OR THE LACK OF IT We will remember this year most for its long gas lines and high fuel cost. Energy, or lack of it, was sud- denly important to everybody, including students. The country's energy problem at once became our own personal energy problem, and if that meant no beach party on Labor Day, it was a true crisis. Energy awareness penetrated all facets of our lives. While the Kinks sang on the car radio about not being able to find a gallon of gas, we waited hours in stand-still lines to buy five dollars worth at half-gallon prices. No longer objects of worship, our cars became symbols of oppres- sion as the gas gauge slipped closer and closer to E in an effort to stretch our fuel dollar. If the prices seemed more bearable this fall it was only because then we didn't have the spectre of odd-even gas rationing. Even if the gas supply seemed less limited, few of us forgot the fuel frenzy and the time of the ever hungry gas tank. before the official Start of school.

Each time you go down Wash- ington Road you pass the school and read the threat on the sign, Wel- come back. You say to whoever you are with, I can't bear the thought of going back to that, but you both know you mean you can't wait. 4 ABOVE: Deep thought can be seen on Linda BELOW: A vase of flowers helps to symbolize Almeida's face as she pours over her first test the end of a lovely summer and the return to school. 5 The Air Is Charged The day finally comes, the school finally opens. Sure the teams have been practicing for weeks, but the first day of class is what really counts. You stagger through the halls, unwill- ing to believe it hasn't changed. You meet old friends, and you chatter about the teachers you've seen so far. The air is charged — you're waiting for the boom to drop. Finally the day ends, and whether you had 5 or 8 periods you can't help thinking how fast it went. TOP: Concentration is etched on the face of Dr. Evanovich as he prepares future lesson plans.

BELOW: Myrna Schiller looks on as Maria Zabaleta demonstrates the use of the micro- film machine. L The next day you're back, and somehow that seems unnatural. You feel a little put upon, you've already had school for the year! You wonder when it's ever going to end, and leave you at peace. The day ulti- mately passes, and others follow. Soon you're in the middle of the year. The classrooms are colder now that the crisis has turned down the ther- mostats. The cold is only noticed at the start of class, and never while you're in the hallways. TOP: Grace Lyons checks the combination of her new locker.

RIGHT: There are many reports to be done in a school year and Barbara Koch knows they all take a lot of research Life goes on during the year like it always has. You may be concerned about where you're going to get gas on the weekend for your date, but you'll still go to the same places, and drive just as fast. When you find a job, you spend your break thinking about how you've worked all day for a half a tank of gas. You try to decide if it's more important to go cruising around town that night, or to eat dur- ing the next week. You long for last year, you think how good it was when you were a junior (sophomore, freshman . . .). Last winter is discussed, and those snow days look so attractive now, but you wish you had school when you make them up at Easter. You wonder what the summer is going to be like after a fall that brought a hurricane on September 6, and snow on Octo- ber 10.

You try to schedule guidance appointments for gym class, so you don't have to sit on that cold, cold floor in your shorts. You stay up late one night for an essay, and you pray for a power fail- ure to shut out the lights so you can go to sleep. Some heartless rumor- monger suggests that the heating-oil shortage has been caused by cafete- ria food. The teachers find there's no way to take an accurate roll call until three minutes into class. Half of the class rounds the corners of a 43-minute period to stay in the hall and discuss the shows on T.V., or the clothes you bought with the money from your new job, or the gas mileage your new car doesn't get. 12 ABOVE: This montage of clippings displays Audrey Karmin's sense of school spirit.

Classes that were suspended because it was too cold to think are cancelled because it's too hot to move. You're forced to admire the delicate irony of the fact that even if the school had central air conditioning they wouldn't be allowed to use it any- way. When the day ends you give up doing your homework to “go out and enjoy the fresh air, because all win- ter you had to give up doing your homework to go to the movies, or go bowling, or go over somebody's house to listen to records.

You swear you'll never let go of your old friends and you can't wait to meet all those new people at college. You wonder what it's like to leave home, and you wonder how you ever lived through this year of shortages and crises. You won't learn the truth unti years later, that this year was the most full of any you ever had, and that you were the flame that burned brightest through the year. It will take a longer while until you realize that on Graduation Day 1980 you left the truest home you'll ever know. 17 THE LIGHTER SIDE 18 1 he lighter Side To some students, school is defi- nitely the darker side of life, but to others there is a lighter side. These people make the most of their stay in the building by remaining after school for hours working for some organization. These students make an honest effort towards bettering life in their school and community. This is the Lighter Side, with stu- dents and advisors co-operating cre- atively in a relaxed atmosphere. Stu- dents work now because they want to, on things that appeal especially to them. Students continue their school rel- ations by hanging out at the mov- ies, at parties or at their favorite fast foods places. Showing that school doesn't always mean anguish and torture, but that there can also be benefits, good times and personal satisfaction, ener- getic students participate in the Lighter Side. The Lighter Side 19 in Energy People Spark New Trends... 20 Quo Vadis Quo Vadis 1980 evolved from a unique mixture of personalities. Faced with the task of outdoing pre- vious yearbook accomplishments, a pressure intensified by the success of Quo Vadis 79, this year's staff began early by attending a combination training seminar-swim party held in August at the publisher's house. Only after diving head first into the chore of choosing a theme and cover design were the heat-stricken editors allowed to jump feet first into the swimming pool. When they weren't fighting over whose turn it was to use the padded chair, managing editor john Lynch (bottom center) and layout editor Grace Karaffa (bottom left) could be found conversing over previous plan- ners in the left rear corner of A-207. With techni-cropper and techni-ruler close at hand, the pair set out early to create a graphic layout structure that would be unique to this year's book. At the opposite corner of the room, advisor Ms. Joseph and manag- ing editor Sandra Check (below) could always be found diligently supervising the entire production, scanning brownlines, approving arti- cles, and detailing the week's work schedule. Copy editor Rob Butchko, dubbed the Disappearing Prince for his habit of leaving rooms without leav- ing a forwarding address, could sometimes be found at the type- writer, intermittently clicking away and pausing to absorb creative inspi- ration from his radio. The radio was in direct competition with Ms. Joseph's headaches, inspiring cries of Robert, will you please lower that noise! Sandwiched between these work forces were editors Vic Wolski (top far left) and Chris Grossman, occupy- ing the center of the room. Caught in the never ending maze of picture schedules and coach interviews, these editors found themselves in constant pursuit of the exceptional candid. Similarly, the cheery two- some of Linda Rogers (top center) and Lisa Cypra, appropriately appointed as the Lighter Side editors, were faced with the age old problem of organizing interesting group pic- tures. Although good photographs are major concerns and universal to all editors, they are particularly impor- tant to class section editors. Senior editors Maria Zabaleta and Dawn Zollinger (opposite bottom right) met the tedious work of sorting por- traits with enthusiasm, quickly learn- ing to circulate from place to place in their quest to find a place to com- plete their work. Underclass editors Pam Sowley (below right) and Lynda Giovenco were able to sympathize, having been mutually unassigned to a designated area. When business editor Lynne Kowzan (bottom far left) finished her chores in the eco- nomic world, she joined the ranks of the class editors and lent helpful hands and useful ideas to less fortu- nate editors who still had to com- plete their sections. Adding a new dimension to the Curriculum section, editors Lynne Jones (opposite, top right) and Laura Saltzman worked on personalizing the faculty unit of the book. To the staff of the yearbook, and to the untitled helpers such as editor assistants Rich Platkin and Jerry Lebeda, and charismatic staffer Paul La Plante, yearbook work, while often a chore, was always an experi- ence. Quo Vadis 21 Laura Salizman epitomizes the end. Sandy ypra organizes her sectioi 22 Quo Vadis Talent Expected to Yield Third 1 st Place It isn't easy following up a success. That was the obstacle facing the liter- ary magazine, as Images scored a First Place in the Columbia Scholastic Press Association judging last year. As comparisons are inevitable, Mrs. Gel- sinon assured another magazine as good or better than last year. Images was expanded, as pages of material were added. So, with equal quality, the eight editors were faced with a difficult task. Co-Art editors John Wisniewski and Vic Wolski picked a capable staff to illustrate the magazine with drawings and photo- graphs. We're both first year edi- tors, Wolski explained, so we might employ a unique style differ- ent from past years. Short story editor Rob Butchko vowed a representative selection of interesting and provoking writings. Poetry editor Brent jaffe said he would stress variety with layout edi- tor Penny Silletti promising an eye- opening magazine. The production was controlled by editorial consult- ant Debbie Jackubowski, with typing editor Lori Wisniewski and business manager Les Morgan handling the mechanics of the magazine. Advisor Mrs. Gelsinon felt that she had entrusted the publication to a very capable staff of editors, who lent a unique creativity to the magazine. ABOVE: Images editors get a meeting underway.

This was one student's response concerning the marked changes in quality, content and regu- larity of Echo Lites. Mrs. Shur, the new advisor, felt that the compe- tence of the staff and their determi- nation to see Echo Lites respected were the keys to change. The editors aimed at publishing an edition once a month, and were very successful. A monthly edition meant that news was more up to date and relevant to its readers. We tried to print articles that had a direct effect on the stu- dents, explained Mrs. Shur. Feature articles about students, minimum wage for juvenile workers and the cancellation of the senior class trip had a direct bearing on the student body. Artwork of some kind appeared in every issue as well as Faculty Flashback which was a trib- ute to the athletic achievements of the faculty, remarked editor Brent Jaffe. Last year, editorial work was done during homeroom because most of the editors were seniors and didn't want to stay after school, com- mented veteran editor Don Ferenci. This year, meetings were held after school so there was more time put into the paper. Mrs. Shur felt that cooperation within the staff resulted in a better quality paper. The editors were a capable group of people who worked hard in making the newspa- per the important type of school media it should be. 24 Echo Lites Echo Lites 25 Editors Brent )affe and Don Ferenci discuss a future layout. Council Ranks 2nd in Qtate 491. That was the lucky number guessed by custodian Mr. Angelone in the Student Council Holiday Hap- piness game. The happy winner won the jar of chocolate kisses and $5.00. The remainder of the funds raised was donated to JFK hospital. A major organization, the Student Council not only held holiday flower sales for the March of Dimes, but also visited the JFK Hospital over the Christmas holiday. Elves and a Santa Claus cheered the children, not to mention the nurses of pediatrics. For the 18th year, the Council was recognized as an Honor Student Council by the New Jersey Associa- tion of Student Councils. The consist- ently high ranking of this group is based on a foundation of experience. Head advisor Ms. Kwiatkowski has been involved in the Student Council since she was a student at Sayreville High. Continuing her venture into school politics, she became a Junior Counselor in college. Mrs. Kratinski has also been a very effective advisor for many years. Her creative input has been invaluable to the Council's continuous success. The smooth running of our school government can be credited to the dedication of these advisors. This active association received a ranking of 2nd place among New Jer- sey's Student Councils. From its advi- sors to its student membership, there is no lack of enthusiasm.

Everything Almost Went... After a half-hour of havoc caused while the entire student body was crammed into the gym bleachers, the Student Council's version of Almost Anything Goes got off to a flying start. Beginning with the sack race and ending with the dreaded obsta- cle course, the competition marked the end of a week-long effort to pro- mote school spirit. Egged on by a twenty-five dollar prize, members of each class com- peted in the week-long Blue and Gray contest. Throughout the week, both students and teachers were seen wearing such garb as Mexican sombreros, bandana covered T-shirts and country-western outfits. The suc- cess of Blue and Gray Week was especially apparent on Friday when the vast majority of students dressed in their respective class colors and over 90% of the faculty wore brown. The seating problems which started off the Almost Anything Goes competition resulted in frayed nerves among faculty members and students, and caused questions over whether the assembly would be a success. However, these doubts were dispelled as soon as the contest got underway and the students reacted enthusiastically to the various events their classmates participated in. The highlight of the competition came about when referee Steve Medlin made a controversial decision and was hit in the face with a pie by an irate competitor. To the junior class the assembly was especially enjoyable as they won both the basketball throw and the Anything Goes competition. As one student put it, The assembly was not only fun, but added variety to the humdrum school life. 28 Blue and Gray Week ABOVE: Wishing he had shorter legs, Randy McArthur struggles to pedal a tricycle.

Blue and Cray Week 29 Fantasies of a Cartoon World Despite a scheduling conflict with SAT's and a postponement due to a downpour, Homecoming 79 and its festivities were in no way dampened. The half-time was highlighted by Mark Bender's trumpet solo in What I Did For Love. The procession of queen candi- dates and class floats followed Homecoming Queen 1978, Debbie Richel, as she made her final turn around the stadium. The candidates were carried by the Student Council float, Raggedy Ann and Andy and the Dolls. Cartoon characters were the stars of the day as each class developed its own rendition of its favorite comic strip. Seniors chose Ziggy and his dog Fuzz, juniors designed a float for Snoopy, and the sophomores put out a prize-win- ning effort for Winnie the Pooh. The climax of the afternoon's activ- ities came with the crowning of the new Queen, Veronica Spolowitz. The day was one for reliving the fantasies of the cartoon world and rediscover- ing the joys of childhood, which we too soon leave behind. Homecoming Queen Veronica Spolowitz smiles after receiving her crown and cape. Taking the traditional final ride around the sta- dium, 1978 Queen Debbie Richel waves to the crowd.

Not Just a Beauty Pageant Any More In recent years, cheerleading has grown from a popularity contest and a beauty pageant of sorts into a sport of its own. This growth was evi- dent in this year's cheerleading squad. Although still popular mem- bers of the student body, the cheer- leaders are athletes in their own right. The stunts and gymnastic maneuvers executed required great physical conditioning and self-disci- pline. The squad had to practice for many hours a week in order to keep in shape. For this reason, dedication played a large role in the characteris- tics necessary for all of the cheerlead- ers. Under the direction of Mrs. Fehrle, veteran cheerleading coach, the girls worked diligently towards their goal of adding life to the games at which they cheered. With her help, they projected spirit throughout the foot- ball and basketball seasons. Through their banners and cheers, they helped to bolster the morales of not only the teams, but the spectators as well. New uniforms added a touch of spirit to the squad. The brand new look added freshness and modernity to their style. Both in the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat, the cheerleaders remained very enthusiastic. Spirit didn't wane just because of an unsuccessful effort by one of the teams. Spirit abounded when there was victory. The cheerleaders took their sport seriously, having an excellent attitude toward it and being very successful at it. Cheerleaders 33 I ABOVE: Flutist Sharyn Bloodgood adds a light touch to the music.

Cone are the last place finishes of previous years. Under the expert direction of Mr. Ketterer, the band scored highly in their competitions. Their achievements included a first place award in their division at the Woodbridge Christmas Parade, and a third place in the November 11 com- petition at Madison Central High School. The number of drum majors was changed from the traditional two to one. To make up the void that the decrease caused, Mr. Ketterer estab- lished some new positions in the band. The additions of “Captain of the Band and various section cap- tains allowed more students to get more actively involved in the work- ings of the marching band. The marching band did not only perform at football games and in competitions. They also enjoyed good, clean fun. The band parents held a Christmas Party at the YMCA. In front of a roaring fire everyone relaxed and enjoyed the spirit of Christmas. Under the direction of Mr. Ket- terer, the marching band evolved into a well rounded unit that gained the respect of the entire student body.

Those were the director's favorite words and thus they became the motto of the Band and the Band Front. Under the liberal guidance of Mr. Ketterer, renewed enthusiasm, interest, and novelties became the order of the day. Streamers, batons, and handker- chiefs became the trademark of the twirlers' Vaquero routine. The rifle squad's use of flags in their routine added a new look. A harmonious effort with the silks and Drill Team earned a second place for the entire Band Front at the Madison Central High School Annual Salute To Amer- ica Competition.

Band Front 37 Making Music for the Fun of If For a more contemporary alterna- tive to concert or marching band, some students chose the Studio Band. Because of the smaller enroll- ment there was greater emphasis on individual achievement. The students in Studio Band had a sincere interest in music and dedicated much of their time to practice. Modern music pro- vided them with a way to improve their technique. All of the members were highly enthusiastic about the ensemble. Although the main objective of the students was to enjoy themselves, they performed at various school functions, such as the Pancake Break- fast. As band director Mr. Tim Ket- terer commented, “We need diversi- fied groups; concert band is for those who want to keep in practice with their instruments, but Studio Band is to have fun! ABOVE.

Fog Doesn't Hinder Performance Erecting sets, painting scenery, and creating special effects whisked away the hours till curtain time for the stage crew. Despite the hectic nights and frequent minor disasters before- hand, the stage crew's work was at its best during performances. Stage managers Chris Silletti and Frank Sollecito were responsible for seeing that both the Fall Drama and Spring Musical ran smoothly. Some difficulties that confronted the stage crew' were a suspected short in the sound system found two days prior to opening night, and a frantic search for, believe it or not, an ironing board. The fog in The Real Inspector Hound was one of the special effects created by the stage crew. The difficulty of arranging settings for surrealistic plays was a challenge well met by the stage crew. To fur- ther the atmosphere, the lighting technique used focused on the actors rather than the scenery. Preparation required for the Spring Musical was more complicated than that for the Fall Drama. Arrangements were more involved as lights had to be rented and hung to enhance scenery. More complex settings had to be moved on and off stage between scenes. The audience's enjoyment of the evening was a yardstick to measure the com- petency of Mr. Cunliffe's staff. Stage Crew 39 ABOVE: The first layer of makeup is pul on Ed Melee by Laurel Lorenc.

A Qtroke of Genius Makes a Colorful Play Changing young to old and thin to fat was the .art of the Paint Powder club. Through the use of base, red dots, and rouge, the crew created very realistic effects. The success of the make-up people or brushes, as they refer to them- selves, depended upon their cooper- ation with their advisor, Mr. Bordak. One month prior to dress rehearsals, Mr. Bordak gave demonstrations on new techniques involving make-up application. Make-up application can be read- ily applied to everyday life. Hallow- een costumes were given that special touch with correctly applied make- up. Crediting Mr. Bordak's excellent work, Ioann Samuel received a $25 bond for her creative Halloween cos- tume. Although behind the scenes, the Paint Powder club has firmly estab- lished itself as an important part of theatrical productions.

The audience stared in amazement as the stage was lit to show Grace Karaffa c rawling on her knees sniff- ing the rug as Brent )affe blew on a light bulb from atop a chair. What kind of play were they seeing in which actor Paul La Plante himself looked on in disbelief? Soon Rob Butchko arrived to straighten things out, stopping occasionally to clutch his forehead in agony. Was this some sort of joke on director Charles Cun- liffe's part? No, it was surrealism. The fall drama consisted of two one-act plays written by Britain's Tom Stoppard. The surrealistic farces, entitled After Magritte and The Real Inspector Hound, were pre- sented on the4 nights of December 7 and 8. Plays of this kind deal with the fine line between reality and a kind of dream world. Between the first rehearsal in mid- October and the final one early in December, the cast worked diligently preparing and rehearsing the plays. Time was short and every hour of rehearsal time was precious. Besides having to deal with difficult material and spending many hours of discus- sion as to the meanings of the plays, each cast member had to work on a British accent to add to the desired English atmosphere. Having achieved that, the cast took to the stage to learn their positioning for individual scenes. Everything finally climaxed in two laudible performances. 151 LOW LEFT: Searching the premises, Paul La Planie comes under the watchful eye of Lori Mehl.

High school students weren't the only ones to scramble for a pinata's fallen goodies. The students of vari- ous elementary schools were visited by the Spanish Honor Society in the fall and spring. In addition to break- ing the pinata, the youngsters were taught the art of making Spanish ojos. A choice of foods, including paella, was offered to club members who attended the dinner trip on Decem- ber 5.

The French National Honor Society put an idea that had formerly been experimented with into practice this year. Once every two weeks, senior members of the society traveled to Eisenhower School to teach sixth graders French. This effort to pro- mote the French language was a complete success according to the seniors who participated in the pro gram. The grammar school students could not wait for the Fridays when they would learn a few more words in French. It's a frightening experi- ence to be 'the teacher', but as the lessons progressed, our confidence grew and we began to enjoy our- selves, said Michele Golla, the Soci- ety's President. Another precedent set by Mrs. Parks, the advisor to both French organizations in the school, was the purchase of T-shirts emblazoned with catchy French phrases. The French Honor Society also tried another new idea when they opted against taking in the usual Broadway show and instead explored the hid- den treasures of New York museums looking for examples of French cul- ture.

Wilkomen a la fete de Navidad What did the month of December, three European tongues and tastes, candy hanging from a ceiling, and rock music all have in common? That's right, with the holiday season swiftly approaching, it was time once again for the Foreign Language Festi- val. An ambitious effort from the com- bined forces of the French, German, and Spanish Clubs helped celebrate the holidays, continuing a school tra- dition. Students and faculty members alike mingled in the cafeteria and enjoyed the food, musical entertain- ment, prizes, and pinata, all for.a minimal donation. The members of the respective clubs brought in foods which were typical of their second language's culture. They went down to the cafe- teria early eighth period to set up the tables and furnish the room with a cheery decor. A musical group con- sisting of seniors Mark Scimeca, Frank Genus, Joe Quinto, and Rick Plewa performed two sets of rock music to entertain the patrons. Between sets, the audience was treated to a short Christmas skit cour- tesy of Patricia Kirk and the German Club. Lucky ticket holders won candy furnished by the clubs and the cere- monial breaking of the pinata took place.. At the end of the festival, the guests went home, lifted by the holi- day spirits and the custodial ritual of disassemblement was carried out by several dedicated club members, reeling in the satisfaction of another successful event. 48 Foreign Festival The candle lighting ceremony is an important moment to Grace Karaffa during NHS induction.

National Honor Society 51 The Team Without a Sport Sayreville's newest team will never take the field, and even the toughest contest will probably not draw a sweat. Despite all that, this team has already proven itself a success. Instead of athletic ability, skill in the Olympics of the Mind is measured by mental prowess. Individual students were evaluated for their ingenuity, intelligence, and originality, then were summoned for a tryout testing their spontaneous problem-solving abiltiy. From the large field, a team of twenty and five alternates were chosen. Three weeks of training in creative thinking, brainstorming, and group dynamics culminated in their first projects. The team was split into units and given a task to perform while being as creative as possible within the framework of the prob- lem. The teams successfully executed such tasks as creating new musical instruments and inventing a talking robot which doused cigarettes in a can of water. Olympic advisor Mrs. Gelsinon has great hopes for the bright minds on her team, not only for their Olym- pic sessions, but also for their futures.

Putting Logical Minds to the Test Chess club membership increased again as the popularity of the game continued to rise. This was eviden- ced by the fact that the younger stu- dents in the school are mostly inter- ested in the club with only two of the fifteen members being seniors. One of the seniors, John Sobiranski, has made quite a study of the game. Along with president Anthony Mata- grano, John instructed each member of the club on the finer points of the game before the weekly games com- menced. Greater organization was the big- gest improvement made this year. Records were kept of each member's wins and losses. In addition, Anthony Matagrano developed a ladder sys- tem to rate each player, which insured that players competed against opponents of equal ability. This allowed club members to improve their skill while playing with players of the same ability. The library isn't a closed book to its Council members. Taking the work- load off of Mrs. Simko's shoulders, they sacrifice their homeroom and study to catalog and organize books. Interior design marked the start of the Christmas season for the Council.

Most students loathe taking tests, yet there are some students who real- ize that under certain circumstances the taking of tests can be a learning experience. This was the thinking of the students who participated in the Math and Science League tests. The Math Club took monthly tests administered by the New Jersey Mathematics League. Their scores were then compared to those of other schools throughout the state. In addition, club members traveled to Stockton State College for a state math competition. Vic Wolski led Sayreville with the highest score in the competition, just as he and Lori Rosenkopf consistently led in the monthly tests. The Science League took four monthly tests in three fields: biology, chemistry, and physics. Four scores from each subject were combined and sent in for comparison with other state schools. Each student who competed in at least three tests received a certificate of participation, and the top four finishers in the state received cash prizes. All of the tests were difficult, but the students taking them realized they could only help them learn. For some students, taking tests paid off.

Green Thumbs Create Holiday Spirit Poking sharp green fern into chicken wire might not sound like much, but that was what the Biology Club did this year. Actually it was very important because it was the beginnings of the school's traditional symbol of holiday spirits, the wreath. The pricks and scratches of the stu- dent craftsmen did not earn a purple heart, but only a cheerful sense of accomplishment. It was only fitting that a club devoted to the under- standing of living things should donate the dec- orative fern wreath.

Along with other projects concerning ecology, the dub grew flowers to sell for the school's annual art fair.

Although it may seem annoying at the time, these signs help support the teams during com- petition. A general interest in sports and the building of school spirit to match their own was reflected in the enthu- siasm of the Pep Club members at school games. This same interest was the reason Miss Johnson chose to be advisor. As the center of school spirit, the Pep Club distributed sports sched- ules and sponsored buses to away games so game attendance could be increased. Their hard work was seen whether the teams won or lost. The Pep Club was one of the most con- sistent extra-curricular activities in its support of athletics.

Spaceships, aliens, chocolate cake pills — all these are possibilities for the future. But they weren't exactly what the future clubs had in mind. Their futures centered on different occupations and how to prepare for them. Future Nurses of America had vari- ous visitors to talk to the members A Registered Nurse and Student Nurse were able to give the FNA members a look at their proposed career from both sides of the coin. The FNA wasn't the only club to provide their members with this uni- que opportunity. The Future Secre- taries of America were asked what fields they were particularly inter- ested in, so the club could get the most popular speakers in for first hand discussions. Tutoring was a valuable chance given to the ambitious Future Teach- ers of America participants. Becom- ing aware of the difficulties of instructing junior High students allowed the FTA to decide if this challenging job was for them. Computers and a highly commer- cialized future stretch ahead of us. The Future Business Leaders of Amer- ica prepared themselves for such a society. Concerned with business as they were, they did not forget to care for humanity. They made Christmas gifts for the Oakview Nursing Home and presented them to the patients personally.

This privilege caused frantic activity among the band members because they were informed of the event only two days before they were to perform. In between learning the music for Washington Post and Sweet Georgia Brown, the band was plagued by the security problems that were involved with the Presi- dent's visit. The White House even called Mr. Ketterer and asked for a list of all band members and told him to check all rifles for hidden weap- ons. Although band members felt that playing for the President was a once in a lifetime experience ' they were hindered by many problems on the day of President Carter's visit. It was blistering cold and the band mem- bers' long wait was increased by con- fusion over the President's arrival and departure times. However, after- wards band members agreed that it was worth all the trouble to play for the President. Greg Wasilewski anxiously awaits the arrival of President Carter. In a serious frame of mind, band members prepare for their performance for President Carter.

Thousands of frozen toes eagerly awaited the arrival of the Olympic flame carried by 52 year old Georgian, DeForrest Jackson. The torch-bearer arrived approxi- mately 48 minutes late, but the enthusiasm of the Olympic entou- rage and the gravity of the event were enough to overcome the delay. Jackson was met with cheers and explained that the torch had been lit from the ever-burning flame in Olympia, Greece. The Student Council, along with borough officials, was responsible for the reception the procession was given. The Council provided signs as a means to identify those clubs repre- senting the school. Speeches were given by Mayor Czernikowski, Mr. John McCormack, Sayreville's liaison with the Olympic Committee, and Assemblyman Alan Karcher. Spectators came out in droves for this historic event. Everywhere you turned,, you could see cameras flash- ing in an effort to record what most likely would be the only time the flame would pass through this area. Following the departure of the entourage, the crowds were offered hot chocolate and fresh doughnuts by the Student Council. The atmos- phere was filled with excitement and those who remained, young and old, reflected on how lucky they were to have been part of such an historic event. Torch upraised, DeForrest Jackson brings the spirit of the Olympics to an appreciative crowd. 1 f Olympic Runner 63 A 9tage for Talent Music was no longer just a course taken in school. The popularity of this performing art grew so greatly in the past few years that it warranted the formation of a Community Con- cert Band. Since its beginning three years ago, the Community Band grew from a mere handful of curious members to twenty-two dedicated musicians. Junior and senior high school stu- dents and teachers, along with mem- bers of the community itself, made up this qualified membership. Involvement with the Community Concert Band has helped me to gain experience while performing in front of a live audience, said vocalist Kathy Diaczyszyn. The positive response from the audiences has helped to make me more at ease while performing. The instrumentalists and vocalists combined their separate talents to create near-perfect harmonies and, under the direction of Kevin T. Law- son, the band's reputation quickly became known throughout the area. TOP: Saxophonists Donna Goskowsky and George Jorgensen pick up the beat.

Halloween becomes more than a children's day, New Year's Eve more than an occa- sion to buy a calendar, and now, your 19th birthday is the major event to celebrate. We might as well face facts. Not only would we fail to make it through the week with our sanity intact, but without parties, weekends would be so boring that we might even begin to enjoy school. BELOW: Sue Malik and George (orgensen exchange a New Year's Eve hug. 68 Curriculum This is the heart of the school. There are activities, diversions, and sidelines aplenty, but it is the every- day life of study that it all revolves around. You can be in every club, let- ter in every sport, and be on the best terms with every one of your teach- ers, but there isn't any way you're going to graduate without those 75 credits. It's always safe to say that this is the most disliked part of the school, and the hardest, and the least imme- diately rewarding. You'll never get a standing ovation for doing your homework, and no one will ever compliment you on how well you explained that trig problem on the board. Nobody has ever managed to go through school and take only courses they like, and maybe no one ever will. Still, everyone so far has gotten out all right, and people have been known to admit there were times when they enjoyed themselves. It is a price you have to pay, but the cost really isn't that high. Curriculum 69 They're People Too! DIVERSIFIED INTERESTS Mr. Counsman's long career involvement with the Sayreville School system has given him enjoy- ment and satisfaction. Having stu- dents do well is the greatest reward of my job ' the Superintendent remarked. But satisfaction is also earned through relaxing with favorite hobbies. Collecting first edition Hummel plates and figurines is one of Mr. Counsman's diversified interests. As a former industrial arts teacher, he still enjoys woodworking, and recently completed a desk and dresser combi- nation and a shelf for his figurines. Mr. Counsman describes himself as a homebody, but given the extra incentive, he does enjoy traveling and has ventured cross-country and to Florida by train. He has never trav- eled by plane and says he feels apprehensive about flying. A relax- ing cruise to Bermuda was one of his favorite excursions. It was clean and beautiful, and the weather was per- fect, he reminisced. Mr. Counsman's only regret in life was that he has never taken time out to learn to play a musical instru- ment. He has learned through his hobbies that school is not the only form of education. He has found that creative thinking also leads to per- sonal achievement. A TYPICAL TOURIST Although her duties as principal require the majority of her time, Dr. Parnell does manage to have time for the lighter side of life. You can always find time to do the things you want to do, she says, showing her key to finding leisure time. Never fully able to separate her life from her work, Dr. Parnell has trav- eled as far as Geneva, Switzerland on behalf of the Accreditation Associa- tion for Secondary Schools. Besides her school associated travels, she has traveled all over the world to broaden her experience. She describes herself as the typical tour- ist, saying, If there's a tour, I'll take it. Dr. Parnell has journeyed to the Orient, the Midwest, and to Europe. On a less dramatic level, she also enjoys the quieter pleasures of flower gardening, reading, and gour- met cooking. Her experience has furnished her with the philosophy that education allows one to do whatever one wishes to do. Dr. Parnell expresss this philosophy through her leisure time as well as through her work in school. HUNTING —ANGLING — DANCING When one thinks of an administra- tor, rarely does a casual image come to mind. Aside from their jobs and duties in school, Mr. Dill, Mr. Weber, and Miss Sowa find time to lead busy and fulfilling lives outside of school. Mr. Dill's hobbies include many facets of outdoor life ranging from hunting to raising dogs. He also has a passion for golf. A sports enthusiast, Mr. Dill shows his school spirit by supporting the Bombers' athletic pro- gram. logging has been a keen interest of Mr. Weber's over the past two years. He also is an avid angler and enjoys salt-water fishing year round. When time permits, he can often be found doing body work on cars and engag- ing in carpentry, and cabinet making. A member of numerous education associations, Miss Sowa still finds time to advise the National Honor Society. As a devotee of the fine arts, Miss Sowa often attends the theatre and ballet in New York City and enjoys listening to Tschaikovsky at home. While cooking and handi- crafts are among her hobbies, her true enjoyment is in traveling. She has visited most countries in Europe and South America as well as Japan, Russia, the Caribbean and the Medi- terranean. 70 Administrators Having a vacation in ruins isn't so bad for Miss Sowa.

Contrary to popular belief, teachers lead busy lives separate from those they lead during school. Feeling as though there aren't enough hours in the day is a common belief among them. Several times a week, Mr. Board- man becomes a student in a role reversal from teacher to student. Teaching all day and going to gradu- ate school at night earned him the nickname the professional student . Mrs. Romano's background in sci- ence prepared her for her vice-presi- dency in the NJSTA, which is involved with the advancement of science education .. .

Helping Hands in Their Communities In addition to handling the bur- dening task of instructing high school students, some teachers find the time to help better their commu- nity in other ways. These teachers show their community conscience by aiding in many community services. The need for people to reach out to those who need help led Mr. Car- cich to help sponsor the Vietnamese Boat people. This program was started in August 1979 by a group of families from his parish ... Instead of just complaining about the energy crisis, Ms. Dusel becomes involved with Safe Energy Alternatives in order to make people aware of the growing need for safer forms of energy ...

For some teachers 2:30 does not mark the end of their work day. After leaving the building many teachers enter into other occupations. While some of these jobs are directly rela- ted to their teaching fields, other teachers are employed in totally unrelated areas.

There are other ways, however, to broaden your horizons. Some teachers at the high school feel that traveling is a combination of learning and pleasure. Mrs. Sforza's trip to Egypt brought her face to face with one of the first civilizations of the world ... I finally got to see all of the things I've always studied about, said Miss C. Kwiat- kowski. Her trip to Spain allowed her to enjoy Spanish culture and enabled her to meet nice Spanish people . .. Walking through Rome was like walking back into time and being part ot history, explained Mrs. jar- dula. Her extensive travel throughout Europe included Switzerland, which she describes as a country of beauty and wealth whose countryside and mountain scenery are spectacular Mr. and Mrs. Simko had the opportunity to experience for them- selves life under communist control during their two week stay in Poland. Mrs. Simko says their visit opened their eyes and made them more aware of the advantages Americans share . Mrs. Groncki has traveled extensively throughout Europe and her favorite city was Paris, although she says London, Paris, and Geneva all have something to offer ... Dur- ing his summer vacations, Mr. Ches- kin takes off for parts unknown and has traveled throughout Europe and the United States and Canada . . . Another summer traveler, Mr. Hor- vath has been to 48 out of 50 states and has traveled to Bermuda, Italy, Mexico and Canada ... Mrs. Haltli enjoys tent camping as a family activ- ity . Mr. Cserr's favorite way to travel is in his trailer. His love of camping has taken him to various campsites throughout the United States and Canada . Mrs. Parks recommends traveling wholeheart- edly and describes her travel in France and Italy as a broadening experience . . . Miss Kopec's exten- sive travels throughout Europe have given her quite an introduction to the romance languages and have given her a chance to put her Spanish to the test ... I've always dreamed of going to Paris, said Mrs. Ludlow, whose dream finally came true. Her trips to Spain and France familiarized her with the cultures she has studied . Mrs. Hazners has the distinction of being born in Latvia and receiving her early education in Germany. Although living in America, she still enjoys traveling and loves the Euro- pean flavor of Montreal . . . During the summer, Mrs. Rhatican takes time out from her nursing career to travel throughout the United States ... Mrs. Logan had the opportunity to teach in the beautiful environs of a foreign country, instructing students in American history during her three year stay in Belgium. Faculty Travel 87 Personal travel inspires Mrs. Simko to research Poland. Mrs. Sforza and Dr. Parnell share a common interest in Egyptian art and travel. New English department member, Mrs. Jardula, dictates a lesson. Head Senior Class advisor Mrs. Kadi reacts to a humorous comment. Paint Powder advisor Mr. Bordak contemplates a new make-up design. Patience, Time and Talent Students should be very grateful to their teachers, and not only for enriching their lives everyday with amazing facts. Extra-curricular activi- ties would not be feasible without the guidance of club advisors. Patience, time, and talent are con- stantly given to involved, school-spir- ited students. Ms. Kwiatkowski and Mrs. Kratin- ski dedicate countless hours to the organization of the student council Miss Johnson is really in the spirit of things this year as pep club advisor ...

Turowski Mrs. Shelley Wasilewski Applying Learning to Everyday Experiences One of the major questions in the minds of science students in the past has been the applicability of what is learned to everyday experiences. For this reason, the science teachers this year stressed useful knowledge rather than just book knowledge. Lecture is the basis for every sci- ence course. As Miss Lamprecht (bot- tom right) uses the board as a teach- ing tool, the next logical step is the use of the microscope by Kenny Beyer (bottom center). Declining test scores have brought about a reevaluation of teaching methods. Like so many other teach- ers, Mr. Osborn has found it benefi- cial to provide individual instruction to Bob Manzi (bottom far right). However, limited facilities force mass instruction (top far right) in the physical education department in areas where Mr. Hefelfinger, depart- ment chairman, feels specialized instruction would be more benefi- cial. Varsity lettermen, such as Mike Wasko, feel . . . bored when the class is learning the fundamentals of a sport that they have mastered. Lack of space forces the girls to par- ticipate in en masse line soccer (top right) during inclement weather. 92 Curriculum Curriculum 93 94 Curriculum Specialized Views of Future Opportunities While academics are a large part of the school, the vocational courses offer a specialized view of future opportunities. Those students such as Scott D'Al- oia (bottom left) enrolled in business courses are prepared to become established in the business world upon graduation. This preparation for life extends into the Home Economics and Indus- trial Arts departments. The age-old art of cooking is no longer confined to the home (top far left). With today's prices rising phenomenally, being an expert seamstress like Tammy Gerenza (bottom far left), cuts down on clothing expenses. On the job training starts early for those students enrolled in the Beauty Occupations course taught by Mrs. Moore (bottom center). The Indus- trial Arts courses provide students like Bernie Malik (top left) a look at different career objectives, while also offering Dot Hurley the chance to find photography as a new hobby (top center). Curriculum 95 Creativity Flourishes in Relaxed Atmospheres Cut off from the world, stranded in a place without time, with no outside communication, who could find any reason to be cheerful? When speak- ing of the new art wing, Mrs. Sforza (bottom center) maintains that despite the fact that the new art wing opened late, without a clock or tele- phone, and that many people were unable to find it for their classes, it is in the best location it has ever had. Possibly more appreciated than any other class, the new jewelry facil- ities provided more professional equipment such as the buffer used by Stacy Wexler (top right). This new permanent location affords Mrs. Kra- tinski (top center) the opportunity to devote her attention to her students' projects rather than packing them away. The total mobility of the classroom furniture has provided ample space for Dan Pelszynski (bottom far right) to work on his project. Freedom of expression finds another outlet in the Language Arts Department. With his own rendition of the Crosswits Game, Steve Yuhas (top far right) tests his classmates' command of their weekly vocabu- lary. Moving beyond vocabulary, Spanish classes (bottom right) dis- cover epic poetry and fables in their foreign language study. % Curriculum Curriculum 97 People Behind the Scenes The secretaries are an enthusiastic group of women, vital to the organi- zation of the school. Although Mrs. Buckiewicz (bottom center), has filed mountains of papers, she still musters a smile. Refusing to be left out, they kept school spirit alive by participating in Blue and Gray week. Mrs. Trent and Mrs. Novak (top right), brightened up their week by dressing up in their favorite T-shirts. Among the people who are seen and never heard are the custodians. They spend their time cleaning up after the rest of us, but rarely did we notice the enthusiasm which led them through their work. The custo- dians are an energetic and spirited group, who always have time to smile. Tony Lopez (bottom right), is an optimistic member of the group. Despite his busy work schedule, Tony always found time to take care of Quo Vadis. They showed their appreciation for him by throwing a small surprise party. The most thankless job in the school, however, may belong to the workers in the cafeteria. Working hard preparing lunches occupied most of their day, but a witty reper- toire kept them smiling. Not even cleaning up could dim Ann Szafran- ski's (top center), cheerfulness. These people may be taken for granted at times, but they are very important to the rounds of a school attended by 1500 students. 98 Sec. Cust. Cafe. Sec. Cust. Cafe. 99 ATHLETICS I 100 Athletics It all sounds very noble — the thrill of victory, the agony of defeat — the human drama of athletic com- petition — but when you're scrap- ing the mud off your cleats it doesn't seem so grand. Wimbledon isn't what springs to your mind when you're bandaging the blisters on your hand. Breaking the tape at the Olym- pics isn't what you think about as you run laps in the parking lot. You can only dream about the basket at the buzzer as you line up to practice foul shots. No one likes to put out the mats for practice, and forget about putting them back. Can you imagine a group of people who enjoy sliding in mud, who get pleasure from slamming their body into someone running straight for them? Who would want to give up all their afternoons for something that requires great effort, involves consid- erable physical risk, and which leaves you spent, worn, and tired every time — which more often than not is just rehearsal for the real thing? When it really counts, when it takes all the previous effort and more, and when the end result can often be nothing more than the epithet loser what sort of people would call that their greatest pleasure? They're called athletes. Athletics 101 Dramatic Comeback Leads to County Tourney ... A good total team effort, was what Coach Hudock attributed the turnaround to this season as the team fought back after winning just one of their first six games to raise their record to 8-9-1, the best in six years. This dramatic comeback culmi- nated in Sayreville's first appearance in the county tournament and their first participation since 1971 in the state tournament. The Varsity Soccer team performed well, despite losing in the first round 2-0 to two highly ranked opponents. Senior Glen Guido controlled the defense from his center fullback pos- ition in front of senior goalie Dave Sutton, who recorded two important midseason shutouts for the Bombers. Senior right wing Frank Devine and sophomore scoring leader John Roros, with 11 goals and 6 assists, spearheaded the offense. Coach Hudock cited a lot of accomplishments in his two years as coach and said that the appearance in the tournament was the highlight of his years of coaching.

ABOVE: Wincing from the contact, Marc Tog- lia heads the ball upfield. BELOW: Keeping the ball from the goal mouth, Stuart Markowitz heads away across. Juniors Provide Backbone for Jayvee Teams Coach Corrigan's adeptness at jug- gling positions made the difference. After an 0-4 start, he made several key switches in positions which, in combi- nation with a fantastic performance by rookie goalie Jeff Connors, brought the team back to win six decisions in a row and to finish the season at 6-7-1. Connors, a junior, had three shutouts amidst the skein of victories for the JV Soccer team, and came up with 37 saves in a losing effort against East Brunswick. Our defense kept us in games ' explained the coach. Our offense only averaged two to three shots on goal per game. Juniors Stuart Markowitz and captain Steve Krawet were the back- bone of the defense. Junior Tom Brady led the team in scoring with 7 goals, providing the team with the offense necessary for victory. Once again inexperience is the root of the problem. The team can also blame a lack of playing time for their 0- 4-5 season. Only three girls returned from the 1978-1979 season for another year of play. The mostly junior dominated JV Field Hockey team was lead by Captains Debbie Coyle and Kim Sabine. Debbie was the high scorer with a total of two goals. Other goals were made by Michele Balzamo, Lauri LaBranche, and Kim Sabine. The team managed to stretch these goals into five tie games. Coach Ryan felt the team had many tough losses, winning until the last minutes of the game, when opponents would even up the score. An example of this was a gru- eling game against South River. Against a highly skilled team, Sayreville held strong defensively and wound up at a 2- 2 tied score. Because the girls had the necessary elements for a successful season, Ms. Ryan expected, a better record than achieved. However, the girls couldn't seem to combine these elements effec- tively, and the lack of experience over- shadowed any potential talent the girls might have had.

Fight! Win! Beat Highland Park! These were the cheers heard before the closely matched Girl's Varsity Field Hockey game against the Highland Park Owls. The cheers psyched the girls up just enough to go on to hold their opponents to a 0- 0 tie. It was this spirit and a lot of hard work which led the girls to a 3- 5-3 final record. Disappointing, was the general feeling Coach Willis had about her final season at SWMHS. It was disap- pointing only because she felt the team had enough experience to do better through the tough varsity schedule. Seniors Linda Almeida, Nancy Burbank, Mary Ellen D'Angelo, Caralyn Donnamaria, Sue Klein, and Denise Kowaleski all returned for their third year of varsity play. How- ever, experience could not offset the fact that the team had few natural athletes. Despite these downfalls, the team did post a Middlesex County Tourna- ment win which highlighted the sea- son. The girls won the game 6-0. Cindy Scavone tallied up 3 goals along with Caralyn Donnamaria, Mary Ellen D'Angelo, and Sue Klein, who each tallied one. According to Coach Willis, On a whole the team worked hard. The main problem this season was the lack of aggressiveness crucial to a winning varsity field hockey team.

The Sayre- ville Boys' Cross Country dynasty rolled along, as the team breezed through its second consecutive undefeated season and conference championship. Needless to say, Coach Carney was pleased, especially with the team's attitude, claiming, this was the best team I have ever coached. This year the course was the longer distance of 5000 meters, or about 3.1 miles, but the coach was pleased with his runners' times. The team was led by junior joe Longo, who turned in the outstanding time of 16:46 and garnered first team all-county hon- ors. Other outstanding distance men included senior co-captain Dale Buchberger, and sophomores john Kiernan, who once ran an excellent 16:52, and Joe Seminaro, the sur- prise of the year.

Still, good looks were not the only thing the team had going for them. Talent was the main reason for the 5-7 success of this season's running. Returning from last year's squad were Ellyn Briody and Elise Green. Ellyn broke the 5000 meter record with a time of 20 minutes and 37 sec- onds. She, along with senior Donna Gaasbeck, placed in the top 10 in the Highland Park Invitational. The team's talent was not only shown in her personal achievements. The team placed 9th out of 30 in the county tournament, and 10th out of 20 in the state tournament. This title was attained with a strong effort by three freshmen, Jackie Bouchard, Ann Marie Macaluso and Elaine Michel. The season ended on an upswing. The girls not only won three races against Colonia, Perth Amboy and Woodbridge, but also picked up one minute on their best times. Coach Doll felt the girls improved tremen- dously and ended the season strongly.

Girls'Cross Country 111 Fight to the Very Last Volley The final record of a team does not always show how a season actually went. Such is the case with this year's Girls' Tennis Team. An unimpressive 4-20 record only shows the results of point standings. However, the season did bring an important result, a tight unit, a team which worked for each other. The season began with a less than promising start. The team suffered from an extreme lack of experience, because of the few positions availa- ble last year. The team soon devel- oped their own veterans, with Kathy Romer earning the title star player. The high point of her season was a singles game against South River, which Coach Maurer described as a fantastic match. The team's other important players were Dawn Sutter and Darci DeWorth, who played second and third singles respectively. Dawn Locklin returned for her final year of play and did well on the first doubles team. Coach Maurer felt this year's girls were the most team-oriented group ever. They worked as a whole and never gave up on themselves or each other. Although sometimes frustrated, they continued to work hard and fight to the very last volley.

All-arounds Mike Saltzman and Mike Wasko led the Boys' Gymnastics team to a third place finish in the State Team Cham- pionship and second place in the Central Jersey Division A. Saltzman placed second in the state finals and fourth in the section- als in the floor exercise. Wasko took third in the state finals and first in the sectionals in vaulting. In all, six mem- bers of the team qualified for the sec- tionals, including senior captain Rick Plewa on the side horse, seniors Pat Ryan in vaulting, Jim Cassidy in vault- ing and rings, and junior Tony D'Arpa in vaulting and the floor exercise. In addition to his other accom- plishments, Saltzman set a new school record in the floor exercise with an 8.4, and participated in new school team records along with D'Arpa and Wasko in floor exercise and vaulting. This year's team, with an 8-3 record, was Sayreville's best team in six years, according to a pleased Coach Hefelfinger.

Boys' Gymnast ics IIS Poise, Grace, Agility and Imagination There is one sport which is unique from any other. It combines skill, grace, agility, poise and imagination, and requires perfect physical condi- tion. When the correct proportions of these qualities are combined, the ultimate in gymnastics is achieved. As in the past, the Sayreville Girls' Gymnastics team found the talent to achieve this goal. Although their dis- appointing 2-7 record did not show it, the team had strength in almost every event. Junior Donna Rytel's injury in the beginning of the season caused a critical vacancy in the bar routines. However, in every other event Sayreville placed in the top three in almost every meet. Based upon the finesse of Donna Schneider, Coach Rudge believed the beam was the team's strongest point. In an evenly matched meet against Carteret, the girls proved their superi- ority by winning the meet 64-62. Donna Miara placed first in vaulting, along with Amy Nesterwitz, who also took a first place for her floor routine. junior Lisa Orgonas improved the most over the course of the season. Beginning by just performing on the bars she broadened her field and became an all around competitor. Because the team consisted mostly of other talented underclassmen.

Girls' Gymnastics 117 Condo Gains All-County Honors An inexperienced team and a tough schedule against well-estab- lished teams combined to offset the good efforts of Coach Barnes and his team. The season started at a disad- vantage, with a new coach having to teac h a new system to the players for the second year in a row. Coach Barnes was forced, out of necessity, to start many underclass- men on the Varsity Football team this year, noting that the experience will help us. The Bombers improved as the season progressed, but predict- ably finished with a poor record, as all the negative factors caused the team to drop all nine of its contests. The outstanding player of the year was senior back Steve Condiracci, who earned all-county honors. Other senior starters included Mark Ryan and backs Kevin Shanley and A. J. Sabine, who was injured most of the season. Juniors Mario Mascali and Doug Ryan were outstanding as line- man and linebacker, respectively. Back, Wayne Locklin and cornerback Keith Conlon, both sophomores, also played well. A major accomplishment for the team was shutting out powerful South River in the first quarter of the Thanksgiving Day game, with Sayre- ville taking the offensive. The team eventually lost 27-0, but also shut down the Rams in the last quarter. The progress made by Sayreville in the course of the year was reflected in this final contest of the season.

Coach Giordano commended his team for trying hard, never quitting as they man- aged two wins and scored in every game. This year's jV Football season was constructive, as the top starters gained much experience. They included sophomores Dale Raub, Todd McGrath, John Mininno, and Gerard Porpora, and juniors john Kraivec, Ed Neminski, and Glen Lazo. This should prove beneficial to next year's varsity squad, according to Coach Giordano. The team finished its season by dominating Perth Amboy for a 26-0 shutout victory. Returning to the sports program after a year's absence, success was very sweet. The Sophomore Football team was Sayreville's most successful gridiron squad this year. After drop- ping their first two games, the team rebounded, buoyed by their excel- lent defense, to win their last four contests. In their last five games, the defense rose to block five punts, scoring four touchdowns. Defensive leaders including Dan Carlo, Dennis Mascali, john Mininno, and Todd McGrath. They aided a capable offense which moved the ball well. Gerard Porpora performed the kicking duties well, scoring on three field goals and as many extra points. Coach Giordano was happy that his team pulled it together for the last four games and cited the team's first victory against john F. Kennedy since 1971 as the high point of the season.

These games tested the all- around strength of each girl and how well the team could work together. The season was highlighted by our upset win over undefeated Wood- bridge 42-32, in our last home game, expalined Coach Sunski. The team's offense was led by sen- ior Sue Klein, shooting with over 50% accuracy from the floor and over 70% accuracy from the line. Sophomore Cindy Allman, the youngest varsity member, also had a consistent shoot- ing average. Under the boards, the Bombers found strength in the rebounding ability of Cindy Ritter and Caroline McCurdy, who grabbed an average of 11 per game. Outstanding defensive plays made by the team's offensive hassler Nancy McFeeley were the kinds of things which enabled the girls to cap- ture 3rd place in the MCAC. I think that the way we worked as a team really helped us this year, said Sue Klein. The pressure in our harder games made us work together more, and was the real key to our success.

Starting with a disor- ganized crew of individuals. Coach Ryan set out to mold them into a team. Six days of practice a week seemed to do little for the team, as they fell into a seven game mid-season losing streak. The team's fortunes abruptly turned about with a victory over ).P. Stevens, a team that had beaten them by fifteen points earlier in the season. Coach Ryan described the win as sat- isfying, feeling that the team had finally started to vindicate itself. The team was led throughout the year by junior Anita Ryan, who led the team with total points, and Kim Sabine, who ended the season as the team's most accurate shooter. Col- leen Croszier backed the team's offense by leading in rebounds. Coach Ryan was pleased by the team's performance, despite the lack- luster 5-14 record. She noted that the team had shown the improvement she wanted to see through the year, and she felt confident that this team will show its mettle next year on Var- sity. A lack of experience was the major problem this season, both in the coaching and the players. First-year coach Steve Hefele of Rutgers fame explained, It was a good overall learning experience. I learned how to handle my players, and they learned how to play together. Despite a poor start, the team showed progress in the second half of the season to finish at 7-12. Led by sophomores jim Besso, jim Prusarc- zyk, and Fred Krumbine, the team played smarter, and could handle pressures according to the coach. An injury to Besso midseason hurt the team, but the other players took up the slack. Although the coach termed the season a disappointment, he believes he can give the team more direction in the future, and is sure that this year's team will help the varsity squad next season.

Sayreville rounded out the regular season with a 17-3 record and cap- tured the Middlesex County Athletic Conference title for the first time ever. As always, explained Coach. Dineen, the MCAC was very bal- anced, very strong. Perth Amboy and Colonia were as strong as ever. Ralph Novak proved to be the key to the team, leading in both scoring and rebounding. In addition, during the county tournament, he ended his three-year career as starting varsity center by scoring his 1000th point. The team's other bright spots included play-maker John Tarnacki and the continually improving Tom Callahan. Ricky Carbowski proved a pleasant surprise to Coach Dineen, as this was his first year of varsity ball, junior Dan Ogborne was impressive with his agility and great jumping ability, and juniors Ray Kreiger and Mike Tevis provided depth for the team. An opening victory over Perth Amboy led the team to believe they were in for a successful season, but they had no idea how successful they were to be. Despite a close loss against Perth Amboy in the quarter- final round ending the team's county tournament play, Tom Callahan spoke for his ecstatic team, saying, We're all proud to be a part of the first team to bring the Conference Title to Sayreville.

Individual excellence led to an out- standing season as the team finished with a 12-1 season record. A versatile Frank Devine led the team, excelling in the 440 in addition to sharing the high jump with Tom Brady and Brian Smith, the 60 yard dash with A. J.

Winter Track 129 Forfeits Frustrate Spirited Team The sickening crack of breaking bone ended the wrestling season for Glen Lazo. For Coach Lenny Zaleski, this was one more cruel twist in an already nightmarish season. Already struggling with a small turnout which forced the team to for- feit weight classes in many matches, Lazo's practice injury cost the team more than just his skill and experi- ence. As talented as any team may be, it isn't possible to win consist- ently while forfeiting points in every match. Thus, despite the outstanding seasons of Frank Redding, Mark Mahalick, and Dennis Mascali, the team could only turn in the disap- pointing record of 1-12. Coach Zaleski was frustrated by the outcome of the season, noting that the poor record could not be blamed on the skill of his athletes, but rather on the forfeits. Fie pointed out that, despite his injury, Glen Lazo still attended all meets to support his team, and he claimed that this was only typical of his team.

Handicapped by a poor turnout, the small numbers drew the team together. The camaraderie caused every member of the team to treat every teammate's victory as one of their own, and, despite a losing record overall, the team did have moments to celebrate. Sophomore Keith Kovaleski led the team with a 7- 3 record in the 148-lb. class, and Fab Munoz provided the season's high point with a fourth place in a county novice tournament. With starting spots opened by the need to fill weight classes on the var- sity level, a lot of athletes gained experience they otherwise would have gotten only by watching from the bench. Coach Fischer was most pleased by the experience garnered and by the spirit shown by the squad. Looking at their future, he said that they may have learned a tough lesson about competition, but the hallmark of his team was that they supported each other. At the start of the Colonia meet, Ed Mahalick is ready to acquire the advantage. jV WRESTLING: FRONT ROW: Joe Burzynski, Paul Soto, Willie McKenney, Ed Mahal- ick, Dave During, Keith Kovaleski.

For better or for worse, the impressions you get in your fir§t high school years will stay with you. Perhaps the first things to hit you are the physical changes — the school is now at the bottom of the hill, the lunches are twice as long, and the classes are twice as far apart. The King-of-the-hill ninth graders are now towered over by the behemoths of the senior class, and the swagger is gone from their steps. The change that stays with you is a more personal one. The teachers now treat you as a young adult, rather than a large child. You have to develop a totally different attitude, as you realize that what you're doing now is shaping your future. As you move from the Junior High to the Senior High, you're entrusted with greater responsibilities and free- doms. Given time, you learn that you're growing into maturity just as surely as you grow into size. sophomores 135 in Spinning Their Wheels Toward Success Rollerskating is a part of daily life for sophomore Scott Morton and jun- ior Diana Bozan who have been rollerskating a combined total of over eleven years. They each practice over 20 hours a week. For Diana it takes her every spare moment. She echoes Scott's feelings, stating that the more you put into it, the more you get out of it. Diana and Scott have been in ama- teur competition for over eight years. They have successfully competed with skaters in regionals, junior nationals, and national champion- ships. Scott is currently ranked fourth in the nation in freestyle and figure skating. Diana and her 22-year old partner, Long Islander Eric Leaf, are ranked third in the United States in freedance skating. Scott says that when you win a big competiton, it feels like you've achieved your goals. Rollerskat- ing, says Diana, is exciting. You meet a lot of people from all over the nation. The two have travelled as far as Texas to compete in national championships. Rollerskating requires dedication. Diana and Scott both train in Long Island and make the trip there six days a week. They train under profes- sional coaches in the hope of gaining extra poise and perfection in their performances. Scott and Diana both hope to skate professionally in the future. Their plans are not certain yet, but one thing they are sure of is that they want skating to be a part of their future. Without the pressures of competition, Scott Morton and Diana Bozan take a casual spin around the school. 136 Sophomores Joseph Albany Cynthia Allman Alisa Alster Eric Amerescu David Anderson Dean Anderson Nancy Anderson Aaron Applegate Peter Armetta till Armus Dara Bachman Nancy Baganski Karen Bailey Steven Bair David Balka till Ballo Carolyn Bassett Linda Basso Louise Baszak Gail Batissa Mark Batiialo Yvonne Baumann Lorraine Bender Dina Berardicelli lames Besso Kenneth Beyer Steve Biancamano Robert Blanda Deneen Blaszka Melissa Bobbins Holly Bocson John Boda Linda Bodnar Deby Boehler Deanna Bolger Frank Borawski Christine Boris Randy Borup lames Bourke Thomas Bowes Frank Bracht lulie Brady Kenneth Brady Melissa Brander Chery Breitweiser Deborah Bremer Patricia Brien Bernadette Brower Denise Brown Thomas Brugnoli Susan Bruzauskas Linda Brys Ann Buckler Robert Bunyon Lois Burkshot Sheila Burrell Joseph Burzynski Janice Butkiewicz Robert Butler Susan Byrnes Diane Callahan Alden Camacho Nancy Cannella Tricia Carlesimo Daniel Carlo Ronald Carstens Tony Castronovo Cynthia Cerase Holly Chance Michael Chernow Robert Chiarello Steven Chirico Scott Christensen Diane Chudkowski Dawn Ciavarro Jeanne Cicc arone James Cirko Kate Clarke Michael Coman Vivienne Compta Sophomores 1 7 Dancing Into Tradition One of the requirements of being raised an Unkel, as family tradition has it, is to take dancing lessons for at least fifteen years, says junior Laurie Unkel. Both she and her sister Jamie, a sophomore, started dance lessons when they were three years old, fol- lowing in the footsteps of older sis- ters in the tradition started by Donna Unkel Cunliffe. Jamie and Laurie dance at a studio in Spotswood one hour a week and practice continually at home. Their lessons include tap and modern dance. The two sisters dance together as a team in recitals. Laurie has finished first in many talent shows, including the Sayreville Summer Talent Show. Laurie expresses her feelings about performing on stage as really com- fortable up there, unless I'm perform- ing of course. Recently Laurie was filmed performing at a nightclub, and this tape was shown on cable TV. lamie's stage fright and discomfort are erased once she is in the lights. You think you're going to be afraid, but you're not. Looking towards the future, Laurie takes theatre courses in school to help her develop a distinctive style to her dance, and hopes to dance on Broadway. Jaimie's not sure yet, she says, but you never know. OPPOSITE PACE: Offstage as well as on, |amie and Laurie Unkel have a dancer's flair.

One student in the high school just started school this year — in the United States, that is. Sophomore Yvonne Baumann was born and raised in Cologne, Germany. She is staying in this country with the Howell family, who had previously sponsored Eustorgio Meza, an exchange student from Mexico. Yvonne became interested in the exchange student program by read- ing about it back in Germany. The program was Youth for Understand- ing, run by an organization in Wash- ington, D.C. She had an interview and then was placed in the U.S. in Sayreville. Yvonne compared schools in the U.S. and Germany and concluded, the schools here are a mess. In Ger many we offer advanced courses such as physics and chemistry to ninth grade students. Plus, if tenth graders want to learn a trade, there are apprenticeships available. The changing of classes also strikes Yvonne as unusual. In Germany the1 teachers come to us. We only switch classes for the sciences and gym. Yvonne is currently enrolled in two language courses, and she speaks English, German, and French fluently Life is cheaper here, Yvonne says, adding that almost everything in Germany costs twice as much as the same thing here. She has seen a lot of America. She got her first ideas of America from the westerns she has seen, and now she has seen such real places as Broadway and Seaside Heights which she enjoyed very much. Yvonne likes American music, especially such groups as Boston and Kansas. Yvonne will return to her home country in July, 1980, after her unu sual visit to Sayreville, N.J. It wasn't like the America she had pictured from the wild-west movies, but she does admit it was pretty exciting. Studying French, exchange student Yvonne Baumann perfects her third language. 140 Sophomores Barbara Hrankowski Sharon Hrankowski Sandra Hufford Scott Huguenin Lisa Hughes Janet Hummel Cheryl Izworski Anthony Jaronsky Jill Jarusiewicz David Jarvis Michael Jasion David Jasovsky Joann Jasso Lisa Johnson Doreen Jolly Helena Jones John Jones John Paul Jones Gayle Juliano Jody Kabat Robert Kaelin Peter Kalamaras Lauri Kane Kimberly Kantor Olga Karounos Stacy Karn Thomas Karney Joseph Kearney Theresa Kearney Manny Kier Richard Kelly Jacqueline Kenny Robert Kenny Robert Khan John Kiernan Tracy Kilian Lisa Kirk Patricia Kirk Jeannine Kirsch Sherri Kjersgaard Brett Klaproth Stephen Klapy Kristine Klauder Samuel Klein Ellen Kleinow Jacqueline Knast Bernadette Kobstad Christine Kopek Andrew Kotula Keith Kovaleski Donna Kowalec Elise Kowzan Lisa Kreismer Joseph Krolik Fred Krumbine Susan Kryzkowski Valerie Kubsiak Karen Kuciel Kathleen Kupchak Kim Kurczeski Sophomores 141 “Following in the Footsteps of Legends Mark Kurtz Robert Kwiecinski Charles Labassi Linda 1 aBranche Debra Landsberg lames Larsen William Lasko Kevin Lenahan Bruce Lichenstein Paul Lewandowski Raina Liszka Frank Liszka Wayne Locklin )udy Lockwood Michael Logan Mark Loniewski Lorraine Los Kevin Loughman Janet Lovely David Lowery David Loy Karen Lubin Warren Luther Christa Lytkowski Kathleen McCloud Caroline McCurdy Bill Mr Cutcheon John McGovern Todd McGrath Kathleen McHugh William Me Kenney Glenn Maarleveld Karen Mac kiewicz Daniel Magotti Denise Malik Robyn Mall Theresa Mallia Dave Mallta Michael Mantas Robert Manzi Robert Maretz Dennis Mascali Stephen Masterson Tony Matagrano Richard Mathers Michelle Matt Susan Matthews Vicky Matthews Gary Mazzerella Susan Medford John Medvetz Elizabeth Meier Susan Meise Kim Mervin Melissa Michalik Regina Michalik Mic hele Milano Fdward Minenski John Mininno lames Morgan Cheryl Moran Scott Morton David Moskowitz Kim Mowery 142 Sophomores Looking toward the skies, Theresa Ziobro dreams of unknown adventure. Flying is the best feeling! free! the ultimate! Sophomore Theresa Ziobro began to be interested in flying when she was young. While growing up, her father related stories of legendary fli- ers, such as Greg Pappy Boyington, a fighter pilot stationed with her father in WWII. The thought of fighter pilots taking off across the Pacific on missions unknown cap- tured her imagination. She was espe- cially impressed with the fact that they flew Corsaires, a propellor driven plane, not the technical mar- vels of today. The thought of such skill and bravery made her want to become a pilot. She began ground school in Sep- tember at Marlboro Airport, and will soon be eligible for her solo in a Cessna 150 Skyhawk, a four seat pri- vate plane. She may not have her pilot's license yet, but with her feet on the ground, her imagination soars.

Corrals and stables are familiar scenes for sophomore Karen Bailey and juniors Linda Himey and Cheryl Skutnik. Both Karen and Linda have been horseback-riding since they were about ten years old, while Che- ryl became interested just a few years ago through her friendship with Linda. All three girls have their own horses, which they ride in their free time. Karen can be seen riding Billy, her horse, around the school grounds in the afternoon. The girls also partic- ipate in 4-H competitions and public presentations. Cheryl gives speeches and demonstrations at the Middlesex County Fair grounds to new mem- bers. Linda and Karen have entered competitions on county and state levels, and Karen also entered the National Horse Show held at Madi- son Square Garden. For their riding abilities, the girls have received many ribbons and trophies, including 4-H awards. Linda also spends a great deal of time with her mare, Lady Heather. “During the summer we go to the farm every day, but during the winter we go on weekends and any time during the week we have time, explains Linda. Karen and Cheryl agree that training and caring for their horses take a lot of time, too. The three underclassmen plan to pursue equestrian careers. As for now, the girls all agree that horse- back riding is a fantastic hobby and a great way to spend their free time. Away from the stables, Karen Bailey thinks of warmer days when she can ride her horse again.

Sophomores I4S Qophomore Surprise Very rarely do sophomores achieve a victory over the upperclasses. Despite usual junior and senior dom- inance, the class of 1982 succeeded. Winnie the Pooh was the theme of the 1979 sophomore Homecoming float. The class members prepared their float by working constantly for several weeks. Class officers Celeste Del Gatto, Wayne Locklin, Tricia Car- lesimo, and Jody Kabat directed enthusiastic sophomores to a victory in float competition. Class advisors Miss Bjelka, Miss Kopec, Miss Lam- precht, and Miss Nowicki put much effort into the competition. The highlight of the event was when the sophomore students paraded around the football field as the imaginary cartoon characters of Winnie the Pooh. Sophomores continued to show upperclassmen their enthusiastic approach toward school. Their first major project, the selling of light- bulbs to commemorate their hun- dredth anniversary, was a success. Each sophomore class provides a fresh outlook to the high school and the class of '82 has given new life to the halls of SWMHS. BACK ROW: Miss Kopec, Miss Lamprecht, Miss Bjelka, Miss Nowicki.

It gives him a supreme feeling to watch people's reactions to his clowning. I became interested at the age of six when a magician came to my birthday party. At age eleven I was a professional magician, and at age fourteen I became a clown, Brent says, explaining his start in entertain- ing. Brent learned the art from books, magic shows, and of course, other clowns. He began performing at children's parties and now holds a steady job clowning in Keyport. He also clowns at private parties, banquets and store openings. Brent uses clowning as an outlet for his inner weirdness and he hopes that it will lead a path toward other types of entertaining, such as acting. He has to practice often, and he thinks the most time-consuming thing is learning to create balloon animals, a task which he is glad to say he has mastered. In addition to being a clown and a magician, Brent is a member of the Children's Theatre Workshop spon- sored by Middlesex County College. He and Penny Silletti collaborated upon directing and performing a children's play. Brent is aware of the success of Greg Evigan, and who's to say he's being unrealistic if he dreams of being Sayreville's next thespian celebrity.

Making a Difference Fundraising was a major goal for the junior class. The class of '81 opened the year with the sale of SWMHS t-shirts. Throughout the year, c kes and Easter candies were sold to raise money for the Junior Prom on May 10. The highlight of the year for many students was receiving class rings in October. Juniors were anxious to obtain “81 turns, the final to deter- mine their prom date. Hours of diligent effort led by class officers Judy Kalicki, Joyce Schenker, June Hardbrod, and Judy Kaminski on the 1979 Homecoming float proved to be successful despite prob- lems involved in construction. Class advisors Mr. Corrigan, Mrs. Come- foro, Ms. Ryan, and Mrs. Wasilewski added artistic touches. The float's theme, “Snoopy Scores A Point, reflected the determination of the class of 1981 to achieve their goals of their junior year. The juniors began the first year of the new decade with a refreshing intent to have their middle year of high school make a difference.

It is an exciting, fast moving sport, one that requires coordination, skill, concentration and tenacity, says Richard Becker, who began playing organized ice hockey in 1974. Richard has played for the Garden State Hockey Club in northern NJ, and the prestigious New Jersey Rock- ets. He presently skates left wing for the Essex County Midget A team of the NJ Youth Hockey League, a mem- ber of the Amateur Hockey Associa- tion of the United States. I decided to play up north because the compe- tition is tougher, and truthfully, the quality of ice hockey is better, Rich- ard admitted. Last year Richard led his team in game winning goals and assists, and was high scorer in a game against an All-Star team from Long Island. Among his awards, Richard has won several coveted individual honors including Rookie of the Year, fol- lowed in subsequent seasons with the Most Valuable Forward, Most Valuable Player and last year the newly instituted Playmaker Award. Richard credits part of his success to his parents, saying without them it would be impossible both physically and financially to play ice hockey. I have played games beginning at 5 a.m., and practiced until 11 p.m. My teams play both on the East Coast and in Canada. Parents are the ones who get us there, and make up a very important rooting section. Behind every dedicated hockey player are dedicated parents. Richard intends to play college hockey, but he is not contemplating playing professionally. His most immediate goal is to organize an ice hockey program in the high school, which he has proposed time and again to the Board of Education. One thing hockey has taught him, noth- ing is impossible. 152 Juniors Donna Hanlon lanice Hanvey june Hardbrod Theresa Hart Kathy Hartman Fran Hauber Chuck Heil Marie Hilger Linda Himey Holly Hohsfield Harry Hottiz loe Hughes Karen Hummel Lisa lorillo Lisa lakob Patty Jadwinski Brent Jaffe Nancy jasko Joann Jedrusiak Angela Jones Lynne Jones Joe Kalinowski Paul Kallnischkies Richard Kaluzny Judi Kaminski Donna Kampf Donald Kausch Laura Kawalec Loretta Kearney June Kelley Dan Kelley Lynn Kides Carol Kierst Steve Kieselowsky Patty Kirk Steve Kirk Betsy Klein Mike Kleinow Jill Knast Ted Kobstad Brett Koester Bob Kokich Laura Koledits Sharon Kolmansporgor Dawn Konopka Ziggy Koprowicz Scott Kornblum Steve Kotkin Karen Krall John Kraivoc Steve Krawet Ray Kreiger lames Kuciel Chris Kupsch Linda Labassi Laurie LaBranr he Jackie Lakatos Sean Lany Paul LaPlante Jim Lasko Peter Lattanzio George Lazo Glen Lazo Gerard Lebeda Gordon Leppig Ken Lett i ere Richard Letts Tom Lewandowski Christine Lis Randy Litz Marlene Lombardo Joe Longo Ro!)in Lorenc Judy Loughamn Eric Lowy Virginia Luc adano Phil Lukas Lori Lynch Maureen Lynch Grace Lyon Juniors 155 The Captivating World of Magic Spectacular illusions, slight of hand and disappearing doves are all part of the atmosphere created by junior Marc Toglia's magic. What first intrigued Marc, he now uses to intrigue others. Marc was first exposed to magic at the age of 11 when he participated in a magic show at Eisenhower School. Under the direction of magician Bill Baker, two years later he became a professional performer. He enter- tained at Eisenhower School in a show entitled the Cavalcade of Magic, which he himself produced. Marc describes magic as a hobby that requires continuous practice and dedication. Every minute of his spare time is spent perfecting his routine. Marc specializes in the field of dove magic, and with the assistance of his nine doves he has created a number of original dove and silk routines. This has helped him win several magic contests, including first place in the Seaview Square Grand Open- ing. I feel that a magician's purpose is not so much to fool his audience, but entertain them letting them escape from the problems of reality, if only for a short while. He has used his talent to help those less fortunate than himself. Marc has performed at several charities including a Brain Injured Child (BIC) benefit, and an annual Christmas Show for the senior citizens at the Brookdale Nursing Home. Marc hopes to be performing magic professionally throughout his high school years and also during college to help put him through medical school. With the finesse of a magician, Marc Toglia opens up the world of magic for his audience.

Regardless of the answers, the message is the same. Junior year is very different from any other. The future is so close you can see it, with thoughts of S.A.T.'s and possi- ble vocations on a junior's mind. Yet it seems very far away, with a whole year between you and graduation. For all seniors who have lived through it, and for sophomores who anticipate it, junior year is a step toward maturity. The Class of '81.

You probably won't immediately think of the ramifica- tions of the New Deal, or the bino- mial theorem, nor will you remember your locker combination nor the room numbers of the A-hall. Most likely the things that will stay will be the congestion in the parking lot, and how many times you nearly lost your front end trying to be the first one out. Maybe the new free- doms; remember the feeling of leav- ing school at 12 O'clock to drive yourself to work, or of being able to sign yourself in in the morning, thus finally being able to take responsibil- ity for yourself. Perhaps it will be the sense of pride; how good it felt being envied by the underclassmen just because you were a senior, and how you knew that that was right. It could be the little privileges that you recall; how important you felt to get out of class to be measured for cap and gown, and how easy it got at the end of the year when you and your teach- ers both realized that you were going to graduate, and whatever you didn't learn by now was not going to seri- ously affect your future. There's a lot of memories that go into your senior year, but all that you're definitely going to come out of it with is a little piece of paper with the school's name on it. Some- how, that's enough.

Valedictorian Lori Rosenkopf and Salutatorian Lynne Kowzan, coping with the exact same schedules, had to face each other the last half of the year with the knowledge that less than two-one hundredths of a point separated their offices. Despite that, both were pleased with their ranks and were proud to be able to speak for their class at Graduation. So, by way of introduction to the Senior Section of Quo Vadis 1980, you are presented with the scholastic pride of the class of '80, its advisors, and its elected officers.

R-O-W-D-l-E that's the way we spell Rowdie! Rowdie! Let's get Row- die! That was the cheer that echoed the loudest throughout the football stadium on November 2nd. The event was the 4th annual spirit con- test in which sophomores, juniors and seniors competed against each other. This is a big part of the pep rally held before each Homecoming game. Seniors of '80, like seniors before them, proved that school spirit moved them as they captured first place. Some of the day's other activi- ties were a pie eating contest, tug of war and three-legged race. The vari- ous sports teams represented their classes in the contests, though these athletic events were not exactly according to Hoyle. The girls' field hockey team had to pass a frozen orange to each other from under their necks. The football team had to run a cold spoon through their clothes. This resulted in tying together half the team. The seniors were challenged for the Spirit title by the efforts of the enthusiastic junior and sophomore classes. Yet, no matter how diligently the underclassmen tried, the seniors still ranked supreme. KEN ADAMS: 28 Second St., Sayre. AUDREY ALLMAN: 28-17 Skytop Cardens, Parlin.

Should the half-day option for sen- iors stay in effect? The majority of seniors believe that it should. Many feel that it gives the students extra time, which has proven valuable, to work many addi- tional hours on the job. This aids in saving for college or cars, without sacrificing time for study. This group also believed that 12:09 dismissal did not interfere with participation in extracurricular activities, believing that if people are dedicated to their sport or club, they'll find a way to come back at 2:30. Contrarily, a small percentage of the graduating class wanted to see a return to the full day program, now that it will no longer affect them. Cit- ing the fact that extra classes provide greater learning opportunities, they felt that staying until 2:30 would cause school to become more a way of life for seniors than just some- where to stop by before work. Though opinion was divided, all the students involved agreed that they enjoyed the five-period option, because it is a privilege which pro- vides everyone with added free time, whether for work, study, or socializ- ing.

The main purpose of the week long seminars was to instruct the youth of the state in the functions of the gov- ernment. Each delegate was urged to participate and run for offices availa- ble for his or her city, county, and state. Campaigning, voting and inauguration ceremonies were expe- rienced by all. The four delegates to Boys' State, Scott Kominkiewicz, A. Jay Sabine, John Tarnacki and Brian Teeter were chosen by the faculty because of their demonstrated scholarship, lead- ership, and patriotism. In addition to the faculty endorsement, the Girls' State delegates, Angela Batissa and Sandy Check, were interviewed by representatives of the Sayreville American Legion Auxiliary Post. Experiences at Boys' and Girls' State will not soon be forgotten by the six delegates. Although the atmosphere of Boys' State was very military, the boys had fun and met many Pew people from all over the State. The Girls' State delegates found their experiences rewarding and were sorry to leave the new friends they made. Nevertheless, all found the Boys' and Girls' State week enlightening, giving them insight into the workings of government.

Seniors 167 Are You Going to Make Your Voice Heard? For the first time, the majority of the class of 1980 will be able to vote in the upcoming presidential elec- tion. Having the power to vote, how- ever, does not mean that these future leaders of the world will let their voices be heard in November. A variety of reasons will bring a majority of the graduating class to the polls on election day. Unfortu- nately, many of these students will be voting only because they see no rea- son not to. Some, however, have more concrete reasons as to why they will cast ballots next November 4th. A few seniors feel that voting is not only a privilege and a right, but it is the only way that they can let the government know their feelings and opinions. Still other students, through personal experience, know what a difference only a handful of votes can make. Through their ener- getic work in previous local elec- tions, these seniors have found that their voices can make a difference. A minority of the graduating class says that they will not vote in next November's election. The prevalent reason for their absence from the polls is ignorance of public issues. They do not believe that their one vote can make a difference. Some are just too lazy to get out and go to the polls. Still, most seniors say that they will vote for our next president in November. Actions, however, and not words, are going to count in the election. Only time will tell whether the generation which will supply the energy for the future will put their words into action and put their power to work.

However, dating today isn't as cut and dried as it used to be. High school students are begin- ning to feel more and more the finan- cial crunch. Considering that the cost to get into the average movie ranges between 99c and $4.00, and the cost of two games of bowling is about $3.00, and those old enough to go to a disco spend at least $5.00 to get in, amusement parks can go to $13.00, and horseback riding is about $7.00, it's now a lot harder to finance the date than to ask for it. Remember, none of these even take into account the high cost of gas and the often criminal cost of food. Even with people feeling freer to split the costs, couples generally have it harder since they want to be together as often as possible, which is why so many students consider it so important to get jobs. This doesn't always solve the problem, either, when you realize that minimum wage is only $2.90, before all the taxes have been taken out. Still, what use is the little money you earn when you have to work when you should be dating? Inflation is not a friend of dating, and our generation is rediscovering the joys of walks through the parks, nights at home together, and parking the car instead of driving all night.

To Pat Grau, music is a large and beautiful part of her life. Pat has sung for people as far back as she can remember. Performing in front of audiences in musicals such as “Company, “Marne, and “Funny Girl, has given Pat more theatrical experience than most people her age. Though her age is sometimes a bar- rier to her for some parts, Pat has overcome this and proven her sing- ing and acting ability time and again. Pat has been taking voice lessons from Mrs. Hellwig and she feels that, with her new knowledge, she can now appreciate a higher quality of music. Pat was a member of the 1979 All-State Chorus which gave a com- mand performance in Atlantic City. Their singing had such a profound effect on the audience and the cho- rus members, that before they had completed the finale, all were in tears. Sayreville High may have a rising star in its midst in the form of the classic voice of Pat Crau.

Both Rob and Lori achieved semi- finalist status in the contest. The test, taken by most college-bound juniors throughout the country, is given in the form of the Preliminary Scholastic Aptitude Test and measures the stu- dent's mathematical and verbal skills. To qualify as a semi-finalist, a stu- dent's score must rank among the top one percent in the nation. In all, ten received some recognition for their high scores in the NMSQT. Besides semi-finalists Rob and Lori, eight other students received letters of commendation. They were Nancy Bayus, Gerri DelGatto, Mike Hender- son, Lynne Kowzan, Dave Medford, Linda Rogers, John Wisniewski, and Vic Wolski, who gained the highest individual math score. Mr. Newcomer, the college coun- selor, commented that the number of commended students is much higher than that of recent years, and that it is especially gratifying to have two semi-finalists in view of the fact that there were none from our school last year, and only one the year before.

Seniors 175 Save the Cetaceans! Save the What? Save the Whales? Why would any- one want to save the whales? This was a question brought to the minds of many people when Steve Medlin introduced the production of Save the Whales in concert. When asked his motive for doing the concert, Steve's reply was, In the future I would like to become a con- cert promoter and I wanted to do one for a good cause. The concert would raise money for 'Save the Whales' and give me the opportunity to pro- mote a concert. The concert was held on October 6, 1979 and 300 whale supporters gathered in the High School auditorium to hear music performed by two very popu- lar bands, Atlantic City Expressway and Whisper. Although the night was a success, the Master of Ceremonies, Mike Jar- mis of WCTC, was less so as he was booed off the stage by the audience. If not for the support of Alan J. Karc her, Ditmas Caterers of Brooklyn, Doo-Bone Inc., Greenfield's of Sayre- ville, and Platter Puss Records, this benefit would not have been possi- ble. For publicity, T-shirts, buttons, and signs were designed, which contrib- uted to the attendance outcome. Ste- ve's work in prompting the concert seemed to be a step in the right direction for starting his career. The profit brought music to Steve's ears. After all expenses had been cleared, a charitable $200,000 was happily donated to Save the Whales Incor- porated in Los Angeles, California.

As always, this year they are burning up a lot of energy! The Seniors who are supposed to have it easy in their last year seem not to be having it that way. They are always on the move, starting from the time they rush out of bed to make the 8:00 bell, which some actually do. At 8:14 they tear out of homeroom to first period, the first of five frantic class changes, culminating in the last great flood of the 12:09 dismissal. Where to now? Go home? To a job? Get ready for sports practice? Club Meeting? Going out tonight? Home- work? Watch some T.V.? Go to bed late? When they finally get to sleep, the dreams in their heads are about the day that has passed them by quickly, and of the even busier day yet to come. Are you a person that is always going somewhere to do something? If you're not sure where the time goes, stop and think ... If you can find time! jBxlcui D otuzfi CAxUtine. 3 ouja£cfiL(z !2 £ zci£ c f-. U(owa£suri C Jlynns. U owzan Lpa£xicLa Cfixiitinz Ufaieg x Kxyzhowiki.

Whether vandals use boredom as their justification, or are only satisfy- ing their destructive urges, their actions exhibit a total disregard for property and result in tax retribu- tions. As custodian Mr. Tony Lopez put it, They don't realize that their parents pay for the damage. Though it is a serious problem, there has been no detectable increase in vandalism in this school in recent years. In fact, our damage has been less than that of most other schools. Mr. Dill credits the desig- nated smoking areas as a factor in keeping down the amount of vandal- ism. Students don't gather in the lava- tories, he explained, and won't be there to cause damage. The vice- principal did cite several costly cases of recent vandalism, including the razing of the stadium's press box, the destruction of trees, and damage to lavatory toilets and plumbing. Most damage is inflicted by intruders entering the school at night when it is used by other organizations, Mr. Dill added. Breakage of windows and defacing via graffiti has also been a major problem. As one student put it, Van- dals can't fit into society, and try to change it in a violent fashion. They are a problem which society must deal with, and find a tolerance for. • BOVE RIGHT: Diane Smierzynski shows sat- isfaction with her history test grade. IAN LANDSBERG: 9 Paprota Ct., Parlin.

Have you ever wondered if there was anyone in school that was born on the same day as you? According to Dr. Marotta this curiosity is well based because statistics show that out of a group of 30 people there is a probability of at least two persons having the same birthday. A study of the senior class has shown that these statistics are not so far-fetched. The results reveal that on five separate days of the year, five people have the same birthday. A group of 12 people share 3 separate dates evenly, while 30 people share 10 days commonly. Out of 365 days, it is estimated that on 50 of these days, 2 people will have the same birth date. Although many students share the same birthday, each can still feel spe- cial because to our parents and fami- lies we are still unique.

One shudders to think how difficult life would be without this welcome distraction. Attending rock concerts has become almost a religious ritual for many rock music fans, especially stu- dents who make them short vaca- tions. Walking through the halls, one can't help but notice the many con- cert shirts bearing names of groups of various styles. The Rolling Stones, The Who, and Neil Young are some of the more popular artists. Country groups such as The Outlaws, and heavy metal groups like Led Zeppelin are also well liked. Representation of the punk rock style are groups such as The Clash and The Ramones, and new wavers such as Elvis Costello and The Cars. The many different kinds of sounds in rock 'n roll today make life easier for students. With many groups to choose from, each student can find a style which suits him. After all, isn't that what music is about? !2 ac7u - TleAfoul ve ■zSanAy Jloxi JT eTiT £cLivaxcL AHeUe Jlaxxy cf on MeTLxeAex CPcluL Mexi l STieTTe Me ex SL onna d !

Some seniors hurry there not to eat, but to make a living. McDonald's hires people from the area to work in the kitchens and behind the counter. When this year's seniors were jun- iors, they ate in the cafeteria and all they had to worry about was the taste of the food and the sameness of the menu. Now, they have to worry about the price, too. Some seniors find Micky D's prices too high, and either eat in school or go home for an in-house meal. Lunchtime has really advanced since the days when every- one just went home for lunch! dl luCbx dfiuck dVafus. JlinAa tzNaqie.

Some seniors in the high school pass up this opportunity, and work. Their reasons are as varied as their jobs. Most of the Seniors with jobs work to have money for their recreation. For some, this means money for gas in their cars, admissions to movies, or to finance skiing or camping trips. Others use it to pay for clothes, records, or various diversions. Some use their earnings to cushion their futures, as money for future trips, large purchases, and, most of all, col- lege tuition. Most people picture teenage employment as working in Burger King or McDonald's, but there are students who run their own busi- nesses in such things as photography or promotion. Some students are try- ing to break into show business by running their own bands, and others have made the first step into civil service by working for surveyors or as census takers. Far from being just a way of making some quick money, some seniors are using their jobs to lay the groundwork for a future career. Seniors in high school comprise a small, underestimated, and unappre- ciated part of the work force. Whether they take their jobs seri- ously or not, one thing must be kept in mind; today's minimum wager is going to be tomorrow's executive staff. Pumping gas is a popular means of employment for seniors such as Jim Koller. GWEN PEDERSEN: 63 Such St., Parlin LAURA PENNINGTON: 153 Marsh Ave., Parlin.

Although the 1980 class was cheated in overall numbers, it wasn't left short of twins. The 448 seniors have nine sets of twins in their midst. Ray and William Lockwood, who are fraternal twins, along with Dave and George Karlow- itz, Patti and Paula Rojewski and Maria and Mike Vaccaro make up more than half of the twins in the senior class. Identical twins Chris and Sal Benti- venga, Anthony and Louis Dahl, Ed and Larry Meise, Jim and Bob Rol- zhausen, and Debbie and Denise Scala make up the other half. With twins occurring once in every ninety- six births, Sayreville has nearly dou- ble its share. Although the twins are somewhat easily identifiable by their fellow sen- iors, the rest of the students may think they're hallucinating at times.

For as long as Chuck Jankech can remember he has wanted to pursue a career in law enforcement. I really wasn't very interested in just being a municipal officer. Primarily my aim was to be a state trooper, Chuck commented. There is a definite dif- ference between the two. According to Chuck, the process is much easier to become a local officer than a state trooper. The main difference is that a local officer remains under the juris- diction of the municipality, while the state trooper remains under that of the state. In preparation for his future, Chuck attended the N.J. State Police Trooper Week last summer and enjoyed it both physically and aca- demically. After graduation, he will attend a college for two years and earn an Associate's Degree for Law Enforcement. He will then enter the Police Academy. Now that Chuck is working towards his pilot's license he hopes to someday become a pilot for 3 State Police.

In our junior year, most of us took the infamous SAT. Therefore, along with the normal grind of schoolwork, we had to worry about passing a test we were told we shouldn't study for. All for what? To get into the best pos- sible college after graduation. Along with the college boards, to make our lives even more difficult, we were told we had to take college prep courses. So in our senior year we endeavored to pass such classes as calculus, physics, history, and Eng- lish. During our senior year we also began the wonderful task of applying to the colleges of our choice. Should it be public or private, two-year or four-year, large or small? The deci- sion was our own, and it was a diffi- cult one. After this process of elimi- nation, when we decided on the three or four which suited us best, we proceeded to tell our life histories on applications. Then to top it all off, we had to wait two or three months for the colleges to decide if we were acceptable. In the end, we hopefully got accepted and hopefully the decision of which college to go to was simple; but it wasn't. The good part about it is, however, after that decision is made, our lives are pretty much map- ped out for the next two to four years. Our future is set, and hopefully we all made the wisest choice.

Brendan T. Byrne. The bill's design- ers, Frank Graves and Martin Her- man, hoped that it would lessen the incidence of teenage alcoholism and drunk driving. Provisions of the bill included stiff penalities for minors who drank or attempted to buy alco- hol, and considerable punishment for adults who bought liquor for minors. Seniors in the school registered shock and disappointment over the bill. They questioned the practicality of the bill, and voiced anger over the fact that they would now have to wait another year to go into adult places of recreation, such as bars and nightclubs. Other seniors brought up the point that they would no longer be able to work in places where liquor is served. One senior com- plained that, ... this ruins my plans to work this summer. I had a bartend- ing job all lined up this summer, but now that they passed the law I'll have to find another job — and probably won't make as much money as I would have. Faculty in the school generally sup- ported the bill, however, as many were concerned by the effects of alcohol on schoolwork. One teacher commented ... we've all heard of students coming in drunk, and now that there's a law to enforce perhaps we'll be able to stop this. Others supported the bill on grounds of safety. Teenagers drink and drive as often as anyone else, and they are just as likely to crash. One teacher commented that despite all the controversy, raising the age is the safest thing to do. This point was driven home dramatically this year when a van crashed into a telephone pole right in front of the high school, killing its young passengers, and proving that young people are no less mortal than anyone else. The controversy over the bill can be simplified as a conflict between privileges and safety, and whatever the outcome of the debate, the fact remains that 19 is the law.

Will Kl PROSKI I LI) i U EXTENT 01 tIII l w Live, From New York it It's about 11:30 on a Saturday night and you're out cruising the exciting town of Sayreville, so what do you do? find a party that's probably already broken up, or maybe hit McDonald's for the sixth time that night? Heck no! You park yourself in front of the nearest TV and turn on channel 4, what else? It's time for one of the best and most watched shows on the tube — Saturday Night Live. What makes this show so popular? Well, there's the Not Ready For Prime Time Players , including the likes of Dan Ackroyd, Jane Curtin, Garrett Morris, Gilda Radner, and, of course, John 1941 Belushi. There's also a new host every week, as well as some decent musical attractions, such as the Rolling Stones, Chicago, and Bob Dylan, who have all per- formed on the show. But certainly, the biggest attraction of SNL is at the same time the smallest — he's only four inches tall — ooooo nooooo — it's none other than Mr. Bill! This high-pitched hunk of Play-Doh finds himself in a new situation every week where he is decapitated, dis- membered, mutilated, flattened, stabbed, scrunched, or otherwise abused by the end of his adventure — only to return the next week in one piece ready to face Mr. Sluggo again. It's good, healthy violence, but so what — whoever hurt a piece ot clay? So, kiddies, be sure to go out and get your Mr. Bill T-shirt — he'll appreciate your support. £arulxa c f.

In Remembrance Joseph Miranda September 1,1962 — June 16,1978 Seniors 199 A World Full of Turmoil, Trouble ... and Hope Maybe now that we're looking back on 1980 we can find the time to take a breath. For the year whose major fear was running out of energy, it certainly had plenty of its own. Hectic may be the word that best describes the year. Every major event that America faced in its 204th year had its reflection in Sayreville. The fall brought a heated mayoral race which foreshadowed the bitter presi- dential race, and later, students upset over the cancellation of the senior class trip protested in what may have been a preview of future draft resist- ance. This year the soccer, track, and basketball teams all made tourna- ments, while the running of the Olympic Flame and the Cold-medal exploits of Eric Heiden showed us that there were still goals to attain. On a darker side, students who had to travel Ernston Road found the going slow as gas-hungry motorists jammed the road waiting for BP to open to save a few cents, and Amer- ica was brought up against its great- est challenges as the twin spectres of the Ayatollah Khomeini and the Rus- sian invasion of Afghanistan reminded us that even the brightest future needs to be cared for. Whether or not there were to be nuclear power plants, Olympics at Moscow, or a Democrat in the White House, or even a half a day for sen- iors, divided us in our opinions, but through all the squabbles and the troubles, despite the deprivation and the inflation, one fact remained: 1980 was an interesting year to be set off into the world. Starting their careers early, Debbie Jackubow- ski and Abida Khan wait for the bus to work. With glee, Mrs. Newton waves good-bye to the school year. Even after being called stupid, Betsy Klein and )udy Kalicki still share their friendship. 200 Closing The hazards of saying, Anyone want a ride home? too loudly. Senioritis, a common ailment among the graduating class, strikes Bob Butchko, Dawn Zol- linger, and Vic Wolski. Paul McCormack steadies his hand, knowing that one false move will spoil his sculpture. Closing 201 When the rush to graduation is over, there will be very little left besides memories. A diploma, a tas- sel to hang in your car, a program to put away and never open again, and a yearbook with not nearly enough pictures of yourself. You'll lose the joy you felt on the last day, and you'll be left with the emptiness that came the day after. Your close friends will grow farther apart. Their faces will become less and less familiar, like ghosts in the winter sky. The cheers of your high school years will no longer ring in your ears, and if you ever come back you'll not be able to find your way through the halls without help. Still, no matter how thick-skinned you grow, every time you pass down Washington Road your voice may catch a little bit, and you may become a little distant for a while. Whoever you are riding with will nod to themselves, and be silent, respect- ing your time to reflect on those times gone by. Always expect the unexpected from Tom Grzymski. Looking on anxiously, Jerry Lebeda awaits the approving of his article. ABOVE: Vic Wolski teaches Rich Platkin the fine points of layouts.
