As frightened freshmen entering an unexplored school, the completion of senior year seemed almost an unattainable goal, but now, too soon, this goal is a reality. Regrets, we've had a few, but with each passing year our struggles were far outweighed by our accomplish- ments; our fears greatly outdistanced by our hopes. In this our final year, laughter and tears, failures and successes are all but memories. From vending machine lunches to full course meals ... from faded plaid to new tweed skirts . . . from history is a science which investi- gates and records to man is a social animal . . . from thoughtful frowns to carefree clowns ... memories that will be with us always. Simply the reality of all little things . . . the many insistent echoes of yesterdays that have made themselves felt, heard, seen . . . lived. These yesterdays were formulated and dramatized, with the intense pride that... we did it our way. 2 And now, as tears subside, we find it all so amusing 5 Oh, no, oh no, not us, we did it Our Way. Most Reverend George W. Ahr, S.T.D. Bishop of the Diocese of Trenton Reason faces up to life. And sees things as they are; Hope sees things as they ought to be. And wishes on a star; Faith dreams of miracles to come That only God can do; Love goes to work with patient hands To make these dreams come true. Most Reverend John C. Reiss D.D.J.C.D.

Supervisor of Secondary Schools M.A. Villanova University 8 Reverend James McConnell Pastor Reverend George M. Erickson Associate Pastor Reverend Ronald Cioffi Associate Pastor Parish Clergy shepherds students through new theological trends Had the parish clergy not been guiding students through each doctrine of the new theology, the past year could have been a most confusing one for all. Monsignor Sullivan has indirectly motivated us to respond to such challenges as fulfillment and com- mittment . Along with regular parish business, Parish Administrator, Father James McConnell has accepted the task of explaining doctrinal changes. Parish Associ- ates, Father George Erickson and Father Ronald Cioffi have attempted to broaden teenage understanding of new trends in theology. Their gigantic role as mediators between new and old was accomplished over and above each of their already crammed schedules of celebrant, confessor, teacher, administrator, and guest speaker. Rt. Reverend Monsignor Francis J. Sullivan Pastor Emeritus 9 Inside SMHS the administration builds, spirit, atmosphere, tradition, color, image Another successful year of managing Saint Mary's has been due to our dedicated and efficient Adminis- tration. Under the direction of Sister Mary Madeline, Prin- cipal, we followed suggested guidelines, realizing the vital understanding and concern she has had for all Saint Mary's students. Because of her dedication, there has been a subtle interplay of progress and restraint, discipline and freedom, indulgence and love. With the invaluable aid of Assistant Principals, Sister Mary Dominic and Sister Mary Teresa, our administra- tion has built an academic family, not an impersonal institution.

They reflect generosity, joy, and tolerance. With a whisper they offer encouragement to a fal- tering student. With a mere exchange of looks they communicate hope. Through long days of verbal inter- change they build trust and countless other intangibles. Yes. Search these personalities.

Cafeteria Staff soothed the echoing grumbles of empty stomachs. What a disappointment it would be if Mrs. Mc- Ginn and Mrs. Moskwa were not collecting money at the cash registers. “Oh no! the pizza should have been out of the oven fifteen minutes ago,” exclaims Mrs. Mac- Kay to Mrs. Corvino. Whatever happened to shake and bake,” contemplates Mrs. Ammatucci and Mrs. Volosin. 20 Academic life at Saint Mary's has been one marked with inter- est, study, and accomplishment. Resource centers, well equipped laboratories, a wide assortment of visual aids, an extensive library, and teachers generous with offers of their free time made learning at SMHS enriching and rewarding. A varied and significant curri- culum stimulated in each student a sense of wonder, and prompted them to observe and analyze, and admire and create. To each sub- ject was brought innate attributes: initiative that evoked inquiry, discussion, and research; percep- tion that discerned those elusive qualities which vitalized the learn- ing process; judgment that sifted truth and beauty from ideas and imaginations; and vision that anticipated high ideals and ac- complishments. Scholastically, SMHS is a two- way street. Compositing the giv- ing and the taking, each student has acquired knowledge, wisdom, depth, and understanding. Michael Marrone ponders, Is the difference between Romanticism and Realism really necessary? Teaching English grammar is hopeless, muses Mr. Rooney. English skills aid personal development English teachers remedy that required feeling English, that inevitable course that no student can avoid, did have a remedy for that required feeling — the English teachers. Through them, classes became acquainted with the land along the banks of the Mississippi, the English countryside, the world of many centuries ago B.C., as well as the present time. Poetry, drama, essay, short story, and novel all lent themselves to student recognition of the romantic tales of the rich and also the stark realism of the poor. With English falling into the category of the living subjects, transition in this department is a perpetual necessity. This year along with a new department chairman, Mr. William Wolff, came the introduction of new paperbacks, new film strips, new records, and many new ideas. Efforts were made to correlate writing assign- ments with literature units and to relate formal grammar to problems arising from these assign- ments. Added to the associate English courses of Speech, Journalism, and Creative Writing were the innova- tive honors course devoted to Shakespeare's son- nets and the basic skills tutorial. THE ENGLISH DEPARTMENT: Miss Patricia Cholewinski, Sr. Charlotte Scarle, Mrs. LaVerne Wirth, Sr. Katherine Rohr, Miss Carol Bohinski, Mr. William Wolff, Miss Rosemary Harrigan, and Mr. Mark Koch. NOT SHOWN: Mr. Thomas Rooney. 25 Yes, I guess you would consider HUCKLE- BERRY FINN a juvenile delinquent, retorts Miss Harrigan. Donna Adelphio seeks composition instruc- tions from Sr. Charlotte as joseph Enrico seems to find Debbie Catan- zaro more reliable. Mathematics stressed good groundwork in concepts, logicand clear thinking. I knew today would fee Excedrin headache number c2 =Va2 + b2 , s gfes Sr. Rose. Since there are so many ways to solve this equation, why can't I find one? wonders Amy Norek. These are supposed to be the future mathematical genuises of America? de- liberates Miss Pribish. Equations, signs, and symbols comprised the mysterious world of the math student. Not only was the student expected to accurately manipulate such devices but also he was supposed to exhibit sound thought and reasoning throughout the process. Algebra I started freshman minds whirling. Soph- omores whipped out their trusty compasses, pro- tractors, and rulers for geometry and found their studies in optical illusions challenged the old standard seeing is believing. Algebra II stimu- lated the brains of many juniors as seniors delved into a wide diversity of math phases such as logic, logarithmic functions, and calculus. Despite the perennial fear of the subject, a good groundwork in mathematical concepts was stressed as an essential preparation for life in this scientific, modern world. 26 Just remember, 2 + 2 may equal 3,4,5, 6,7 ... says Mrs. Potthoff to herself. THE MATHEMATICS DEPARTMENT: Miss Susan Pribish, Mrs. Hulda Potthoff, Sr. Rose Burghardl, Mr. Kevin Toolan, Mrs. Dorothy Holliday, and Sr. Mary Teresa. Quality + Interest = SMHS's Math Department 27 Social Science provided a coherent study of world affairs % Since a clear understanding of our social, eco- nomic, and political problems was never more necessary than at the present time, social science has come to occupy a prominent place in the SMHS curriculum. Both World History required of freshmen and American History required of juniors and seniors emphasized the relation of the past to the under- standing of present day realities. Weekly classes revolved around a panorama of color slides, filmstrips, and records. Students brought individual talent to the fore by giving oral reports. All of this helped to unite isolated facts into a coherent study of world affairs. Mr. Nestinger explains one of the basic prin- ciples of social science to his class. THE HISTORY DEPARTMENT: Mr. Eugene Malhame, Mr. Richard O'Brien, Mr. John Gloss, Mr. Stephen Nes- tinger, Sister Anselm, Mr. Charles Nuziale, and Mr. Alex Kous. 28 I'm sorry kids but test day has rolled around again, apolo- gizes Mr. Malbame. Mr. Nestinger is bombarded with questions regarding his recent history assignment. II Class, smiles Mr. Closs enthusiastically, to- day I'd like to open a whole new world to you.

Cail Whyte, Catherine Wooley, and Margaret Robertson experience If only the answer weren't on the one of the problems associated with frog dissection. tip of my tongue, wishes Sr. Dominic. Rising advancements in science and technology have brought more opportunities to the students of SMHS. The introduction of new courses, in- cluding a mini-course in ecology, has indicated the rise of student interest in this field. Also new this year was the honors program for freshmen and sophomores. On these levels students were en- couraged to apply theory to experimentation in both Biology and Chemistry. Evidence of scientific curiosity was seen in projects involving growing vegetation, dissecting specimens, reading science articles, and preparing bulletin boards. Experimenting and searching, two qualities in- dispensable in acquiring an understanding of the advancing and developing scientific world, became second nature to the SMHS chemist. Physics students enhanced their chemical know- how by observing the phenomena of matter and energy and their relationship. The annual science fair gave students a chance to express their creativity and to share the invalu- able knowledge they gained through scientific methods. 30 THE SCIENCE DEPARTMENT: Mr. Kevin Toolan, Sr. Mary Dominic, Mr. Burton Robbins, Mr. Michael Fabiszewski, and Sr. Mary Celeste. Perhaps your problems could be solved, Mr. Fabi- szewski, by checking the source of electrical current. Daniel Titus and Frank Nycz are performing Chroma- tography, a fundamental experiment in Biology. i Ole! Bon Jour! Auf Wiedersehen! Patricia Bokan and Linda Lane brood over the trans- lation of French IV literature. Mr. Walling explains some of the problems of the German language to James DeMaio.

Modern languages spark unity through diversity, generate power to link universe THE LANGUAGE DEPARTMENT: Mrs. Sara Munziaga, Miss Rhoda Marcus, Mr. Robert Walling, Sr. Mary Lucia Churiato, Miss Patricia Cholewinski, and Sr. Marlene Fritz. iOle! Bon jour, Auf Wiedersehen. If you had walked down any hall in SMHS and had heard one of these phrases you might have thought you were in Spain, France, or Germany. Chances are, you merely overheard the echoes of international dialogue. The language lab and resource room made avail- able to students many aspects of European culture through tapes, records, charts, books, magazines, and filmstrips. Participation in discussion led to enjoyment and solution of the age old problem, I can read and write it, but I can't speak it. This year, through the patient coaxing of their teachers, each student was able to achieve his goal. The students found the study of a foreign language to be an exciting and rewarding experience. 33 Religion reduces abstract principles to practical application With the help of Father George Erickson, St. Mary’s Religion Department has tried to make stu- dents aware of their role as Christians in today's world. With more emphasis placed on personal appli- cation, the previously moaned words religion class now hold connotations that extend far be- yond the classroom walls. Included in topics for intelligent discussions and often heated arguments were the new theology. marriage, drugs, as well as, religious differences. Choice was the key word on the senior level when the time came for course selection. Electives were centered around specific modern texts such as THE ESUS PEOPLE, PARABLES OF PEANUTS, and PERSUASION. This new system of religious education has brought the abstract into reality, and thus trans- formed religion from a subject into an overall awareness of life. Rev. George Erickson, chairman of the reli- gion department, talks to the head of his class. THE RELIGION DE- PARTMENT: Rev. Reu- ben Abaya, Sr. Marlene Fritz, Rev. Benito Sison, Sr. Marianne Mahon, Rev. Ronald Cioffi, Mr. Richard O'Brien, Sr. Mary Innocent. NOT SHOWN: Rev. George Erickson, Sr. Joan Pur- vis, Rev. Benjamin Dino, Rev. Dominador Santiano. 34 Seniors in Religion IV discuss the effects of PERSUA- SION on their lives. Sr. Innocent tries to divert Diane Norek's attention back to religion class. Rev. Abaya injects a few laughs into his freshman “World Religions class. Sophomore Cindy Polinski meditates on CHRISTIAN ACTION AND DECISION in her religion class. Religion transformed into an overall awareness of life 35 THE CULTURAL ARTS DEPARTMENT: Miss Christine Molson, Mr. lames DeRoma, and Mr. Edward Hagan. In the Cultural Arts Department, the students learned everything from painting a picture, to dif- ferentiating between Baroque and Renaissance music and reading a note, to designing a house, to baking an orange kiss-me cake. From the Little Theater could be heard the voices of the SMHS chorus, and the instrumental music classes under the leadership of Mr. James DeRoma and Rev. Benjamin Dino. Meanwhile, back at the Home Economics room. Miss Christine Molson encouraged the girls to use their imaginations to solve the everyday problems of domesticity. While upstairs in the art room Mr. Edward Hagan assisted the students with sculp- turing, lettering, and learning the principles of Art and Mechanical Drawing I and II. First attempts at vocalizing, planning a menu, or wielding a brush were awkward and timid. Expe- rience gradually dispelled shyness and bold prog- ress resulted.

Mr. Hagan gives a few pointers on art to Christine Norman and Geraldine Iquinto. 37 Business world summons SMHS students The ultimate aim of SMHS's Business Department is to prepare today's young adults for their pro- fession in the whirlwind of growing American enterprise. Under the direction of Sister Helen O’Donnell, the department strived to achieve this goal by training in Typing I and II, Stenography I and II, and Secretarial Practice. The secretarial students had a chance to develop their skills by typing for the Bye Bye Birdie play- bill. When the Religion, Language, or Social Studies departments needed duplications of vocational interest forms, programs for the language festival, or geographical maps and graphs, the typists were eager to accommodate. They also worked diligently on copy for the school publications. At the end of the academic year, deserving stu- dents earned Gregg awards according to their proficiency in typing and stenography. Associate business course. Merchandising and Selling and Retailing, also offered interested stu- dents the opportunity for job placement. This year representatives from Katherine Gibbs and Nancy Taylor Business Institutes visited with future secretaries to discuss the advantages of ad- vanced business degrees. Mark Maresca diligently types while Don Volosin finds time to take a break. 38 Neither rain, nor sleet, nor snow will keep Sr. Helen away from her typewriter. Let your fingers do the typing... THE BUSINESS DEPARTMENT: Mrs. Phyllis Brennan, Mr. Andrew Joyce, and Sr. Helen O'Donnell. Senior Tom Culick, Mary Ann Hewins, and Michael Quigley strengthen their skills in typing through practice. Peggy Reaney, Bob Sommers, and Ken DiCangi learn the importance of flexi- bility.

Edward Pudlo displays his of- fensive tactics to his opposing team in a game of bombard- ments. Whatever goes up must come down, but where is the ball asked a few freshman boys? When the bell signaled Gym classes, a whirlwind of students darted to locker rooms, frantically threw items helter-skelter in the hectic search for complete gym uniforms. Such speed was neces- sitated by a meager seven minute change allot- ment. Physical Education was considered a formal class in the curriculum, one necessary for graduation. Often, however, boys and girls alike thought of it as recreation. It was a chance to burn up energy by playing soccer, basketball, volleyball, crab soccer, or floor hockey. Exercises were a necessary evil, good for the shedding of a few unwanted ounces. Also incorporated into the physical education program were courses geared to strengthen the mind: First Aid, Civil Defense, and Home Nursing. A girls' gym class displays skill in playing crab soccer. 40 THE PHYSICAL EDUCATION DEPARTMENT: Mr. Jay Ziznewski, Mr. John Scirdinsky. Miss Mary Jo Kuegle, and Mrs. Kathryn Ryan. The aches and pains of crab soccer are felt by the girls gym class. Practice makes perfect is an old saying, but the senior boys are an exception to the rule. 41 Donna Piechicinski, Krys Slom- kowski, and Richard Therkel- sen avoid the last minute rush to pick the college of their choice. Guidance Department provides insight and information for future planning To each student falls the monumental problem of planning his future. Understanding the importance of this task, the Guidance Department of SMHS provided insight and information for each student in order that he might make the right decision. The guidance office, nucleus of the department's activities, contained college brochures, handbooks, magazines, and other pertinent information for the concerned student. With the aid of Mrs. Jeanne Polinski, Department Director, and the level counselors, many childhood dreams ebbed into the current of future realities. Senior Carol Bauer appreciates the fact that Room 725 is still available for individual coun- seling. So many colleges to choose from, speculates Cesar Val- divia. THE GUIDANCE DEPARTMENT: Mr. Eugene Malhame, Mr. Charles Nuziale, Miss Elizabeth Harmon, Rev. Ronald Cioffi, and Mrs. Jeanne Polinski. NOT SHOWN: Sr. Carlos Folker. Assisting Sr. Mary in her drive to keep the library running smoothly is Miss Margaret Nolan. Sr. Mary urges students to remember that the card catalogue is always the first Sr. Mary is glad to see that place to go for references. books have been returned early for a change. Library, tool of learning A indispensable aspect of academic life at St. Mary's was the school library. Inside, would-be scholars scurried back and forth from the card catalogue to the Periodic Guide, trying to recall their freshman library orientation course, before giving up and joining their friends gathered around BRITANNICA. Other more fashion-minded intellectuals, gazed intently through the latest copies of SEVENTEEN. And still there were the rugged few, cast of iron will power, who went to research and study. Between English term papers and history re- search reports, were sundry little assignments such as language projects and science experiments all facilitated by the assistance of Sister Mary Cos- grove, Librarian. 43 Library Aides, Patricia Earrell and Kathleen Kirk help Mary Ellen Cavanaugh, Bella Ryan, and Ana Timiraos sign out books. When one views the myriad extra curricular activities available at SMHS, one is breathless at the amount of energy poured into them. Herein leadership and responsibility were first tried on for size. Each student found himself caught up in a community sharing that supplied opportunities for major and minor contributions. The diligent preparations for the Christmas Ball manifested themselves in the glittering smiles of an evening. The issues and problems de- bated by the Student Council were solved with compromise. 44 The deadline date for an article in The Crown came and went with satisfying results. The screaming, yelling, and constant hours of practice were reflected by the standing ovation on the final night of Bye Bye Birdie No doubt all this organizational participation put some practical flesh on the verbal skeleton laud- ing giving as better than receiving. In this giving, whether it be as a member of a basketball team or a literary staff, each student ex- perienced an emotion that can only be called friendship. Sceptre '72 We did it our way Yearbook moderators, Mr. Edward Hagan and Miss Patricia Cholewinski, discuss an upcoming deadline while Denise Usa and Cary Nowak think of other things. The nucleus of SCEPTRE for 72 was a radical group of innovators called the staff. Early in Sep- tember the staff vowed to be unique, flexible, versatile, and mainly unconventional. Such energy, however, was duly controlled by the moderators, Miss Patricia Cholewinski and Mr. L. Edward Hagan. , Idea after idea was debated, written, and revised, until it became fit matter to appear on SCEPTRE'S then empty pages. Early deadlines had to be met, typists translated illegible penmanship, artists drew lay-outs, photographers canvassed the school for candid shots, reporters tracked down worthwhile information, and the exhausted remnants cap- tioned pictures — all in seven months. The publishing of SCEPTRE for 72 was an exuber- ant and enjoyable challenge to those involved. Having met this challenge, the staff looks back on the wonderful moments involved in putting to- gether the 72 edition, and smiles knowingly at the small miracle you are now so casually holding in your hands. 46 Staff Editors Editors-in-chief......................Denise Usa Cary Nowak Copy Editor .....................Leslie Margaretta Layout Editors......................Cary Nowak Kathleen Moore Business Editor .............Margaret Robertson Faculty Section Editor .............Lucie Saldutti Academics Section Editor..................Patricia Bokan Members of the layout staff, Nancy Byrne and Rose- Activities Section Editor .......Debra Menichini mary Lasher, look for the most interesting pictures Sports Section Editor.................Lynn Nebus for the yearbook.

Co-editors Cary Nowak and Denise Usa, along with Luanne Cleary and Mr. Hagan, try to solve one of the myriad layout problems. Sheila Driscoll, Leslie Margaretta, Sandra DeCristofaro, and Kathy Nigro are working late on captions. Members of the yearbook staff, Nancy Byrne, Miss P. Cholewinski, Denise Usa, Barbara Franken, Eileen O'Malley, Theresa McCabe, Debra Menichini, Kathleen Moore, and Luanne Cleary correlate information for the yearbook. Ideas became words, words became sentences, sentences became articles, articles became print, and print became tradition. When THE CROWN arrived, every student settled back to enjoy the printed words, many times unconscious of the hardships and long tedious hours that went into their publication. From room 111 words such as page plan, word count, and dummy emanated as the staff rushed to meet its deadline by plowing through copy, headlines, and last minute pictures. After all the efforts and hard work of Sr. Mary Charlotte, Dawn Wisniewski, the editors, and all those who composed the CROWN staff, another issue of THE CROWN had finally gone to the press. The circulation staff, headed by Margaret Robertson, prepare to distribute the first issue of THE CROWN. loanne Buckosky, Gregory Sciora, and Henry Sager proofread their articles while Monique Ostap and Richard Therkelsen seek the assistance of their moderator, Sr. Charlotte.

Spiritservice, and skill spark SMHS leaders 50 Student Council engineers harmonious year At the core of student functions, bridging faculty-student relations, stood the SMHS Student Council. Members, elected by the students them- selves, not only strove to maintain order, but also met often to discuss the daily problems of school life. Members suggested and planned various social activities throughout the year under the direction of moderator, Mr. Robert Walling. The Halloween Parade, the Student Council Dance, the numerous and worthwhile assemblies all demanded the co- operation, courtesy, and strength of character of each council member. The Council engineered an exceptionally har- monious year revitalizing traditions and inaugurat- ing a number of firsts. The pep rallies injected un- precedented zip into school spirit and the basket- ball season. Executive officers were elected from the junior as well as the senior class for the first time. When evaluating council achievements, we must reserve our opinions for the future. “You cannot observe every aspect of a picture with your nose pressed up against it. You have to step back and take a look. Our Student Council President contemplates new proposals for the Constitution. 51 Students receive a helping hand from Guidance Aides and Library Aides Doubt and uncertainty were quickly remedied in the Guidance Department this year with the help- ing hands of a few students, know to all, as SMHS guidance aides. They seemed to know the who, what, when, how, and especially where of any of the limitless career information available to every student. As each new problem arose we knew that a solution was near at hand in the guise of an eager and devoted guidance aide. To lighten the daily workload of Sister Mary and assistant librarian. Miss Nolan, approximately seventy-five students gave of their time to work in the library. The job of these library aides included checking the passes of those entering and leaving the library, looking for requested periodicals, and checking out books. While serving fellow students their own knowl- edge of library science skills was augmented. A. Biancamano D. Passifume M. Luteran P. Karis G. Rojek M. Kelly H.Sager G. Sciora D.

To begin the Christmas Season, this year, with the joy and spirit of the past, St. Mary's High School presented its Annual Christmas Festival in the high school gymnasium. Under the direction of Sister Mary Lucia, the Drama Club presented Gregorio Martinez Sierra's play of intrigue, Holy Night. The Glee Club, directed by Mr. james De Roma, sang traditional Christmas carols, and were ac- companied by Father Benjamin Dino. 53 Science Holds the Secrets of the Universe SCIENCE CLUB MEMBERS: P. Messenger, C. Ruszczyk, K. Franken, F. Boniewski, B. Malinowski, and M. Roche. Experimenting with many new ideas was the 1971-72 St. Mary's Science Club. This year was one of much activity, with the members traveling to Shark River to gather marine life, collecting fossils on an excur- sion trip to Middleton, and conducting various tests in- volving mice. The satisfaction and enjoy- ment experienced by all con- nected with the Science Club this year was far outweighed by the knowledge gained. SCIENCE CLUB MEMBERS: L. Cleary, W. Szwaja, M. Cerebe, M.

What appears as a bleak stage can be transformed overnight into a com- pletely new world thanks to the hard work of the Drama Club. Under the direction of Sister Lucia, lines and gestures were mastered, songs were sung and the stage was set — the final product, a three act play. Holy Night was presented dur- ing the annual Christmas Festival. In a club such as this, there is much business to attend to. This aspect was taken care of by Celine Klimowicz — President; Alyson Pratico — Vice Presi- dent and Kathy Steuber — Secretary Treasurer. 55 Forensics enkindles the fire of public speaking. jj Debate, extemporaneous, oral interpretation and declara- tion are those areas encom- passed by the members of S.M.H. forensic club. The forensic club is concerned with enkindling the fire of public speaking in all of its members. This job is rewarded to speech and debate moderators, Mr. J. Gloss and Mr. R. O'Brien. Perhaps, the most important asset of this club is that the members themselves are en- gaged in reading, writing, and speaking. This could be shown through its club officers Presi- dent, Joe Geores, Vice Presi- dent M. J. Bosie, corresponding secretary Maureen Bulman and recording secretary, Linda Lane.

Drama, Science, Class level assemblies, and Awards Day were just a few. Through all these assemblies the students at St. Mary's became more aware of the world surrounding them and how they can develop their seemingly small talents.

A Night to Remember Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Rooney and Mr. and Mrs. Alex Kous anticipate their gourmet meal. December 17, 1971 proved to be a festive oc- casion for all involved in the annual Christmas Ball. With the theme Christmas Carols, the cafeteria was charged with all the emotions and excitement of Christmas morning. The couples attending were treated to a hot and cold buffet, with each table having its own Christmas carol plus individual stockings for everyone. Under the musical aura spread by the band Scotland Yard, the 1971 Christmas Ball will reign forever in memories of Christmas magic. Diane Homer and Andy Li- yana appeared to be in a world of their own. Mr. Kous instructed the Senior Boys on matters of etiquette. 60 Rosanne Ferraro and Kathy Minnick intended to be first no matter what the obstacles.

MARY’S HIGH SCHOOL South N I prtstits Bye Bye Birdie A If� RUAOUA PRODUCTIOR NOV. 12-13-14 The Shriners tried to persuade Rosie to at least Talk to Him. 9 While Conrad sang One Last Kiss Mr. MacAfee tried to steal the show. Pat Caruso demon- strated that you're as young as you feel. Kim tried to explain to her friends that it was time for her to settle down. 62 Bye Bye Birdie Lives On! Bye Bye Birdie is the story of a rock and roll singer who is about to be inducted into the army. The singer Conrad Birdie has thick sideburns, slicked back hair, loud costumes, and an all round Elvis Presley look, which drives thousands of girls wild. Conrad's pub- licity agent, Albert Peterson is the nervous Mama's boy type and it's only through the efforts of his loyal secretary, Rose Alvarez, that he and Conrad keep moving forward in the world. Before Conrad's induc- tion, Rosie concocts one final national publicity stunt. He will bid a typical American teenage girl goodbye with One Last Kiss. Kim MacAffe of Sweet Apple, Ohio is chosen, much to the dismay of her new steady, Hugo Peabody. Birdie's arrival in Sweet Apple turns the quiet little town into chaos. The decision is made to have Conrad bestow his final kiss to Kim on the Ed Sullivan show with the en- tire nation watching. Rosie, who is infuriated by Al- bert's refusal to leave his domineering mother. May, and marry her, encourages the enraged Hugo to stop Conrad fmm kissing Kim. The last of the applause has died away, the tears and the laughter have ceased, and the props and scenery are all stored away. But Bye Bye Birdie lives on! The friendships made during practices and the warm memories shared by all can never be forgotten. Many things contributed to the satisfied glow which surrounded Birdie, the most important of which was leadership. Under the unyielding inspiration of Theodore Kur- dyla, Robert Haralla, Peter Runfolo, and their assistants, Bye Bye Birdie just naturally had to progress to . „ triumphant finale. The experience of Birdie has enriched our lives in many ways. We now know the satisfaction of hard work, the chaos of last minute details, the wonderment of feeling our admiration for our directors blossom into a loving trust, the hysterics of seeing our mild- mannered Student-Council president transformed into the hip swinging Conrad Birdie, but most important of all the pride in having had a share in something truly great. Conrad’s Honestly Sincere approach causes chaos in Sweet Apple. 63 Rosie used her Spanish charm to attract the Shriners attention. Mr. Theodore Kurdyla The grownups accuse Randolph MacAffe of being a member of the younger generation. Thanks to Ed Sullivan, Conrad's last kiss is viewed by the entire nation. 64 A salute to Conrad Birdie, An All American Boy. The grownups expound the age old problem of Kids. 65 Mr. MacAffe appeared stunned at the news of Kim's impending engagement. Albert jumps to clarify newsmen's questions and save Conrad's spotless reputation. Conrad explains why he has such Alot of Liv- ing to Do. T here are a thousand ways to cheat, and a thousand ways to There are ways uncounted to lose the game, but there's only one And whether you live by the sweat of your brow, or in luxury's garb you're dressed. You shall stand at last, when your race is run, to be judged by the single test. For only those victories shall cotjnt, when the work of life is done, Which bear the stamp of an honest man, and by courage and faith were won.

To help the team members keep their high spirits many fans were always on hand to cheer the boys to victory. Eagles attack. Cooperation is the driving force carried out by the players as they bring the ball down the field. 68 Eagle spirit runs rampant Pat Fitzgerald strides as he reaches the finish line. In friendly competition with soccer for the fall sports spotlight, the S.M.H.S. Cross Country team proved to be a worthy rival by sprinting through a successful 71-72 season. Hurdling the obstacles of long practices and unpredictable autumn weather the Cross Country team showed unrelenting spirit in striving for the best possible performance. An inspiration to the team Coach, Mr. Stephen Nestinger, never failed to encourage improvement and offer praise for a job well done. WV; wr � v , T CROSS COUNTRY MEMBERS; M. Crabko, T.

One of the favorite highlights of the St. Mary's sports scene was Var- sity Basketball. This year the Eagles proved they had the fever by the exhilirating teamwork and fine sportsmanship displayed in every contest. Although the season wasn't one of continual triumph, the unity and pride with which the Eagles played was impressive and gratifying to all who watched. Under the coaching and encouragement of Mr. John Scordinsky the Eagle players experienced much during the 71-72 basketball season. The excitement of games with cross town rival Hoffman, coming so close to upsetting St. Peter’s, and beating Madison in the last few sec- onds of the game. Playing their last year as Eagles were seniors; Stan Knast, Craig Beatty, Tom Boychuk, Joe Belmonte, Jim Shannon and Co-Captains — Tom Culick, John Carroll and Jay Thomas. The Eagles ended their season with an 8-14 record but reviewing their performance in all the games, an age old adage comes to mind: It's not whether you win or lose, But How You Play the Came! 70 Tom Culick drives past his op- ponents for two points for the Eagles. Jay Thomas leaps to score over his hometown rivals Hoffman. Jim Shannon instructs Rich Krzyanowski that con- fidence is an important part of the game.

The 1971-72 Junior Eagles showed fire and fight during this year's basketball season. Many students, formally only Varsity fans, showed up in throngs for J.V. games. With the tremendous enthusiasm of Coach Mr. Charles Nuziale the team hustled for a 10-10 record at the close of the season. The spirit of the Junior Varsity team, with Co-Cap- tains Paul Delaney and Jeff Sprague, gave to the over- whelming crowd, the inspiration to cheer their team on to victory. Coach Nuziale instructs his J.V. team to another vic- tory. The J. V. squad and Coach Nuziale are awed by the play on the court. Wipe Out! Eagles Spirit Echoes Loud And Clear Although they possessed as much talent and skill as any other athletes at Saint Mary's, the varsity cheerleaders never received any recognition for the enthusiasm and spirit that inspired many play- ers to victory for SMHS. Strenuous exercise and extra practice character- ized the varsity squad this year as they mastered skill in acrobatics. The precision and punctuality exhibited in their performances revealed much of the hard work and the amount of time they devot- ed to practice under the leadership of captain, Christine Norman and co-captains Eileen Carey and Diane Gorman and reflected the hard work of their coach, Mrs. Phyllis Brennan. 74 Varsity cheerleaders urge the team to unite and fight”. Junior Varsity cheerleaders get together with a cheer for their team and the coach, Mr. Nuziale. Debbie Woj signals the team on to victory. Jr. Varsity cheerleaders Cindy Polinski proves that there are no split decisions about the Eagles ability. Mary Belmonte demonstrates the Eagles ability to fly on to victory. The Team Behind the Team Leadership, pride, and enthusiasm, these three words characterize the 1971 - '72 Junior Varsity Cheerleading squad. Through determination and long hours of dedicated practice they have develop- ed great possibilities for Varsity membership next year. Their enthusiasm has moved both spectators and players to overwhelming victories over oppos- ing teams. The spirit displayed by these girls have set a mood filled with encouragement for the games that followed. So with devotion and determination these twelve girls have continued to instill a splash of vigor, willingness, and desire for athletics at SMHS. 75 There seems to be unequal balance for Mickey Quiqley in the Senior Faculty game.

Eaglettes Combine Action and Effort to Bring Success Coach Kuegle and her girls contemplate the action of the game. Under the supervision of their novice coach Miss Mary Jo Kuegle, the Varsity and Junior Varsity Eaglettes continued their fine performances of years past and made this season an overall success. During the 71-72 season the squad ventured to such places as Mater Dei and Edison for victories and suc- cessfully defeated their hometown rivals Hoffman. Playing their last year for the Eaglettes are Paula Grabko, Lynn Henry, Coleen O'Leary and Co-Captains Kathy Birmingham and Lynn Nebus. Because of the fine showing of the Junior Birds the gap will be hope- fully bridged at the beginning of next year.

Just when it seemed that the whole school had a cold and the winter months would never end, spring blossomed and Baseball season was here again! Baseball, long a favorite sport at St. Mary's, prov- ed once again to inspire the enthusiastic approval of record-breaking crowds of spectators. Under the experienced hands of Coaches Mr. Tom Otto and Mr. Kevin Toolan, Varsity and Junior Varsity squads were carefully chosen in early March. Through long hard work and perseverance .the boys progressed from being just members of a team, to a united force, working together as a team. The 1972 Baseball season at St. Mary's was a mo- del to all of pride, determination, and fine sports- manship at work. Teammates give a look of encouragement as Slugger Tom Boychuk steps up to the plate. 84 Gary Buckalew awards himself a smile of approval for a sure catch.

Will ever the day come when n whose brightness books shed the wise link the joy of knowledge a blinding dust. to youth's dream? Will ever the day come when Nature becomes the teacher of man, humanity his book and life his school? Youth's joyous purpose cannot be fulfilled until that day comes. Too slow is our march toward spiritual elevation, because we make so little use of youth's ardor. Kahlil Gibran From left to right: C. Arbach, L. Anderson, J. Bartlinski, P. Bukovec, E. Batruk, K.

But now our sleep has fled and our dream is over and it is no longer dawn. The noontide is upon us and our half waking has turned to a fuller day and we must part. If in the twilight of memory we should meet once again together and you shall sing to me a deeper song, And if our hands should meet in another dream we shall build another tower in the sky. Kahlil Gibran When through one man a little more love and goodness, a little more light and truth comes into the world, then that man's life has had meaning. Alfred Delp Dedication Painful as change may be, we cannot remain for- ever the carefree children of yesterday. And so we must grow and there is no growth without change. We have grown and changed much in the last four years. Each of us mirrors a mosaic of all past experiences, rewarding or frightening, happy or sorrowful, every one has left a lasting impression. Just as we are shaped by events so are we also shaped by people. One person at St. Mary's has been an example to us in all he has accomplished. Mr. Thomas Rooney has contributed to many aspects of our high school years. In the classroom, he was a willing and able teach- er who steered us through the rigors of Latin and did away with the monotony of English. Athletics, an important part of our lives, expanded and thrived under his direction. In our personal lives he was a friend, to joke with, talk with, question, always knowing he understood. As we look to the future we all have something to bring the world, but we leave something behind too. An earnest teacher, a loyal friend, a person with very short hair, but a very big heart. To Mr. Thomas Rooney, you dedicated your life to us; we, the Class of 1972, dedicate our future to what you taught us! 112 We Did It Our Way SENIOR CLASS OF 1972 Carole loan Ablazey Robert Charles Ahrens Donna Marie Adelfio Thomas Peter Alvarado Anne Marie Amatucci Shari Ann Applegate 114 Daniel Joseph Arnold Thomas Mark Bagala John Matthew Avagliano Deborah Ann Arrington Carol Ann Bauer 115 Craig Joseph Beatty Joseph James Belmonte Kathleen Elizabeth Birmingham Barbara Lynn Bohm Anthony Biancamano 116 Patricia Anne Bokan Margaret Carol Bonis Ronald Robert Bowlby Thomas Richard Boychuk Know that yesterday is but today's memory and tomorrow is today's dream. 117 Ruthanne Margaret Brennan And let today embrace the past with remembrance and the future with longing.
