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. Introduction 7
