The energy, the faith, the devotion which we bring to this endeavor will light our country and all who serve it, and the glow from that fire can truly light the world. John F. Kennedy In the beginning, there was light. It shone upon the earth much like it does today, unchanged and unconquerable. It summons us to rise each morning, providing us with the vitality to endure the daily grind of school work. It guides us along on our morning routines, and, in a mechanical form, directs us safely to and from school. Light carries us through the halls to our respective fields of study, and invites us outdoors for enjoyment during our lunch periods. It lets us view friends, teachers, and whatever catches our eye during uninteresting lessons. When the light of day fades, we head home on illuminated roadways, and receive a warm welcome from a glow- ing porch light. Upon first entering our houses, most of us open the refrigerator door, and that little lightbulb turns on. Does that light stay on when you close the door? BELOW: As the afternoon fades into twilight, discussions of school turn to the all-important plans for the weekend. Introduction 3 Light Breeds Color Of all life’s simple pleasures, the most beautiful are those we perceive in color. The brilliant yellow of the number two pencil, the vivid green of the football field, and the infinite sea of blue jeans all combine to brighten the outlook of the SWMHS student. Four differant personalities converge like colors in a spectrum. Student Council officers pool their efforts to provide a successful sales campaign. ABOVE: Colors mean different things to different people. For these William Tell fans, each color has a designated point value. LEFT: The rays of sunlight streaming through the windows provide the idyllic condition for tracing. 4 Introduction I While we don’t usually think about color, its mere presence can affect us all. We rejoice at the glistening white of a 7:00 AM snowstorm and sigh over the bold red F on the test we forgot to study for. Our spirits fall with the ap- proach of deep grey clouds, and can only be lifted by the bright rainbow colors of that acclaimed plain and peanut candy, the M M. So there it is, a color for every oc- casion, every mood, and every per- son. From blue and grey to red, white and blue, colors set the stage for everything we see, everything we do, and everything we feel. Reasoning that color plays a great role in our lives, Michael Stewart summed up its vitality as follows, “And should this sunlit world grow dark one day — the colors of my life will leave a shining light to show the way.” ABOVE: The fruit is orange, the jacket blue and the T-shirt vivid yellow. If these colors on J. P. Jones don't look right to you — see your eye doctor. BELOW: White light, the source of all color is shed in a flare of sparks produced by Bob Worden's metal shop project.

Freedom to enjoy free time during a lunch period is a right that is treasured by all students. 6 Introduction New Perspe What do you mean, “What’s so great about our school?” For one thing, not every school offers an op- tional half-day program for seniors, something which each student an- ticipates during their underclass years. That’s about it. In all seriousness, SWMHS is not the horrible place some individuals make it out to be. Candy sales, assembly pro- grams, and extracurricular activities to suit everyone’s taste combine to enhance each student’s routine. On a more diverse level, the Sayreville educational system offers excellent opportunities for students and community members as well. Adult courses and programs such as Gifted and Talented and Brain Bowl testify to the expansion of the school’s offerings. Original in-class presenta- tions add some fun to otherwise tedious classes as well as aiding in the learning process. Career-oriented courses such as Beauty Culture and Computer Science utilize specific skills in preparing students for their futures. Thus, those quick to criticize should consider the words of Victor Hugo: “Above the cloud with its shadow is the star with its light.” Shouldn’t we search for those stars? A rebirth in Bomber team pride is exemplified by the painting of a spirit banner. Physical improvements on the school’s exterior include the addition of a handicap ramp which is being used by Kate Briody, one of the walking wounded.

BELOW RIGHT: A creative mind, various beads, and colored strings help Sandy Unkel turn the traditional macrame knots into a beautiful wall hanging. While the typical SWMHS student greets each school day with tired eyes and a less than optimistic face, there is a select group whose members ar- rive at class with bright eyes and en- thusiastic smiles. These are the artists, not only the painters and sculptors, but also the talented vocalists, dancers, actors, musicians, writers, and skilled craftsmen who dedicate themselves to furthering their abilities in their chosen fields. It is to these individuals that Emer- son referred when he wrote, “As all men have some art or power of com- munication in their heads, but only in the artist does it descend into the hands.” Hence, to the band member, the woodworker and the creative writer, school is not the most dreadful six and a half hours of the day, but an institution which offers them the op- portunity to express themselves in a unique, individualistic manner. Looking toward the future, such courses that allow students to learn through the creative process, may shed a new light on education, giving them a more prestigious position in to- day’s learning experience. Introduction 9 TECHNOLOGY- Science Of Life Modern lab sciences help to enhance the college bound students view of future higher education. The bunsen burner helps these students to see the light . Minnie Louise Haskins best ex- pressed man’s desire to learn and create when she wrote, “Give me light that I may tread safely into the unknown.” It is man’s quest to learn and apply his knowledge that brings to SWMHS such standard items as the bunsen burner and contact lens, and every student’s favorite academic pastime, the computerized testing programs. From the cars and buses which carry us to and from the building, to the erasable ink pen which saves many in-class essays from near disaster, technology touches the daily lives of each and every one of us. Ex- amples of man’s technological achievements are found everywhere we look in school, and while it is not commonly thought about, their achievements affect us more than any compilation of facts presented in a Physics or Chemistry class. So praise the loudspeaker, the locker, the pay telephones and the soda machine. They may not always operate correctly, but they are always there to remind us that technology is the science that governs the quality of modern life. Typing is a useful skill today and more and more people are taking the course. Karen Kuciel reads the copy while trying to increase her typing speed. 10 Introduction Metal working is a trade to be mastered. Ed Baszak is using the lathe to finish his project. Except when repairs are needed, a senior's best friend is his car. Larry Lazo makes some final adjustments on his Volkswagon. A technological advance notable in SWMHS is the popularity of light-refracting contact lenses. The task of inserting his contacts is a part of Brett Klaproth’s homeroom routine. Computers are pointing toward the future and this one is all for Sayreville War Memorial High School. Introduction 11 A Time To Deflect It was none other than Theognis who said, “Bright youth passes swiftly as a thought.” Chances are, Theognis never attended high school, so he pro- bably never realized how well his statement applies to the experience. Nevertheless, the thought fits ideally, as what we thought would be a lifetime in SWMHS seems to have passed faster than we could sound out Sayreville War Memorial High School. It seems only yesterday that we stumbled through the halls in our first attempts at locating the correct classrooms, and endured unending confusion over where we were headed with our classmates as well as our futures. Now, however, the prospects of college and careers loom over us though they were arriving tomorrow. Fortunately, high school has guided us along an intricate path into the future, opening new doors each mile, and ultimately leading to a promising light at the end of a long and winding tunnel.

Introduction 13 A dUPERintendent In their final year of working together, Mr. Counsman and Dr. Parneil combine their efforts to improve the school system. After thirty-six years in our school system, Mr. Counsman contemplates his past achievements and looks forward to a relaxing future. 14 Introduction The pleasure showing on Mr. Counsman's face is inspired by his daughter's graduation as well as the help he is receiving from NHS member. Denise Malik. 36 Years Of Dedication An appraisal of anyone’s job is dependent on the quality of his service in that job, and no appraisal of SWMHS would be complete without the inclu- sion of Mr. Henry Counsman. Throughout his years as teacher, prin- cipal, and superintendent, he has given to the community high standards of wisdom as well as service. Since 1945, Mr. Counsman has been involved in the Sayreville school system, and at the end of the 1981- 82 school year, he will retire. He began his career in Wilson School, which was the original high school. He contributed to the school as assistant football coach, head coach, and direc- tor of athletics. He has fond memories of that school and particularly savors the memory of Sayreville beating its arch rival South River at football. Two years after the construction of SWMHS, Mr. Counsman became its principal. He really enjoyed this posi- tion because it gave him the op- portunity to get to know the students on a more personal level. He felt this level of interaction was lost when he became superintendent of Sayreville schools; however, he feels partial compensation for such a loss came from developing good relationships with students, teachers, and com- munity members in his visits to the many schools throughout this district. Since Mr. Counsman became superintendent, he and the entire district have had much to take pride in. Students have been scoring well on all state tests and college boards, and a large majority of seniors are accepted at “good” colleges. Mr. Counsman credits this success to the fact that Sayreville has stressed the basics in education — reading, writing, and arithmetic. Unfortunately, Mr. Counsman, as a representative of Sayreville, was unable to promote the referendum of 1979 for the upgrading of the high school library and track facilities. This was a disappointment because he felt these additions would have been beneficial to the students. The most important change Mr. Counsman has noted is a shift in students’ attitudes toward education. Mr. Counsman feels they aren’t willing to try to learn more than what’s re- quired to obtain a particular grade. Euripides said, “Whoso neglects learning in his youtb, loses the past and is dead in the future.” Mr. Counsman agrees and offers advice on how to achieve success: “Believe in yourself.” Throughout his thirty-six years as an educator, Mr. Henry Counsman has always given his best to our school system. In light of this we dedicate this, our yearbook, to him for his many achievements and thank him for his work in the community. Introduction 15 Changes, Challenges and Goals BIGHT: A! her last NHS induction ceremony as SWMHS principal, Dr. Parnell and Miss Sowa discuss memories of past honor students. When Dr. Marie Parnell left SWMHS last year, the high school lost a special person. However, the entire communi- ty was fortunate in gaining her as assistant superintendent. Instead of devoting all of her time to the high school, Dr. Parnell is now able to familiarize herself with the aspects of all the schools in the community. Cur- rently, she is focusing on the cur- riculum in order to create a thorough and efficient program for all students. She is also involved in revitalizing the community newsletter and revising the elementary school report card. Although Dr. Parnell is enjoying the challenge of being assistant superintendent, she readily admits that she misses the students at the high school. Over the years she has noticed a change in the way students react to school. She feels that today’s student doesn’t put school above all else. Instead they see it as a functional base for later life. She doesn’t feel that this new attitude has in any way hindered the students’ performance. However, students have to meet this change, and she offers advice on how to do so, “Set goals, even for unrealistic dreams and don’t limit yourself.” Meeting challenges has been a big part of Dr. Parnell’s life as she moved from teacher to principal to assistant superintendent. Dag Hammerskjold stated, “Never measure the height of a mountain until you climb it, because only then you will see how low it is.” Dr. Marie Parnell is one person whose career truly typifies this idea. With I stnsi of grtit satisfaction, Dr. Parnell reflects upon her long career at SWMHS. 16 Introduction Spring 17 SPRING 1981 As they reach the bell lap Darrin Russo, Walt Tomkowski and Steve Biancamano begin their kick in hopes of overtaking the lead from their JFK competitor. High hurdling is one of the more difficult of the track events. Marybeth Jones' natural ability makes it easier. Lightning Struck Twice Bringing home a trophy every Saturday is no common occurrence for an ordinary team, but for the Spring Track Team, this phenomena is commonplace. Without break- ing stride, the trackmen achieved their second undefeated season in a row with an overall record of 11 and 0. Among this season’s more memorable highlights was winning the County Champion- ships. Individual performances dominated the win which was aided by Mike Wasko, taking first in the 100 meter dash. Tom Brady, win- ner of the 110 HH and Joe Longo and Gene Smith who participated in the champion 1600 meter Relay team. In addition to their Relay honors, Longo finished second in the 400 meter run and Smith completed the 800 meter race with second place. Coach Bill Doll attributes the team’s 21 straight victories to an outstanding corp of veteran runners. Joe Longo, Gene Smith and Tom Brady anchored the squad while John Kiernan, Steve Biancanano, Mike Reagan, Joe Seminaro and Charlie Nieves added the stability that made the team a consistent win- ner. Although Coach Doll described this year’s group as the best in school history, he is looking forward to many successful seasons to come. Underclassmen Walter Tomkowski, Tom Reagan, Ed Mahalik and Paul De’Arpa along with Ralph Howardson are expected to carry the Bomber trackmen for the next few years. BELOW: An Olympian effort is displayed by Doug Ryan in this classic Olympian sport. Winning seasons and broken records in most every event have become the im- pressive trademarks of the Girl’s Spring Track Team. Each of the girls put forth great effort and proudly ended their 11-0 season with a victory at the Middlesex County Athletic Conferences. The team also attained the titles of Middlesex County Champs, Cen- tral Jersey Group IV Champs and Co- champions with Madison Central in the MCAC relays. Along with the team which functioned skillfully as whole, several members achieved individual honors. Julie Brady and Lisa Mitrosky made first team All Conference, and also did well in the state and county sec- tionals. Mastering technique in the field events were Cheryl Neilson and Cindy Allman, both of whom hold school records in the shotput and javelin. Ms. Mauer, who has coached the team successfully for several years, boasted, “Super! Total team effort! Great individual performances when it counted! I’m proud of each team member for her contributions to the team’s effort.” 18 Boy's Girl’s Track SWMHS Sayreville W.M.H.S.

With spirit intact, the players finished with a 9-15 record. The team was led by veterans Greg Dusko, who played 3rd singles, Frank Sollecito, who played 2nd singles, and Dave DeFillipis, who played 1st singles.

These teams included Edison (4-1), Carteret (5-0), J. F. K. (5-0), and Madison Central (5- 0). These victories, combined with skilled returning players, led Coach Gilfillan to affirm, “Despite our losses this past year, I feel that the experience we gained will help us to im- prove next season. Despita trilling his opponant. Rex Jarvis maintains the stamina needed to execute a perfect serve. 20 Boys’ Tennis Defensive Driving It isn’t often that one sees a driver without a license, unless of course one is a member of the Sayreville golf team. The driver is one of the integral tools which led the golf team to finish its season with a 7-13 record. Despite a lack of seniors, solid underclass effort drove the players to improve last year’s overall average of 254 by six strokes. Coach Helwig commented that the team worked hard all season to reach their present 248 average. On an individual level, Ivan Ferro suc- cessfully ended the season with a 48.1 average. Others who contributed their talents were Mark Newcomer, with a 48.2 average, Randy Borup, with a 48.6 average, and Tom Haltli, with a 51.4 average. With strong determination and added ex- perience, the golf team displayed promising abilities that will be seen next season.

This proved to be a suc- cessful recipe for a winning Varsity baseball season. Led by a corps of seasoned veterans, the 1980-81 squad compiled an impressive 19- 8 record, which included a trip to the Finals of the County Tournament. There the Bombers lost a hard fought match, to season rivals Edison, by a score of 3-2. Although each team member possessed the “tools” for success, certain players were honored for their outstanding talents. Mark McSpadden, Ray Kreiger, and Tom Cannon each received a berth on the All-County team. Kreiger was also named to the 2nd All-State team and was awarded a baseball scholarship to Clemson University. Cannon was signed by the San Diego Padres to play minor league ball. When asked to comment on the success of the team, Coach Gozora concluded proud- ly, “It was a good season, and that’s exactly what we expected.” ABOVE: In an attempt to score his teammate from 3rd, Steve Cunha eyes the opposing pitcher carefully.

Four year Varsity Softball veteran Laurie LaBranche capitalized on this premise with a display of offensive and defensive strength that earned her a spot on the first team All- conference. An otherwise inexperienced team reinforced this idea as they battled to a promising 9-12 record. Talented underclassmen included shortstop Jeanne Holt, who slugged four home runs and amassed 26 RBI's, and Colleen Crozier, who pitched to a 6-4 record. Optimistically, Coach Ryan anticipates that the experience gathered by this year’s players will lead to an outstanding season next year.

One hun- dred and four students participated in the ceremony, fifty-four of whom were being inducted. The ceremony began as members and in- ductees entered the dark auditorium with lighted candles, symbolic of intellectual enlightenment. The NHS officers then made short speeches on the qualities of the NHS member: scholarship, character, leadership and service. After students received pins from Dr. Parnell, they relit their candles and repeated the NHS vow. The program closed with Kathy Diaczyszyn’s rendition of “Times of Your Life. The NHS gave Dr. Parnell a standing ovation after her closing speech, as this induction ceremony was her last as principal. After the ceremony, a reception was given in the cafeteria for members and their families with refreshments made by the Home Economics Department. The program was coordinated by Miss Sowa who is the NHS advisor. She commented, “I was very pleased with the ceremony; it is always enjoyable.

With the final drop of the curtain, a lengthy but rewarding period of hard work and dedication for all those involved in the pro- duction of the spring musical was completed. While it didn’t boast the proverbial cast of thousands, “West Side Story” did utilize over 300 cast and crew members, helping to make it not only the most elaborate, but as Mr. Cunliffe said, the best musical he had directed in his six years of working at SWMHS. Although “West Side Story” was difficult to bring to life, outstanding performances by Jeanne Rogers as Maria, Kevin Ferguson as Tony, and Laurie Unkel as Anita, helped make the event a grand finish for Mr. Cunliffe, who left the school at the close of the year. “I was very pleased, very proud of the students for their fine performance,” he commented. Separating this year’s production from past presentations was the predominantly male cast and the hiring of professional violinists who added the necessary finishing touches to the musical scores. The departing Mr. Cunliffe, who had con- sistently directed all of this school’s musicals in fine style, summed up his feeling in saying, “I would definitely do it again.” Spring Musical ABOVE LEFT: The smiles of Peter Kalamaras and Diane Koprowicz express the overall emotion of the Junior Prom.

Starry, Starry Night Glimmering stars, subtle lighting and the music of Northern Lights helped set the tone for the 1981 junior prom. With “Stairway to the Stars” chosen as a theme, the prom committee was faced with the task of transforming the hectic atmosphere of the cafeteria into the formal setting of the occa- sion. After eight months of preparation, the committee met the challenge, as the evening of May 9, saw more stars and more couples on the dance floor than the past several years. Adding to the occasion were the traditional favors, flowers, tempting hot and cold dishes and an exquisite four-tiered confection which, ironically, was left uneaten. The response to the band was very favorable, as it satisfied the students’ mixed musical preferences by performing both rock and disco songs. Miss Lamprecht, who spent a great deal of time planning for the occasion, said, “I was very pleased with the turnout. Although there were the problems of selec- ting a good band, good food, and the right decorations, the kids overcame the pressures, and put together a terrific evening.” 28 Junior Prom A Rose Is a Rose May 29, 1981, was a special date for the 282 couples that attended the senior prom at Westmount Country Club. This affair’s unique combination of elegance and energy offered something for everyone’s taste and suc- ceeded in attaining great popularity. Upon arriving, the students displayed great energy. The dance floor was alive with excitement as the music of Kinderhook con- tinued throughout the night. Miss Schwenk, one of the senior advisers, smiled and com- mented, “Everybody danced like crazy. Red silk roses on the tables and the formal attire of the attendants contributed to the elegance of the evening. Hors d’oeuvres preceeded a delicious prime rib dinner. Though many couples stole quiet moments away from the crowd, everyone shared the highlight of the evening by dancing to Jeanne Rogers’ rendition of “The Rose . Miss Schwenk described the moment as “very touching, a beautiful end to a beautiful evening .

Yahoo we finally made it! this expres- sion moved not only in the hearts of the graduates, but also in the evening sky as a plane, rented by the senior class, flew over graduation exercises pulling a banner displaying the message. This year’s ceremony was highlighted by performances from two talented graduates. Kathy Diaczcszyn opened the exercises singing the national anthem with Jeanne Rogers later performing Climb Every Mountain. The traditional speeches and presenta- tions of awards personalized the ceremony. The salutatory speech, delivered by Lynne Jones (below right) dealt with personal rela- tionships, while the theme of Laura Saltzman’s (below left) valedictory speech was competition in society. Don Ferenci and Diane Gizzi attained special honors by each receiving over 700 dollars in cash and scholarships. As always, the ceremony aroused mixed feelings of joy and sadness. For both Dr. Parnell and the graduates, it was an evening to reflect upon the many happy memories of past school years, and to look toward the upcoming phases of their lives. EJ Ballay. Taryn Fennell, Lisa Haber and Andrea Frushon Graduation 31 32 Student Life Student Life • A The setting is Sayreville War Memorial High School, any homeroom. It’s Friday, the final day of Blue and Gray week, and the halls are flowing with figures of these colors. It’s 8:00. A voice comes over the loudspeaker and announces “Homeroom will be extended until 8:30 for any number of reasons.” Periods one through three are not in session. Replacing them is the School Spirit Assembly, arousing the enthusiasm of the student body for tomorrow’s Homecoming ceremonies. Lunch is next. The pizza is surprisingly good, neither burnt nor soggy. No ex- tra money, but you find someone who’ll “spot” you a candy bar. After- wards, periods five and six are also cancelled due to the Almost Anything Goes assembly. Unfortunately, this is cut short because of the early dismissal. During what is normally a fun-filled lab or history lesson, the students with some exceptions, are homeward bound, with no books or homework. Those remaining are preparing for that night’s final sell-out performance of the fall drama, and discussing the upcoming musical. Afterwards, it’s home for them too, to enjoy the holiday vacation. Only in a dream? Maybe, but this is one dream that makes us appreciate the lighter aspects of Student Life. 33 The School Spirit Assembly's great success might be attributed to the fact that this cheerleader stayed in the stands. Apparsntly. they do. Proud senior classmates celebrate their victory in the chanting contest. Spirits Rose Above the Clouds From afar it must have sounded like an inordinately loud spelling bee, but to those involved it was simply an expression of class spirit. This year’s School Spirit Assembly was punctuated with chants of “S-E-N-l-O-R- S,” “R-O-W-D-l-E” and S-U-P-E-R” as each class exerted their dominance in quest of the coveted Bad Cat award. As tradition would have it, the leather-lunged seniors prevailed, initiating a celebration which lingered on after the assembly concluded. Not quite as spirited, however, was the weather. The damp and somber atmosphere caused the cancellation of the popular class relay contest. The marching band, being ac- customed to performing in such an inclement environment, entertained the crowd with their half-time routine. The final innovative facet of the School Spirit Assembly involved the distribution of stickers boasting the pride of each class. Whether stuck to a fence or wall, a person’s face or hair, the stickers added an element of permanence to the assembly, serving as mementos of the event. The close of the assembly and the trek back to class left students pondering the answers to a series of traditional questions. Who would be crowned Homecoming Queen during half-time tomorrow? Which class float would be deemed best? Whatever the out- come, the School Spirit Assembly heightened the interest and spirit of the student body. 34 Pep Rally Innocent Christa Lytkowskl (upper left comer) is caught in a calm moment on camera.

There's No Place Like Homecoming There’s a broken heart for every light on Broadway. If this philosophy is true, then they had better add four more lights soon, for of the five candidates nominated for Homecoming Queen 1981, only one could be crowned. This year’s inductee into the halls of “Sophisticated Ladies’’ was Cin- dy Santaniello, who was carried onto the field on a float of the same theme. For the other floats, however, things did not run as smoothly. Disaster almost struck at the onset of the ceremony when the bat- tery of the car pulling the Senior class float failed. The sportsmen-like juniors, however, rose to the occasion and gave a jump-start to their crippled opponents. Ironically, it was the Senior float which drove out of the stadium victorious. Once the Homecoming activities had been completed an extra ceremony was added. Two First-Place County awards were presented to Mr. Dill on the behalf of the school from the boys Cross Country and Girls Gymnastic teams. The end of Homecoming 1981 was equal- ly as gratifying. The Bomber football team held county power Madison Central to a scoreless, second half and walked off with a 13-13 tie. In appreciation of all the events which oc- curred before, Homecoming 1981 ended ap- propriately with a hearty round of applause from the fans. 36 Homecoming BELOW: Long hours of hard work made il hard to tell whether it was faulty navigation or sophomore creativity which brought this realistic pirate schooner to Sayre ville.

Tki challenging straight line formation is executed brilliantly by the marching band. Bombers on Parade It started in mid-August with Band Camp and was highlighted throughout the year with such events as Homecoming and the colorful Pulaski Day Parade. It is, of course, the Marching band, one of Sayreville’s proudest groups of performers. Under the direction of Mr. Ketterer, the members of this talented ensemble dedicated 10-12 hours each week to the perfection of their finished product, whether it be a spirited half-time show or a placement in an important competition. In either case, the Bomber Band consistently gave the ap- plause and award winning performances which have become its trademarks. One of the players’ most rewarding moments was literally that: a few shining moments on regional television showing them as the honor band of New York City’s Pulaski Day Parade. Participation in the Cedar Ridge Fantasia also brought honors as the percussion section placed second, and the entire band placed third out of nine en- trants, racking up more points than has any other Sayreville Band. Mr. Ketterer summed up his feelings about these triumphs by boasting, “We have a winning combination.’’ WOODWINDS: FRONT ROW: Renee Golla, Patti Wisk, Janet Poetch, Maritza DiScuillo, Margaret Bauer.

Batons, rifles, flags and pom- poms seemed to dance in the hands of cap- tains Claudia Naglich, Cindy Bozan, Missy Rehfuss, Dorian Sanzeri and their respective squad members. Placing first out of the eight groups entered in the Cedar Ridge Fantasia, the girls proved that with the right attitude and enough practice, even the most difficult routines could be mastered. Back home, the band front impressed the audience at the School Spirit Assembly with the tossing of flags and the rifle squad’s brilliant execution of the walking triangle made famous in Broadway’s A Chorus Line. The twirlers and drill team gave equally spectacular showings, justifying one squad member’s evaluation, “Practices were long and grueling, but in the end, the audience’s positive response made it all seem worthwhile.’’ Spirited twirling captain Claudia Naglich attempts to match the sparkle of her outfit with her routine. 40 Band Front Glowing tacos and pom-poms flying like wildfire are Irademarks of Ihe Bomber Band Drill Team.

Decked Out Doors Knock, knock. Who’s there? Quo Vadis. Quo Vadis who? Quo de doow. I’m fweezing. Vadis youw pwobwem? But seriously ... when Quo Vadis came knocking on doors this December, it was not to deliver this feeble attempt at a knock- knock joke, but to invite participation in the second annual Holiday Door Decorating Con- test. Initiated by Ms. Joseph and Quo Vadis 1981 last year, the Door Decorating Contest was designed to spread holiday cheer throughout SWMHS’s hallowed halls. Continu- ing this precedent, Quo Vadis ’82 and the student body responded ambitiously, and by the time Christmas vacation arrived a good deal of doors in the school were arrayed with scenes connoting yuletide spirit. Notable to this year’s portal pageant was the diversity of themes represented amongst the various projects. Everything from angels to Ziggy appeared, each proclaiming a special message for interested passers-by. Garnering awards for originality and tastefulness were the DECA door, A-229, and the FTA door, A-56, respectively. Improving on the conventional doormat, the Quo Vadis Door Decorating Contest pro- vided SWMHS with an exciting and creative way for students to welcome in the holidays. 42 Door Decorafing Conlesl A satiric outlook on an upcoming holiday deadline adorned the Quo Vadis door throughout December What are they doing here?

Door Decorating Contest 43 The Grand Illusionists A fish and a dentist’s chair. These seemingly innocent objects were to come back and haunt an otherwise efficient stage crew during this year’s production of the fall drama. Although the crew executed both quickly and quietly the transition between scenes, mishaps involving these two props left a humorously human mark on their performance. The first incident occurred when, in a fit of simulated pain, Dave Conover broke the back of the dentist’s chair in which he was seated. This accident, however, did not deter the smooth flow of the scene. A few segments later, Hedy Roma ap- peared on the stage as the character of Nina. Much to her dismay, she noticed on the floor a large stuffed fish which was used in the previous scene. Quick thinking by Hedy and John Paul Jones, who also appeared in this scene, saw an ad-lib explanation of the fish’s presence and a regain of composure to the scene. These selected flukes accounted for, the rest of the play’s execution was flawless. “The Good Doctor is an ambitious play because of the complicated sound, light and music cues,” commented Mr. Piccuirro, director of the play, ‘‘and this year’s crew handled its task ably.” Despite their efficiency, however, the stage crew could not claim the heralds and applause which the actors directly received. This though, is to be expected, as the irony of performing the job well is that a good stage crew is never recognized by the audience. Sayreville’s answer to the time machine is the Paint and Powder crew. Each year, this group of talented artists is called upon to speed up the aging process and otherwise alter the features of many of the actors ap- pearing in both the fall drama and spring musical. Mastering the many different and difficult make-up and hair-styling techniques used in theatrical production, the crew suc- ceeded in creating a host of characters whose appearances were as convincing as their spoken performances. In order to be successful, however, the in- dividuals making up the crew were forced to accept and meet one major challenge. Work- ing without the supervision and expertise of an adviser, the students had to accomplish what they could on their own. Fortunately, both Mr. Andre and Mr. Piccuirro lent a help- ing hand, adding a few finishing touches to a job already being done well. 44 Paint and Powder Crew TECHNICAL CREW: FRONT ROW: Ralph Howardson, Jeff Reagan. MIDDLE ROW: John Zaczek, Magdy Tadrow, John Krall. BACK ROW: Joe Geletei. The well-run theater produc- tion rarely sees this technical crew in one place because their various assignments keep them on the run. While most girls use make-up to achieve an illusion of younger age, Lori Ann Foster must apply grease paint make-up to make her character of the old woman seem realistic. Various numbers from the cast and crew point out the special sound tapes which were utilized to add a profes- sional touch to the production of The Good Doctor.

As if in answer lo the question headlined below, the cast of The Good Doctor salutes Ed Kosciewicz' lead performance. Is There o Doctor in the House? The Good Doctor paid a visit to the SWMHS theater and was received by audience laughter and applause. A comedy by Neil Simon, the play related a series of short stories written by the Russian author, Anton Chekov, and depicted on stage by the likes of Ed Kosciewicz, Hedy Roma, John Paul Jones and Andrea Spiegel, among others. Appearing on the evenings of December fourth and fifth, this production marked the SWMHS directing debut of Mr. Piccuirro, who commented, “I’m very lucky. I didn’t know any of the kids very well, but the chemistry was there. It took more than chemistry, however, to bring The Good Doctor to life. Practices lasted anywhere from twelve to twenty hours a week, and ran from late September right up until the eve of opening night. Most of the ac- tors had to work twice as hard to perfect their talents, as the majority of those perfor- ming in the play were cast in dual roles. Despite the many long hours and the add- ed pressure of having more than one character to create, the cast members pulled through, making their participation in the drama both a rewarding and memorable ex- perience. As Mr. Piccuirro put it, “All plays are a lot of work, but this play was an especially enriching experience because of the people involved.

Hello Rehearsals for “Bye, Bye, Birdie,” a musical loosely based on the drafting of Elvis Presley, were hard to overlook and easy to overhear throughout February and up to cur- tain time in March. Of course, what can be expected when a play features a rock 'n roll star, twenty teenagers on a jungle gym and twenty telephones, and twenty-five girls screaming? Ed Kosciewicz as Conrad Birdie caused all the screaming. Sharing the SWMHS spotlight was Conrad’s manager, played by J. P. Jones, who found himself torn between the motherly love of Denise Malik and the vivacious attentions of secretary Rosanda Strika. However, middle-aged Mr. MacAfee, portrayed by Warren Clark, was predicted by several cast members to outshine other ac- tors in the laugh department. 48 Bye Bye Birdie Strika, asks (he musical question, “What Did I Ever See In Him?

Two weeks before opening night, Mr. Pic- cuirro. drama director, was more than op- timistic. “We’ll have a very successful show because of all the talent and hard work that are going into it. I just hope that everyone in- volved will feel they put on their best show and, of course, that the audience will get a kick out of it. A musical is not a musical without music, right? Vital to the production of “Bye, Bye, Birdie” was the fourteen member band, headed by Mr. Ketterer. How did this group learn forty songs in ten weeks? Concentra- tion, discipline, and, of course, Sayreville talent. No one seemed to mind, according to Mr. Ketterer, who commented, “After prac- tice, we’re all drained, but not from hassles ... from the work.” The ensemble helped to make this year’s musical “work for all involved. Don’t lot the empty seats fool you .. . this room is filled to capacity . .. with music. The Pit Band, although small in size, ably handled the musical portion of Bye. Bye. Birdie. Bye Bye Birdie 49 Hof's the Way If Was — Feb. 17,1982 Roaming the classrooms and corridors of SWMHS during the week ending February 19, were scores of cowboys, hippies, militants, firemen, flower children and various and assorted other capped and costumed characters. No, the Student Council was not sponsoring an open house, but the traditional Blue and Grey Week instituted to combat the midwinter depression which usually sinks in among students approximately this time each year. The four day school week consisted of the usual Blue and Grey Day, Class Color Day, Hat Day and a new student council innovation, 60’s Day. Contenders in the daily dressup competitions were counted and categorized according to class, and it was the seniors who were awarded ten extra points in the Almost Anything Goes assembly for their active participation.

The choices usually con- sisted of three major options — the first be- ing to hang out with friends, the second to go home and do nothing and the third to remain in school for a meeting or other extracur- ricular activity. Whether it was because of a desire to be a member of a club that suited one’s interests, or an irrational need to carry around bags full of candy, a large number of students opted for the latter. Thus we have our newspaper editors and future business leaders, and our student council representatives and Olym- pians of the Mind. There were also those in- dividuals who chose to join almost all of the school's activities, although it has yet to be determined how a person can be a future teacher and a future secretary at the same time. Nevertheless, it was always that time in school which was spent after 2:30 that was most enjoyable and memorable. Whether it was one language club meeting per month or the daily grind of producing one of the school's literary publications, extracurricular activities often provided a relaxing and rewarding end to days we would otherwise rather forget.

Activities 65 The Pride ef SWMUS The roaring crowd responds enthusiastically as Celeste DelGatto leads them in a rousing cheer Student Council President Celeste DelGatto displays the plaque signifying Sayreville's completion of 20 years as an honor school. 66 Student Council On January 6, 1982, the New Jersey Association of Student Councils held its 56th annual convention at Trenton State College. On that very same day, SWMHS Student Council officers Celeste DelGatto, Wayne Locklin, Terri Howardson and Tom Reagan, as well as faculty advisers Miss Kwiatkowski and Mrs. Kratinski just happened to be in the vicinity of the convention. Sound like an in- credible coincidence? Not really. Actually these representatives of SWMHS traveled to the function to pick up something they very much deserved. This was the NJASC’s annual award, presented to them due to the fact that theirs has been an honor school for the past twenty years, and because they succeeded in maintaining the school’s honorary status through upkeep, fund-raisers and spirit-promoting activities. What exactly does the council do, you ask? These are the individuals in charge of keeping the outdoor activities sign up to date, organizing the spirit assemblies, run- ning the lost and found, and keeping the soda machines operating properly. The council also calendared the school’s fund- raisers and sponsored the flower sales on Halloween and Valentine’s Day, not to men- tion running several fundraising projects of its own whose proceeds went to charities. This year featured a new spring clean-up which was designed to increase student awareness of vandalism and evoke pride for our school, and as hoped for, was suc- cessful in doing both. As for the future, Ms. Kwiatkowski hopes to help the council “eliminate projects that no longer work and particularly to introduce new ideas that will stimulate more participation from more students.” Exchange students from the North Pole?

Student Council 67 “EL CIRCULO ESPANOL A Larae “Circule” cf friends Once again, ‘‘El Circulo Espanol” held the distinction of being the club having the greatest number of members. While some in- dividuals never got far beyond “Juan esta en Mexico,’’ it was obvious that the Spanish language had generated enough interest among students to make it the most popular activity in SWMHS. According to advisers Mrs. Ludlow and Miss Kwiatkowski, “It is a benefit having so many students involved in the club. It’s ter- rific to know so many people are interested in the Spanish culture.” What interested some students even more than culture was the yearly calendar of events which the club regularly sponsors. Aside from the usual candy sales and the sale of novelty buttons, “El Circulo Espanol” presented a bilingual play to both the junior high and the high school, and organized the spirited festival of “El Dia De La Raza,” the most popular of all its activities. With a roster like that, it was no wonder the Spanish Club attracted a whopping 123 students. The language may be confined to a few select countries, but judging by this number, its appeal is certainly universal. Among the most popular and unique of all activities in SWMHS is the (German, French) Club. Not only did the members of this for- midable (gruppe, groupe) get to experience a bit of (German, French) culture through ac- tivities such as the (foreign language festival, sponsoring of a Franco-American pen-pal service), but they also took part in the tradi- tional sale of (Gummy Bears, Reese’s) which has become the club’s trademark. Financed by this sale was the annual trip to (New York, New York) where students dined at an elegant (German, French) restaurant and attended a (German operetta, Broadway play). Club members also traveled to Piscataway High School to view a bilingual play, a tradition started this year. Adviser (Mrs. Hazners, Mrs. Parks) felt that it was this combination of fun and learning that made the activity so successful. As (just) Mrs. Hazners pointed out, “Exposure to dif- ferent cultures can be a highly enlightening experience as well as a lot of fun.” 68 Language Clubs SPANISH HONOR SOCIETY: FRONT ROW: Barbara Fox, Terry Ziobro, Elise Kowzan, Lenora Sadowski, Lise Anne Helpa.

Language Clubs 69 Pinata Creaks Traditionally If a picture is worth a thousand words, then what does a t-shirt merit? Two timely words on Mrs. Ludlow’s t-shirt are enough to elicit valued responses from fellow party- goers at the Winter Festival. It may not have been the cultural event of the season, but the Foreign Language Festival provided the perfect opportunity for both students and faculty members to relax and enjoy traditional dishes of German, French, and Spanish origins. In preparing for the festival, volunteers from the three language clubs decorated the cafeteria and covered its Lbles with trays of homemade creations ranging from tacos and cream puffs to the more delicate quiches and chocolate mousse. As the trays emptied and the hungers waned, Mr. Dill was called upon to select the raffle number which would determine the win- ner of Sue Pasternak’s second annual gingerbread replica of the Eiffel Tower. Much to his embarrassed delight, he chose his own number. The final and most popular activity was the traditional breaking of the pinata. A forceful swing of the stick by junior Jeanne Marie Bauman resulted in a wild dash to the floor in a mixed effort for each student to secure his or her share of candy. After evaluating their gains, individuals regained their composure, said their good- byes and headed for home, taking with them a little bit of foreign culture. The question still remains as to what one does with a ginger- bread Eiffel Tower. Also transpiring in December was the Na- tional Honor Society’s midyear reception which welcomed newly elected senior members. The gathering, held in the library, provided a relaxing atmosphere for students to discuss upcoming society activities, which included the distribution of Christmas cards to SWMHS’s other organizations, and to sam- ple a tasty variety of baked goods brought in by seniors elected in their junior year. Socie- ty members enjoyed the pleasant surround- ings and good food, making the reception yet another NHS success. They like making them. Kathy McHugh, Coleen Hope, Valerie Brock and Dorian Sanzeri perform with a smile their service of preparing tacos for those who prefer eating them. This cultural confection was certainly an ‘‘eyeful for hungry language students. 70 Foreign Language Festival Spiked? — with success.

All-Natural” Activities Two organizations which sponsored can- dy sales for reasons other than financing trips to New York were the Biology and Ecology Clubs. Members utilized club funds to increase their knowledge of the natural world around them and dedicated additional time and money to helping others. Projects undertaken by the former included a long term hydroponics lab which involved the cultivation of sunflowers in water and experimentation with a new form of bacteria. The traditional construction of the SWMHS Christmas wreath and a field trip to Island Beach State Park highlighted this club’s diverse roster of activities. In a similar vein, Ecology Club members also involved themselves with nature. Members started off their year by sponsoring an ecological buffet featuring all natural foods and concluded it with a field trip to Sandy Hook State Park. Sandwiched in bet- ween were many other activities including various fundraisers and the distribution of hand-made floral arrangements to residents of the Oakview Nursing Home. While neither of the clubs could boast a record-shattering number of members, the shortage of bodies did not limit the amount of fun and learning experienced by those who found their niche in these “all natural’’ activities. “I simply can’t get along without them,’’ claimed Mrs. Simko in reference not to those paper snowflakes hanging from the ceiling during the winter months, but to the members of the Library Council. Every day, during homeroom, lunch and study periods and even after school, students taking part in this cooperative effort helped keep the library in circulation. Their jobs varied from tracking down overdue books and manning the loan desk to the more burdensome task of taking inventory. Mrs. Simko was especially pleased this year because, “we have more males on the staff and the work has lost its sexist billing.” By working on the council, she maintained, “both boys and girls alike gain a greater ap- preciation for what the library has to offer.” Arrangements of pinecones created by the efforts of spirited Ecology Club members lent a fragrantly old- fashioned touch to the Christmas season.

The following broadcast is made possible by Dr. Parnell, who introduced the program to SWMHS, and by Mrs. Gelsinon, who super- vised its production ... And now, live, from glamorous and ex- citing New Brunswick, New Jersey — it’s the Rutgers Bowl! Today’s contestants in our game include SWMHS’s own Dave Anderson, Matt Pachkowski, Jessica Bauer and Dave Saltzman, and, oh yeah, four kids from some other high school. As you know, participants will be asked a series of questions dealing with literature, art, music, science, history, geography, and current events, and will be awarded points for each correct answer they come up with. But before we get on with our games, let’s hear a few words from our sponsor... Tired of the same old test week after week after week after week? Why not try the Science League or Math Club? Supervised by Mrs. Albanir and Dr. Evanovich, respec- tively, participants in these activities engage in a series of fun-filled tests administered by the New Jersey Science Teacher’s Associa- tion and the New Jersey Mathematics League, and designed to test the individuals' capabilities in their chosen areas of study. Both clubs offer an added challenge of learn- ing to those involved, and as both advisers observed, “The programs provide interested students with the ideal opportunity to delve beyond classroom studies.’’ Okay, we’re back. The commercial ran a little longer than we expected and I’m sorry to say our time is just about up. For those of you concerned, Sayreville led with a score of 195-85 at the sound of our halftime whistle, but that other school came from behind, defeating SWMHS with a final showing of 450-250. Despite the loss, Mrs. Gelsinon feels today’s show was a learning ex- perience, and is looking forward to future competitions. Well that’s all the time we’ve got. Join us next year on ... the Rutgers Bowl! Not recommended for children under the age of — 15? If they were packaged and sold, the games played by members of Dr. Marotta’s Games Club might very well feature this warning. Games, such as Dungeons and Dragons and Traveler, in which roles must be acted out are often so complex that even some high school students have trouble with them. Meetings, which were held on an irregular basis, involved little more than members hav- ing a good time while portraying dragon slayers and space wanderers. Members were always willing to teach interested spec- tators the fundamentals of game play, but as member Joe Cooney commented, “The rules take quite awhile to learn, and even longer to master.” Mastering the functions of the mind is another endeavor of another of SWMHS’s clubs. The Olympics of the Mind, supervised by Mrs. Gelsinon, pitted chronic thinkers against seemingly impossible tasks, resulting in the brainstormings of ideas and the even- tual, and often ingenious solutions to the pro- blems. “Although this year’s competition is more difficult than in previous years,” Mrs. Gelsinon commented, “I feel confident our team had what it takes to tackle whatever it comes up against.” 74 Games Club Rutger’s Bowl OM Your mission is to navigate a fellow teammate through a maze of desks without using any audible signals.

As FTA advisor Mrs. Coppinger pointed out, “We are not a social group but a service organization. Proving her statement true, aspiring educators engaged in the tutoring of compensatory education students and spon- sored the club’s second annual poster con- test for elementary school students. FBLA advisor Mr. Andre also geared his organization toward practical purposes. “By participating in the FBLA, he observed, “students gained insight into the business world and learned how to work together. Attesting to this claim, members sponsored a Christmas toy drive, attended a job- orientated lecture and embarked on the club’s annual field trip to Wall Street, where they got a first hand view of the stock market and other financial phenomenon. DECA, too, helped eager students in their quest to get ahead in the business world. Through the efforts of advisor Ms. Carosh, members were able to take advantage of local job opportunities and earn money while learning a skill they enjoy. With clubs like these, the future certainly seems brighter for SWMHS graduates. “Something borrowed” adds authenticity to this bridal display.

LEFT: Recognizing the importance of an attractive edition, typing editor Coleen Bloodgood and Editor-in-chief Warren Clark compare possible type styles. FAR LEFT: As the board implies, new advisors Mrs. Shur and Ms. Joseph (not pictured) combine their talents for this year's Imagis. Better Late Than Never Images, as defined by this year's advisors, is “an outlet for creativity in the forms of art, photography, prose and poetry. This outlet was almost disconnected by the resignation of last year’s advisor. Reviving it was Kris Gorka, who, in an organized effort to find an advisor, discovered two: Ms. Shur and Ms. Joseph. “We decided to do it together because neither of us has the time to do it all alone, declared Ms. Shur. Ms. Joseph added, “Some teachers feel that they are here for the students. Ms. Shur and I happen to feel that way. Although both advisors have had jour- nalistic experience, neither of them have ever dealt with a publication that is chiefly creative. “We really have no idea what it’s going to be like, they agreed. When discussing how this year’s magazine differed from past issues, Ms. Shur and Ms. Joseph concurred that they were let- ting their editors make major decisions. Con- cisely put by Ms. Shur, “It’s the editors’ ideas that run this kind of publication. As these editors determined the shape of their Images, it was their determination that kept the literary magazine in print for 1982. Th« Intinsi concentration of Poetry editor Kris Gorka reflects the difficulty of choosing from publication. diverse submissions for the Imigis 81 Deadline approaching demands teamwork from Echo- Lites editors Matt Bauer and Lynn Trepesowsky. As Editor-In-Chief of Echo-Litts. Warren Clark gives his opinion on the new ideas for the Features page. Excedrin headache 237 hits Kevin Ferguson as the newspaper deadline draws to a close. However, Mrs. Shur lends the helping hand needed to put the finishing touches on an article. After one of Echo-Lites' successful candy drives, Editorial Editor Kris Gorka licks her fingers. Eead All About It! Extra, extra! Read all about it! Echo-Lites staff undergoes behind-the-scenes changes! These changes, although unknown to most of the student body, affected the finish- ed product, and resulted in consistent quali- ty, subject variety and expanded coverage of school activities. Among the most effective was the redefini- tion of editor-in-chief. Senior Warren Clark, who termed himself liaison between staff and advisor, handled such important tasks as proofreading all copy, scheduling meetings and organizing candy sales. An even balance of junior and senior staff members also had a positive effect on the paper, as experience and fresh ideas combined to produce what they hoped would be a prize winning publication. “Greater response was the keynote to Echo-Lites production this year. With the school turning its attention to increasing stu- dent pride and spirit, Echo-Lites covered all aspects. The publication received more let- ters than ever before, nearing one hundred by June. Contributions from interested students, both in written and photographic forms, poured in to improve both the depth and scope of coverage. Actually, Echo-Lites produced eight issues this year, two of which were double, and all of which were unique. Mrs. Shur sees the role of a high school newspaper primarily as one of production. “We just produce, bang out one issue every month or so. More insight into the workings of the paper came from the workers themselves. All editors agreed that the newspaper brought together a group of people who probably wouldn’t have gotten together otherwise, and that group turned out to be a fun one. Lynn Trepesowsky summed up the year in reference to its regular Tuesday meetings: “Tuesday is a day to look forward to.

Ernie: What about the yearbook is different this year? Bert: Our advisor, being able to catch the 5:15 bus almost every day and the theme. Ernie: What IS the theme? Bert: Electromagnetic radiation to which all organs of sight react, ranging in wavelength from about 4000 to 7700 angstrom units, and propagated at a speed of about 186,000 miles per second. Ernie: What? Bert: Light. Ernie: What was your most memorable moment? Bert: When Managing Editor Elise Kowzan an- nounced she was moving to Boston and Scott and Joe foolishly believed her. Ernie: Who were outstanding staff members? Bert: Those who came to A-207 every day at 2:30 and stayed until 5 o’clock. Ernie: How many were there? Bert: Well, counting Ms. Bittle, there were urn, uh, one. Ernie: How long and how often did you work? Bert: See page 203. Ernie: Okay, what were your fundraisers? Bert: We sold lollipops, candy, cookies, stuf- fed animals and Bomber shirts. Ernie: Did the staff live up to expectations? Bert: Aah — yeah. Ernie: Great. Now, what do you expect will be the book’s reception? Bert: We’re planning a small banquet in June — nothing extravagant — just family and a few close friends. Ernie: What makes the yearbook interesting? Bert: The index. Ernie: Okay, would you describe a typical meeting in your own words? Bert: No. Ernie: What kinds of people join the yearbook? Bert: Students, lepers, manic depressives, werewolves, aborigines and one June Taylor Dancer. Ernie: Were there any conflicts among staff members? Bert: No. Oh, wait, we didn’t always agree on what to have for dinner on deadline nights. But that’s it. Oh, except for the cover, and the opening page. But that’s definitely it. Oh and the “West Side Story” article, and the index, and of course a few minor personal clashes ... Ernie: Okay, how about... Bert: ... and the time we had the parade, and which radio station to listen to, and what to do with the extra double page spread in the activities section and... Ernie: That’ll be enough. Now, one final ques- tion. What have you gotten out of being a yearbook editor? Bert: Well, I’ve developed better writing, typ- ing and photography skills, and I learned to deal with the problems and pressures of a hectic situation. I learned about cooperation and how to work with friends toward a com- mon goal, and to accept the human spirit for its face value. I learned not to expect too much from others unless I am willing to give also. And I learned what a dingbat is.

Quo Vadls 87 88 Sports ”1 t’s not whether you win or lose, but how you play the game. One thing’s for cer- —I tain, whoever coined that golden statement didn’t do so in Sayreville. Here, it is sad to admit, a team’s record is considered more im- portant than a player’s talent, effort and perseverance, and a good perfor- mance is ignored if our athletes don’t score as many points as their rivals. Several of our competitive squads, however, have attained greatness in their performances and have been justly rewarded with county and state honors. On the other hand, there are those which are forced to struggle under constant criticism and minimum support. It is to these teams, and there are more than one, to which special credit is due. Rather than giving up on themselves, their school and their town, they stick with what they do, proving that there are still a few good sports” left in SWMHS. Sports 89 Superstar gymnast Mike Saltzman displays the form that garnered him a second place standing in the state. 90 Cheerleaders Even King Tut would smile with favor on this eye-catching cheerleader pyramid. The cold weather has brought a grimace to Terri Howardson’s face, but inside there's a warm spirited smile cheering with the seniors towards success. Even when Bomber ball games were headed toward disaster, the SWMHS cheerleaders, under the direction of Mrs. Ferhle, always managed to retain their en- thusiasm. Offering vigorous applause, en- couraging cheers and inspiring smiles, the girls gave our athletes that extra drive sometimes needed to score that winning basket or touchdown. Cheering was not all glamour and excite- ment, however. Practices ran from two and a half to three hours each day, and perfecting some of the more difficult dance steps often took weeks. Co-captains Ann Buckler and Doreen Jolly strove for perfection, though, and eventually produced new routines that were as fresh and stylish as the girls’ newly acquired uniforms. “They were like a well-oiled cheering machine and a close-knit family at the same time,” expressed one spectator who ob- viously spent a lot of time thinking up that quote. More simplistically, another viewer commented, “The combination really made you want to cheer along with them.” While the girls don’t have a won-lost record to prove it, the cheerleaders certainly performed “winningly” in 1982. CHEERLEADERS: Janet Kaminsky, Lori Jarusewicz, Maureen Coyle, Elissa Unkel, Teri Nehila, Terri Howard- son, Jamie Unkel, Doreen Jolly, Kristen Boaris, Joann Markulic, Karen Neminski, Kelly Bolton, Charlene Grobelni, Jeanne Nehila, Lori Blaszka. Cheerleaders 91 Give him an inch and he'll take a mile. Always a threat, John Mininno breaks from the pack for a needed first down on the opposing 30 yard line. When all the wins and losses were totalled up, the sums fell short of the Varsity football team’s expectations for 1981. A better team than their record shows, the squad fell suspect to a series of hard-fought losses, unfortunate mishaps and opportunities passed over. Bright spots in this otherwise disappoint- ing season were several outstanding perfor- mances put in by talented individuals. A great asset to this year’s team was captain John Minnino who was awarded All-Conference and All-County honors for his defensive abili- ty at left back. His statistic value amounted to an impressive 107 individual tackles and 37 assists. John held no monopoly on tackling, though, as captain Todd McGrath also com- piled a list of 34 tackles and 14 assists. On the offensive, captain Wayne Locklin inflicted the Sayreville sting on opposing teams with his conversion of 37 carries for 113 yards and a touchdown. Wide receiver Paul Ortiz pulled in 34 receptions for 446 yards and a touchdown as he dazzled op- posing teams with his lightning speed and skilled hands. Leading the team at quarter- back was sophomore sensation Craig Mc- Coy who, in this his rookie year, completed a promising 84 passes for a total of 914 yards and 3 touchdowns. Each of these outstanding contributors, however, shone brightest when the team put it all together and emerged victorious from their battle with the Cedar Ridge Cougars. The Cougars proved to be less than big game at the hands of our Bomber big guns. Carrying out their prediction, the squad eked out a victory with a touchdown by Paul D’Arpa in the last four seconds of the game. Breaking a 6 year losing streak versus the South River Rams was an additional shining moment for the Bomber brigade. Posting a 3-3 stalemate the team was startling at defense. The South River offense was held to a measly 20 yards ending the Bomber season with a log of 1-6-2. As witnessed by the Thanksgiving thrashing of the South River offense, the Var- sity Football team was far more effective than their record or the plaudits they received indicated. As many of their opponents com- mented, “They were the best losing team we’ve ever played. Hit 'mi again! Hit 'em again! Harder! Harder! cry the cheerleaders and the defense responds.

The “I , however, does appear in the word “individual , and despite the emphasis on team effort, several individuals could be singled out for their outstanding contributions to the game. Among these were quarterback Frank Snyder, tight end Tony Esposito, wide receiver Paul Ortiz and running back Paul D’Arpa, each of whom excelled in their on- field duties. While Coach Fry was not com- pletely satisfied with the team’s overall per- formance, he did notice improvement on the parts of the aforementioned players. “What I especially liked to see,” he commented, “were athletes so wrapped up in the game they did anything to help a teammate. “Some people, however, did not believe enough or set goals high enough for their abilities, Coach Fry summarized, “so despite all of our talent, I feel the team could have accomplished more.

Discipline, desire and determination may constitute a clever combination, but unfor- tunately these qualities weren’t enough for the sophomore football team to overcome their opposition. Up against tough com- petitive strength, the Bombers wrapped up their season with an unsatisfying 1-6 finish. “They’re a tough bunch of kids,” Coach Giordano explained, “but inexperience and an unavoidable need for players to switch positions proved too great an obstacle for a winning season.” This season was, however, not without its personal triumphs. Fullback Bob Santinello led the team with 200 yards rushing, while receiver Tom Nowicki totalled 250 yards from receptions. Quarterback Frank Snyder threw for three touchdowns, and monster Michael Battaglia numbered 30 tackles. Also noted for their strong displays of effort were Bill Poeschler, Rich Keller, Darren Locklin and Steve Koprowicz. Together, the players pooled their strength and overcame arch foe East Brunswick with a score of 22-8 in the team’s finest moment. As for the team’s overall per- formance, Coach Giordano affirmed, “I’m happy for the team.

Still, being the first team since 1975 to qualify for the State Tournament certainly showed a lot of skill and potential. Much of this can be attributed to the strenuous prac- tice drills and the keen strategy of the coaches. As Caryn Lukie, starting left for- ward, put it, “If it wasn’t for Miss Sunski and Miss Popowski pushing us, we wouldn’t have gotten as far as we did. The deciding factor, though, is always the team itself. Co-captains Judy Lockwood, wing, and Shelley Sabine, fullback, each ex- celled in their respective areas of play.

These are the two qualities to which Coach Inman attributed the success of the JV soccer team, known to its followers as the “Blue Wave.” Having battled to a final showing of 9-4-1, each of the team’s eighteen members contributed to the setting of this new SWMHS record. Leading the way to victory were Matt Pachkowski, Scott Paulson, Mike Caruso and Jim Gallagher. Mike Brady and Andy Tran, each accumulating ten goals, shared the title of high scorers. Together, the players held back their opposition, preventing any one team from scoring more than two goals against them. Highlighting the season were the two games in which the “Blue Wave” washed away arch rivals Edison and Perth Amboy, with a 1-0 score each game. More important than winning, Coach Inman expressed, were the “love and understanding, and the feeling of being family members” that the players gained. The interaction of the team’s players was a major factor in their victory this season, and while the tides changed from hour to hour, the athletes comprising the Blue Wave certainly proved that the surf was up in 1981.

With a roster of young players and few ex- perienced leaders, the varsity soccer team was at a disadvantaged position even before the start of its first game. Still, the athletes managed to complete their season with a hopeful final showing of five wins, eleven losses. “The team used this season as a rebuilding period for next year,” reported an optimistic Coach Hudock. Among the notable individuals who lent their talents to the game were co-captain Ken Dwyer, who led the offensive attack with a total of thirteen goals, and sophomore Shea Patel, who excelled as center halfback. Com- prising the defensive force were co-captain Ed Wolf, senior Joe Cooney, and juniors Chris Krieger and Ron Matthews. Also vital on the offensive end was Kevin Kiernan, whose determination is expected to see him anchor- ing next year's team. “It was the pride in themselves and their accomplishments, Coach Hudock maintain- ed, “that kept this team playing hard in all of their games.

Judging from the power and drive of these athletes, it appears as though the returning players won’t stop until they’ve proved to themselves and their opponents that com- petition against the Bombers is not to be taken lightly.

A majority of sophomores and a complete lack of seniors intensified an already critical challenge for the members of the Girls’ Cross Country team. While most coaches would have been discouraged by the 3-7 record accrued by this team, Coach Doll found assurance in the strength and speed individual members built during the season. Even though the team didn’t come in first place, they gained en- durance, good mental attitudes, and a com- mon desire to succeed in the future. Both coach and several team members credited these gains to steady and strenuous prac- tices involving sprinting, long-distance run- ning and the relatively new practice of female weight lifting. Sophomore Gail Kupcha particularly showed promise taking 2nd team All- Conference and 3rd team All-County places. Overall, this team will be ready for the new course that beckons every runner. Advice from Coach Doll and rigorous warm-up calisthenics breed different reactions as demonstrated by a pensive Ann Marie Macaluso and an exuberant Lisa Mitrosky. Sayreville W.M.H.S.

Of The girls’ tennis team often suffered defeat, but not without a tremendous display of effort and perseverance. Up against tough competition, the inexperienced team finished its season with a disappointing record of 3 wins and 19 losses. The girls’ new coach, Mr. Nicoliason, at- tributed the team’s final status to the fact that most of the players had never competed in a high school match before. “Our team was young and inexperienced, but with all the practice and learning that’s been done, we feel prepared for a fresh promising season next year,’’ he explained. Among those players who served up to their potential were Debbie Landsburg, who played first singles, Maritza Sideris, who started at third and moved up to second singles, and the doubles team of Patty Mur- ray and Connie Spolowitz, who led the team in match wins. Although the team didn't have a winning season, the girls found defeat easier to ac- cept, knowing they held their own in a “tough racket. 106 Girl’s Tennis The return of servo often determines the outcome of a rally.

The music begins. Its classical strains inspire her to animation, taking form in a series of light jumps and delicate spins. The crowd responds in approval. The preceding scene took place, not in Moscow ballet competitions, but in our own SWMHS gym as the 1981 Girls’ Gymnastics team continued to display the grace and beauty of this classic Olympic sport. Com- bining this stylized technique with the more modern and dynamic acrobatic stunts, the girls emerged victorious from the County Tournament. Logging a 9-2 record, the team, compris- ed mostly of underclassmen, showed great potential. Freshman Diane Garbowski led the team in all-around, placing fifth in sectional competition in this category. Records in vaulting and the floor exercise fell at her nim- ble hands. Sophomore Joni Mayer also per- formed ably as she somersaulted toward Bomber greatness. Scoring a 9.4 on the uneven parallel bars, and an 8.65 on the beam, she likewise earned a bright spot in Sayreville’s record book, adding yet another chapter to this already lengthy volume. An intriguing pose adds to the modern mood of Elaine VanWoert's floor exercise. 108 Girls’ Gymnastics Each team member practices several hours a day in order to perfect her respective routine.

Mike Saltzman displays the intricacies of balancing on one foot as he performs this scale. Burning a flaming path through the record books and a string of arch rivals, the 1981 Boys’ Gymnastics team established a land- mark season in Sayreville sports history. A series of sizzling hot performances executed by an outstanding squad of senior gymnasts powered the Bombers to an undefeated season and the State Crown. Ushered by co-captains Mike Wasko and Mike Saltzman, Sayreville’s own dynamic duo, the team set a precedent of exceptional technical skill in all aspects of competition. Mike Wasko, whose return from injury played a vital part in this year’s success, broke all previous records with a meritorious score of 9.5 on the vault. For his efforts in this event he was awarded a spot on the First Team All-State. Mike Saltzman, mainstay of the team, was impressive on every apparatus. His versatility is evident in his position as First Team All-State representative in the all- around, floor exercise, pommel horse and ring competitions, and as Second Team All- State representative in the vault, parallel bar and high bar competitions. Their presence in this season’s meets proved a winning com- bination for Sayreville. “We needed everybody to win, though,” commented Mike Saltzman, and the team’s overall talent attested to this statement. Notable for his perfect execution of strenuous moves on the pommel horse was Joe During, who was elected to the Fourth Team All-State for his apparatus. Mark Loniewski and Tim Wiamer rounded out the Sayreville Attack with skilled performances on the high bar. Under the able direction of Coach Hefelf- inger, the team banded together and upset nemeses East Brunswick and Columbia for the first time in Sayreville gymnastic history. Victories in the County and Sectional tourneys followed, and this top-notch season culminated, of course, with the Bombers walking off with a first place standing in the State Tournament. Coach Hefelfinger, named Coach of the Year, reflected, “They have a lot to be proud of. This great honor will stay with them for a long time.” r Boys' Gymnastics 111 Boys' Gymnastics Sayreville W.M.H.S.

Ron Bolton's opponent would be in dire straits. Luckily for Sayreville, Ron's skill and determination will suffice. The true strength of the JV Wrestling team cannot be seen simply by viewing its record. Despite its overall performance of 5 wins and 8 losses and a statement claiming “a lack of experience definitely had a negative effect on the team's record,” Coach Fischer felt confi- dent that the Sayreville wrestling program was improving and gaining needed experience. Unfortunately, however, problems also arose because of a lack of participation in the sport which eventually resulted in JV wrestlers being forced to give up their posi- tions and compete on varsity levels. This, in- evitably, led to a series of JV forfeitures due to unfilled positions in several weight classes. Still, the team was not left without talent, as Junior John Brady ended his season with a first place victory in the Novice Tournament and a 7-1 record. Vinnie Dechiara and Rich Zimmerman, also juniors, both completed the season with a final showing of 10-3. Coach Fischer hoped that, along with returning players, more individuals would try out so the team could live up to its potential. 113 Turnabout is fair play for Tony Viola as he reverses an opponent for im- On the defensive, master of the mat Mark Fusco prevents an advancing opponent from portant point accumulations. completing a sitout. ©“ff fttnKD VARSITY WRESTLING: FRONT ROW: Nadine Becker, Tim Coman, Dan Gugliotta, Matt Pachkowski, Ed Mahalick, Tony Viola, Dennis Mascali, Georgina Macaluso.

For the Varsity Wrestling team, the thrill of victory was experienced more often by in- dividual athletes than by the squad as a whole. Despite a somewhat disappointing record of 5 wins and 12 losses, several outstanding wrestlers managed to rise from the mats as undisputed champions. Most notable, and making Sayreville wrestling history, was Tony Viola, who, in winning the 122 pound class match in the district tournament, became the first sophomore ever to win a district title. Junior Matt Pachkowski led the team with 12 pins and a final record of 19-4-1, and Junior Ed Mahalick completed his season with a 10-3- 1 showing. Other talented grapplers included Tim McKeon, Dennis Mascali and Paul D’Ar- pa, having earned a first, second and second place finish respectively in the Woodbridge Christmas Tournament. Highlighting the season was an almost perfect match against St. Mary’s in which eleven out of twelve bouts ended with Sayreville victories, resulting in a 66-6 defeat over the opponent. Although eight of the team’s losses were by less than ten points, not all matches ran quite as smoothly. “One more experienced wrestler,” Coach Zaleski, predicted, “and we’d have had a winning season.” 114 Varsity Wrestling I ' f r With mallent positioning and technique apparent, Matt Pachkowski shows that he’s on top of the situation.

Varsity Wrestling 115 0 9 rui LnJ 0 □ Twenty hours of practice per week led to near perfection for the Girls’ Varsity Basketball team which completed its Season with an im- pressive 19-5 record. Starting with a six game winning streak, the girls met with defeat for the first time during a home game against East Brunswick which they lost by one point, 39-38. A similar fate awaited them at the quarter finals of the county tournament, during which they were knocked out of the competition again by a single point, scoring 44 to St. Peter’s 45. Star players on the team were Caiyn Lukie and Kate Briody, both sophomores and both guards. Seniors Caroline McCurdy and Michele Garbowski also proved vital, as Caroline scored with double figures each game and Michele con- sistently ranked second highest in assists. High above the rest was Senior Cindy Allman who had, by the middle of her junior year, already scored over 1000 points, and who led the team in points, rebounds and assists. Proud of the team’s performance an en- thusiastic Coach Sunski reported, “This year was great and whether we won or lost, my team made believers out of the spectators.’’ Forward Carolina McCurdy outmanuevers her opponent with swift hip movement and approaches the basket. 116 Girls' Basketball GIRLS' BASKETBALL: FRONT ROW: Caryn Lukie, Caroline McCurdy, Michele Garbowski, Cindy Allman, Chris Mormak.

The team’s success was based on determination and strenuous prac- tice sessions of up to 18 hours per week. The fact that the JV team was ineligible for tournament play didn’t daunt them from play- ing their best in every game. This year’s team was led by Junior guards Colleen Crozier and Marcy Bailey and forward Barb Matthews. These girls contributed heavily in scoring, rebounds, assists and steals. Junior Lori Szczepanik was also cited by Coach Ryan as being one of the most improved players on the team. Coach Ryan was very pleased with the im- provement over last year’s record. She com- mented, “With a lot of team effort everyone was able to participate in the games and gain more experience which would later prepare them for a spot on the varsity squad. Returning to the court after a knee injury, Chris Romel attempts to add another two points to the Bombers' lead. FOMDMfJ a HD 0 0 Teamwork was the premise upon which the JV Basketball team built its season. Not necessarily having any standouts, each player developed new talents during the season, providing a strong bench that was capable of being switched continuously. Cer- tain team members, however, distinguished themselves with their individual perfor- mances. Scott Jurkiewicz was the lead scorer averaging 18.5 points per game with Craig McCoy and Rich Kemple following close behind with average accumulations of 12.4 and 7 points respectively. First year coach Mr. John Ciszewski was very pleased with the team’s effort. Com- menting on team strategy, he noted, “The defensive attack was exquisite, however, of- fensively the team has to overcome the fear of shooting from the outside to set some real nifty records. Although the team posted a disappointing 5-14 record this season, their spirit and determination never lagged. Mr. “C felt that this, along with a gain in ex- perience, would be the key to the future suc- cess. He affirmed, “Because of the spirit displayed by the JV team this year, I feel Sayreville will surprise many people in the next few years with one of the strongest teams in the county. As hi directs the of game to a teammate, Coy proves he is he above the crowd. | SWMHS Sayreville W.M.H.S. Boys' JV Basketball OPPONENT I 30 Woodbridge 35 I 66 Edison 55 61 Colonia 55 I 64 J.P.

Boys’ JV Basketball 119 “The Boys’ Varsity Basketball team, pro- claimed first year Coach Breheney, “is a team of battlers. The guys always put forth a great deal of effort.” Despite this effort and a few late season successes, the squad, which suffered a shortage of height among players, could not pull it all together and salvage their 5-15 season. Leading the team to battle was captain Fred Krumbine, who also led in scoring with an average of 14 points per game, and in re- bounds with a mighty average of 6.3. Trailing a close second was Junior Paul Ortiz, who averaged 11.4 points and 6.2 rebounds per game. Other notable contributors includ- ed Jim Besso, Mike O’Hare, Jim Prusarczyk and Mike Cook. The early February contest against St. Mary’s proved to be the team’s greatest vic- tory, with a final score of 79-59, but greater satisfaction came as the Bombers triumphed over Madison Central during both of their confrontations. “Though we didn’t perform as well as we would have liked to,” Coach Breheney expressed, “the year shaped a good nucleus of players who received valuable experience which will surely be put to good use next season.” After scoring two points for the Bomber cause, Fred Krumbine tries to prevent an opponent from doing the same.

Powered by a crop of amphibious superstars, the 1982 squad overcame the hindrance of a small turnout and proved tough competition for each team they faced. Losing three meets by less than ten points, Sayreville always went down fighting. Commented Coach Tice, They are a small team, but strong. What they lack in pure numbers they make up for in quality.” Outstanding members comprising the team were Jeanne Holt in the breaststroke, Stacy Jablonski in the free-style and Reynee Borup in diving. These girls were each crowned county champion in their respective events. Considering this year’s schedule ver- sus more competitive teams, these feats are made more impressive. Also excelling were Chris Bloch and Ed Wolf, a record setting duo who competed in the butterfly and free-style events. In order to put together their skilled attack, team members practiced from 6 a.m. to 7 a.m., five days a week. Their work, however, did not go unrewarded. Concluded a weary Mary Beth O’Donnell, Whether it’s placing in a meet, working out in the pool or just hang- ing out with other team members, it's all worthwhile. Tfci gnctful ire of Reynee Borup's dive is a visual testament to her technical merit. Swimming 125 126 Faculty FACULTY Where would Sayreville’s students be without their faculty members? Pro- bably in places like McDonalds, Nunzio’s and Captain Video, spending money they don’t really have. Luckily for our wallets and our futures, SWMHS has a fine staff of workers, teachers and administrators, all of whom are dedicated to seeing each class graduate at the close of the year, preferably with a greater storehouse of knowledge than when they first arrived. Nevertheless, there are those students who fail to see the value of an effective, first rate faculty. Con- sidering that there are very few job op- portunities for professional pizza eaters and Space Invader specialists, its importance is made clear. Even more important, however, is what some faculty members teach us aside from names, formulas and equations. Our personalities and attitudes, our creativity and social behavior are each influenced by their guidance and examples. Perhaps we should be grateful there are individuals dedicated to educating today’s kids. Youth may shape our country’s future, but without teachers, the future would be in poor shape.

If a person has no spirit, maybe that person missed something.” Having missed nothing in his career in education however, Mr. Bauer has covered all aspects of his field. His long list of posi- tions includes five years of teaching in SWMHS in the sixties, four years as principal at Samsel School, seven years as principal at Roosevelt School, and two as vice prin- cipal at the Junior High. In his present position, Mr. Bauer is very satisfied with the status quo of SWMHS. “All schools could use some kind of improve- ment,” he remarked, “and this one is no ex- ception. Aside from minor problems, I feel the school is functioning effectively.” As effective as the school itself, Mr. Bauer plans to apply both his managerial expertise and his educational experience to create an even better SWMHS. Certainly the attitudes and goals of Mr. Dill and Mr. Bauer are a spirited and inspired combination. What is the result of combining Mr. Bauer and Mr. Dill? “Oh nooo” not Mr. Bill, but SWMHS’s formula for effective ad- ministrative leadership. With the departure of Dr. Parnell, the two have been promoted to vice-principal and principal respectively, and are taking on new challenges and setting new goals for themselves as well as their school. After thirty years of affiliation with SWMHS, Mr. Dill’s newly obtained position allows him to work toward his ultimate goal of establishing and retaining a positive relation- ship with as many students as possible. Honesty and fairness were evident when he noted “Talking to students on a one-to-one basis is a good experience, especially when I help them to work out problems.” Mr. Dill also commented about the lack of school spirit among Sayreville’s students. “School spirit is important,” he affirmed, “because it involves pride for your school and brings students together to exchange their ideas. It is an educational process that brings to life the kind of things that matter to all of us.” Mr. Bauer also feels strongly about spirit. “In general,” he added, “school spirit Faculty 129 As shallows of eirly evening creep into his office Mr. Bauer finishes his day’s work Mrs. Christine K Gola Mr. Daniel Newcomer Mrs. Marie L.

Our Special Someone Generally considered, the word “special” brings to mind the qualities of specific purpose, dedication and great importance and ability. Fitting this description ideally is Mrs. Bulla, one of SWMHS's newest additions to the special education department. Although she never intended to be a Special Education teacher, Mrs. Bulla’s career took a turn when she was called upon to substitute for a trainable mentally retarded class. After her first experience she began to take a serious interest in the area and became a preschool TMR teacher in the Perth Amboy school system.

Leone: MA — Counselor years ago, she began working in Sayreville where today she teaches three students from that first class in which she substituted. Over the years, Mrs. Bulla has been rewarded in many ways. She has enjoyed the experience of working with young people and has gained a sense of accomplishment and satisfaction through this. The opportunity to laugh along with her students and share in their achievements is another benefit which Mrs. Bulla has cherished. She expressed feelings about all her students when she said, “If you pass our class, it’s happiness you hear.” Mr. Vito Recine: R.P.T. — Athletic Trainer Mrs. Patricia Rhatican: BA — Nurse Mrs. Lorraine W.

Special Services First in First Aid Several years ago, the use of the term “athletic trainer” evoked blank stares and questions equivalent to “What’s that?” Today, however, the trainer is probably the most prestigious member of any coaching team, as those injured on the courts and fields depend entirely on his experience and expertise. Sayreville has its own sideline savior in Mr. Recine, who has spent twenty-five years in the field of athletic training. A graduate of the notable U.S. Naval Medical Corps School of Psycotherapy, he has worked with such figures as “Sugar Ray” Leonard and Leon Spinks. Mr. Recine attributes the growing impor- tance of his occupation to the increasing number of females entering sports. He is also quick to stress the importance of preven- tative practices in the area of athletics, and foresees the requirement of certification in training for all coaches in the future. As for the present, however, Sayreville’s sportsmen have certainly been made to feel more confident and less pain, thanks to Mr. Recine. Demonstrating his expertise as athletic trainer, Mr. Recine, supports an ailing ankle, as well as the Bomber squads. “Tiki two aspirins and call a doctor in the morning.' Mr. Kevin M.

Mr. Paul creates another project. Creative Craftsman It was David Everett who said: “Tall oaks from little acorns grow. This fact considered, one question arises. Where do these tall oaks go from there? Providing one feasible solution to this inquiry are the members of the Industrial Cooperative Efforts Program. Their mastery of woodworking and other crafts has contributed to several aspects of SWMHS life as we know it. “My students and I have always been will- ing to create, design or build any object for anyone who had the courtesy to ask, related Mr. Paul, director of the program. Among their accomplishments are the con- struction of a balance beam for the girls’ gymnastics team, the frames of the homecoming floats, and the scenery for the musical production. They also have prepared much of the special equipment needed for the Olympics of the Mind team. Notable was the “crusher upon which several hundred pounds of weight were piled without causing its breakage. Not all products of the program have been without trials. An amusing story involves this spring’s production of West Side Story. While in the audience, a horrified Mr. Paul noticed that the scenery was about to collapse. “Fortunately I was able to go the shop rooms, get my equipment, and repair the scenery before the start of the second act. Mr. Paul’s contributions to the school are both durable and tangible. SWMHS is for- tunate in having Mr. Paul and his thankfully cooperative efforts.

Welcome Back, Miss Sowa While it is an accepted fact that most of those who leave the classroom never return, an ex- ception is alive and flourishing in SWMHS. After an eleven year absence, Miss Sowa, who has spent that time as an ad- ministrative assistant under Dr. Parnell, was welcomed back to teaching by fellow faculty and students alike. “When the opportunity of being a teacher again was offered to me,” she reflected, “I was glad to take the job.” Wanting a career in education most of her life, Miss Sowa set her goals and began teaching math here, her alma mater, some twenty years ago. She also spent sixteen years as an adviser for the National Honor Society, and was a class adviser twice. On a more personal level, Miss Sowa openly divulged, “Eating is one of the joys of life.” Also near the top of her list of enjoyable activities are traveling, listening to classical music, and attending Broadway shows. Her pursuit of these activities as well as her suc- cessful assimilation back into the teaching profession has left Miss Sowa feeling con- tent.

Preserver of the Past Mrs. Baumann may not go down in history, but she certainly is up on the subject. Having studied the topic as one of her college majors, she now takes the interest one step further as a member of the Sayreville Historical Society, an organization dedicated to the preservation of our town’s past. “I joined SHS,” she explained, “because I feel that I am a part of this community, and I want to remain active in its functions.” As a member, Mrs. Baumann has headed such projects as the Bread Basket and several Christmas celebrations. The Bread Basket in- volved a collection of homemade breads and cakes to feed individuals reenacting the historic march preceding the Battle of Yorktown. This year’s Christmas celebration adapted to the melting pot theme and was more than a success. As for recent SHS pro- jects, one of the society’s most notable was its effort to save the tower of the Sayre and Fisher Brick Company. “The tower is a landmark which is truly reminiscent of old Sayreville. It was a project worthy of the community’s attention.” Current projects in- cluded the acquisition of a commemorative railroad bell once mounted on an engine located in front of the Crossman’s Company. Mrs. Baumann’s husband knew of this historic relic and interested the SHS in its preservation. Just this year the actual bell, purchased with community funds, was hous- ed in the Baumann home, awaiting its display stand to be completed before it went on display at the library. Back in school, Mrs. Baumann is the supervisor of the Language Arts departments of SWMHS as well as the junior high and helps oversee the Olympics of the Mind. At school or at leisure, she is certainly one in- dividual who cares about her community. LEFT: I don’t care if you like my slippers. You still have detention! declares Ms. Shur to Vince Kjersgaard.

Student-Teacher: A New Meaning It’s two forty-five p.m. and the mass of faculty members at SWMHS are starting to head for home. They arrive at their respective houses and begin going about their individual afternoon routines. Dinner is at five, followed by an all too exciting evening of grading papers and planning the following day’s lessons. “But wait, what’s this?” ask- ed an interested bystander. Why, it’s Ms. Logan racing into New York City to attend her law classes. That’s right. Four nights each week and on weekends, Ms. Logan reverses her familiar teaching role and becomes a student at the New York Law School. Here she has studied for the past two years, and will con- tinue to do so until she earns her degree. “Eventually I hope to practice law full time, but I like teaching as much as I like law. Maybe I’ll do both,’’ she continued, “but I will have to start at the bottom and eventually work my way up to courtroom work and litigation. Whatever her choice is, Ms. Logan will certainly be able to defend her decision. v Faculty 141 A grin comes to the face of Liz Hardy as Ms. Carosh reveals the mistakes on her accounting ledger.

Dr. Marotta appears surprised as he’s interrupted by a student seeking a different kind of assistance. Real People What are teachers? We don’t real- ly know but rumor has it they are living, breathing people, with eyes and blood and EVERYTHING. Sometimes, however, students forget this and we need a little something like this article to remind ourselves. But wait, this isn’t to say that the students’ misconception is totally unjustified. There are those few rare teachers who have their quirks and idiosyncracies. For instance, there's the professor. This type starts lectur- ing at the sound of the bell, and continues until the end of the period. Unfortunately, most students aren’t prepared to take notes until five minutes into class, and are set to leave ten minutes before it ends. This usually results in mass ignorance on the students’ part, and the boggling of the teacher’s mind as to why. Next, there’s the popular teacher who must have had his or her name and class number posted on the boys’ bathroom wall. He or she would always receive mysterious phone calls from a phantom dialer, and give such puzzling answers to his questions as “wine vinegar , “the spoils system and “not tonight, I have a class.” Thirdly, there’s the strict teacher. This par- ticular variety delights in raising his or her voice at just the right time to cause the sud- den heart and lung failure of the more nerv- ous students in the room. They can do things with their eyes that were thought to be physically impossible and usually do so at the expense of student pride and productivity. Contrasting the strict variety is the “easy teacher. This, surprisingly enough, is the favorite among students, owing somewhat to the fact that his or her class usually involves ten minutes of work with “creative learning devices (word search puzzles), and then thirty minutes of study hall. This, however, is only on busy days. Busy or slow, what day would be com- plete without the uniqueness of our teachers? Students may be the majority in SWMHS, but in review, one must admit that teachers are a very diverse and human minority. Ms. Charlotte Carosh Mrs. Patricia A.

As sophomores, each student had to readjust his ways to smooth the transition from the highest position in the Junior High to the lowest in SWMHS. Hallways packed with threateningly tall bodies, classes run by stricter teachers, and that new and inflexible absentee policy were enough to make any red-blooded sophomore yearn for an upper, more experienced rank in their new place of learning. The class of ’83, also, was not without its trials and tribulations. This year, as always, the junior class found itself sandwiched in the fine slot between the innocence of their past year’s selves, and the experience of the class ahead of them. Nothing felt worse than seeing the upperclassmen leave at 12:09 PM, unless, of course, it was a sophomore getting away with some ugly deed because “he didn’t know the rules.” The juniors wanted one thing, and that was to be seniors. By the year’s end, the underclassmen got their wishes, as each class moved up a rung on the SWMHS ladder. Each rung had its benefits, but it always seemed that the next one had more. So grow up, sophomores and juniors, and be hap- py where you are. A great part of the buying and selling of yearbooks involved the underclass. Here Karen Marino helps her anxious friend fill out the complicated yearbook receipt.

Their keen sense of what is exciting has shown through in their choice of fund-raisers, particularly the sale of festive Easter cookies. The highlight of the sophomore year, as always, was the buying and selling of class rings. The whole operation took much effort and organization, but the students conquered the task smoothly and easily. Leading the way for the class of ’84 were President Darren Locklin, Vice-President Sue Kravec, Secretary Elisa Unkel, and Treasurer Tony Viola. Offering support and suggestions were class advisors, Mrs. Jardula, Mrs. Ludlow, Miss Johnson, and Ms. Carosh. Each of these, along with the sophomore homeroom representatives, took part in the decision which named Pirates of Penzance as the theme for their float. Although they got off to a shaky start, the members of the class of ’84, pitched in, making their float a success. As Mrs. Jardula put it, “I’m enjoying working with the sophomores. They're a very cohesive group and their enthusiasm is catching.” In summation, one true blue (and grey) sophomore exclaimed, “We’re a proud class, and we’ll carry our pride into our junior year!” 152 Sophomores Middle of the Road; Second to None eing a junior is like playing B monkey in the middle. On one hand — they retain some of the restrictions of being a sophomore while also maintaining the responsibilities of seniors. Helping to make this difficult game easier were the junior class officers and advisors. Class President Jay Medlin, Vice-President Terri Kellert, Treasurer Bob Gullo and Secretary Judy Berardicelli, as well as ad- visors Mrs. Moore, Mrs. Groncki, Mrs. Lasko and Mrs. Gola spent long hours planning the events that made this junior year more en- joyable. These included the preparation of the prom and the class float, which effective- ly depicted the eerie theme of Dracula by utilizing a casket that opened to reveal the master of the undead. In order to raise enough money to spon- sor their activities, the juniors sold both Christmas and Easter candy. Mrs. Moore commented on the enthusiasm of the juniors, “Although we had a lot of planning and work to do this year we also had a lot of fun. Class Competition A War of Words hat’s short, insignificant, and W takes a lot of abuse from seniors? If you said the life of the typical Sayrevillian mayfly, you not only think too much, but you’re wrong. The answer, of course, is the underclassman, that bothersome mass of protoplasm that thinks it’s an adult just because it’s taking business courses. The underclassman is a fascinating little fellow, though, with both a keen sense of direction that usually finds the first year history student heading for the Shell station, and an extraordinary knack for imitating the dressing habits of seniors, except for their hopeless inability to part with their Garanimal pullovers, usually the ones with the little hippos. Another telltale sign of the underclassman is the mixing of curse words with such phrases as, “It’s MY bubblegum!’’ “That’s what YOU think!” and “You give me my Twinkie back or I'll punch you REAL HARD!” Now don’t be fooled into thinking all underclassmen are exactly alike. There are different kinds, just as there are different kinds of seniors. For instance, there is the advanced variety, who sit at lunch discuss- ing current political issues, and then blow bubbles in their milk. Then there's the athletic type, who can usually be found standing around after school wearing gym shorts for no apparent reason. Lastly, there’s the toughy. He’ll be the one wearing a denim jacket that his mom picked out from the Sears Wish Book, and saying funny things like, “Wouldn't it be a blast if there were Heinekin in the soda machines?” So there you have it, your personal guide to spotting underclassmen. If any sophomores or juniors have taken offense, just remember, in a year or two, you’ll be up- perclassmen, and we'll be in college taking the same kind of abuse you’re taking now. Until then, eat right, take your Flintstones with extra C, and someday you’ll be seniors. eniors schmeniors! Who died and made you upperclassmen? Besides, you're all ugly and wear dopey clothes. And speaking of clothing, we may wear Garanimals, but at least we can match the tags. Zebras go with zebras, you know? And hey, big shots, you were underclassmen once (twice really), or has the exhaust from those “classic” cars you all drive dulled your memories? And about those four-wheeled beauties, where’d some of you learn to drive, Barbizon? Ah, yes, about the pep rally. Let us just say this. It’s fixed and everyone knows it. By the way, what happened to your voices that day — big mean boy sitting next to you think you're not cool because you showed a little school spirit? Or maybe you just can't spell “seniors.” And one more thing, we too have noticed three distinct versions of our rival schoolmates. First, we see the popular students. These are bubbly, nicely groomed and have smiles that look as though they were painted on, and by our further inspec- tion, we’ve noticed some of them actually were. Next, coincidentally, there is the ad- vanced variety. They have this remarkable ability to find parallel meaning between such ideas as the plight of the modern day WASP in socially deprived humanity and just why that rabbit can’t get a hold of some Trix. Lastly, and again, there is the tough senior. He’ll be the one wearing a denim jacket stolen from one of us. So there YOU have it, our guide to spotting one of you. You all think'you’re so smart. You think you can just put us down and get away with it. You think you can print derogatory remarks about us in your year- book. Well, joke’s on you. We’re doing the same to you. You’re getting what you all deserve. What? What do you mean this isn’t getting printed?

It’s only Sandy Ceres taking a much needed rest from the tedium of a schoolday in her study hall. Seniors 160 Seniors As the class of '82 passes from a world of textbooks and teachers to the more realistic world of families and careers, each of its members takes with him a storehouse of facts and figures which is sure to be beneficial in the coming years. While a portion of what is learned in high school will certainly be forgotten later in life, there are those bits of information which are sure to come in handy at some point in one’s existence. Take, for instance, that quadratic equation. One can only guess as to the number of homeowners who will utilize this gem of an equation to simplify those odd jobs around the home. And how about those laws of physics? Certainly there’s no housewife who hasn’t applied one of these to the problem of how to combat greasy brown buildup on her range top. Even more useful, however, is the ability to recite a few lines of classical poetry, because who knows how many opportunities there are to put a good line of poetry to practical use. Last, and pretty much least, is the wealth of usable information one learns in a history class. Just think, if some game show host ever calls you on the phone and asks you to list the provisions of the Louisiana Purchase for money, you’ll know right away. So don’t take the education you’ve received lightly. As seniors you have the op- portunity to put it to good use. Just think maybe someday, you’ll become famous because of what you’ve accomplished, and then some poor high school student in the next century will have to memorize your name and why you were important. Oopsl Julia Brady smiles in astonishment as the fruits of Senior victory, the nefarious Bad Cat trophy, crumble in her hands. Seniors 161 Valedictorian Celeste Delgatto Salutatorian Jim Conners Till compilatloa of SWMHS students ranking three through ten prove they're “with-it . But is there another reason for holding that particular cover? Hmm, it all adds up ... 3 — Laureen Drwal, 4 — Scott Huguenin, 5 — Anthony Matagrano, 6 — Chris Gronsky, 7 — Denise Malik, 8 — Elise Kowzan, 9 — Lenora Sadowski, 10 — Lisa Anne Helpa. 162 Seniors One of the more involved members of the senior class, Valerie Kubisiak smiles as she reminisces on her par- ticipation throughout her three years in high school. LiaviRg urly. a special senior privilege, allows Marie Delmotte, Sharon Hrankowski and Ellen Pytel to pursue part-time jobs and leisure time activities. A few words of wisdom from the top ten members of the class of ’82: Valedictorian Celeste DelGatto was very proud of her number one position. “It is a great honor to be valedictorian of SWMHS,” she stated, “This, along with being president of the Student Council, is the most fulfilling experience of my life.” Salutatorian Jim Conners, who was equally gratified with his number two position, ex- pressed, “It makes me feel all the work I did was for some worthwhile purpose.” Third ranked humorist Laureen Drwal felt hers was the ideal position because “it’s the highest you can get without having to make a speech.” Although satisfied with being number four, IdJords lAJiidom Scott Huguenin regretted that his “rank was not a prime number.” Left speechless by his number five posi- tion, Anthony Matagrano justified his lack of comment in saying, “I’m going to be a math major.” Also looking toward the future, sixth rank- ed Chris Gronsky felt, “Although high school gives you the opportunity to prepare for col- lege and be with friends, I feel college will be more worthwhile because it will allow me to study exclusively for my career choice.” Denise Malik, number seven in the top ten, saw her ranking as proving her theory that “seven is my lucky number.” When funny person Elise Kowzan was asked for a few words about herself, she responded, “What? You want a quote, Vadis?” “I was really surprised to find out I was number nine,” revealed Lenora Sadowski, “Since finding out, I have been seriously thinking about my future plans. I may end up in college yet! Offering a final analysis of success in high school, tenth ranked Lise Anne Helpa main- tained, “I believe a good education is essen- tial in attaining a future goal. I am honored to be recognized as one of those students who worked hard during my high school years in order that I will have a secure future.” Whatever the future holds, it is likely that these individuals are going to remain at the top. Seniors 163 Profile Mirror, mirror on the wall. Who’s the funniest girl of all? Connie Regelski, of course, shown curling her hair after convinc- ing her homeroom teacher of its necessity to her busy day. “Why did the monkey fall out of the tree? He was dead. Ha, ha! Why did the bird fall out of the tree? He was holding on to the monkey. Ha, ha! The laugh is part of the charm, especially if the laugh is one of the happiest and most contagious kind — the kind that spreads itself throughout the room, and the kind that is possessed by SWMHS’s resident jokester, Connie Regelski. Connie began telling jokes during a three month period in tenth grade over which she spent almost every afternoon in a dental of- fice. Owing to the rapid efficiency of her den- tist, she was never able to complete a standard magazine article, so she took to reading Highlights for Children. “I found the twenty-seven hidden objects in the picture first, and then turned to the riddles. The overall stupidity of the jokes amused Connie so much that she wanted to share them with everyone. From then on, those students in her homeroom periods were fated to morning laughter and excitement, mostly projected from Connie herself. According to her, “I have to follow each with a good laugh, other- wise it’s not effective. And speaking of bananas, “Why does Connie Regelski like them so much? Hurry and ask her, or you may never find the answer to this appealing riddle.

Bottomly Jim Romer's conception of the Sayreville bomber. Melissa Bobbins Holly Bocson John Boda Linda Bodnar While the creation of life from non-living materials has yet to be mastered by biologists and researchers, there is a talented senior in our school who has created life and character with only a pencil and paper. Jim Romer (above), our resident animator, has produced with his pen over 2000 cartoon characters, all named, and all original. Jim’s interest in animation was launched mainly by reading comic books and it has grown to become his number one pastime. Most of the artwork he produces is of this genre; only occasionally does he do realistic work. With time and perseverance, Jim hopes to pursue a career in cartooning. Ideally, his dream is to someday work in the Walt Disney Animation Studios. Jim offers this philosophy when asked about his talent, “Anyone interested in art must understand that they cannot truly be taught to draw better. People can be taught dimensions, shapes, shading and the use of equipment, but it’s their own style and im- agination that really count.” It’s obvious that style and imagination are two qualities that Jim Romer has in abundance.

Among these few, however, is Diane Chudkowski (right), who prompts these responses each time she dons costume and performs her Bingo the Clown routine at New Brunswick’s Ground Round. As Bingo, Diane is able to utilize those of her personal qualities which she feels help to make her ideal for this role. “I’m happy and outgoing and cheerful,” she affirmed, “and I can juggle. My friends say that the job really fits me.” Apparently, she and her friends know what they are talking about, as Bingo has built up a fan club consisting of children who, on a regular basis, return to the restaurant and ask for her. Diane has also taken her act out on the road, having performed at the New Brunswick October Fest and entertained children at several of the area’s day care centers. “The audiences really enjoy my act,” she stated, “and it’s a good feeling to know that you've made others happy.” Looking into the future, Diane foresees college and a major in child psychology. “I think I’m going to have a career working with people, probably children,” she concluded. As for her experiences as a clown, Diane simply smiled and said, “Everybody should try it.” Erin Carney Ronald Carstens Tony Castronovo Cynthia L. Cerase Holly A.

With machete in hand, I carefully made my way through the brush and tall grass. With each footstep I neared my destination. My heart raced as I saw, peering through the plant life, a face. “Brett Klaproth, I presume?” I cried. “Indeed,” he replied stoically. “Follow me.” He led me across muddy terrain, barren tundra and swampy marsh until we reached a small body of water. “Where are we?” I queried. “My backyard, he answered. Yes, it was true. We were in the midst of the infamous Klaproth Turtle Pond, a com- plete ecosystem dedicated to the preserva- tion of various and sundry turtles and tor- toises. “It’s as close to their natural habitat as you can get,” Brett explained. The pond facilitates the study of turtles and their behavior in captivity. “Aside from occasional feedings and a few mishaps with a volleyball,” he added, “its inhabitants re- main unaffected by anything outside the house walls.” While the expense of feeding and accom- modating 20 different species of turtles, ranging from the common boxer to the more rare African Leopard Tortoise, may be ex- pensive, Brett finds that the end justifies the means. “It’s a lot of time and money, but if you put enough into something, you’re going to be rewarded. In the field, Brett has worked with state en- vironmentalists to record and observe the endangered turtles of this region. “It’s all very interesting, if you like turtles.” Our journey ended as we were on our way out of the brush. Suddenly, from behind a stalk of leafy growth, emerged a large snap- ping turtle with menace in his eyes. Startled, I reared back with a look of dismay. Brett moved forward and, with a gentle yet firm grip, picked up the turtle. “Turtles are our friends,” he assured soothingly. JIM CIRKO: 51 Such St., Parlin.

Taking part in this ac- tivity were seniors Patti Kirk, Celeste DelGat- to, Mike Wasko, Wayne Locklin, Mark Newcomer and Warren Clark, each of whom had the opportunity to see the government work on local, county and state levels. Cam- paigns, elections, and lectures constituted a major part of the daily schedule, while the evenings were devoted to recreation and recuperation from daytime involvement. The individuals invited to participate in these conferences were chosen on the basis of their outstanding citizenship, leadership, and scholastic involvement. All participants were given an opportunity to participate as adult political figures. Patti Kirk, elected as County Treasurer, divides her time between the business management of Quo Vadis and the tracing of her family tree as a Gifted and Talented project. Elected as the Secretary of the Board of Freeholders, Celeste DelGatto also holds a high ranking position in SWMHS as President of the Student Council. “Girls' State,” she recalled, “was a very rewarding experience that everyone should have the opportunity to take part in.” Gymnastics and track team member, Mike Wasko had fun at Boys’ State, where he was given a position on the Board of Education. Sergeant at Arms and Councilman Wayne Locklin is Vice Presi- dent of the Student Council and a member of the football team. Appointed as Superinten- dent of Schools, Warren Clark spends his time at SWMHS as Editor-in-Chief of Echo Lites and Short Story Editor of Images. Councilman Mark Newcomer, who par- ticipates in Bomber soccer, basketball and golf, offered the most profound evaluation of his own experience: “I found Boys’ State to be a learning experience I could use throughout my adult life.” BOYS’ AMD GIRLS' STATE: FRONT ROW: Mike Wasko.

Compare this scene to one in which a group of children are busily playing in a park. One might wonder what these two images could possibly have in common. The answer would be Michelle Matt (left). Michelle has been working with the blind for the past three years, ever since her first and most memorable Lions Club party. “I was talking to a guy there,” she recalled, and I never realized he was blind until a friend told me. It was both a surprising and rewarding experience.” Since that incident, Michelle has volunteered for several other parties for the blind and has worked with people in hospitals and with the deaf. “I think it’s im- portant to get involved. I even learned a little sign language,” she stated. During the summer, Michelle became in- volved in yet another phase of helping others. Employed by the borough, she spent the days of her vacation working with children in Sayreville’s parks. ”1 taught them and read to them,” she remembered, “and tried to get the quieter ones to come out of their shells. I love having friends, and I try to help the kids experience the same feelings.” Don Fruehwirth Christine Gallagher John Gallagher Ken Gallagher Michele Garbowski Kathy Garnett Joanne Geipel Joseph Geletei Scott W.

Glenn Seniors 175 Jim Godowski John Golaszewski Beth Gold Bernice Golla Profile flo Spin ecidion The life of a successful musician consists of about eight hours work per week, five full days of fun and relaxation at the resort of one’s choice and plenty of cash, right? Well, Dave Sabo, though as split over the draw of big city lights and high voltage romance associated with the life of the modern musi- cian as any one of us, wouldn't change his decision about his career choice. Dave trained under a recording engineer at the Chelsea Studio in New York City, played lead guitar in local “heavy metal” band, Split Decision, and completed his student career at SWMHS — concurrently. Industrious Dave, when he has the time, works on original material. Some songs take less than two hours, while others aren’t complete after six months, Dave admits. Of the effort and time he’s already invested in his career, Dave seems enthused: “It all boils down to how bad you want it.” Dave wants success badly; however, he appears to be a typically “laid back” SWMHS senior. He explained that the kinds of recording he becomes involved with incor- porate up to thirty-two tracks whereas home recorders utilize two tracks. His goals include working closely with the record producers he views as the true “bosses” in the musical world, a point of view almost too realistic to emanate from a young man with a nonchalant confidence and a band named Split Decision. So far, Dave’s biggest boost in the musical world was his meeting with Mick Jagger. Someday Sayreville may boast the birth of a superstar. Whether or not Dave has that shining potential remains a “split decision.” Wendy Good Kris Gorka Sharon Grabas Allison Graf 176 Seniors JIM GODOWSKI: 18 Glenwood Ave., Sayre.

No, it’s not impossible, it’s improvisation, and as a gesture, Hedy Roma has triumphantly mastered this difficult technique. Beginning over the summer by enrolling in a mime and creative movement course at Rutgers, Hedy’s talents have grown as rapid- ly as her interests. Along with partner Andrea Spiegel, she has successfully performed her act on stage before responsive audiences at the high school and several of the local elementary schools. Motivated by the in- . terests of some of those who enjoyed her performance, Hedy hopes to establish a troop of mime artists here in Sayreville. “It would be great to introduce this new creative form to those who haven’t yet discovered it,” she related enthusiastically. While Hedy’s major interest lies in the acting field, she also has a special flair for creative writing. The combination of these talents, she hopes, will someday earn her a degree in broadcasting. No doubt, we haven’t heard the last of Hedy Roma (right). LAURA HAMMER: 6 Gorczyca Place, Sayre. Spanish Club 2. KIT HAMPSON: 38 Eisenhower Dr., Sayre. Pi! Band 2, 3, 4; Marching Band 3, 4; DECA 4.

This three-legged Sayreville-ite displays a current rage. Have you all heard there's a fifty percent markdown on skateboards, pet rocks and mood rings at Woolco?” Upon hearing this inquiry, one question should come to mind — this being, Who really cares?” Well, years ago, this spectacular sale would probably have interested most students more than they can now remember. Times change, however, and with the changing times come changing interests, at- tractions and opinions. These things which rise and fall in popularity within short periods of time are collectively known as fads, and whether they be exciting new pastimes or in- triguing new products, fads can describe a time period as accurately as a passage from a history book or even an outstanding yearbook. Among the things which declined in popularity during the 81-82 school year were designer jeans, Space Invaders, Rubik’s Cube and Saturday Night Live. These old standards did not go unreplaced, however, as this past year ushered in the likes of rain- bows, knickers, Pac Man and that little blue ambassador from Mushroom Land, the Smurf. Home video systems, patterned shoelaces and Raiders of the Lost Ark also made their debut this past year, as did an en- tire season’s worth of new television shows, none of which are worth mentioning. Whether an individual enjoys none, one or all of the aforementioned items, they are here to stay, at least for a few months. And by the way, for those of you who are wondering why there were no soap operas listed, it’s because the shows are falling apart and their scripts aren't feasible. Face it folks, when a serious drama resorts to creating a character that can control the weather, it’s dead.

Seniors 181 Profile Sportsmanship encompasses both ability and attitude and Cindy Allman (right) gets a high rating in both areas. During her athletic career, Cindy has been honored many times for various achievements. As a sophomore, she was chosen to play guard with the American Athletic Union. She was also elected to the All-County Basketball Team in her sophomore year as a guard and in her junior year as a forward. She won similar distinc- tion as an All-State player. Yet Cindy’s goal is not to receive praise or honors, but to enjoy yQ Shooti n9 her own athletic involvement and team in- teraction. “It gets me involved with some special individuals,” she related, “and I feel I benefit from being able to associate with dedicated, hardworking people.” A special athlete herself, Cindy has demonstrated both love for and dedication to basketball. Her most noted achievement was the accumulation of 1000 points in her junior year. Her abilities and interests, however, ex- tend beyond the basketball court. “I played varsity softball in my freshman year,” she stated, “but switched to track because I wanted to learn something new.” By the end of her second season, Cindy held the school record for throwing the javelin. An excellent example of a true athlete, Cin- dy enjoys just playing tennis and practicing her basketball skills in her spare time. However, there is more to Cindy than her in- volvement with the various games. Chosen for her outstanding leadership, she par- ticipated in a special citizenship program at Douglass College last year. Also an in- teresting and invigorating conversationalist, Cindy is truly a well-rounded sportswoman. Allison Kimball Lisa Kirk Patricia A.

Although there are those who have touted the class of 1982 as the absolute “worst, there are those who see differently. These people have looked beyond the obvious sur- face appearances to the deeper substance of this year's senior class. “The kids in the class of '82 put their energies toward positive things. They’ve taken the energy they have and put it into enthusiastic ap- proaches. For instance, they’ll wait until the last minute to do everything but they get it done and it looks pretty nice,” emphasized senior class adviser Miss Lamprecht who, along with Miss Nowicki, Mrs. Kaskoff and Mrs. McCormack, has been willing to dig a lit- tle harder than most people into the heart and soul of the class of 1982 Any endeavors undertaken by the seniors were supervised by the advisers as well as the class officers. President Tricia Carlesimo, Vice President Julie Brady, Treasurer Jody Kabat and Secretaries Holly Bocson and Jeannie Holt planned the activities that lent excitement to the otherwise dull moments of the year. In order to offset the cost of both the prom and graduation, the seniors took charge of the concessions at the home foot- ball and basketball games. Regardless of the difficult times when teachers and parents felt it couldn’t be done, the class of '82 proved itself by surviving through their trying high school years. From the sale of light bulbs in 10th grade to the finality of the graduation ceremony, the seniors overcame all odds to achieve their many and various goals. As Miss Lamprecht put it, “I’ve found them to be very sensitive to tragedies as well as good things. I think the seniors are a pretty neat bunch of people.” Warren Luther Christa Lytkowski Kathy McCloud Caroline McCurdy Phil McCuctheon Dan McGotty Todd McGrath Kathleen McHugh Tim McKeon Cathi McLean Karen Ann Mackiewicz Linda Maher Seniors 185 Denise Malik Terri Mallia Barbara M.

For those of you who weren’t, she's Dawn Ciavarro, graduate of Barbizon and employee of New York City’s Mystique Modeling Agency. For the past two years, Dawn has spent a few hours each week working on ads, pos- ing for photographers and participating in beauty pageants. Among her most coveted titles are those of Miss Hemisphere, Miss Tri- State Hemisphere and winner of the 1981 New York City Columbus Day Pageant. She also appeared as an extra in the movie “Times Square”, an experience which she remembers as “incredible. It was fascinating to see how a motion picture is made.’’ Dawn’s future plans include college and a major in interior or fashion design. “After- wards, she proclaimed, “I plan to be a fulltime high fashion model and have the op- portunity to travel around the world! As for Dawn’s chances for success, keep a sharp eye on popular magazine covers, and some- day maybe you’ll see this familiar face (right). DENISE MALIK: 20 Thompson, Parlin.

Take, for instance, a typical Friday eve- ning at Brunswick Square. A usual route finds you and your friends harassing a few kittens in the pet shop, emptying your pockets of some unneeded quarters at Fun-n-Games and stopping off for a pretzel at that place you didn't know had a name. Chances are along the way you’ll bump into somebody whom you recognize as a Sayreville student. A simple nod will usually do for a greeting, and then both parties can move on. Perhaps a next stop will be at Spencers or Oriental Pearl, where the group attempts to identify the blonde on the poster in the window. After some stimulating conversation, it’s on to Far- rell’s for a sundae, or maybe a “zoo” if there’re enough of you. Isn’t it funny how you never went to Farrell’s unless it was someone’s birthday? Anyway, it’s the next night, a Saturday, and you and your friends arrive at Wood- bridge Center. Upon entering the mall, one usually begins browsing through a few places of interest, seeing what’s what, but rarely making a purchase. Passing by one ot the stores, you notice a friend hard at work stocking shelves. You stop to converse until his or her boss starts walking circles around the two of you — a good sign for your friend to get back to work. Say good-bye and it’s on to Sam Goody to pick up those albums you’ve been saving for, and then maybe to Swiss Colony for a free sample or two. Pass- ing by Sterns, you wonder if anyone ever goes into the five large stores at the ends of each wing. Regardless, it’s 9:20 and the crowd is starting to thin. Now all you have to do is find the entrance near where your car is parked. Good luck, and come again. 188 Seniors Mark D.

Mark’s benefits in this program include ac- cess to sophisticated photography equip- ment, training in the processes involved in using such equipment, and possible references leading to a career in this field. 1 About four years ago, Mark (right) got in- volved in graphic arts through a course sponsored by Dupont on a yearly basis. He held the position of President of Dupont Graphic Arts Explorer Post 243 for over two years. This group met weekly to benefit the individuals involved in “exploring” their abilities in graphic arts. Mark stressed his own involvement in the architectural design aspect of the process. Two of the many projects recently produced by the group in- clude a safety brochure and a calendar, both profitably sold to Dupont employees. Given the opportunity, Mark may make a graphic “mark” on the community.

The cloud faded, revealing the steadily approaching figures of Brandy and Black Bart. This may seem like a scene from the Old West, but actually it’s one from the old boatyard where Denise Brown (left) houses her two horses. “I got Brandy four years ago,” she re- called fondly, “and since then he’s become accustomed to being ridden by me only.” As a result of this, Denise's riding partner, Shelly Sabine, frequently accompanies her on Black Bart. The two ride locally, and occa- sionally turn up in such unlikely locales as Clare and Coby’s and the drive-thru window at Burger King. For now, Denise is content with her two pleasure horses, but ultimately, she revealed, “I’d like to own a stable and keep as many as thirty horses under my care.” “Until then,” she went on, “I’ll be happy,” and she rode off into the sunset. 192 Seniors Broad smiles illustrate the enjoyment which Chris Gronsky (left) and Wendy Sorenson (right) derive from vocalizing.

All-State Chorus — Don’t let the name fool you, because although hopefuls from all over New Jersey competed for the honor, only a handful of select individuals secured places for themselves in this prestigious musical ensemble. Among these were SWMHS represen- tatives Wendy Sorenson and Chris Gronsky, both altos and both naturally talented vocalists. Wendy and Chris spent many hours preparing for what they described as grueling auditions testing the abilities in all aspects of singing from scales to tonal memory. Aside from the All-State Chorus, Wendy and Chris are involved in other activities. Both are members of the All-County Chorus and Wendy had the prestige of being chosen to the All-Eastern Chorus while Chris was selected as an alternate. Their musical ability encompasses more than the vocal realm. Wendy Sorenson, a noteworthy leader, was drum majorette in this year’s marching band as well as a flutist with the concert band. Chris’ talents extend to playing both the flute and folk guitar. Both Wendy and Chris enjoyed their in- volvement in the All-State Chorus which was highlighted by a trip to Atlantic City with the opportunity to sing for the NJ State Teachers’ Convention. However, the most enjoyable aspect was their exposure to dif- ferent people and different musical styles. As Chris commented, “All-State will help me in the future because I picked up techniques from other teachers and students which can only help me improve.” Seniors 195 f Colici Cjofd s4n5werA Wax pencils and inspiration help J. P. Jones to give a colorful response to his Quo Vadis questionnaire. Not everyone in SWMHS takes home trophies, ribbons or certificates, but there is hardly a soul who hasn’t been rewarded by some aspect of their lives as Sayreville students as Quo Vadis found out while review- ing the responses to its “most rewarding ex- perience survey. Michelle O'Boyle, for instance, found her most rewarding experience to be “just being in this school. John Paul Jones, on the other hand, was rewarded by his participation in SWMHS’s theatrical performances and the friendships which grew out of this. Scott Hamma found all of his experiences equally rewarding and Hedy Roma offered this analysis: “The most rewarding aspect of my high school life was making the connections to grow beyond what was offered in the blacks and whites of schoolness toward my rainbow of sorts. Catherine Giamboi found not being nominated for homecoming queen to be her most rewarding experience and Bill Ryan ate his way to euphoria with the forty lunch club. Jim Zarrick enjoyed being suspended for a week and Rob Chiarello was delighted by a parking ticket. Ken Sumski didn’t remember his most rewarding experience and Tom Rolzhausen played it safe by responding “no comment. Passing this-or-that pulled in quite a large amount of votes, as did meeting people and making friends. John Sukunda was unique, however, in responding, “filling out this year- book survey form. As proved, rewarding experiences can be as diversely rewarding as students themselves. Certainly high school is as rich with these experiences as it is with golden opportunities.

Why don’t our SWMHS ceiling lights spin like the ones in Casablanca? As high school students, each of us has been called upon to provide the correct answers to question after question during what seemed to have been a never ending test of our knowledge, logic and memories. There are, however, those questions pertain- ing to SWMHS which have gone unanswered. While none of these actually has any real significance, we decided to list the most puzzling ones for you to ponder on those lonely Friday nights when, for whatever reason, you have nothing better to do. Our favorites are: Why does it take two weeks for a teacher to return an essay which takes a student one night to write? What pur- pose do the gates on School Drive serve? Do the bells ring when we’re not here? What ever happened to air raid drills? Is it true that they rerun announcements over the loud speaker on days when nothing interesting is happening? What is the redeeming value of line soccer? Isn’t it rude to ignore the fire alarm? What ever happened to the elephant that was supposed to pull the senior float? Did he forget? Why do the heaters blow cold air in the middle of January? Does anyone obey the “one-way” signs in the parking lot? What does “Quo Vadis” actually mean? Who cares? 198 Seniors RALPH STARACE: 29 Merritt Ave., S. Amboy. BOB STARY: 26 Latham Circle, Parlin. JAMES STAVOLA: 20 Wilson Ave., Parlin. Baseball 2, 3, 4. LINDA STECKERT: 29 Fielek Terr., Parlin.

That's right, only a few short days to get all your friends to sign this book, and only a few short days to take care of all the unfinished business you have here at SWMHS. So go ahead and tell that special teacher what you really think of him or her. What the heck, you’ll never see the person again. And while you’re at it, why not tell that obnoxious guy or girl you've been tolerating for so long but really can’t stand that he or she churns the chyme in your stomach. And you know how you’ve been wanting to pour ketchup in the coin return slot in one of the pay phones? (Sure you have.) Well, who would know? And what about your gym locker? You know, those 100 cubic inches of spacious nothing. Why not try cramming something useful in there, like the head of the guy who designed it so small. And finally, why not think about something profound during your next minute of medita- tion — just to see what it’s like? It may be your last chance to do that, you know. And, ah yes, while you’re taking care of all these little matters, why not devote a few minutes to complimenting your favorite yearbook editor. After all, somebody’s got to do it.

So here, for your reading pleasure, is a list of terms and phrases which were previously omitted: red light, green light, 1, 2, 3, lightning bugs, daylight savings time, “lighten up,” lightning rod, aurora borealis, flashbulbs, that unwanted glare, darkness (as a contrast), neon-a noble gas, lighter fluid, French contemporary porcelain lamp with a mauve colored shade — pleated and with an ivory lace border, electrolytes, Pepsi-Lite, Light Brite, Light Beer from Miller, “Oh say can you see by the dawn’s early light,” “C’mon Baby, Light my fire,” and finally, “shut off that light!” We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. 202 Closing Dkanln fo tlie W emoned Approximately 350 hours were devoted to the production of Quo Vadis ’82, and an ap- proximated 150 more were devoted to goof- ing off and having a good time during what were supposed to have been seriously func- tioning meetings. Despite our time and effort, however, those of us working on the year- book could not have accomplished what we did without the assistance of several more than cooperative individuals. It is for this reason that we offer our sincere thanks ... to Mr. Geletei, for developing photographs ... to Greg Costich, for his photographic assistance ... to Cathy Donoghue, for our cover concept ... to Chris Gronsky for her letter designs ... to Mr. Paul, for the letter cut-outs ... to Jim Romer, for his artwork ... to Mrs. Lasko, for use of her room as a quiet place to work ... to Mrs. Schwenk, for the use of the typing room ... to Miss Lam- precht, for all her support, cooperation and extra food ... to Mrs. Jardula, for letting us come in early with no questions asked ... to the Senior Class, for its generous financing of the senior names on the cover ... to the Girls’ Gymnastics team, for their donation of photographs ... to the secretaries, for all of their special favors ... to the custodians, for allowing us to stay late on deadline eves ... to all the students, faculty members and ad- ministrators, for giving us their time when we needed it ... to all the parents who put up with us during our home meetings ... to all the individuals who helped make our door decorating contest a success ... and especially to Ms. Bittle, who gave us the freedom to make Quo Vadis '82 a yearbook which we believe truly reflects the outlooks and opinions of our peers. 1982 n n Managing Editor Elise Kowzan Assistant, Scott Huguenin Copy Editor Brett Klaproth Layout Editor Scott Huguenin Activities Student Life Editors Jessica Bauer Coleen Bloodgood Senior Editor Charlotte Hall Assistant, Susan Miller Curriculum Faculty Editor Andrew Maze Sports Editors Rohit Shah MaryBeth O’Donnell Typing Editors Lynn Osnato Coleen Bloodgood Business Manager Patti Kirk Photography Sean Dunn Mike Saltzman Adviser Joan Bittle Staff Joe Cooney Jean Baumann Judy Berardicelli Teresa Fischer Margaret Gochangco Wendy Good Linda Loughman Denise Malik Karen Marino Moira Norrington Bill Post Kathy Slesinski Debbie Sun “Though this be madness, yet there be method in't.
