Her guiding hand has led us through the experiences of the past four years. We have known her gentle art of per- suasion, as she graced all our activities. She has taught us to love her Divine Son in others, and as we graduate, we take her with us into the world of tomorrow. Mary, our chief guide, ever urges us on toward our supreme goal. She is aided and supported by our spiritual and academic guides, the administrators and faculty of our school. Our Lady, who teaches us to render divine homage through Christ, is the center of our life. In all our activities, she rules supreme. We taste her sweetness in prayer and know the joy of a retreat well made. She reigns at our dances and brings true en- joyment to our social functions. We have recourse to Mary who gives our athletes the humble confidence necessary for victory. Our Mother, the spouse of the Spirit of Love, urges us to love all her children in Christ. This love should spur us on to greater acts of courtesy and charity toward our schoolmates, and it should overflow in kindness arid good will toward our neighbor. We earnestly implore Mary to assist us in our journey through life. We beg her to accompany us, as we proceed through life towards the Eternal Commencement. We, the graduating class of 1962, dedicate to Our Lady, the Immaculate Mother of God, our first yearbook. Mary’s name has been woven into our lives; she is the patroness of our parish, the namesake of our school. She is linked to us by the ties of Marian, Marvite, and Mercy. Marian care has guided those who established our par- ish, and inspired those who built our school in 1892. Since 1919 the high school has been under Mary’s protection. She has preserved our buildings in time of disaster and aided those who led us through all our difficulties. We participate in our religious, academic, and social activities under the name Marvite. We are Mary’s sons and daughters desiring to be “a little” like our Mother. She has assisted us in all our accomplishments, and we have felt her love and companionship in all our scholastic en- deavors. Much of our instruction has come to us from the Sisters of Mercy. Our Lady of Mercy, their patroness, wears a crown as she reigns from her throne, and in her hand is a royal sceptre. The Sisters have brought her to reign in our hearts. Fittingly, then, we dedicate our yearbook to Mary and name it after her own Mercy sceptre. His Holiness Pope John XXIII “Vocabor Joannes“I shall be called ]ohn., These important words were spoken by Angelo Guiseppe Cardinal Roncalli on October 28, 1958, the occasion of his elec- tion as the 263rd successor of Saint Peter. This choice of a name clearly symbolized the new Pope’s dependence on the Blessed Virgin and his great desire to be under her protection. In his acceptance speech the Pope-elect asked for guidance from the Blessed Moth- er when he said, “May John the Evangelist who, as he himself relates, took to himself Mary, the Mother of Christ and our Moth- er, support together with her our exhorta- tion to the Baptist, to cry out for Our hum- ble pastoral ministry, ‘to prepare the way of the Lord, to straighten His paths . . . that all mankind may see the saving power of God,’ which is meant for the life and joy of the Catholic and Apostolic Church, and also the peace and prosperity of all nations.” His Holiness relies on the loving care of the Blessed Virgin assisted by both Johns to help him with the burdens of the Papacy and direct him in the spread of Christ’s kingdom on earth. The Most Reverend George W. Ahr “Maria Spes Mca.} “Mary My Hope ” These words have guided Bishop Ahr in all his endeavors as a devoted servant of God. With Mary as his guide, he has gov- erned his diocese with kindness, strength and wisdom. The coat of arms of the diocese presents on its right side the moline cross signifying the mill built by Mahlon Stacy on the Delaware River at the mouth of Assanpink Creek. The property on which the mill was erected was bought by William Trent and became known as Trent-town or Trenton. Superimposed over the cross is a crescent, the symbol of the Blessed Virgin Mary, patroness of the Diocese. Trenton prospers beneath the watchful care of Our Lady in the heavens with tlm moon at her feet. She is its faithful guardian. Marx's counsel has been the Bishop's support in all the issues that have con- fronted him. May Our Lady continue to assist him in his efTorts to spread the word of God throughout the Diocese of Trenton. ADMINISTRATION ■BSHm Nr -ou -septic VSEPTfc OUR GOAL AND OUR GUIDES Throughout our years at St Mary’s High we were fortunate have been under the influence of those in God’s service. Fore- most among our guides has been Mary, our model and inspira- tion. She has assisted us over the obstacles of our teen years and helped to lay the foundation for our future. Our parents, who have the primary obligation of providing for our education, have put us in the loving hands of Our Lady by placing us in St. Mary’s High School. Our Holy Father, the Pope, and the bishops in communion with him have led us to the realization of the truths of our faith through their letters and pronouncements. Under the constant vigilance of Monsignor and the priests, we have developed spiritually and socially. Through the direction of the faculty, both religious and lay, we have prospered scholastically and intellectually. We are truly grateful for the benefits and guidance given us by these, our guides to our goal. Right Reverend Francis J. Sullivan Pastor Under watchful care Reverend George M.

She exhorts us to follow in His footstep� and sanc- tify ourselves while participating in our daily activities. We become more acquainted with the principles of a Mary- like life through Marian activity. All for Jesus through Mary who is our life, our sweetness and our hop e. At prayer and study, at social and athletic recreation, we strive for awareness of our obligation to fashion Christ in ourselves, and we ask Mary’s help. At many of our dances, the statue of Mary is the central point of the decorations. We are reminded that our Blessed Mother reigns over us even during our recreation. She also our athletic teams and stands as a constant reminder that sportsmanship is the true goal of our athletes. ■ Mary Ann Gavron and Carol Sanccki re- ceive scholarship information from Sister Mary Valerian while Ann Hajducsek, Dolores Lasko, and Claire Wisniewski page through college catalogues.

Students in Action With their regular major subjects, seniors study lighter subjects, such as general math, mechanical drawing and typing. The knowledge thus acquired rounds out their education. In general math class, the students not only review fundamental calculations, but also drill the practical ap- plications of mathematics. Mechanical drawing instruction aids future engineers in the fundamentals necessary for planning and executing their ideas. The students who challenge the typewriter find this skill very useful in typing book reports, term papers, and outside assignments. To complement the student’s regular studies, he finds the library a helpful asset for gathering information. Here he finds useful reference materials to aid him in his task. Patricia Voorhees.

The squad, under the direction of Coach Lcnahan, has practiced daily to ac- quire the skill of performing as a team, striving for one mutual goal - good sportsmanship. The supreme efforts displayed by these SMHers have shone brightly throughout the season. At times when victory was not theirs, they persevered with enthusiastic school spirit. Much is to be said in praise of this sports club. In a total of 25 games, the team has completed a highly successful sea- son with a 16-9 record. This achieve- ment is the rewarding result of many months of toil. The players truly de- serve the title of real St. Mary’s Men. 40 at our school activities John Krieger takes possession of the ball while Robert Suminski and Thomas Fitzmorris set up play.

He has achieved a remarkable scoring record. William Tibbitt — this 6’0” SMHer known as the outside man. has been aided greatly in his role as the team’s playmaker by the experience gained from two years of varsity competition. Thomas Fitzmorris — a 6’3” Maryite, carried the rebounding load and set up many of the team’s key plays. Bob Suminski the 6 1” inside man, contributed his share to the team’s winning season by his skill as a rebounder. Francis Kennedy — this 6’2” senior, has seen var- sity action during his junior and senior years at SMH. Francis Murray a 5’10” senior, has proved him- self a valuable player in the time of need. We recall that Our Blessed Mother Coach Lenahan and Father Brembos check the sports calendar for the year. Thomas Fitzmorris brings down a rebound, as John Derent stands ready to assist him.

The team, under the direction of Mr Peter Kindzicrski, strove mightily to win. Since they did not display a win- ning record, the efforts of the Junior Eagles” did not radiate like those of the Varsity. The team worked very hard however, and the players deserve much credit. They look forward to a bright season next year.

Coach William Ryan supervised this squad of experienced players and new- comers, working them together as a team. The ability of the pitchers plus the alertness of the outfield and the infield made a good defense against all rivals. Offensive power was seen with every swing of the bat. The center spot in our diamond was filled by butlers Joe Sulkowski, Bill Subjack, and Ray Riddell. First base was held by Joe Jankowski, w ith A1 L’st at second, and Ray Creed at third. Lou Nanna had the re- sponsibilities at home plate. The duties of short stop were taken over by Bill Tibbitt. Right field was ably patroled by Tom Fit morris, and any balls which headed for center field were taken care of by George Keenan. 1 lie left field position was covered by Frank Ruszala. Win or lose, team work and good sportsmanship were always the out- standing qualities of the boys with the ball and the bats. Alexander L’st hands Joseph Pohl his baseball uniform for the coming year. Frank Ruszala proudly shows the blue M on his shirt. Which bat will do the trick? That's the question being discussed by seniors, Joseph Sulkowski. Louis Nanna. Alexander Ust, Joseph Jankowski, Raymond Riddell, William Tibbitt, George Keenan.

Track and Field At the crack of the pistol the runners are off chasing the wind. This is track, another of the sports available at Saint Mary’s High School. The 60 yard dash, 220 yard run, 440 yard run, 60 yard high and low hurdles, the mile, the high and broad jumps, shot-put and relays are just a few of the many events offered to the student. In order to qualify a student must have good grades, a willingness to work, endurance, and speed. The team, composed of freshmen, sophomores, juniors, and seniors, practices daily. Daily practice with the capable coaching of Mr. James Kennedy, helps the trackmen in the meets they enter: the Middlesex County track and field competi- tions, and the Northern Jersey track and field tourna- ments. At the end of the school term each qualifying member receives his letter in track, a fine reward for a race well run. and stands as a reminder Robert Windrem, Patrick Richardson, Edward Majkowski, John Jancola, Albert Waters, Julius Teske, Richard Bargloski and James Carney follow' Captain Christian Ziegler in exercises preparatory to their next track meet.

The girls, consisting of ten juniors and seniors, are under the di- rection of Sister Mary Nora. The competi- tion is keen during each October try-out time. Preceding and during the basketball season, practices are frequent and often tedious for these dedicated pepsters. With each passing practice session, the cheer- leaders realize more fully their responsibility towards the school and the team. The skill of the cheerleaders and their never ceasing energy' arc demonstrated on the court at each game. The basketball players are not alone in their appreciation of the cheerleaders. The student body, led by the girls, demonstrates its support by backing the leaders with rousing cheers. The SMH cheerleaders gaze camerawards. KNEELING: Judith Frunzi, Penelope Dohan.

At Saint Mary's, basketball is the chief sport, and the girls have not been excluded from this popular pastime. They have been carefully considered, and a girls’ basket- ball team has been fully organized this past year. At present, the girls are perfecting their techniques: but in the future, this team will be a group that will be difficult to defeat, as it puts to good use its many skills. Eileen Soden has a sec- ret ambition, to be a high-flying Eaglette, as she jumps for a high- flung ball. Carol Surman and Susan Brown anxiously wait to receive the ball as Kathleen Covert and Mary Kenny send it on its way. Gail Hen- son and Carolyn Brady rush to assist. Gail Henson proves she’s a high jumper, as an opponent and Kathleen Covert gaze in surprise. Girls’ Basketbal 47 At the completion of graduation exercises. John El- brecht, Sandra Popowski, Carole Check. Carol Sa- necki, and Theodore Janas say a final farewell. Mary Louise Nemeth, Barbara Jacobs, Carole Check, Carol Sanecki, Regina Hig- gins, and Theodore Janas are about to enter a new stage in life as the graduation ceremony comes to an end. and the end of all endeavors. The presentation of awards is one of the highlights of the school year. Mon- signor Francis J. Sullivan addresses the student body before distributing honors. Final Activities Awards Day is anticipated with eagerness by the student body; it provides an excel- lent opportunity for SMHers to display their accomplishments and encourage class- mates to participate in all activites. The highlight of the year’s spiritual acti- vities is the glorious crowning of the Blessed Mother. Although it is a parish sodality activity, any student wishing to praise and honor Our Lady may participate. Graduation, the final activity, opens the door to adult life to all of Saint Mary’s seniors. As they leave they petition Mary for her grace and guidance in future years. The crowning ceremony begins. Maureen Farrell, Maxine Kuntne, Jean Henry, and Carole Check kneel before the Blessed Virgin, while Roberta Christensen enters the sanctuary. Roberta Christensen rever- ently gives a rose crown to the Blessed Mother as Jean Henry' solemnly offers a si- lent prayer. UNDERCLASSMEN THE ARK AND THE DOVE .Mary, the spouse of the Holy Ghost, is a model of unfailing love. She loved all her fellowmen and exhorts us to practice love in all our dealings with schoolmates and neighbors. The seniors set the example for the other students of the school. The others naturally regard the upperclassmen as models for their behavior. The underclassmen enthusiastically enter into the activities of the school. Inspired by the Holy Ghost, with each passing year, they grow in love and understanding.

Class Candids 64 TOWARD THE ETERNAL COMMENCEMENT As we terminate our training at Saint Mary’s High School, we take Our Lady, our Hope for the future, with us on our way through life. Before entering that uncertain world of adult- hood, it is most salutary for us to implore Mary’s companion- ship. Let us go to her for courage, for guidance, for all grace; she helps us particularly when we are receptive to her aid. We will leave these hallowed halls and our youthful joys be- hind, but never the inspiration and model she has been to us. The future holds untold fortune for us all; our conscientious application of all the lessons learned at Saint Mary’s will deter- mine our success. In walking on, we grasp Mary’s hand to lead the way through Christ Our Lord. With Mary to guide us by the golden glow of her shining sceptre, 'neath the loving shadow of her blue man- tle, we cannot fail to reach our goal, Eternal Commencement.

Upon entering freshman year, They were as guiding rays In an unknown land. As we grasped for knowledge, Their hands reached out Directing us, instructing us, our teachers. With sophomore year befell The added trials of life. Teaching us to accept them, Aiding us to cope with them, They molded our characters with Religious and secular insight, our teachers. Junior year found them further Encouraging us to act the role Cast to us in the play of life, Preparing us for the day When they w ould step aside And the stage would be ours, our teachers. When we advanced into senior year. The priests came to our classes, Showering us daily With instructions of faith. Causing us to develop Into truly exemplary Christians, our teachers. They were always present At our side when needed. Because of them we arc able To cross the bridge well armed. Staunch and steadfast we go forw ard Into life. We arc grateful to our teachers.
