Text from Pages 1 - 124 of the 1966 volume:

SCEPTRE Foreword “Though the grass withers and the flowers wilt, the word of the Lord endures forever. ” Is. 40:8 The Word is the voice of God Thundering to men; Thundering its supremecy. It is lightning Crackling Over high peaks And sifting into tiny crevices. Generating life in the edelweis, Generating love in mankind. It is the forge for reality. And lights the world. Strangle it And it will continue to breathe. Trample it And it will rise again. Freedom Rests On it. Chains of prejudices Break Under it. It resounds and echoes Throughout the world. It speaks through Moses, And is born anew In Christ. Peter heard it. We have it. And our children will prove Its endurance. At the termination of Vatican in 1965 we the students of Saint Mary’s were left with the challenge in the constitu- tion on Divine Revelation to take tip the Holy Book and enter into a renewed dynamic, personal relationship with a loving, saving God, through His word. On that exciting October day of our first semester Pope Paul VI showed the world how to spread the will of God to all men by his memorable visit to the United Nations in reminding us that Today as never before there is a need for an appeal to the moral conscience of man.” We. the class of 1966 responds to this appeal by em- bracing the wisdom contained in the renewed efforts of the church in joining w ith our brothers to actively partici- pate in all the functions of the church so that we. the church, can continue to carry the vibrant, peaceful word of Christ, to a confused, W'ar-ridden world. 4 The Word of the Lord Endures Forever The word of God (hat was and is mocked, ignored, cursed, the word that is scorned by injustices, laid aside by apathetic people, contains all that man needs. It stirs up the rain, the storms, the mighty lights of heaven and the powerful sounds of the earth's groanings. It is the commanding word to the paralytic “arise and walk” as well as the gentle word “Go. your sins are forgiv- en you.” It is the consoling word, All you who labor and are burdened I will refresh you. It is through our studies, activities, and prayers that we are able to carry out this word in our lives. Through lis- tening to the words at the Breaking of the Bread we are better prepared to receive the Word that gives us the good life we are seeking. 5 Sister Mary Madeline Accolade “Faith is from hearing and hearing through the word of Christ. And how will they hear without a preacher. ” Rom. 10:14:17 For fifty dedicated years Right Reverend Monsignor Francis J. Sulli- van has fulfilled his divine mission of communicating Christ to the faithful. Christ in the word of scripture and Christ in the bread of Eu- charist. Countless parishioners have benefited by the life of Christ through the past twenty-five years of Monsignor’s service here at St. Mary’s. In him we see a life of sincere piety, humility, and love of his people. We join in respectful gratitude and joy to God for bestowing on Mon- signor the tremendous power in the calling of the priesthood. We thank you, Monsignor, for quickening the life of Christ in us through your communications of the Word to us. A double festival is ours in the celebration of the silver anniversary of Sister Mary Madeline’s profession as a Sister of Mercy. In Sister’s second year as principal at Saint Mary’s, we wish her every happiness and leave with the remembrance of her earnestness in teaching us how to know, love, and serve God. Dear Sister Mary Madeline, “May grace and peace be given you in abundance in the knowledge of our Lord.” We Are the Servants of Heaven and Earth . . . and We Build a Temple Sister Mary Madeline, R.S.M.

Mrs. Agnes Cody Secretary, Father James Forker answers questions posed by seniors Brian George. Mark Sciora. and James Dufford. As the students of Saint Mary’s High School develop physically, emotionally, and mentally, so do they develop spiritually. More emphasis is placed on religion, as a way of life, permeates the curriculum of the school. The program of instruction is set up by Reverend James Forker. chairman and Sister Mary Kateri. assistant chairman, who are assisted by Reverend George Brembos and the remainder of the faculty. The four year course is based on the textbook series. Our Quest for Happiness; a special one semester course is offered to all seniors on “preparation for marriage. Appropriate programs and assemblies by the students supplement the department. Some of the student assemblies are the Christmas-Ha- nukkah program, the Church-Unity Octave program and the Bible Vigil conducted by Father Forker. The depart- ment arranges such devotions as daily Mass. Lenten devotions. First Friday services and the annual retreat. Students participate in assembly, presented in ob- servance of the Church Unity Octave. 12 Father Schmidt confers with Noreen Marozine. Cathy Ann Breuninger, and Patricia Conochan after retreat conference. Father George Brembos is reaching his junior religion class. How about you James Mullane? Sister Mar) Kateri lights the Advent wreath while Kevin Co- nochan. spiritual representative, assists with the prayer. 13 Languages Language tapes make teaching more enjoyable for Sister Mary Melita. Patrick Battiato shows complacent agreement as Sister Mary' Kateri says “No! Say Paree but don’t spell it that way. “Whatever did I do to deserve such a German class? queries Mr. Rob- ert Walling. 14 Mr. John Toscano ponders ihc fulure of the freshmen after hearing an interesting answer. “Guten tag,” “bon jour”, “buenos dias”, are some of the greetings one may hear from the foreign language laboratory at Saint Mary’s. Mr. Robert Walling, chairman of the department, is assisted by the French and Spanish teachers. Sister Mary Kateri and Sister Mary Melita. Mr. Walling teaches Ger- man 1, II, and Latin II in conjunction with Mr. John Tos- cano and Mr. Thomas Otto completing the Latin pro- gram. Various assemblies help to build the cultural aspects of the countries. Each language class provides an extracur- ricular club that supplements the program. Mr. Thomas Olio discusses the conjugation of some Latin verbs with his students. 15 English Sister Marv Helene aids A. Grabowski in research work lor her English class while students J Burke. C. Hull, and S. Bogaczyk concentrate on other references. Sister Mary Alexis points out the procedure in using books from the class paperback collection as Paul Wojciechowski enjoys a quip on the side from Terence O'Leary. The aim of the English Department is to train students to communicate effectively through the study of the structure of the language as it is - found in literature and through their expression in extracurricular activities. Analytical thinking, so important today, is stressed by the chairman. Sister Mary Alexis and faculty in their efforts to have English literature appreciated. Speech and Reading Courses afford opportunity of expres- sion in addition to the regular four year liter- ature program. Cultural aspects of the department include the observance of such dramatic companies as the Shakespearean Players in the presentation of Ev- eryman at Saint Mary’s and the Stratford Players in Connecticut. The junior class assembly added to the development of interpretation in pres- enting a scene from Our Town. A panel on the art of good novel writing was given by the soph- omore class. The department is supplemented by such ac- tivities as a book fair, essay contests, poetry read- ing at Rutgers and a paperback library. Sister Mary Helene. Sister Mary Richard. Mr. Ronald Lucas. Sister Mary Frederick and Mr. Richard Mager constitute the department. 16 Sister Mary Frederick instructs her class for a coming College Bowl on the freshmen level. The structure of the drama is carefully outlined by Mr. Richard Mager before his sophomore students.

Social Studies Mr. Henry Conroy listens to the responsive Freshmen as he gets a basketball grip on the world in geography class. “This test is not a community effort. complains Mr. Stephen Nestingesr to Sean Kelly. One part of the curriculum in which St. Mary’s takes much pride is the Social Studies Department. Headed by Sister Mary Theodore, this department opens up a new light of understanding on the history and topology of our world. Through the efforts and abilities of Mr. Stephen Nestinger. Mr. Charles Nuziale. Mr. Thomas Dowd and Mr. Henry Conroy, the horizon of learning is vastly ex- panded. Offered in this department is U.S. History I, II. sociol- ogy. world history', world geography and economic citiz- enship. These instruments of knowledge help the students to revive the past, accept the present and prepare for the future. Supplementary text books, weekly film strips and cur- rent events tests, sponsored by the New York Times and Journal American provide a broad scope of learning to the students. The department is a member of the New Jersey Historical Society and the American Historical So- ciety. 18 “It is a point of World Culture,” says Mr. Charles Nuziale, “to know Mr. James Dowd prepares to break the bad news to the Frosh that Co- that our class has 42% few'er failures.” lumbus didn't discover America. The U.S. History class misses the overtone of humor in the films of Sis- ter Mary Theodore. 19 Business Saint Mary’s Business Education Department, headed by Sister Mary Cephas and assisted by Sister Mary Rich- ard. Sister Mary Melita, and Mr. Ronald Lucas offers shorthand, typewriting, secretarial practice, business mathematics and bookkeeping.

Business education students utilize their skills while still in school by offering their services to the various staff publications and by volunteering for other secretarial du- ties within the school system. Seven seems to be the lucky number in Carolyn Kelly’s choice as Sister Mary Richard instructs James Dufford and Patricia Coman on the rudi- ments of personal typing. Senior girls agree that a typewriter is easier to take apart than put to- gether. Kathleen Bowie. Rita Cross. Mary Healy and Kathleen Gustos are the mechanics involved. 06008 Q 0 0 Q Q ( fi® @@@(! 0 Q 0 0 0 20 Shorthand is transcribed through the deft fingers of Janice Blanchard.

If we are to fulfill our full potential as Christian indi- viduals, it is necessary to have a well balanced education. This involves four phases at St. Mary's: spiritual, aca- demic. athletic and social. We endeavor to fulfill all these requirements through a social balance in the works of our clubs. These organizations give us the opportunity to exercise leadership, to develop initiative and in some cases, to pre- pare us for future professions. Among our many clubs are the Future Teachers and Nurses the Science Club, the Chess Club, the Language Club, the Visual Aids Club, and Drivers’ Education Club. The Glee Club presented a Hootenanny and Carol Festival plus a Spring Festival in honor of Monsignor Sullivan’s jubilee.

The library, under the direction of Sister Mary Helene, is the vital life source of the school in its store of research materials and magazines of current interests. Books on biblical theology, American his- tory, and science have increased during the past se- mester. Through the N.D.E.A. under Title II. the library hopes to build their fiction and biography departments. Forty library aides on four levels assist Sister M. Helene in the processing of books, shelf rating, and checking out books. During the current year a reg- ular library period is scheduled for each class twice a week. As a result of this encouragement, a greater interest has been seen on the part of the student to increase their store of knowledge through the use of the library. Library aides Linda Ploskonka, Linda Geiger, and Rita Adamecs observe the Christmas season by assembling the Nativity scene in the library.

John Germak. secretary-treasurer, Kathleen Haag. Junior presi- dent, Richard Harrigan and sophomore president. John Trenta. Projects undertaken were the Vietnam project, which provided soldiers in the war zone with maga- zines and cigarettes. An away retreat was organized, although the winter blizzard prevented the seniors from getting there. In the fall, the Council spon- sored a mixer at Saint Mary's Perth Amboy and a student-teacher day at home. The latter consisted of the students becoming teachers for a day. Open meetings are proposed for the coming programs in 1966. Pep rallies, bulletin board displays, athletic sales sponsored by the Council help to enliven the high school spirit that prevails. Our Student Council is a Member of the State and County Association of Student Councils. Smiling happily. Kathleen Haag delivers her accep- tance speech as secretary-treasurer of the Student Council. From the Lord Homeroom presidents assemble to discuss the new project of sending packages to Vietnam. “Who's going to win?” Both nominees for secretary- treasurer look hopeful before the campaign posters.

Copping all four of their games: at the hands of St. Joseph’s twice; St. Marv's Perth Amboy once; and a 64-0 splurge against cross-town rival. Hoffman. The Club although not sponsored by the school athletic associa- tion. but by the members themselves, was landed by many as a top-notch unit. The track picture at the Eagle Nest has overgone some new changes with the arrival of a new assistant coach Mr. Stephen Nestinger to aid Mr. Richard Pine. This year’s hopes fall mainly on the fifteen veterans from 1964-65 campaign. Along with this vets, a crop of new forces, new equipment and a new philosophy of coaching, the Eagle tracksters are flying high once again. In his initial year as pilot of the St. Mary’s Va seasc arsity Basketball team. Coach Henry Conroy’s charges finished the' season with a shaky 6-14 slate. Although we finished with a dismal record, the Saints were eeked out on numerous occasions by less than 10 points. Senior sharp-shooter Paul Jankowski led the Eagle quint in the scoring department with 225 points and an overall 12.5 clip. However, the J.V. team under Mr. John Toscano cheered our spirits with a 9-6 victory slate. With the return of twelve letterman from last year's 10-10 tab. the St. Mary’s Varsity Baseball team is looking forward to a more fruitful season. The Eagle nine, in the eyes of Coach Art O'Donnell, shapes up to be one of the best in the Parochial B picture. Only their third year of Varsity competition, the St. Mary’s Varsity ten- nis team, under the watchful eyes of Coach Richard Bates, proved that hard work and the will to win are the ingredients for a successful season.
