Here she peruses the student handbook for extracurricular opportunities. 2 Introduction HANDLE WITH CARE Directions: Open carefully. Read each page thoroughly and continue through to the end. Even though it’s not always asked for, someone is always giving direc- tions: how to make Chicken Cordon Bleu, a guide to moneymaking, direc- tions to put together a bike, etc . . . What about directions? What direc- tions are each of our lives taking? Are we going “south of the border to be- come mercenaries in Latin America? How about north to visit Santa Claus? Maybe we could go west and follow the eternal sun to California. If we dig far enough east, we might hit China. Every member of the graduating class of 1983 will follow his own per- sonal path. We’ll all just jump in our cars or on a Magic Bus and go in what- ever direction we decide to. We have learned the formula for suc- cess and we will do the guiding. It’s time for the class of ’83 to be giving the directions. Because the 1982-83 school year is so power packed, batteries are not included. ABOVE: A map of the school is a definite necessity to sophomores like Gail Beauregard. BELOW: Sophomore confusion or thoughts directed from another world could be the reasons for these unusual diddly-boppers.

IMPORTANT QUESTIONS High school is usually the first time in a student’s life when he or she begins to seriously question the meanings of impor- tant things in life. SWMHS is no exception. “When’s this period over?” “What time is it anyway?” “How was that party Saturday?” “Who’s he going out with now?” “Where did we come from?” Where did we come from?!? “Our mommies’ tummies,” the recombination of DNA, our American heritage, and more? A part of that heritage, the part that made thirteen years of education mandatory, gave us the high school. Our parents remind us that the years we spend in high school can be the best years of our lives. And it isn't only the academic part of Did life on earth really begin with a hot, soupy gas based on Amino acids and DNA? Pete Skarzynski attempts to answer this pressing question during a Biology lab. course. Could that soggy, grinding feeling be .. . (gulp) love? And what about our friends? Friends are an important part of high school, often the part we dread leaving the most. Leaving? But where are we going-after we travel through the halls of SWMHS one more time? ABOVE: Resting against the backdrop of spring, Mary Ellen Campbell and Bill Zrebiec share a smile that conveys the direction of their feelings. LEFT: Would the traces of where we come from influence talent? The craftsmanship and style of Kathy Yin surely attest to that possibility.

Introduction 5 CLASS WITH This is our year, a year with more direction. While speaking of directions, the class of '83 wishes to give some helpful hints on how to achieve suc- cess in the high school to the classes of ’84, ’85, ’86, etc . . . 1. Drop out. No, no seriously now . . . 1. Don’t go into the bathroom without dark glasses and a can of aerosal spray. 2. Spend at least an hour and a half a night on homework for each major subject. A half hour will do for gym. 3. Do not enter the B and A hallway intersection unarmed. 4. Bribe teachers. This includes laugh- ing at all of their jokes.

Buy shin guards and face masks for rainy day line-soccer games. And of course . . . 6. Join the yearbook staff. The list could go on and on, but we wouldn’t want to give all our secrets away, now would we? The individual members of each class have been finding methods of surviving and even succeeding here at SWMHS. As each student finds out for himself, no one really needs to take our suggestions seriously. Yet it is no acci- dent that the individuals in the class of ’83 have grown through their years at SWMHS into something much more than the sum of their numbers. And there’s no stopping a class with that much direction. ABOVE: Why is Diane Poweska so happy? She thinks that she’s enroute for a good grade in Driver's Ed. ABOVE: Detention for talking in class?

BELOW: The after-school help of Dr. Marotta catches Ted Wedekind and Frank Auriemmo on where their math class has gone. “And where do you think you’re go- ing?” Out, Mom. Just out.” Where do you think you’re going? College, trade school, Madison Ave- nue, the moon. Anything at all is possi- ble. In this world of ever-advancing technology, the moon is not such a big deal anymore. The entire guidance department was busy all year assisting each senior de- cide the direction he or she should pur- sue. Many choose to attend a universi- ty after high school, but that’s just one avenue. Hundreds of girls have gradu- 8 Introduction ABOVE: “Where do I think I'm going?” Judy Berardicelli searches the computer for an answer. BELOW: “Where do I go next?

Computers, used in practically every job imagin- able, are opening up many new oppor- tunities for those entering the job mar- ket today. As long as people continue to drive cars, those cars are going to break down. Who is going to fix them? Good mechanics often begin in a school auto shop. No matter what classes a student takes in high school, they can all help prepare him or her for the outside world and what it has to offer. And everyone knows SWMHS students go places. s INS, OUTS, AND UPS ABOVE: Before striking up the band, the new director, Mr. Shaner, gives some pointers to the members of the brass section. BELOW: Fashion direction is always on the move. Coincidentally, Liz Hall and Tina Kupsch buzz through study hall as look-alikes. With her first day at SWMHS, now as a teacher, Miss Makwinski receives the standard equipment, an atten- dance book and an apple. As always, this school year began some new programs and altered oth- ers. Did we ever have early dismissal to attend a football game before Septem- ber, 1982? Now that’s increasing school spirit. Readjustments are going on all over Sayreville. Dr. Parnell has become Su- perintendant of Schools with Mr. Bauer as her assistant. Closer to us, Mr. Rei- chenbach has just moved up from the junior high to become vice-principal. Within the school, new peer writing groups have been set up and Ad- vanced Placement English has been added. It’s becoming more evident that people are taking pride in their school clean-up committee. If only there could be a world clean- up committee. The universe is going through its own disturbances. The re- current crisis in the Middle East, Reaganomics, the football 1 strike; so what else is new? The tremors that jolt the most severely though, are what’s happening here in New Jersey. The fact that the driving age may be raised to 18 doesn’t bother those who already have a drivers’ license, but it does concern the younger students. Something that does affect everyone in the school is in the raising of the drink- ing age to 21. If a night club has a bar inside, this prevents someone who may not drink from even getting in to see a band. Who can predict what other innova- tions will occur? Like Bob Dylan said, all we know is “the times, they are a- changin’.” 10 Introduction ABOVE: The loneliness of the essay writer could be a thing of the past at SWMHS.

Introduction 11 M SCHOOL DAZE The beginning of another school year, already. Sophomore stomachs are sloshing around inside sophomore bodies. Five minutes after the late bell, they are sure that they will be the only ones left in the hallway looking for room A-55. The incoming juniors are almost exuberant that there is now someone more vulnerable than they are. It’s their turn to dish out the vi- ciousness in line soccer. Seniors? They would rather just turn off the alarm and wait until June to graduate. Everything we do has a beginning, ripe with anxiety and anticipation. This year could bring the beginning of a deluge of Steno I homework, the ad- vent of U.S. History II chapter outlines, or the time to start shopping for a col- lege. The 1982-83 school year at SWMHS is only one more beginning and it’s just about to start! The homeroom bell finally rings. And they’re off! The trash compactor of a hallway is already in motion. Everyone passes from class to class in a daze today. That’s because it’s a dream. Yeah ... it must be a dream. I’m still in bed. Summer just couldn’t be over.

It's grati- fying to look back to September and think about how great this year was. There was Homecoming, admission to the college of your choice, the prom, even graduation. Now think back even farther. Re- member how you cried on the first day of kindergarten? Well, maybe you didn’t cry. How about grammar school with its frilly dresses and polyester pants? That was nothing like SWMHS, with its continuing maze of career days, SAT Saturdays, carnation days, and lab days. Whether it’s the last day of your sen- ior year, 2:30 on a Friday, the last day of summer vacation, or the end of a three day weekend, each ending is fol- lowed by a beginning. See, it’s not really that bad. SPEED LIMIT UPPER RIGHT: 10. 9. 8. .. . The period is almost over as Jim McCracken and Lisa Downes aim their thoughts in individual directions.

SPRING 1982 1 PAGE AHEAD Spring 1982 17 MAKING ZERO A POSITIVE NUMBER Bang! And they’re off and running! The Sayreville Girls’ Spring Track team sprinted off to the All-Conference Championship with an 11-0 record. Coach Maurer commented on the vic- tory by saying, “It's a nice accomplish- ment to win the conference, especially three out of the four last years.’’ Many school records from both on the track and in the field were set this season. Julie Brady holds the new re- cord for 100 meter hurdles and the long jump. Gail Kupcha, an excellent distance runner, holds records in the 800, 1600, and 3200 meter runs while Lisa Mitrosky has maintained records in the discus and 100 and 200 meter runs. Other strong team members includ- ed Jamie Unkel, Cindy Allman, Sharon Tremel, Ann Marie Macaluso, Connie Spolowitz, Kathy Drwal, Kim Brown and Joanne Esposito. Marybeth Jones showed promise but a leg injury kept her out of the proverbial “running’’. Coach and team members agreed that their goals involved acquiring a sense of team concept, learning how to win and lose, as well as mastering the art of cooperation within the team. Aren’t reruns boring? Not if they concern the performance of last year’s Boys’ Spring Track team. The team mimicked the previous year’s team by going undefeated and winning the con- ference and county titles. Although nu- merous injuries plagued the team, they still remained victorious. Outstanding players elected to the All-County, All-Conference included John Kiernan, who ran the two mile, and Mike Wasko, who ran the 100 me- ter hurdles. John Kiernan achieved scholar athlete for the county and was a member of the All State Team. Tom Reagan, running the 800 meter and mile relay, Ted Wedekind, running the mile relay, Steve Biancamano, running the 400 meter and mile relay, and Bri- an Smith, for the high jump, were all winners in the All-Conference. Charlie Nieves, who ran the 100 meter and 200 meter, and Walt Tomkowski, who ran the 1600 meter, were two promi- nent runners who also contributed to the season. According to Coach Doll, Steve Biancamano was the most improved player. New to the 400 meter, Steve was second in the county and third in the state. As reinforced by Coach Doll, endur- ance, strength, coordination and men- tal fortitude are among the many skills required of the individuals in order to make such a team successful.

The 1982 boys Tennis team, which finished with a respectable record of 12-12, had to keep progressing from the start. First year coach Mr. Ni- choliason was not disappointed, but felt the team’s potential exceeded its performance. The highpoint of the season was the 3-2 victory over Colonia which marked a defeat of Middlesex County’s num- ber one ranked team. The players of the day were Mike Chernow and Dave Defillipis. The team finished with winning re- cords in the first singles position (16-8) and first doubles position (15-9) which usually guaranteed two automatic wins for the team. It was the lack of consis- tency in the other positions that weak- ened the team’s grasp of the “out of fingers length’’ matches. Within the conference matches, however, they came out ahead with 10 wins and 8 losses. BOYS TENNIS SWMHS OPPONENT 1 5 Carteret 0 1 North Brunswick 4 0 Colonia 5 0 Woodbridge 5 4 J.F. Kennedy 1 2 S.A.

The continuous use of this flaw- less motion enabled Ivan Ferro to chart an aver- age score of 45. ALL FORE SUCCESS By turning preseason hopes into realities, the Golf team broke through past domination by County oppo- nents. Coach Helwig acknowledged the team’s dependence on the exper- ience of senior members during close matches. Balancing the team were three first-year players, Mike Eck- strom, Ralph Burnett, and Paul Platkin. Entering for the first time in the County Tourney, the group swept through the opposition losing only to Wardlaw and Colonia (3rd in the state) to earn a 3rd place standing. Helping the team rise to this plateau was Ivan Ferro, who held the best average for the past two years and was elected a member of second team All-Confer- ence. Also combining their techniques and knowledge were Tom Haltli who marked the lowest score at Tamarack with a 39 and Mark Newcomer who placed 8th in the County Individual Tourney. As well as receiving the gratification of a 14-9 Golf season, Coach Helwig was given the Coach of the Year Award. Simultaneously surprised and honored, the coach credited the award to the efforts and dedication of the team. Concentration proves effective for Mike Eck- strom as he drives a practice shot for 250 yards. LEFT: Golf: Front: Rich Kausch, Mike Eckstrom, Paul Platkin, Dennis Mascali, Mark Amato.

After losing their first three games, the team picked itself up and trounced J.F.K. The team worked hard to reach the required .500 season and was able to participate in the County and State Tournaments. They made it to the quarterfinals of the Counties and suffered four crushing defeats. With a final record of 10-13-1, the season was neither a complete success nor a com- plete failure. Coach Gozora comment- ed on the year by saying, “We were an inexperienced team and we played the way we expected to, winning some key games and losing some key games.” Despite a mediocre record, this year’s team had many outstanding players. Gerard Porpora, SWMHS’ du- rable catcher, made first team All-Con- ference and All-County. Tony Esposito made second team All-Conference and second team All-County. Rich Rankin also struck high and made des- ignated hitter for All-Conference. Sean Gallagher, named as one of the team’s most promising players, made honor- able mention in All-County. Jim Pru- sarczyk, one of Coach Gozora’s better defensive players, achieved Golden Glove. . VARSITY BASEBALL SWMHS OPPONENT 7 Carteret 8 1 Colonia 12 3 Woodbridge 5 16 J.F. Kennedy 6 5 J.P.

The team compiled an outstand- ing record of 18 wins and 5 losses, including two victories over the reputed powerhouse, Edison. An All-County shortstop, Jeanne Holt, leading the team in batting and RBI’s, was one of the team’s three co-captains. Pam Poth, another of the team’s co-cap- tains and an outstanding defensive player, was second on the team with 17 RBI’s. She made only one error while playing left field, giving her a field average of .976. Michele Garbowski, the third co-captain had an excellent year in the position of third base. Lori Blaszka led the pitching area, compil- ing a 13-3 record and 1.26 ERA, which is believed to be a school record. The team averaged 8.5 runs per game and only gave up an average of 3 per game. As for next year, Coach Ryan hopes to have a repeat perfor- mance. Varsity Softball: Front: Jody Jarusiewicz. Lori Blaszka, Chrissy Romel. Caryn Lukie, Molly Jones, Michele Garbowski.

BATTING UP THE LINE “This sport is so exciting because the score can change with each pitch and you are never really out of the game. I also like the teamwork as- pect,” Miss Popowski stated this about her 1982 J.V. Girls Softball team. This year’s team finished the season with 11-7 record. The greatest contributors to the wins were shortstop Vanessa Carney, Bar- bara Matthews and Cindy Kiyak. Vanessa had 11 stolen bases, a bat- ting average of .467 and scored 27 runs. Barbara Matthews, playing first base, hit 3 doubles, 4 triples 6 homers and 25 RBI’s which led to a batting average of .500. Barbara also led the team with a .979 fielding average and was voted most improved player. Cin- dy Kiyak was the team leader on and off the mound. She had a pitching re- cord of 10-3, a batting average of .511, and a 62% on base average. Miss Popowski feels that “the exper- ience the girls gain will help them move up the varsity level.” With a team of all- around excellent players, it was a year of records to be proud of. J.V.

Mr. Demuth attrib- uted the 9-10 season to “the inconsis- tent errors occurring during crucial per- iods of some of the games.” The team did not lack on-the-ball players. Keeping the blemishes off his pitching record was Brian Bielak with 5-0 season. The leading slugger, Jeff Shouldis, kept the SWMNS score mov- ing in an upward direction. This combi- nation of power in the batters’ box and prowess on the mound, should put this J.V. team up to the varsity level next year. ‘A man's wisdom maketh his face to shine' with the help of a few candles at the National Honor Society Induction ceremony. neously extinguished their candles.

Remarking on the evening, Miss Sowa, National Honor Society advisor, claimed, Every year I have the same emotional feeling because I think it’s very touching... I thought it was beau- tiful. PRIDE AND PRECEDENT It is written that a man’s wisdom maketh his face to shine ... were the words that echoed through the high school auditorium on March 31, 1982. Many proud family members and friends were present as Mr. Dill induct- ed 60 new members to the National Society.

The spring musical of 1982 got SWMHS hopping again with this year’s production of Bye Bye Birdie. Sock hopping actually! Bye Bye Birdie gave the school a real “blast from the past.” The play was the story of a 50’s rock-n-roll idol and how his loyal fans tried to prevent him from being draft- ed. Stars Ed Kosciewicz, J.P. Jones, Ro- sanda Strika. Andrea Spiegel, Judy Berardicelli and Warren Clark with the rest of the cast were absolutely vibrant and exciting with their many song and dance routines. Aiding Mr. Piccuirro with the show were Mr. Shaner, Mr. Ketterer, Mr. Riker and Mr. Resh as they helped di- rect and produce the music, lights and set. They were only advisors, however, to the many talented students. Kelly Harrigan’s leadership enabled the make-up and costume crews to work to peak perfection. As Director Pic- cuirro commented, “I was very confi- dent because we had all the ingredi- ents of a good show” and that the show was a hit because “success of the play has to do with the students.” Mr. Piccuirro, impressed with the quality of students’ involvement, be- gan a new tradition after the last per- formance of Bye Bye Birdie. Students who had made outstanding contribu- tions to SWMHS theatre were perma- nently recorded on plaques to be put on display outside the auditorium. The first recipients of this honor were Ro- sanda Strika, J.P. Jones, and Sean Dunn. Bored with all the attention going to Conrad Birdie, Patti Reynolds turns to her blocks for entertainment. The bittersweet struggle of bringing up their kids is reflected in the faces and actions of Warren Clark and Judy Berardicelli. Eyes bulging and mouths open, the two remaining shriners, Sean Dunn and Tom Hartman, stare in horror at the expose at their feet. 26 Spring Musical Young and old are brought together by the melodic sex appeal of Conrad Birdie.

Spring Musical 27 A GLIMMER OF THE FUTURE While the band takes a break, Kathy Rydzewski and Dave Schmidt sample buffet-style delicacies. RIGHT: As exuberant as her performance of Love is a Rose , soloist Judy Berardicelli glows with the success of the junior prom. Captured by the romantic mood of the junior prom, Marcy Bailey and Scott Jurkiewicz seal the night with a kiss. Although they danced all night. Andrea Spiegel and her date still have enough energy to flash zealous smiles. The 1982 junior prom on May 8, held in the SWMHS cafeteria, neared per- fection. The juniors were honored by the attendance of Mr. Counsman at his last prom as Superintendant, and Mr. Dill at his first prom as principal. What was usually the school cafete- ria had been transformed into a beauti- ful celebration of spring. It was a room full of the magical romance of the “For- ever Young’’ theme. Real parachutes were rented and tacked onto the ceil- ing to improve the room’s acoustics. Two of the attractions included the band “Kicks , with their continuous play and Judy Berardicelli's rendition of “Love is a Rose. To make the prom successful, the four advisors, Mrs. Moore, Mrs. Groncki, Mrs. Lasko and Mrs. Gola with approximately twenty dedicated juniors, started the necessary work as early as September, 1981. Terri Kel- lert, Bob Gullo and Valerie McVeigh worked “above and beyond the call of duty according to Mrs. Moore, al- though many more members of the prom committee were involved in plan- ning and decorating right up until the literal last minute. Was the 1982 junior prom just a glimmer of the success of next year's senior prom? It may have been, as Mrs. Moore stated hopefully, “Our prom will set a precedent of excellence for the future. A LETTER-PERFECT PROM May 22, 1982 Hi Sue, Jack and I had a wonderful time at the senior prom last night! Jack always insists on being on time so we arrived at the school promptly at 6:45. As we waited for the bus, we watched the parking lot begin to fill. Later I found out there were 620 of us there. Sue, you can’t imagine the difference be- tween school buses and the charter busses that we took. The luxurious 40 minute ride seemed to take only 10 minutes to Town and Campus. When we got off the bus, I hardly recognized many of the people who I see every day. The prom began as the music of Trigger swept the dancers onto the dance floor. Love is Forever: Face to Face” was a terrific choice for the prom theme. Everyone whirled off into a dream world. I never sat down all night! Even though it was drawn out, the meal was delicious. But the appe- tizers were the best part - cheese puffs, fried shrimp, and little weenie snacks. One of my friends, Alden Camacho, went to the prom alone because his date got sick; even he had fun. The souvenirs were cute little brandy snifters and lavender silk roses. Of course, no one wanted the even- ing to end, but 1:00 rolled around fast. I must say, though, that Miss Lam- precht, Mrs. Kaskoff, Mrs. McCormack and Miss Nowicki, the senior class ad- visors, did a terrific job on planning and carrying out the prom. And they looked so nice, too. I guess the only disappointment was finding out that some of the cars had been vandalized while we were out having fun. Well, there’s one in every crowd. I’ll fill you in on the juicy details later. See ya soon, Sally A mischievous-looking Janice Bailey takes a breather from the excitement of the senior prom with her escort, Jeff Guarino.

Before the start of his salutatorian speech, Jim Conners takes a moment to collect his thoughts. 30 Graduation COMMENCEMENT When The End Is Just The Beginning June 24, 1982 was as much a begin- ning as it was an end. Due to the late graduation date, within a month of graduation at least one graduate en- tered a military academy and at least two others entered the armed forces. Mr. Dill presented the class at his first graduation as principal and Mr. Couns- man bid the assembled group a fare- well as Superintendent of Schools. The hubbub that preceded gradu- ation began weeks in advance as spe- cial preparations were made for spe- cial students to accept their diplomas. Valedictorian Celeste Delgatto and sa- lutatorian Jim Conners spoke on each individual getting involved. As awards were distributed and each recipient was enthusiastically applauded, the appropriateness of the theme for this class was evident. The jubilation of the class was ex- pressed by the appearance of several decorated beach balls and the shining smiles of the graduates on the beauti- ful evening that bid a not so final fare- well to the class of '82. Some of the graduates were not so pleased that they had to return to school to pick up their diplomas on the following school day. As expressed by Miss Lamprecht, head class advisor, “The class accept- ed the responsibility involved in the graduation ceremony without sacrific- ing their own enjoyment. As usual, this class of very unique individuals re- sponded to the occasion and present- ed itself as a caring and cohesive group.” A final peace with his SWMHS education is sig- nalled by Steve Paskell.

School Spirit Week 35 FRIENDS, ROMANS AND SPIRIT Everyone looks forward to School Spirit Week and especially the Almost Anything Goes assembly. This year’s week of Blue Gray, Hat, Toga, and Class Color Days made the hallways even more interesting than usual. The assembly on Friday not only got every- one out of class, but built a little com- petitive class spirit. Now for the big question—did every student get in- volved: I always forget about Blue Gray Day. This year I wore rust. I did remember to wear a hat on Wednesday, though. My favorite was Dave Saltzman’s Dog-Hy- drant baseball cap. There was just no way I would wear a toga, but I really admired the pseudo-Romans who did, particulary the ones in Mickey Mouse border prints. The week finished off in high spirits with the Almost Anything Goes assem- bly. A senior victory was inevitable, making a second victory for the class of '83. ‘‘It was an unbelievable rush for the spirit of the class of ’83,” conclud- ed Jay Medlin. As the seniors near victory in the Almost Anything Goes competition, seniors '‘Ray’' and “Ralph” lead the victory celebration.

Student Council led the school in spirit raising with its annual tree deco- ration in the main foyer, its caroling at Oak View Nursing Home in festive cos- tumes, as well as the distribution of cheer in the form of candy grams. All attendants at the annual Lan- guage Festival enjoyed the holiday and cultural treats, with entertainment be- ing just a preview of the spirited Winter Concert. Faculty festivities were highlighted by Mr. Dill’s annual reception, where Coach Breheney was chosen to re- cieve the centerpiece crafted by Mrs. Dill. Of course, school activities just set the spirit for warm celebration with family and close friends. Vacation? As usual, SWMHS faculty and students agreed, Too short.” The faculty support of Principal Mr. Dill is symbolized by the Christmas gift being presented by Mrs. Albanir.

The audience response to the fleet- footed wolf, portrayed by Don DePas- quale, was all smiles, which broke into peals of laughter over General Grant’s personal habits. Finally as the tension built in Walter Mitty’s fantasies, Kevin Ferguson proved himself dramatically worthy of playing “first man.” To bring the various parts of “A Thurber Carni- val” together, please keep in mind its moral: “Don’t count your boobies until they hatch!” In A Thurber Carnival, the answers to the world's greatest ques- tions lie right above the heads of Andrea Spiegel, Paul Travisano and Kathy Grau as they edit the classics.

A MOVING RIDE ON A “CAROUSEL” This year’s musical would “both move and inspire the audience,” pre- dicted director, Mr. Piccuirro. Carou- sel, a 1944 Rodgers Hammerstein production and an old-style, traditional musical starred Kevin Ferguson, Lori Ann Foster, and Judy Berardicelli in its April 1983 production. “I want this to be wonderful, and I think it can be if everyone works to- gether as one big family,” stated Judy Berardicelli. It will be, believed Mr. Pic- cuirro, who said Judy was just one ex- ample of a very dedicated and talented cast. The script itself featured a revisit to a New England shore town by a “heav- enly” Billy Bigelow and a scene termed the “Carousel Waltz” in which there was no dancing! Perhaps the most challenging number was “June is Bust- ing Out All Over” well carried out by singers and dancers alike. This year’s combination of a moving script, talented faculty members, and an outstanding group of talented stu- dents working together guaranteed Carousel’s success. Before beginning the Carousel Waltz, Cindy Hahn informs Ed Kosciewicz that she’ll lead. 44 Spring Musical ABOVE: ‘‘Get away, you no account nothins’,” reveals Judy Berardicelli's attitude toward the men in the SWMHS spring musical Carousel.

Many stu- dents audition, but only a select group are needed to perform the music for the play. Band director, Mr. Shaner, views a pit band appointment as an honor for any talented student. However, talent is not all that’s required of a pit band member. They start to practice at least three times a week, as early as January, for the April curtain time. This year’s group was supplemented by profes- sional string players. The running eighth notes in the score of Carou- sel make it necessary for the harp part to be played on the piano by Lori Leccese. As the old saying goes, three clarinets are better than one, as exemplified by Pit Band members Joe Kawalec, Beth Kwiat- kowski and Paul Caruso.

But a Winter Concert by the Chorus and Concert Band served to alleviate this year’s mid-winter slump. Under the guidance of Mr. Tripold, Chorus Director, and Mr. Shaner, Band Director, this year’s performers includ- ed members from the Jazz Ensemble, the Concert Band, students involved in vocal classes, and students who volun- teered to sing after school. Perhaps the high point of the show was the combined effort of the Chorus and Concert Band with “Star Night.” “It is a rare thing to witness a perfor- • mance so complete in that it moves both the artists and the audience. There was a uniting of performers in their concentration, energy and execu- tion,” Mr. Tripold commented about the concert, in an appropriate tone, of course. Sound abounds at the Winter Concert. Joe Con- diracci and Todd Fenstermaker hold out the final note of ‘‘White Christmas. % Vocalizing as a creative art form is just one way in which Liz Ullman, Cindy Hahn and Judy Berardicelli express themselves. Practice after practice finally pays off as the Concert Band transforms air into holiday atmosphere.

Then the Homecoming Queen candidates, Lisa Blaszka, Lori Blaszka, Terry Kellert, Jeanne Nehila and Mary Roma, were announced. As I was losing the feeling in my toes, the fall sports teams came onto the field. Each team captain introduced their teammates and wished the football team luck in the Homecoming game. While I pondered the questions who would win the game and who would be the Homecoming Queen, I was rudely interrupted by a voice saying, That’s all folks.

The best float was judged to be the Sophomore rendition of The Muppet Movie by a panel composed of Dr. Par- nell, Superintendent of Schools, Mrs. Anderson, Board of Education Presi- dent, Mr. Dill, Mrs. Fehrle, and Mrs. Kratinski, all part of the high school faculty. Although not winners, red- haired Suzi Palmer as Annie and the entire cast from Alice in Wonderland made for a wonderfully memorable Saturday afternoon at the movies , the theme as chosen by the Student Council.

In your own words, define “Direc- tions”: “Instructions (which students usual- ly do not read).” Miss C. Kwiatkowski How do you feel about teaching as a career? Teaching is a wonderful vehicle through which to share one’s exper- ience and knowledge. In addition it helps keep one in touch with the youth of today.” Mrs. Mischne “I love it.” Miss Sowa As a teacher, what was your most fulfilling experience? “Teaching itself is a fulfilling exper- ience, but the greatest experience a teacher can have is to see a student complete a task he she did not think he she could perform.” Miss Makwinski “Occasionally running into a gra- duate saying ‘you know, what you said about writing was right’—no pun in- tended.” Ms. Bittle “What is most fulfilling to me is reading a letter from a past student expressing thanks for the direction in which I helped guide them.” Miss M. Kwiatkowski 52 Curriculum Curriculum Curriculum 53 Lives For Education Dedication and leadership may be mere words but they specifically ex- press the feelings of the approximately 400 people who honored Mr. Henry Counsman with a very touching retire- ment banquet on April 28 at the East Brunswick Chateau. In his 36 years as Superintendent of the Sayreville school system, Mr. Counsman touched the lives of every graduate and faculty member by maintaining one of the fin- est school districts in the state. The farewell speech delivered by Dr. Marie Parnell voiced the thanks of the district for a job well done. LEFT: The high point of the evening was Mr. Henry Counsman's expression of appreciation for the retirement dinner and for the many years of fine support he has received from his friends. A simple kiss and a small gift from Mrs. Goldkopf, President of the Board of Education, conveys her appreciation for Mr. Counsman’s years of dedicated ser- vice. Dr. Marie Parnell bids farewell to Mr. Henry Counsman for a job well done and reaffirms that the Sayreville schools will continue to strive in the direction of finer education. 54 Curriculum Education For Life “A superintendent has the administrative responsibility to see that a school system functions effectively so that students can learn and teachers can teach.” Dr. Marie Parnell now has the chance to successfully demonstrate her ability to enforce this theory through a recently made transition into her new role as Superintendent of Schools. In 1954, the high school was desperately searching for an English teacher. At that time Dr. Parnell was appointed to her first teaching position. Since then, she has taught courses ranging from history to philosophy. “I feel that my goals have not changed from those I had as a teacher or a principal. My overall goal is to provide the best academic setting for students. Only the scale in which I have had to work at these goals has been different.” Moreover, Dr. Parnell has a very firm attitude toward education. She believes that everyone uses his judgment in making his or her own place in our society, and that the starting point is, of course, education. She points out that “education for all young people should be a very sound base in which to pursue the rest of education, not just in college, but also afterwards, because all of life is an educating process.” Although Dr. Parnell enjoys such well-cultured activities as attending Broadway shows, reading, and traveling, she feels that one of the best joys of life” is the daily contact with students she experienced as a teacher of philosophy in the 1980-81 school year. It is in the classroom that Dr. Parnell feels that her ideas can be best expressed to students. Be all that you can. Find out what you want, and go after it.” She concluded, “Your goals will be obtained if you keep striving in this direction.” In response to the new directions of their respective careers. Dr. Marie Parnell acknowledges the success of Mr. Henry Cousman with a retirement gift. A subtle joke prompts Dr. Marie Parnell and Miss Judith Sunski into pleasant reminiscence.

The conclusion of another Tuesday night Board of Education meeting is a good reason to relax, Mr. Robert Fleming, Board Secretary, agrees. Mr, Richard Dr. Marie Parnell Mr. Homer Dill, Principal Mr. William Bauer Mr. Edward Weber Jr., Reichenbach, Vice Superintendent Assistant Superintendent Vice Principal Principal 56 Curriculum Directors Of Success “Without guidance comes chaos.’’ This is probably one reason SWMHS retains a staff of experienced supervisors for its various academic, administrative, and guidance functions. Just under building principal, Mr. Dill, are vice-principals Mr. Weber and Mr. Reichenbach, who ably handle the daily grind of administering to our school’s needs. New SWMHS vice-principal, Mr. Reichenbach, with over 27 years in Sayreville school system, has had a number of administrative responsibilities. He began his career teaching history and is currently vice- principal of the high school. He enjoys his job because it provides the opportunity “to work with students and staff, to know both and work out any problems and improvements.” Longstanding vice-principal, Mr. Weber has 25 years teaching and administrative experience, 18 years of which were spent in Sayreville. Interested in the various personalities he meets, Mr. Weber likes “helping and seeing students graduate high school.” Who better to head the Science and Math Department than Mrs. Irene Arthur, with 40 years of experience? Since 1942 Mrs. Arthur has taught chemistry, biology, and various maths. She has been supervisor for the past five years, but claims that it wouldn’t stop her from returning to the classroom if the opportunity arose. Every student is affected by Mrs. Baumann as supervisor of the Language Arts Department since 1977. From the perspective of her twenty years of experience in the district, she believes the inclusion of Advanced Placement English and the stress being placed on the writing process are definitely steps in a positive direction. Students always need guidance, and Mr. Newcomer is here to point the way. Mr. Newcomer has been counseling since 1965, and in the future would like to “see SWMHS head in a computerized direction in order to help students select a career or college.” As Humanities Department chairperson, Mr. Hudock is responsible for the social studies, music, and art courses. He would like to add more social studies courses because he feels that these not only teach critical thinking but also the rights and privileges of citizenship. Similarly, Mr. Hefelfinger, who is in charge of Physical Education classes, sees his department as successfully stable over the past few years. The only change was the fairly new senior course, Family Life, which prepares students for future lifestyles. Finally, Mr. Rupp, Industrial Arts chairperson, notes, “the advancement of teaching methods one uses is vital to train students for later education. The direction into which teachers guide students is where it’s (teaching) at!” Cooperating, the administrative staff leads Sayreville in the successful direction of secondary education. Each individual department contributes to the shaft of the arrow pointing to the future. SUPERVISORS Mrs. Irene Arthur: MA—Math Scicnce Su- pervisor Mrs. Georgia B.

Without help in obtaining, completing, and sending out college applications, the student may stumble into a major problem. The aid of a counselor has been the perfect solu- tion for many SWMHS students. One counselor can’t run the whole department, so the high school has a guidance “team” composed of Mrs. Lake, Mr. Tewell, Miss Leone, and Mrs. Vlin. The “team portrait” (below) was originally printed in a newsletter to help new students identify their counselors. Mr. Newcomer stated, “One of the as- pects of guidance is that a student can have a personal conversation with his or her counselor and have a trust of that counselor.” As for the future, Mr. Newcomer hopes that, “The guidance department will acquire a computerized college placement system that will enable us to match students directly with a col- lege based on students’ records, needs, and occupational interests.” Computerized advancements will cer- tainly help, but nothing can ever render the counselors useless. As long as stu- dents have problems, the kind of per- sonalized help that counselors can provide will be useful. 58 Curricult To thank the many participants in Career Day '82 the guidance counselors gather for the annu- al reception of desserts and beverages that follows the indi- vidual seminars. New Faces, New Concept This year the Special Services de- partment developed into an ever-ex- panding, multi-functioning part of SWMHS. Many new faces and a new concept were introduced, resulting in a well-developed and innovative curricu- lum for the Special Education depart- ment. Miss Dolores Grudziecka, Miss Deb- bie D’Amico, and Miss Mary Ann Gor- don joined the staff to have their hands full of enjoyable work. Miss D’Amico works in the resource room with stu- dents who need extra guidance in math or English. Miss Grudzieka had to spend much of her time at Truman School but also had to work with Miss Gordon to help create a new class, the pre-vocational education program. “I came into the school only to find a room full of old boxes and dust. I had to spend the first few weeks organizing my classroom with the help of my stu- dents,” Miss Gordon reflected. The new concept is the pre-voca- tional program which used to be run in the grammar schools and restricted from the high school. This program. similar to the high school’s shop and business courses, is fully developed and is finally in the high school. The room consists of a wood and metal shop, hospital, store, post office, and bank. “This part of the program is geared towards preparing these stu- dents for real life. Every student in this class and every student in the other classes will graduate prepared for the rest of their life, no matter what field they enter. My goal is to have the stu- dents feel as if they are already in a hospital, bank, or post office, and they will not only learn the concept of their work, but actual procedures,” Miss Gordon noted. Special Education students need the same amount of attention as other stu- dents, not more. Miss Gordon treats all her students with the best care possi- ble. Maybe that’s what makes them so special. Preparation for the “real world is an important aspect of special education. Left: Thomas Mak- ransky and Miss Coakley cut a dif- ficult sewing pattern together.

The question asked teachers and stu- dents respectively: “What is the best aspect of teaching taking electives?” “The course is useful to every student in the school because at some point in life everyone will prepare food. Mrs. Borak Home Economics “Students get out of the course what they put in to it. Ms. Sulikowski Business “It prepares students for the business world. Mrs. D. Maurer Business “In most cases students are taking the course because they want to. Personally it is rewarding to teach a marketable skill.

The importance of directions in the art of driving is a point of agreement among all the instructors involved in the program. For instance, Mrs. Fehrle feels that, proper instructions, instead of hit and miss, count as a major bene- fit for Driver Education students. Both she and Mr. Inman agree that the pro- gram offers students a solid basis on which to learn both the art and the skills of driving. She also feels that it is important to help students become good sports out on the road. An update in the program a number of years ago brought simulator ma- chines into SWMHS. Mr. Inman point- ed out, The simulators reduced the time needed for behind-the-wheel from 6 hours to 3 hours. This proves to be a great help, as the number of students involved in the program increased. The transportation demands of the Sayreville area necessitate the training of student drivers and therefore the careful direction of Mr. Inman and the other instructors. % Curriculum 63 Mrs. B.

He remembered, “At that time, I desired to become an accoun- tant, but my involvement with other students made me change my goals to a different aspect of math.” Dr. Marotta received his BS, MEd, and Doctorate in Math from Rutgers University. He has taught every math course offered in SWMHS with the ex- ception of Calculus, which he would like to try some year. He began his teaching career at Roosevelt school, but chose to move up into the high school. His work with elementary school students has made him more sensitive to the needs of all students, as supported by his comment, “Learn- ing should be an enjoyable experience and no one has the right to make someone else miserable.” In addition, to teaching, Dr. Marotta is the advisor for the Games Club and tutors students varying from three to seven hours per week. When a student in Trigonometry, for example, works with identities and after countless failed attempts, says, “I finally got it!” Dr. Marotta feels he has accomplished a great deal. A national figure, Dr. Marrota has aided in the publication of Modern School Mathematics, published by Houghton Mifflin. This series is the most widely used elementary math textbook in the United States. He is also the author of Learning the Met- ric System, Grades 1-Junior High, a very modern and widely used guide to metrics published by Continental Press. Dr. Marotta enjoys travelling, Mas- terpiece Theater and collecting. In the future he hopes to return to Europe and Mexico, to replace certain decks of playing cards which his dog “ate”, and to add to his art collections, which include oils, water colors, and bronze sculptures. Armed with chalk and eraser, Dr. Marotta begins to demonstrate to his students how beautiful trigonometry can be. Grins and giggles abound as Todd Fenstermaker begins to talk to his living specimen. A solution for this difficult program requires some after school teamwork from Mr. Gilfillan and Mr. Brown.

More Than History History classes, whether Advanced Placement, Current History, or U.S. History are listed under Humanities, yet Humanities is much more than His- tory. Music, Art, and even subjects such as jewelry are programmed into the SWMHS Humanities program. A major purpose of these classes is to facilitate student understanding of their cultural backgrounds. “I provide ‘roots’ for a generation surrounded by impermanence”, Mrs. Kadi, History and Art Instructor quoted. Music teacher, Mr. Shaner, added, “My mu- sic courses help students to realize the rich heritage of Western music.” Another important aspect of Hu- manities is the opportunity they pro- vide for student expression. Lessons teach important concepts in Mrs. Kra- tinski’s art courses, but student pro- jects also contribute to learning. “The projects teach the element of design and allow students to use creativity in a variety of directions.” The same idea is incorporated into Mrs. Kratinski’s Jew- lery classes. She sees “most students enjoying their projects, particularly those where the design leads to a product that can be worn or given as a gift.” Self expression is not quite so evident in music, but at Mr. Shaner points out, “Music serves students’ needs immediately by enabling them to speak out whether through their own voices or their instruments.” Finally, one of the most appealing and most pertinent aspects of Human- ities courses is the opportunity they provide for group work. From develop- ing skits in A.P. History to developing a shared art project, students who work together often enjoy the work more and learn together as well. Mr. Shaner summarized, “In music, students seem to enjoy playing and singing together.” Maybe Mr. Shaner has pointed out why Humanities courses are becoming more and more popular.

Lasko Mrs. C. Ludlow Miss J. Makwinski Mr. F. Malanowski Mrs. S. Mills Worldly Views The Language Arts Department ex- tends far beyond the traditional English courses and into the too-often over- looked realm of the foreign language program. Just as expository writing is incorporated into the English classes, Miss C. Kwiatkowski, Spanish instruc- tor, notes that in her classes “writing is an important part of the curriculum. It is of equal importance as speaking and listening.” Across the proverbial borders, Mrs. Hazners, representing German instruc- tion, and Mrs. Parks, from the French realm, agree that “writing is one third as important as the other two skills- reading comprehension and oral com- munication.” Mrs. Parks stresses oral mastery, adding “It facilitates travel and enables one to see the world from a different perspective.” All the foreign language teachers agreed that there is no difference be- tween the instructional benefits of French, German, and Spanish, and that all students can benefit from for- eign language instruction. “Foreign or second languages are a challenge to students' ethnocentricity and a prep- aration for a bilingual world,” summed up Miss C. Kwiatkowski. A smile serves as a short break for Mrs. Lasko as she readies herself to mark yet another mound of A Separate Peace essays. Besides challenging the sophomores in English 201. Mrs. Jardula also encourages the Junior class to meet the chal- lenge of constructing the winning Homecom- ing float. Curriculum 69 f.A.G. - More Than Just A Game Many aspects of the academic pro- gram at SWMHS are always being re- vised, but this year students and facul- ty witnessed a complete revision of the Talented and Gifted program. Ms. Car- la Sutherland, new TAG facilitator commented, “In previous years teach- ers referred to the program as Gifted and Talented, but now the program is known nationally as TAG. Personally I am excited about the program al- though it requires tremendous prep- aration. Also, a TAG facilitator is a re- source person, not someone who has all of the knowledge with them at every moment.” Ms. Sutherland's philosophy is that the TAG program should benefit all students and teachers and the entire school in general. The ultimate goal of the TAG program is to direct students to informational sources and then the student will be able to pursue his or her project in a particular subject. Through the TAG program there can be a “bet- ter sharing between students and teachers, and teachers and students, which is very beneficial for a smooth running TAG program, Ms. Suther- land noted. Some of this year’s projects includ- ed a documentary on the 60’s in the form of a slide presentation by Jay Medlin and Mary Roma. Linda Lough- man worked intensely on a book com- piling Bob Dylan’s poetry to which she is adding illustrations and criticisms. More “dramatically , Andrea Spiegal and Kathy Grau prepared for a two character theatre performance and Steve DiAngelis and Dave Saltzman produced “Claymation. This project involved animating movies with clay figures. Finally, the program published TAG Tales, an innovative student project. This newsletter will help students and their families better understand the program because it will be directed to the home, Ms. Sutherland conclud- ed.

New SWMHS teachers Miss Mak- winski and Miss Gordon share the end of their first day here. I i Home At SWMHS If you have ever pondered over the simple question, “Where do teachers come from?” the answer is often, “Here”. Although many faculty mem- bers are of varied backgrounds, more than a few have graduated from the Sayreville school system. Those inter- viewed included Dr. Evanovich, Mrs. Whalen, Miss Makwinski, Ms. Carosh, and Mrs. Lake. Being involved in the varied aspects of school is very important to these returnees, both times around. For in- stance, Dr. Evanovich was once a member of the boxing team. He com- mented on the experience, “Boxing re- quired months of training, but during the first tournament, one boxer was knocked unconscious for ten min- utes.” As can be expected, the boxing team was disbanded. Miss Makwinski spoke of her exper- ience, “When I attended SWMHS, I was very proud to be a member of the NHS and Student Council.” Finally, eleven years ago, Ms. Car- osh was Faculty Editor of Quo Vadis, President of FTA, as well as a member of the Biology club. Over the years, these alumni have seen the introduction of more sports, courses, and activities to meet the ever-changing needs of the students. Mrs. Whalen, experienced from oth- er school districts and the junior high noted about SWMHS, “Since my graduation, I have seen a definite ex- pansion of student’s rights and con- cerns in the school which prompts the students to have a good interest in their school. Most of all, these teachers note a shared warm feeling about being back “home” at SWMHS. Curriculum 71 What Would We Do If There Were ‘No Substitutions Allowed’? Did you ever wonder why the one time you stayed up all night studying for that big math test, when you dragged yourself into first period and cleared your desk, a substitute ap- peared in front of you? Did you ever wonder why the teach- ers leave the substitute assignments like: page 98: 1-114 and page 134: 1- 3; to be collected at the end of the period? Finally, did you ever wonder who those substitutes are? One of them, a frequent visitor to SWMHS this year, has been Mrs. Brenda Piccione. In the beginning of the year, many students in the science classes had daily en- counters with Mrs. Piccione while Mrs. Romano was on a leave of absence. Mrs. Piccione related, “Student con- tact is very important to me. I enjoy ‘subbing’ here because I’ve gotten to know many students.” Another of the many substitutes is Mrs. Suminiski. The former teacher turned substitute mother feels that “Substituting for certain classes can sometimes be a new adventure in life.” So there you have it. Only two of your favorite kinds of people with dif- ferent backgrounds, but both occupy- ing the same niche in education. Did you ever wonder why the menus in some Chinese restaurants say, no substitutions allowed”?

BAND-ing Together What group added color, melody, and spirit to every SWMHS football game? What group actually began preparation for this school year the second week of August? What group has sold bumper stickers, household items, M M’s, even diddly boppers in order to help sponser their many activi- ties? What group, in and out of school, “stays together” as well as “plays to- gether”? The 75 member SWMHS Marching Band had an eventful year of begin- nings and endings. The tragic end of the life of ninth grade clarinetist Ken Hesterhagen in December not only brought the group closer together, but its empathic response spread through- out the school and community in ex- pressing condolences to the Hesterha- gen family. Mr. Shaner summed up the feelings of the band members, “We are truly saddened by this loss. We know that he loved our band, and we loved him.” Earlier in the season the feeling had been one of anticipation. When would the new uniforms be delivered? Much of the football season passed with the band still impatiently sporting the old outfits. However, late October compe- tition in Elizabeth, N.J. gave the band the opportunity to show off in those new uniforms. “We earned a score of 63; our goal being 60. I had told the band that if thay got 60, I would shave my beard off, and they held me to it, reminisced an almost clean shaven Mr. Shaner. The goal set for their next competition is, as yet, indefinite, but the band is in agreement, “We’ll go for the moustache next year.” American Section: Donna Palmieri, Jean Podolak, Dorothy Neminski, Donna Woods, Joanne Fiorilli, Leslie Merritt.

A group that size demanded strong leadership which was provided this year by Lori Kocsic, captain of the American section, Moira Norrington, overall guard captain, Beth Sparen- dara, rifle captain, Linda Tynan, flag captain, Nancy Gerard, drill team cap- tain and Stacie Lee Wong, twirling captain. Just above these high step- pers were drum majors Kathy Pashley and Karen Carstens, responsible for the final coordination of band and band front maneuvers. Advisor Mr. Shaner attributed the accomplishments of the year to having an instructor for every part of the guard. Student marching instructor, Peter Skarzynski, cited the EMBA Championship as this group’s best performance. Adding sparkle to the season were the guard’s 1st Place in Class Award at the West Windsor com- petition and the arrival of the new uni- forms. Always full of energy, a third of the members of the band front elected to take on off-season jobs. They per- formed as an indoor winter guard from January to April with advanced rou- tines during basketball intermissions and competitions. Guard member Paige Lany summed up her involve- ment with the winter guard as being fun, interesting, hard work, and worth- while. It may be below freezing outside but Drill Team captain, Nancy Gerard, keeps warm during the halftime show with the fast paced routine of “Star . The organization of the winter guard definitely will improve future squads.” Paige anticipated, “we’re aiming for a Superior rating next year.” That’s more than a first impression.

Band Front 79 a� Cheerleading Not Just A Spectator Sport Cheerleading, both an activity and a sport, “helps develop personality, leadership, service, and scholarship,” commented thirty-four year veteran coach and adviser Mrs. Fehrle. These spirited girls support the teams and boost both attendance and spirit at athletic events throughout football and basketball seasons. Mrs. Fehrle maintains a great inter- est in athletics, and encourages the cheerleaders to share that interest. Be- sides being the most active spectators at the games, these girls perform feats requiring gymnastic skills, coordinated dance movements, and just plain yell- ing that require regular practice, up to four times a week and two and a half hours per session. This year’s cheerleaders were led by JV captains Barbara Fulham and Sheri Szarvas, Varsity co-captain Elissa Un- kel and Varsity captain Jeanne Nehila. This year’s Homecoming festivities were special for the girls because they had something extra to root for as Jeanne Nehila was also a candidate for Homecoming Queen. Go, team, go!

The members of the Student Council are the link between the stu- dent body and administration, as well as often between school and commu- nity. The Student Council constitution states, “members of the . . . Student Council . . . will provide for . . . and promote school spirit and improve school conditions.” For several years the Student Coun- cil has held fundraisers for charity. Hal- loween flower money has gone to Uni- cef, Candy-grams and Valentine pro- ceeds have gone to the Leukemia Foundation, and lollipop sales are sent to the March of Dimes. The Student Council also attends three meetings a year to talk with other high schools as part of both the National Association and the Middlesex County Association of High School Student Councils. In fact, Sayreville has been an Honor School in the state of New Jersey for the past 20 years. Finally, every SWMHS student has seen a Student Council member filling the soda machines. That seems like a great way to improve school condi- tions to most of us. ABOVE: Student Counc sors: FRONT: Mrs. Lee Krt .,,at- kowski. BACK: Tom Reagan, ,.

As usual, the members of this club sold the traditional imported gummy bears. This year they broad- ened our cultural horizons by offering T-shirts and sweatshirts that speak German with such expressions as “Ich liebe Deutsch” or “Deutscher Verein.” The profits from these sales sent the club to New York to enjoy a look at Broadway at the end of the year. The German Club holds its meetings on the third Wednesday of each month. Joanne Zarick, president, host- ed this year’s Christmas party at her home where refreshments included typical German foods as knockwurst and sauerkraut. Mrs. Flazners, advisor, feels the club is beneficial and helps “broaden the students’ horizons,” as well as teach- ing them about “German customs and food.” Sometime in the future, the club and the German Honor Society plan to visit the elementary schools to tutor under- classmen in the language. German Honor Society president, Jean Targonski and the six other mem- bers have planned a dinner or trip for this spring. The trip will be financed by, what else ... a candy sale.

First on the calendar for the Spanish Club was the annual Christmas party with everyone invited guaranteed good eating. The highlight was, as always, the breaking of the pinata. Miss Kwiatkowski feels that the main reason for the Club is to reinforce inter- est in Spanish. President Jim McCracken, Vice President Vickie Lai- kowski, Secretary Lisa Klein and 150 plus members just think it’s a good opportunity to gather and come in contact with the Spanish language. Two second semester highlights in- cluded the viewing of Man of La Man- cha and their own performance of a bilingual play. This year’s Spanish Honor Society consisted of approximately 30 elected members with high grades in Spanish. The group led by Carol Kowzan, Ro- hit Shah, Anna Kottaras, and Andrea Spiegel designed and presented a pro- gram to interest and inform elementary students in the language. It included teaching student to make the Mexican good luck symbols called “Ojos”, or Eyes of God. The group’s plans for the future in- clude a national newsletter toward which they will contribute an article on their progress, and their annual dinner to a Spanish restaurant.

Vice President Rohit Shah reaffirmed, “Membership in NHS has in one sense meant, ‘Congratulations for that extra- academic effort.”’ Recognizing his role as leader, Presi- dent Matt Pachkowski encouraged the group to get involved with a two year Peace Corps project, probably cen- tered on improving education in Thai- land. This year’s fund raisers included two M M sales and funded both the fall and spring receptions and four gradu- ation awards to students who have contributed to the school. Advisor Miss Sowa, former SWMHS NHS member herself, enjoys teen- agers, but felt that working with this group had special meaning. “It was always interesting because their ideas were so new and different,” she con- cluded.

SERVICE National Honor Society 89 Ecc 2 Bio Soi0 COMPLEX AFTER SCHOOL ACTIVITIES Mrs. Romano, advisor to the Biology Club, has been at it for 20 years. She enjoys this extra-curricular job be- cause she feels it “extends interest in biology.” It also gives students a chance to do extra-curricular experi- ments. This year the club will work with dissections and also plant genetics, things not in the school curriculum. Members of the club met at least once a month, often more when work- ing on a project. During the year, the Biology Club visited the Island Beach State Park on some Saturdays to hear the NJ Wildlife Education Department. Rather than taking a trip like most clubs, the Biology Club raised money for a $100 scholarship to be given to the senior who had the highest achievement and at least three years of science includinq Advanced Biol- ogy. Rummaging through interwoven pine branches, Biology Club members Mark Przybylowski, Jon Persons, Tina Castello, Jeff Hollender, and Marge Gochangco get a head start on the holiday season with the traditional construction of the school’s wreath.

The Ecology Club's advisor, Mrs. Mackin, enjoys being with the club. She feels that the Ecology Club makes students more aware of life’s beautiful things, and how each person can help improve his or her community. They made and contributed flower arrange- ments to the local nursing home at Thanksgiving time. The club planned an “Ecological Feast where they served mainly natural foods which the members referred to as “wild. Be- sides a typical candy sale, the Ecology Club cultivated plants to be sold at the Arts and Crafts Fair. The '82-'83 club has accomplished much in the nature department; two $50 dollar scholar- ships were granted to graduating sen- iors compliments of the Ecology Club. “The Science League is an exten- sion of classroom work, stated Mrs. Albanir, advisor to the club. She sees another reason for its existence as pro- viding an arena for discussion of con- temporary issues. Members of the Science League take tests to compete with local high schools. One hundred twelve schools throughout the state have Science Leagues. SWMHS competes with Madison Central, Cedar Ridge, Marl- boro H.S., and Raritan H.S. Sayreville has 3 teams, 4 students specialized in Biology, 4 in Chemistry, and 4 in Phys- ics. Mrs. Albanir was very pleased with the League members' scores in these competitions and awards will be given to the team and individually. Biology Club: Front: Mark Przybylowski. Andrew Maze.

Ecoloby Club Science League 91 Challenging Through Creativity Olympics of the Mind consists of “a variety of problems and skills to solve them,” according to advisor Ms. Suth- erland, whose main purpose is to “channel students’ ideas and smooth them out.” While putting their creativity to good use, OM members compete against some of the state’s and country’s best minds. Some of this year’s noteworthy pro- jects included the Super Structure which supports a weight and moves periodially due to a billard ball hitting it, the Leonardo da Vinci Spring Car, which must be kept moving in all direc- tions by the power of the spring, pushed only once, and the battery op- erated Miner’s Helper, a robot which must follow a path and pitch tennis and ping pong balls. Finally there’s Humor from Homer where members acted out “Odysseus’ Encounter with Circe and His Descent into Hades” using robots and puppets. As the superstructure nears its potential, Tom McCarthy adds but another few pounds as Greg Pachkowski, Dana Jacoby, and Ms. Sutherland look on.

Last year there was the Rutgers’ Bowl; this year there’s the Tournament of Excellence. Ten students were cho- sen to represent Sayreville in the com- petition. To be chosen for the team, the stu- dents just had to answer 160 questions which limited the competition to 20. From there, Round 2 consisted of spontaneous oral questions. This de- cided, of the 20, the nine members and the two who tied for the tenth position. Sayreville competed against other New Jersey high schools as a part of a national competition of academic ex- cellence. During each meet, questions were asked and had to be answered within 30 seconds. The stakes were high. Between April 12 and May 12, the team traveled to Bridgewater Raritan High School East for a series of com- petitions, ending in a Final. Sayreville also participated in the Perth Amboy Decathlon of Knowledge for individual prizes. Advisor Mrs. Sutherland sees the competition as a challenge for Sayre- ville High School students to compete against the best students in other high schools.

M I N D B O G G L E R S As in the past, the Math Club cen- tered around monthly tests which de- manded mathematical ability and cre- ative thinking. Surprisingly, this year’s club membership more than tripled that of last year. This increase led the club to try something new: they started a tutoring service which was open to all students who needed arithmetic assis- tance. Advisor Dr. Evanovich cited one pur- pose of the club as to provide recogni- tion for those who have a talent for problem solving. Next year, he hopes the club will be more active with doers,” rather than joiners. Some students are drawn to the Math Club because annually the top four scorers receive $25 awards; however, for many, the Math Club means having a little fun while meeting a challenge. FOR RELIEF SPELL F-A-N-T-A-S-Y If the boring life has gotten to you, listen well to what you can do. On Wednesday, the first of December, read this well so you will remember: The GAMES CLUB meets in A-93 at approximately 25 minutes to 3. Come join your friends, fellows, and foes for there you'll meet to exchange death blows. Fantasy war gaming is what we preach; the skill and strategy to you we’ll teach. So now you know what we plan to do; hope you'll come with a friend or two. The continuation of the Games’ Club was heralded by the above announce- ment. President Brian Baulier and Mike Sisolak began the Dungeons and Dragons aspect as a TAG project. The club met every first and third Wednes- day of the month. They usually had three of four games going on, including role-playing and Avalon Hill games. The club is trying to arrange tourna- ments with St. Mary’s High School. Also, club members sold candy in or- der to finance participation in the 1st Annual Gaming Convention at Rutgers University in April. New faculty member, Miss Mak- winski, became a member of the club this year because it was the kind of activity she had always wanted to be involved with and never had the time. “Since I escaped into the world of J.R.R. Tolkien I have been curious about Dungeons and Dragons.” She viewed the club's purpose as “to free students from the pressures of reality by allowing them into fantasy.” Other club members mainly attested to its being “just a lot of fun.” After the dungeon master announces the setting of “White Plume Mountain, these adventurers Are playful expressions a component of all Games Club mem- plot their next move. bers?

S Games Club 95 DISTRIBUTING PRIDE Distributive Education classes, along with the DECA program, were de- signed to prepare its members for competition and future positions in dis- tributing. Marketing and Distributive Education classes combine in-class in- struction, on-job training, and DECA competitions to reach these goals. Mrs. Carosh, DECA advisor, has been there to help students on their way. All DECA members participated in competitions which provide students a chance to use the skills learned in class. On January 12th, Sayreville par- ticipated in the Regional DECA confer- ence for the first time. Of 32 participat- ing members, 16 won awards. Eleven students received honorable mentions and five placed either first, second, or third in different phases of the compe- tition. One member, Georgina Maca- luso, came home with four trophies. Ms. Carosh was enthusiastic about continuing to the national level. At the Regional competition, the judges complimented Mrs. Carosh on how nice the Sayreville students were. This only added to the pride Mrs. Car- osh already felt. She admits, “I love seeing them in competition. It’s a lot of work but it’s worth it. I just love it.

Mrs. Dulemba, advisor of the Future Secretaries of America, viewed the club as means of personal develop- ment through the experiences of work- ing in the business field. FSA members sold candy to finance its banquet in May. The girls, their em- ployers, administrators, and guest speakers from the business field at- tended. At the dinner, the girls re- ceived pins and certificates to signify the successful completion of the course. Final highlights of the years included a get-together with groups from other schools at Middlesex County College in March and attendance at Broad- way’s new production, Merlin. BUSINESS AS USUAL Cooperative Office Education, more commonly termed COE, was designed to provide its members with a feeling of social leadership. Most of its members also belonged to FSA; therefore, the girls actually worked as one group most of the time. The girls view their work experiences and skill oriented classes as aids to their vocational goals of becoming professional secre- taries. One of the more interesting spe- cial classes featured a guest speaker who discussed on-the-job dress and behavior. The COE programs sold Reese’s Pieces for profits. With their money, they planned a trip to Manhattan pri- marily to observe the stock exchange. The year’s end was commemorated by the COE banquet of the Raritan Bay Chapter on May 4th. Each girl invited her employer and awarded him or her a certificate of appreciation. In return, each COE member received certifi- cates for the successful completion of the program. The Future Business Leaders of American under the guidance of Mrs. Whalen, have truly gone places.” First it was to the Oakview Nursing Home where they conducted bingo games, and provided snacks and re- freshments and good company for the residents. Another group trip took the club to a computer center to supplement the school program of computerized ac- counting. The club will be donating materials to the business department from money made by out-of-school candy sales. Finally, the twenty-five members planned a spring picnic. Already looking into the future to aim the FBLA in new directions, Miss Whalen anticipated, I hope we can get involved in the fall ’83 leadership conference and enter various competi- tions next year.” FBLA: Front: Heleen Hogan, Mrs. Whalen, Lau- rie Balas.

COE DECA FBLA FSA 97 When it comes to locating anything in our library, Mrs. Simko, Tina Castello, and Chris Slavin “let their fingers do the walking.” The compensation for the many hours of work in the library for Robin Larsen and Cindy Szumowski is knowing that they are serving their fellow students. School Book-ies This year’s 26 member Library Council, under the supervision of Mrs. Simko, has been working hard to get students and library materials togeth- er. They help Mrs. Simko save every- one’s time by taking care of the loan desk, going on errands, and repairing books. They also take inventory and keep the bookshelves in running order. Seniors in the Library Council work during homeroom, and underclassmen take care of things during the day. And the work extends beyond the library for delivering overdue notices, selling candy and even helping with the coffee and bake sales on parent visitation nights. The profit financed a trip for council members to enjoy broadway play and dinner in New York together. Mrs. Simko’s memories are many and varied. One of the more unusual was the book returned . . . seven years late! However, she considers every day of hard work with the council members memorable. She boasted that this year’s group elected the first male Council President, Daryn Hanson, and that each year more “fellas” seem to join. Finally, she renamed the group “the high school’s unsung heroes.” Library Council: Front: Mrs. Simko, Debbie Sun, Daryn Hanson, Robin Larsen, Chris Slavin.

This year’s new ad- dition to the SWMHS collection was the Girls’ Basketball Club. The club was started to give more recognition to SWMHS girls’ sports. The 24 members who constitute the club are not only some members of the girls’ basketball team, but also some of the boys who support them. Meetings are called once a week by the advisor, Miss Lam- precht, where current fund raisers are discussed and future ones are planned. The money that is brought in goes towards new equipment or jack- ets. The success of the club was ensured by the attitude of its members as ex- pressed by Gina Rispoli, “It’s the kind of thing you don’t have to be forced to do, but you do it anyway because you enjoy it. You’re not only pleasing your- self, but your teammates.” The members of the Deer Club greet each other in a manner somewhat like the one being dem- onstrated by Ed Kosciewicz and Mike Jaffe.

She decided to take the job of Images advisor because she felt it was important for a school to have a literary magazine. This year's edition began soliciting the student body for contributions and selling Powerhouse candy bars, both in the late fall. All students were encour- aged to submit material and or to at- tend meetings. Art Editor Linda Loughman and Photography Editor Andrew Maze con- sidered individual projects and defined the perimeters of printable matter. Writing Editors Andrea Spiegel and Coleen Bloodgood led the group in considering all contributions. As early as January, selections were finalized by Typing Editor Joann Carr. Images put Mrs. Mischne in “closer touch with the students” at SWMHS, but more importantly, it provided the students with opportunities to learn about and to enjoy each other. A group meeting allows Mrs. Mischne to get Images staff members to respond to submitted material. Deep contemplation and a lot of reading are all a part of successful edition of Images, as demon- strated by Mrs. Mischne. As a member of the short story committee, Rich Butchko analyzes the upcoming work prior to the beginning of the meeting. 100 Images Images: Front: Naomi Neher, Anna Kottaras, Coleen Bloodgood, Andrea Spiegel, Matthew Bauer.

WASHINGTON RD, SAYREVILLE NJ JUNE 1983 Echo-Lites the school newspaper, has continued its duty to inform the students of SWMHS as much of the pertinent news as possible. Almost ev- eryone reads the newspaper and knows what they’ve read, but what’s behind that black and white piece of paper?!?! Well, Quo Vadis '83 has taken the time to find out! Fundraisers were a big part of any activity including this one. Echo-Lites sponsored two candy sales, but prob- ably their most magical sale was that of Cupid love messages. This year’s Echo-Lites underwent many changes. One very evident in- stance of change was the banner of the paper. Another modification that was popular from this year’s first edi- tion was the movie review column, “Reel to Reel.’’ The largest innovation for the staff was to the once-a-month staff meetings which helped prepare staff members become next year’s edi- tors. Obviously, this system worked as described by Editor-in-Chief Bill Post, “This is the best staff Echo-Lites has ever had. I am pleased with the quality of the relationships that have devel- oped between the staff, editors, and the advisor.’’ A minor typing error is all it took to put a frown in Lynn Trepesowsky's Echo-Lites routine.

The work begins with an interview The editor of a given department will interview a subject. The interview is then turned into an article. After the article is done, comes headlining and typing. Then there’s pictures. Each picture must be captioned, cropped (Year- book lingo for “cutting down to size,”) and then laid out on a sample page. The layouts of each page are sent to the publisher. Then in June . . . there’s your yearbook! Or rather, here’s your yearbook. As the Quo Vadis 83 sales come to a close, Business Editor Debbie Sun pores over endless amounts of re- ceipts.

After completing a deadline Layout Editor Dawn Baxter takes a moment to reflect on her very own special times. 106 Quo Vadis YEARBOOK; FROM A TO Y An assembly line situation all eviated some of the boredom, if not the difficulty involved in captioning pictures. Being caught relying on Roget's Thesaurus for the best wording causes John Darroch to hang his head in shame. Yearbook work isn’t hard; it’s down- right dangerous! Ms. Bittle's radio an- tennae actually attacked Editor-in- Chief Jessica Bauer. She was sitting under it, and all of a sudden it just went wild in her hair! Of course, Jessica was so shaken up, all she could reply was “Yucky barf!” Then it came off right in Ms. Bittle’s hands. Twice! That’s not surprising, though, since it only seems to work when pointed in the DIRECTION of a human body. But then Rohit’s ‘‘got the beat,” so maybe it should’ve fallen for him instead. Speaking of colored markers, it seems Coleen Bloodgood can't func- tion without them. Maybe it's those sex-ed reviews she’s been conducting on Ms. Bittle’s blackboard after school? Remember those Snoopy and Bomber shirts that were for sale around Homecoming? They were al- ways hanging on Ms. Bittle’s black- board. Well, ya wanna buy one? There’s plenty left. It’s a good thing Ms. Bittle didn't put them on her desk. We’d never find them again. Papers get lost for days on top of that desk. They just seem to go in all kinds of DIRECTIONS. And then there’s Bob Damato. His camera just doesn't seem to want to let go of that lens cap while taking pictures. Say, Bob, where are those pictures? Pictures? Who cares! Where’s my layout editor? Oh, well, you see ... the first one's gone and the second one had a car accident and the first 16 pages are due for the deadline tomor- row and ... oh, ‘‘yucky barf.” E.T. candy; What a great idea for a fundraiser. A yearbook editor was overheard to be mumbling, ‘‘I am not normal. I am not normal ...” What everyone has known all along has just been confirmed. And of course there was the year- book policy of ‘‘out-patient copy.” Be- cause this year’s copy editor, when put in a room with other yearbook staff members and a radio, did more talking and singing than writing, she was forced to do the work at home. The copy would be wheeled into the emer- gency room at home and then returned to A-207 to recover. Yearbook work? Hard? Quo Vaids 107 108 Sports SPORTS Sports 109 Bomber Power- The Bomber Football team fell victim to a 1-8 season in the always tough Middlesex County Athletic Confer- ence. Coach Barnes attributed the poor record to inexperience in the sec- ond and third teams and injuries to key players. The team was not without its lead- ers, however, beginning with “quad” captains Dan Prevoznak, Glenn Brego, Tom Battaglia, and Paul Ortiz. Dan Prevoznak was named as most im- proved offensive player while Glenn Brego and Carlos Ince developed no- table defensive skills. Not lacking in the exhibition of talent, the team was led in actual performance by quarterback Craig McCoy, who threw for 936 yeards and wide receiver Paul Ortiz, with 42 receptions for 585 yards. The season had its bright moments, notably the Friday afternoon season starter at Perth Amboy that merited an early school closing and the win over Cedar Ridge with the score of 20-12. Coach Barnes felt at this game the Bombers demonstrated the toughness and potential they needed.

Their 0-6 record does not reflect the amount of work put in by the new coach, Mr. Breheney, and the members themselves. One of the season’s memorable moments was the goal line stand at Edison. Although inexperience marred the season’s success, the team had many outstanding players. Cliff Repetti was the team’s top quarterback and safety while Bill Peschler sided the team in the positions of defensive end and of- fensive guard. Jim Bartkowicz, was outstanding as tackle and Joe Mascali excelled in his position of center. These outstanding players aided the other players by teaching them the art of the game. Some of the most im- proved players include Joe Dino, Dave Donnamaria, Butch Hoover, and Dar- ren Locklin. More team members and more experience should aid the Bomb- ers next year. 112 JV Football JV Football SWMHS OPPONENT 7 Perth Amboy 21 6 East Brunswick 18 7 Cedar Ridge 26 3 Woodbridge 34 0 Edison 26 0 Madison Central 26 0-6 1982 Football Coaches: Front: E.

Inevitable Success A sudden block with Carol Kowzan’s stick leaves her opponent off balance. This year’s Varsity Field Hockey team went all the way. The victory at the County Championship was defi- nitely the highlight of this season in which a new record of wins by a Sayre- ville Field Hockey team was set. As Coach Sunski stated they are, “A team Sayreville can be proud of.” Senior Carol Kowzan admitted, ‘‘We realized we could do it and that we wanted to do it. This year’s team played together longer than the previous ones had.” stated Miss Sunski, even long enough to gather a small following of fans. These facts and the two hour practices five days a week made their success inevitable. The girls on the team gained the abilities to run almost forever and to both win and lose graciously. Outstanding varsity players this year were seniors Patti Lynch, the leading scorer, and Chris Mormak with 109 saves. Miss Sunski felt that everyone improved and is most proud of the fact that, The girls never quit.” Varsity Field Hockey: Front Row: Lori Szczepanik, Doreen Savona, Ellen Lockwood, Terry Lockwood, Carol Kowzan, Katie Esposito.

When played properly, field hockey is a very fast moving game, requiring endurance, agility, speed, and eye- hand coordination. When applied to stickwork, passing, and shooting, these skills become helpful strategies, as they did in this year’s JV Field Hock- ey season. JV goalie Joyce Winkler did an out- standing defensive job aided by to- ward Elaine Fedor and halfback Laurie Wedekind. Coach Popowski noted that these girls worked hard to improve their skills throughout the season. Ms. Popowski’s JV squad had a good year, ending with a record of 2-4- 4. She cites Sophomore Vanessa Car- ney, and Juniors Arleen Clark and Dana Connors as a big part of the team’s momentum. “There is always action,” according to Ms. Popowski.

It was Coach Cis- zewski’s first year as a soccer coach, yet he led his team to post an 8-6 record for the season. The well-balanced mix of talent and enthusiasm are responsible for the team’s success. Under the leadership of veteran players John Mazurkiewicz, Jim McCracken, and Ken Rosenblum, the team earned the respect of many area coaches and teams. Many first year players such as Pat Brennan, Dan Mowery and Spiro Mamaligas proved to be strong defensively. Halfback John Mazurkiewicz and forward Shawn Scherer were the key scorers with 4 goals each. South River was defeated 2-0 with Spiro Mamaligas providing the leg work for both goals. Coach Ciszewski really enjoys the season and he regrets the ending of his first year in the soccer program. Never- theless, Coach C,” is optimistic in saying, Soccer is an up and coming sport. I hope the interest for the sport spreads so the Sayreville soccer teams will be successful in the future.” Powerful strides by Ken Rosenblum brings him an advantage against the opposition. With the opponent practically nipping at his heels, Spiro Mamalingas still manages to di- rect the ball down field. JV Soccer 117 X Varsity Soccer: Front Row: Mike Eckstrom.

A loose ball gets by an opposing defender and the foot race is on for Tony Viola and Mike Caruso. The Blue Wave The Bomber Varsity Soccer team began the season with a change in leadership. Mr. Inman, last year’s J.V. coach, moved up to replace Mr. Hu- dock as head coach. Because Mr. In- man assumed the position and most of the team had played J.V. for him in 1981, the name “the Blue Wave” rolled in. The season was disappointing. In- juries, poor turnout, and a late start just put a damper on the team’s win- ning potential,” explained Mr. Inman. During this transition year, the rough MCAC took its toll on the Bombers, yet Mr. Inman was pleased with the senior members, who managed to provide an excellent defensive squad. Offensively, John Krall controlled the middle field at many key points, allow- ing other team members, often Mike Brady, to score. Coach Inman named Tony Viola most improved player for securing the fullback line. The high point of the season was SWMHS victory over South River with a score of 2-0. Unfortunately “the Blue Wave” lost some of its power later in the season. VARSITY SOCCER SWMHS OPPONENT 1 0 Perth Amboy 4 1 0 St. Joseph's 10 1 3 Hoffman 3 1 0 Colonia 1 1 East Brunswick 1 Vo.

Varsity Soccer 119 Undisturbed Tradition The Cross Country teams have tradi- tionally been successful here at SWMHS, and despite few senior mem- bers, this year’s teams finished with respectable records. Sophomore Tim Newsome was a bright spot to the boys’ team that fin- ished with a record of 6 and 3. The first loss, which came after 54 consecutive victories was to Madison Central, the previous team to have beaten Sayre- ville 6 years ago. Tim Newsome was outleaned” in this meet, suffering his only dual meet loss all season. The team as a whole, led by cap- tains Tom Reagan and Walter Tom- kowski, placed well in the County and Sectional meets registering third and seventh standings respectively. Even with the team’s three losses, the squad did manage to shut out 3 teams during the season. The girl’s team brought their record up to 5-3 for the season. Coach Doll feels that the girls reached their poten- tial since all have shown individual im- provement. The coach felt that Doreen Genua, the only senior on the team, was their most improved player. Among the other accomplishments, Junior Gail Kupcha managed to break the school record by one minute. She was also selected to the first team all Conference and All County. The girls participated in the Raider Invitational in Lakewood. Coach Doll found this com- petition to be one of the best memories of the season. “Each team member received some sort of medal or ribbon for their efforts. Every girl came home a winner.” Boys’ Cross Country: Front: Tom Reagan, Matt Lynch, John Koons, Tom Miglin, Brett Grossman, Bob Russo, Mr. Carney.

As the team sustained only 2 losses, Coach Doll pronounced the season, “Not bad for rebuilding.” Senior Tom Reagan was one bright spot among the runners. Tom ranked third in the state and first in the county for the 1600. Another senior, Lisa Mi- trosky, was county champ in the hur- dles, second in the 55 meter, and fifth in the shotput. Coach Doll named Gail Kupcha and Ron Miara as most im- proved members. The entire team scored its most im- pressive victory against J.P. Stevens.

Bringing in a near first place for performance was freshman Joann Chudkowski, with a 16-7 throughout the season and 13-3 for conference matches. The coach noted, “Joann usually guaranteed the team victory at first singles.” Also holding their own against tough com- petitors were senior Pat Murray and sophomore Janie Serrano with 4-16 and 5-16 records respectively. The season had its inconsistencies, many caused by the repositioning of players from singles to doubles match- es and vice versa. These changes were often necessitated by players’ injuries and, according to Coach Nicoliason, will create a more experienced and adaptable 1983 team. A powerful overhead swing plus a Rockette dance step gives Jill Yurewicz’s tennis a new style.

Twists And Turns Just as twists and turns are part of each gymnastic routine, the 1982 girls’ gymnastics team executed a rounda- bout route to come to their season re- cord of 9-2. The season started out strong with the Bomberettes crushing competition after competition. This season looked like another county crown. Then the girls top competitor, sophomore Diane Garbowski, was out for the season with torn ligaments in her ankle. Various other injuries further dampened the team’s potential. Yet once again, the Bomber spirit came alive. The girls, though suffering a great deal without Diane, all banded together and made it an exciting year after all. Junior Joni Mayer led the way with strong all around performances and an 8th place in the State Finals in the balance beam. Other highlights were senior Denise Marsch who ad- vanced to State competition on vault- ing bars and Lisa Kennedy who com- peted in the State on vaulting. Accord- ing to Miss Rudge, sophomore Reyne Borup promises to be one of Sayre- ville’s top scorers next year. As for this year the girls’ gymnastics team proved that no matter what, a great Bomber always lands on its feet. The eloquence of gymnastics is in the combination of dance and tumbling to music. Here, Laura Sullivan cheerily executes a graceful sequence. The Russian split may seem to be a troublesome task to some, but is a part of Joni Mayer’s daily routine. 126 Girls' Gymnastics With her back straight and hands firmly on the horse, Diane Garbowski proves she is a well- balanced student.

His routine on the rings certain- ly gives this impression. Starting Over Last year’s Boys’ Gymnastics team was a tough act to follow. Despite the inexperience of some members, the team qualified for the State Team Tournament and finished with a satis- fying 11th place. At the State Sectionals, all-around performer Tim Wiamer finished his high school career with a memorable 5th place finish on the high bar. Also quali- fying for the State Sectionals was par- allel bar specialist Tim Coman. A major setback for the team was a shoulder injury to Art Almeida keeping him off the rings. According to Mr. He- felfinger, Tim Wiamer and Shaun Cochran were the most improved play- ers. Shaun progressed from being last year’s manager to successfully com- peting on the rings, high bar, and pom- mel horse.

Wrestling team completed their best season thus far with a 9 and 5 record. Coach Fi- scher explained, “There were more wrestlers this year than last year, re- sulting in fewer forfeits and a better wrestling ability being developed by the entire team.” The most notable wrestlers this year were sophomores Rich Lucas, at 170 pounds who received first place, and Lorenzo Fernandez, at 115 pounds who won third place in the Novice Tourney. Junior Jeff Reagan, at 158 pounds, also placed third at the Novice Tourney. The win over South River served as a memorable one for the team as attest- ed to by the coach, “We gave up four forfeits and still won the match by one point! However, the competitive spirit of this JV Wrestling team predicts a successful varsity season next year. With two important team members out with injuries, a pensive Coach Fischer considers the options. 130 JV Wrestling JV WRESTLING SWMHS OPPONENT 36 South River 33 32 Middlesex 24 36 Green Brook 3 10 East Brunswick 40 34 J.P.

For the first time ever the Bombers had a winning season culmi- nating in a win at the Woodbridge Christmas Invitational Tournament. Stated Coach Zaleski, “Last year the Bomber wrestlers were within 12 points of a winning season; this year they did it. A driving force during the season was the tri-captain Rob Anth- ony, and District Champion, Tony Viola. Seniors Ed Mahalick and Matt Pachkowski, too, were instrumental with their 1st place awards at the Woodbridge Tournament. Another credit to their outstanding season was their premiere defeat of J.P. Stevens. According to Coach Za- leski, This season was the most suc- cessful and satisfying I’ve had because of the quality of the young men on the team and the support of the adminis- trators, faculty, students, and par- ents. He believes that next year will be at least as successful due to the competitive spirit of the team members and the stronghold the wrestling pro- gram has taken in the high school.

OUTSHOOTING THEIR GOALS Using the best of their skills, the Girls’ Varsity Basketball team finished the season with a record of 13 wins and 8 losses. The oustanding players and the agressive team's desire to win contributed greatly to Coach Sunski’s vast satisfaction as she commented, “My team this year played better and accomplished more than I expected.” Although the height averaged 5’5”, the speed of the defensive players more than compensated for this phys- ical handicap. The leader of the team in assists in Caryn Lukie who averaged seven per game. With a total number of 51 assists, Caryn also scored high with an average of nine points per game as does Kate Briody. Following close behind Caryn in assists, Kate averaged six per game and has a total of 48. Last but far from least was high scorer Chris Mormak, averaging 10 points and 12 rebounds per game. Coach Sunski felt that knowing this was her last coaching season spurred the girls on to win. “I thoroughly en- joyed my last season and am proud of my athletes. Girls Basketball: Front: Chris Romel.

OUTSTANDING OFFENSE, DEVASTATING DEFENSE Girls’ JV Basketball: Front: Sue Whiteford, Lisa Grankowski, Vanessa Carney, Joyce Winkler. Back: Gina Rispoli, Terry Lockwood, Coach Ryan, Stacy Gardner, Heleen Hogan. Pre-game drills and rigorous prac- tice helped the SWMHS Girls' JV Bas- ketball team to finish up the year with a 7 and 10 record. The team’s effort and desire to win along with the outstand- ing skill of point guard, Vanessa Car- ney, and forward, Terry Lockwood, also aided the team in overcoming the opposition. During each game, a different cap- tain was appointed in order to provide all the girls a chance to build their lead- ership abilities. Most of the time the Girls' JV Basketball team outscored their opponent in the fourth quarter, an asset to any group moving to the varsi- ty level. Coach Ryan explained their most exciting game by saying, “With the score tied at 26 and three minutes re- maining in the game, the tenacious Sayreville defense held Perth Amboy scoreless and went on to win the game 32-26. With their outstanding offense and devasting defense, the Bomber- ettes always “bounced back. A bounce pass by Vanessa Carney to the open teammate puts the Bomber offense on the move upcourt. Some smooth dribbling and a fast cut to the right provided Terri Lockwood with an opening through the Woodbridge defense. GIRLS JV BASKETBALL SWMHS OPPONENT i 28 J.P.

GOOD SPORTS The JV dribblers this year played tough but couldn’t overcome their op- position. Coach Ciszewski commend- ed his team on their ability to abide by good sportsmanship, particularly when their opponents did not. Wins and loses though, can’t de- scribe the “good sportsmanship, drive, and skill” displayed by the basket shooters according to Coach Cis- zewski. “Forward Jim Harvey and cen- ter Phil Esteves who averaged 14 points per game were the most pro- ductive players this season,” cited the coach. Their excellent performances, however, weren’t the only ones. They had the help of other team members such as co-captain Steve Czacker and Stan Grabowski who averaged 12-15 rebounds per game. The Bombers defeated J.P. Stevens in double overtime in their most excit- ing game of the season. On this suc- cess, Coach Ciszewski commented, “They never gave up and played hard to the buzzer.” SPIRITED SHOOTERS ABOVE: Fans and fellow team members await the success or the failure of Craig McCoy’s block. RIGHT: A fast break finds Scott Jurkiewicz out- smarting the high hand of his opponent. BELOW: Looking for an opening in the tough Cougar defense, Mike O’Hare gets ready to score two more for the Bombers. “Team members gave a 100% ef- fort as they played as hard as they could every game,” boasted Coach Breheney. That effort and outstanding teamwork might have added up to a more impressive record if the team had not been handicapped by a lack of height,” the coach added. The team may have been a bit “short” of their “goals,” but it certain- ly wasn’t short on leaders. Leading scorer was center Paul Ortiz with an 11.6 points per game, followed closely by Scott Jurkiewicz with 10.6 points per game and Mike O’Hare with 10.4 points per game. Defense leaders in- cluded Senior Frank Szukics and Ju- niors Craig McCoy and Steve Bulla. Fi- nally, Captain Mike Veronsky caught the attention of the fans at the victory over St. Mary’s with his overhead long shot (see photo on p. 193). The dis- tinctive shot became Mike’s trademark several years ago, when he played in- formal games with players much taller than himself. With the score often as hard to fol- low as the proverbial bouncing ball, the season’s high points also included the close loss to St. Joe’s in the second half of the season and the two-point win over Edison. i One of the Bomber s most aggressive players, Scott Jurkiewicz, uses many Surrounded by opponents, Jim Okamura attempts to drive the ball to defensive tactics including the stare demonstrated here. open court.

BUOYANT BOMBERS Can a successful team be a “family affair?” This year’s swim team includ- ed three family pairs which aided the team greatly in their efforts to win. Getting their opponents “all wet” was what the Bombers accomplished as they splashed their way to their first winning record. Combining practice and experience with determination, this year’s team swam and dove to a 7- 5 record. Along with the record came the indi- vidual effort of the team members. Sophomores Reyne Borup and Stacy Jablonski qualified for the State Tour- ney, while junior Chris Bloch went un- defeated in the 100 meter freestyle and butterfly. Between these three, five records were broken during the sea- son. An exciting victory was brought to us over our crosstown rival, Cedar Ridge. Although three swimmers were out of commission, the team used everything they had and overcame their opponents. Declared Coach Tice, I think everyone gave 110 percent. They did just great.” Powerful strokes are made by Chuck Foschini in an effort to propel himself to another victory for the Bomber team.

This enthusi- astic group of sophomores has proven to be an easy match for their advisor. She is pleased and states, “We have a good group of officers and a good group of students.” Having been a class officer and Stu- dent Council member herself Miss D’A- mico decided to become a sophomore class advisor because it “gave me a chance to be active in something and to show the sophomores how much fun it can be.” The job is far from all fun and games, however, Miss D’Amico devotes time before homeroom and an average of two days after school a week to the class. This average was increased dur- ing construction of the award winning “Muppet Movie” float. The success of the float was a great help in lifting the class spirit. The next thing to be lifted was the sophomore bank account, through the selling of candy, jewelry, holiday hats, stockings, and gift wrap. The sophomores are a cooperative group, affirmed Miss D’Amico; “They’re all outstanding.” Sophomore Class Advisers and Officers: Front: Paul Birardi, Treas.; Janet Poestch, Sec'y; Joyce Bodnar, V.

When asked, tenth-grader Joanne Esposito submitted the following an- swer. I’m really not sure about what I want to do in twenty years, but here are three different ideas I’ve had. I would like to be a truck driver, speeding around the country and dodging in and out of “smokeys”. Driving my eighteen wheel convention- al, I’d go from state to state with my hubby. I’d enjoy my life on the open road with the wind blowing in my face, the radio blasting, and my foot pushing ‘‘the pedal to the metal”. Or I would probably be all settled down with a family and friends and a lot of kids in a little house on a hill with a white picket fence. But most of all I would like to be a nurse in a hospital where I could help the young kids, especially the mentally retarded and handicapped. Where will we find Joanne in 2003?

There was a sudden surge into the hall- way. The corridor was filled with loud voices, lockers slamming, and laugh- ter. Within three minutes, the hall was again calm. The survivors were still pressed against lockers. “What was that?!” I cried. “That was the seniors going home after fifth period, something they’ve been waiting for since they were soph- omores. Ready to go downstairs?” my guide asked. “Uh, I don’t think so.

If you decided right now to be an expert in computer technology, a black belt in karate, or even President of the United States and you concentrated all, or even most, of your energy into that one goal, would you make it? Eleventh grader, Lori Ann Foster, is headed for a career in performing arts, she hopes. Here we are on opening night, 2003. I guess everyone on opening night always gets a few jitters, but I still feel great! In every aspect I feel fantastic! LOOK AT ME! Here I am doing what I’ve always dreamed of doing. I know it’s real because I can really feel it! Now I can show everyone what I can do, and I can make them see how much I enjoy entertaining them. This is a feeling that no one would be able to hide. Ever since I was little the only kind of attention that satisfied me was the thought of just making people hap- py, and the only way I could do it was by putting on a different face and act- ing differently. I’ve always had this feel- ing that I was born to do this so I’m gonna get up and do what I do best! Hold the applause, now, for 2003.

The main ob- jective this year was to raise as much money as possible to prepare for sen- ior expenses next year. This Junior class has sold cookies, candy, and decorative shoelaces. The officers have their own responsi- bilities, but the rest of the work is han- dled on a voluntary basis. Their advi- sor, Mrs. Jardula, states, I think it is a privilege to work with other dedicated advisors and class officers as well as the class members. I think they are all great.” She became class advisor be- cause, ‘‘I enjoy the kids in class and even more after school.” Mrs. Jardula knows that it’s difficult to divide time between teaching and being an advisor, but with efficient people, it’s easier. She felt that the success of the prom in May made all the work seem worthwhile, so much so that she almost wishes the class of ’84 would never graduate . . . almost.

Her zeal to com- pete has given her both motivation and victory. Lisa’s long line of track meets and relays began in 9th grade when she joined Spring Track. From there on her sneakers led her to 11th grade and the State Sectional championship. Since that goal has been attained, Lisa now sets her sights on winning in state com- petition. “I love to run, really. You get to trav- el to different towns and meet a lot of people,” explains Lisa. But running isn't the only event she participates in. The long jump helped her to win the state sectionals. Besides that, Lisa takes part in shot put, discus, and jave- lin event. Knowing graduation isn’t so far off, Lisa has a good idea of what she’s going to do after high school. Hopeful- ly attending either Villanova, Perdue or Colorado State, she will major in Chemistry and join the university track team. Setting goals and reaching them is one thing Lisa Mitrosky enjoys doing, but she realizes you have to ‘‘learn how to win and lose, especially lose.” Hav- ing both won and lost some, Lisa still keeps reaching high and proving that she is a true athlete. Runner Lisa Mitrosky shows that boys aren't the only ones who benefit from “pumping iron.” ARTHUR ALMEIDA: 10 Wilmot Rd., Sayre. Gymnastics 2, 3, Capt. 4. LIZA SUSAN ALVARADO: 13 Fanwood Dr., Sayre..

To you it’s only a reflection, but for ten seniors here at SWMHS, this image may be a real person. The five senior sets of twins are: Lisa and Lori Blaszka, John and Mike Brady, Jean- nie and Patti Harrison, Ray and Ron Miara, and Jean and Joan Targonski. For Lisa and Lori, there’s always someone there to talk to. Jean and Joan can even share their clothes. After a while, the only problem is whose are whose? But things are not always twice as much fun in twindom. There is always competition, for example, between Ray and Ron, who both play football. Jeannie and Patti admit that they’re extra close, but dislike having to share everything, especially birthdays. Names getting mixed up, unfortu- nately, happens quite often. Right, John ... I mean, Mike? All in all, though, our twins agree that they are lucky to have a live-in best friend. They can also have a little fun by switching places and driving people crazy. That’s something most of us couldn’t pull off. Clear your desks and prepare to take a visual test. Examine the pictures on this page and count the number of people in each photograph. Your choices are A) 1 B) 2 C) 3 D) 4. The correct answer is “B for binary. Actually, pictured left to right are the binary pairs Ron and Ray Miara. Mike and John Brady, Jean and Joan Targonski.

Bukow ---PROFILE Jack-Of-AII-Sports The sports teams of SWMHS are re- presented by a many average players, but it is only once in a while do we find an outstanding player like Paul Ortiz. Reflecting upon his earlier years, this senior sensation comments, ‘‘The best feeling I’ve ever had was winning my first high school football game.” A native of Newark and in a family of six, Paul first started playing organized sports with the Sayreville Leprechauns and eventually advanced himself to the junior high football and freshman basketball. He’s been mak- ing SWMHS history ever since. Being an all county wide receiver, Paul leads the Bomber football team as safety and wide receiver. He also keeps the Basketball Bombers in the “hoops” as a strong forward. In the future, he plans to help out other teams when he attends Montclair State, Rutgers Uni- versity or Lehigh University as a Busi- ness major. Disappointed by this year’s football season, Paul left this comment for fu- ture SWMHS players: ‘‘I have never seen a team that wanted to win as much as we did. There is no doubt in my mind that if the players keep the same attitude, our time of winning foot- ball will come.” He also feels that more spectator participation, assemblies and pep rallies could boost the school spirit of the Senior High. Summing up all the years at SWMHS Paul feels he developed a sense of re- sponsibility and self-motivation. He concluded, “Going here gave me a good experience.” Does athlete Paul Ortiz really enjoy the aca- demic aspects of SWMHS? 166 Seniors Theresa V.

Nicknames came from varied and strange sources, as the yearbook staff learned when they polled the class of ’83 on the subject. Here are some of the more interesting examples: Debra Ann Antonides, alias “Pipes”: I don't really know if you can call it a nickname, but in 10th grade Health class we were discussing poisons around the house, only I wasn’t paying attention. Anyway, Mr. Helwig asked me what was under my sink and I said, “Pipes”. The whole class cracked up including Mr. Helwig. By the next day everyone I knew, even some people who weren’t in the class that day, were calling me Pipes”. Ray Miara, alias FDR: FDR means Full Day Ray. The Foot- ball team gave me the nickname be- cause I was the only senior player on a full day schedule. Matt Pachkowski, alias Skip: I was thumbing through the Preppie Handbook, one day, when I came across a listing of all preppie nick- names. I thought it would be neat to adopt a new nickname, just for the heck of it. “Skip” had a certain ring to it so I asked my closest friends to call me it. Once “Skip” was published as my byline in the newspaper, the name stuck as everyone, students and teachers alike, began to call me it.

She began her singing career as a fourth grader at Eisenhow- er Grammar School in their annual tal- ent show. Now Judy is a member of the SWMHS Chorus, St. Mary’s Folk Group and the Diocese of Metuchen Festival Choir. Last year she attended the Middlesex County Arts High School, where she was honored with the Outstanding Vocal Student Award. She also sings at weddings, banquets, and other affairs. She names the high point of her ca- reer as her last performance with a close friend. They often sang together at mass. For this occasion they were singing their favorite song for the last time. The song was so perfect that we cried as we sang. When we had fin- ished, we looked around and saw that the whole congregation was crying with us.” The beauty of Judy’s story is truly equal to the power of her voice. Judy hopes to continue her musical endeavors by attending Georgian Court, Kean College, or Westminster Choir College. She would like to be a professional performer and eventually settle into teaching. 170 Seniors Tom DiBenedetto Amy Dietsch The Christmas spirit beamed through Brunswick Square Mall as Judy Berardicelli soloed “O Holy Night.

Ferguson SPIRIT OF ’83 With prices climbing and condomin- iums going up in your once favorite spots, is there anything good about inflation? Well, there is the rise in school spirit to consider. According to the answers to questionnaries this past September, more than half the seniors said their school spir- it had increased since sophomore year. When the profound question of “Why?” came up, the responses varied. Because I’m a senior!”, “high school only comes once - you should enjoy it,” or our teams are getting better.” A more visible answer could be in the actions of the members of the Class of '83. Many of these seniors go to their favorite sports events and root” the players to victory. There seems to be a rise in volunteers for preparation for class activities. When tick- ets for a dance or prom go on sale, the quota is quickly filled up as class mem- bers eagerly prepare for another get-to- gether. The class of '83 seems to enjoy getting groups together after school ac- tivities and just celebrating being a mem- ber of a “Bomber” team. But is school spirit really needed? Can we survive without it? The SWMHS Stu- dent Council came up with the definitive answer, “School spirit provides the vital- ity to make school a more rewarding ex- perience.” The class of '83 has set an example to attain this ideal. 172 Seniors Patrick Ferugson Sal Ferrigno Ivan Ferro Ken Festino Stacie Field Michael Fingerlin Lisa Firestine Catherine Fischer Theresa Fischer Bernadette Fitzpatrick Brian Flaherty Patricia Dawn Fogarty JUDITH A.

Freyer Mark Fusco James Gallagher ACTING DUO Being called Greasers hasn’t both- ered Barbara McDonald and Kathy Grau because it reminded them of their involvement in the community theatre, a direction they chose in order to ex- tend themselves beyond the bound- aries of high school drama. Both Barbara and Kathy decided theatre was for them after performing in the high school production of West Side Story in 1981. By January, 1982, they had joined the St. Law- rence Playhouse in Lawrence Harbor. Both girls performed in the community version of Grease and have helped with scenery in several performances. In community theatre “the cast is the crew,” they agreed. Kathy also direct- ed A Christmas Carol in which Bar- bara performed. Barbara was enthusi- astic about being directed by Kathy: “Communication was better with someone my own age. She really lis- tened to my opinion more than anyone else would have.” The senior actresses plan to contin- ue activity in the theatre; Kathy has set her short range goal attending Mason Gross School of the Arts and a longer range one on becoming an Equity member. Barbara plans a career in physical therapy but will “keep going on” in performing for the personal sat- isfaction it provides. CHARLES J. FOSCHINI: 79 Orchard St., So. Amboy.

However, Dave Saltzman took on juggling in a more literal sense in the spring of 1980. In- spired by a television demonstration and beginning with tennis balls, Dave invested at least five hours of self-di- rected practice per week. His best ex- perience thus far has been stopping passers-by with an impromptu perfor- mance on Madison Avenue. Dave recently invested in some pro- fessional juggling materials, but part of his current act involves some personal- ly designed props and jokes that al- ways make him a hit at informal gath- erings. He hopes to begin his sideline entertaining career with children’s par- ties. Only then will he consider explor- ing the professional opportunities. From his experience, Dave assuredly declared, “Now I know that real clowns do exist. Seniors 177 NOT A DRAG—RACING Hardly touching the ground, this Camaro is capable of speeding Vinnie Kjersgaard toward the finish line. A talk with Vinnie Kjersgaard about drag racing turned out to be a bit of a “racy” experience. First he discussed his Super Pro car, a '69 Camaro, built primarily by his father with help from Vinnie and friends. Already a meet win- ner at Raceway Park, Vinnie admitted he’d been a regular visitor there since he was seven years old, and refers to it as his “home track.” Known to his fel- low drivers and fans as “Raritan Vin”, he indicated, “I knew what I was do- ing,” with regard to his first win. Vinnie acquired his knowledge from on-the-track observation as well as reading up on what’s happening on area tracks. Of course, the hands-on rebuilding and customizing in his fa- ther’s shop, Raritan Speed, where Vin- nie is employed, must have helped. Vinnie averaged 28 hours per week there in his senior yeat at SWMHS. His involvement in drag racing is still a hobby to Vinnie, but one that is inter- esting, fun, and demanding. His long range plans include building his own Pro car. The project cost of this car is $80,000.00.

Mom and Dad seem to develop wrinkles just saying the words. College admissions personnel and military re- cruiters welcome seniors with a kind of greed. But how did the members of the Class of '83 feel? Typical responses were the predict- able “great”, “old” and able to boss around underclasspeople. Elaine Mi- chel couldn’t understand anyone not loving it. Eileen Himey compared her high school years to World War II. Jean Baumann did not look forward to leav- ing. Kelly Ann Harrigan compared her situation to being in shock. Perhaps Stephanie Skibicki spoke best for the class: “You’re no longer a follower, but a leader.” Keith A.

Kowalski Seniors 181 Carol Kowzan John M. Krall Russell Krause Thomas Kreseski SERVICE BOUND SENIORS A trend increasing each year is that more of our young people are becom- ing a part of this country’s armed forces. Two enlistees for each service were interviewed about their motiva- tions and predictions regarding the services. Both Joe McCartney and Reynaldo Roldan chose the U.S. Army. Joe will serve as a paratrooper in the 82nd Air- borne Division, full time. He chose this route as a result of careful consider- ation of the possibility of unemploy- ment, the economy, and the opportu- nity for adventure the service might provide. A future student at either the Marion Military Institute, West Point Prep, or West Point, Reynaldo hopes to become a lawyer. After graduating from one of these schools, he looks forward to a career with officer’s bene- fits. Senior Richard Blackford plans to make the U.S. Air Force his career. He wants to become a pilot by serving full time. Matt Pachkowski has enlisted in the U.S. Air Force ROTC program as a way of paying for college and estab- lishing his medical career. This pro- gram will pay tuition for medical school so that Matt can become a flight sur- geon. John Brady feels that his enlistment in the U.S. Navy full time is right for him, and that the benefits later on will be great. Brian Flaherty also foresees benefits, the most important one being the respect his military status will merit. Brian has joined the U.S. Navy and plans to become an electrician on a ship. The benefits of a military career as viewed by Joe, Brian, Reynaldo, Rich- ard, Matt, and John were as diversified as the boys themselves, yet all seemed to recognize that their attitude toward their enlistments was crucial to their satisfaction and success.

McGuire SELF-MADE Over the years, SWMHS has pro- duced many car mechanics, and this year is no exception. Jim Buckalew, a senior, has extensively worked on a '66 Mustang by rebuilding the engine, re- storing the interior, replacing body parts, repairing the exterior and adding customizing touches. John Scanlon, also a senior, has completely rebuilt the engine of a Dodge van, as well as customizing it, inside and out. Surprisingly neither has ever taken courses in mechanics. Both cited their best training experience as the work they have done on their own and their friends’ cars. There is always the element of dan- ger when working with cars which both Jim and John recognize. Jim was once showered by acid when a battery ex- ploded. John’s most perilous exper- ience involved turning on a compressor with a lift already in a raised position. This resulted in the car turning onto its side. Fortunately both Jim and John learned from their experiences. Like most seniors, Jim and John are undecided as to their careers, but are considering the automotive field as one possibility. John emphasized that he has already saved himself quite a bit of money by doing his own work. Jim has even encouraged others to take up car repair: “Cars are always going to be around. It can only help you to know something about them.” COLEEN M. LYONS: 427 So. Pine Ave., So. Amboy. ROBERT LYONS. 480 So. Pine Ave., So. Amboy. JV Baseball 2, 3.

Marino Denise Marsch Sharon Martens Daniel Martin Joanne Matagrano Robert Matt Barbara Matthews Ron Matthews Thomas Matysik Andrew Maze Catherine Mazzara Debbie Meany Memories, Pressed Between The Pages . . . Is there such a thing as a good high school memory? After three years of trying to remember locker combina- tions, homework pages, and when and where the next quiz is going to “pop up,” could one happily reminisce about their high school days? Sports events often make memories. For instance, Ivan Ferro will remember that 1982 was the year the golf team came in third at the championships. The undefeated track team will always provide Doreen Genua with a fond memory of high school. Joy Brady will think of victorious plays in line soccer against the sophomores. Finally, men- tion of the sophomore float still brings a smile to Stacie Field’s face, as she recalls portraying a pig. The sporting fields are not the only terrain for memory-making, however. A not so enthused Ken Dempkowski would rather not remember high school, but admitted to enjoying the “snow days.” The marching band trip to Virginia will stay alive for Linda Mey- er. Dan Prevosnak will always wonder if the “Super Bomber Combo” is still alive. Kathy Burns feels the agony of falling down in front of the “whole” school at the Almost Anything Goes assembly. Finally, John Casella will al- ways hail Julius Caesar. No doubt, every SWMHS senior can hail some fitting reminders of their high school “daze.” Jay Medlin Susan Meise Linda Meyer Ray Miara Ron Miara Teresa L. Michalik Elaine M.

Also a permanent guest in most homes by ’83 was an Atari system. Its bleep-bleeping, however, was no com- petition for the Who Farewell Concerts or the invasion of new wave-rockabilly by the Stray Cats. Compliments of the Monroes, this year’s musical question had to be, “What do all the people know?” Well, a few here at SWMHS really knew how to dress, choosing sweat- suits, long polka-dotted tops, mini skirts, leg warmers, and last but not least, deer sweaters. Yet, ’82-’83 was not all a year of fads and entertainment. It brought the tragic Tylenol poisonings and a two month plus pro football strike. Much closer to home was the Sony Walkman controversy. Leaving behind their friends and school, the Class of ’83 will always re- tain memories of a sensational senior year. Without some of these fads and fashions, perhaps it would have been just another year. 188 Seniors Although Jean Marie Baumann displays the garb of today, she is thoroughly absorbed in a discus- sion of the world literature of the past.

But what about all those little girls who also dream about the big leagues? What happens to them? Well, as it turns out, right here in Sayreville lies the answer. No, it’s not a date with a season ticket holder; it's the Sayreville Girls Softball League, one of the many which have spread across the country. Most of the girls have been playing for three or four years; however, Patti Lynch has been playing since the third grade. This kind of experience pays off. By now Doreen Savona feels that “some of the players have the ability to compete in the boys’ leagues.’’ Every girl in the league had memora- ble experience like hitting a homer which won a championship game. Lisa Firestine can also remember when hers, like every other team, messed up a game. The worst feeling for everyone is having to graduate because the playing age ends at 17. Finally when asked if they planned to continue play- ing, Carol Kowzan summed it up for all the rest of the big leaguers: “Of course!” DIAMOND DOLLS Nothing can brighten these members of the Sayreville Girls Softball League more than the prospect of a winning season.

He is now a member of New Jersey’s All State Chorus. Everyone should have such bad days! Kevin became a recognized singer when he won the lead in SWMHS’s West Side Story as a sophomore. After that his career took off. He went on to perform in Bye Bye Birdie in his junior year and in Carousel as a sen- ior. Kevin also developed and starred in the TAG production of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dream- coat. He travelled with the All State Cho- rus to the NJEA Convention in Atlantic City where he had a memorable time. Kevin described the best part of his experience: “To sing with those people for a receptive audience and to realize the beauty of the music I was helping to create sent a thrill through my body.” And Kevin promised that he’d always remember that SWMHS gave him his start.

E-SPECIAL-LY BUSY “Special” takes on new meaning when used to describe Laura Sullivan whose background and current inter- ests made her a very special senior this year. Active in class activities, the Spanish Club, the Spanish Honor Soci- ety, and the newspaper staff, Laura also found time to manage the Boys’ Basketball Team, participate as a member of the Girls’ Gymnastic Team, and edit the senior section of this year- book. A busy girl, wasn’t she? And there was one more thing-Laura spent a minimum of fifteen hours per week giving her younger sister, Sheila, the special kind of attention she needed. Sheila is truly a special person to Laura, her family, her friends, and to anyone who meets her. At thirteen, she is so severely brain damaged that she will never walk or talk. Laura has been caring for Sheila for seven years now, and felt a strong attachment to the “baby” since the day she first came home from the hospital. “I thought she belonged to me . . . that my mother had her so that I could have a real baby,” Laura admitted. In November, 1981, Sheila returned home from the hospital again, this time after a high risk operation in which her spine was fused to a metal rod. With- out the operation, Sheila’s physician had predicted within a year she would succumb to pneumonia. Laura de- scribed that homecoming as the best day in her life. Laura’s TAG project this year aided individuals less handicaped than Shei- la. She helped the high school’s Spe- cial Education Department tape var- ious pieces for use by blind and other special students. In the future, Laura plans to become a Special Education teacher, and later she hopes to help amend the laws re- garding the handicapped. A bubbly smile from Sheila makes Laura’s day worthwhile, a feeling she’d like to share with others. “Most people just don’t appreciate the special people God gave us,” Laura concluded.

Then there are people like Diane Poweska who take this statement more literally. Interested in art since the 6th grade, Diane has been exploring her talents through such courses as Introduction to Design, Advanced Art and now Art Workshop. She has attended the Art Institution School for two years in preparation for art school after gradu- ation. Diane has made many projects over the year. She has dabbled in charcoal After months of hard work Diane Poweska can finally smile in relief as she proudly displays her project. pencil, pastels, wire and airbrushing, but painting is her favorite medium. Her original ideas come from books, magazines, and even Mr. Resh. Once they’re completed, she says they stay at home in her room. After three months, Diane has fin- ished this year’s project, one of her last works. She has drawn free hand, and then painted a Judas Priest cover for her boyfriend, Ken Festino. The project was detailed and she admits, “I would never have finished without help from my friends.” Andrea M. Spiegel Dawn Spinola Walter J. Starzec Jr. Debra J.

Num- ber seven, Mark Przybylowski ad- mitted, “I am content with being num- ber seven, but I feel that class rank should not be overemphasized be- cause it detracts from the real purpose of a high school education.” Suzie Bu- fano, number eight, agreed, “The friends and experiences I’ve had dur- ing my three years at Sayreville High School are just as important to me as the education I’ve obtained.” Why is it great to be number three? “It’s a prime number, get it?” said An- drea Spiegel. A little more serious, but just as proud, number nine Janet Wos felt that “By doing by best these past years, I have accomplished this goal and feel that it was worth it.” Number four Jessica Bauer respond- ed, “I’d just like to thank the four peo- ple who helped me get here: my par- ents, Ms. Sutherland, and four, but not last, me!” To Jeanne Harrison, number six, I’m six times better than one.” Helen Freid, number five, quoted Jef- ferson Airplane: “To be any more than all I am would be a lie.” Dave Saltzman number ten, dreamed, “Bo Derek and I A preview of Matt Pachkowski’s valedictory speech included, “To’ be the valedictorian of the Class of 1983 of SWMHS is indeed an honor I am very proud to hold. It is an academic goal that took a lot of hard work and determiniation, but the satisfaction and rewards made the effort worth- while. Salutatorian Carol Kowzan sim- ply replied, “The hardest thing in my high school career was thinking up a quote for this article. No, make that an acceptable quote!” A proud Matt Pachkowski displays his placement ‘‘with class. A smile on Salutatorian Carol Kowzan’s face expresses her sense of achievement. The 1983 sign of success consists of this year’s numbers 3-10: 3-Andrea Spiegel, 4-Jessica Bauer, 5-Helen Freid, 6-Jeanne Harri- son, 7-Mark Przybylowski, 8-Suzie Bufano, 9-Janet Wos, 10-Dave Saltzman. 199 Top Ten Rich S.

Wiamer Diane Wigbers Jacqueline Williams A WELL-DIRECTED CLASS With all the time required for plan- ning new activities, it’s a wonder the Senior Class officers had time to orga- nize and successfully execute these activities. President Jay Medlin, Vice President Terri Kellert, Secretaries Jeanne Nehila and Kim Pancurak, and Treasurer Lori Blaszka have also man- aged to raise school spirit. They all think that the class spirit has grown since sophomore year and that it had peaked during senior year. They also feel that the class was very supportive of most activities. There was a great turnout at last year’s Junior Prom and at this year’s Home- coming game. Without their advisors, Mrs. Groncki, Mrs. Lasko, Mrs. Gola, and Mrs. Moore, though, things might not have been so successful. Terri Kel- lert says the advisors to the Class of '83 were “the best” and were a great help through the years. The officers planned a St. Valen- tine’s Day dance as a final fund-raiser. They also promised a great prom, the annual Almost Anything Goes assem- bly, and an Easter candy sale. Significant accomplishments behind and goals for the future, Jay Medlin still says, “It’s hard work, but in the end, the rewards are greater than the task.” Senior Class Officers: Front: Kim Pancurak, Secy, Jeanne Nehila, Sec’y- Back: Terri Kellert.

Unconventional though we were, we still got our work done. It has once again come time to thank those people who helped us in the DIRECTION of success for this year’s yearbook. Thank you ... to the lady with the abundance of orange cropping pen- cils, and nearly all the answers, Miss Donoghue ... to Ms. Sutherland for a place of refuge for one harried Editor- in-Chief... to Mr. Geletei for our spe- cial passes ... to Miss Sowa, Mrs. Jardula, and Mrs. Lasko for their food donations to near ravenous staff mem- bers ... to Mrs. Dulemba for the FSA pictures ... to Greg Costich for his personal picture delivery service ... to Bob Damato for some lovely printing .. . to the A207 custodians who let us stay late and never complained about the Reese’s Pieces on the floor . . . finally to Mr. Dill and all other faculty members for their constant coopera- tion and support. We’d also like to thank Ms. Bittle for keeping A207 a lively place, while be- ing serious enough to help us put out a yearbook that we are truly proud of. We seniors hate to leave her because she always kept us laughing. A tear comes to the eye, but then we think of her in that disposable graduation cap .
