Although we’ve only known Mrs. Y a short time, her love and concern will leave us with fond memories of our days at Hoffman and the true bond of friendship that has grown between us. For all this, and much more, we dedicate our Yearbook, Notre Livre, to you, Mrs. Yadlowsky. C'mon Yaddles, Smile! Oh, That's really beat. 15 SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS: Mr. G., ADVISOR; Annette Puccio, Secretary; Donna Coyle, Vice President; Ellen Carey, President; Sharon Malkiewicz, Treasurer. We the class of 1980 would like to express our thanks to Mrs. McDonnell and Mr. Gonsalves. In the past four years they have inspired us greatly. They were not only our advisors, but also our friends. At times we may not have been aware of their help, but looking back, we realize all they have done for us. They have helped us through the good times and the bad times. We will be forever grateful.

In the history of American sports, no game has caught on as quickly and with as much excitement and enthusiasm as soccer. This has been proven here at Hoffman for in the last three years the team has compiled a record of 37-17-1. This is only the beginning, for the youth of South Amboy are showing already the signs of wanting to continue this new tradition of excelling in America’s newest sport. MR.

The team is presently 15 wins — 0 losses, and is busily preparing for the County and State Tournament. Our team has already broken numerous records, and has beaten all of our opponents by 20 pts. or more. With continued improvement, this could be our year to go all the way — win the conference, county and state titles. Coach R.
