Climbing up endless flights of stairs and trudging down never ending hallways... Sleeping through morning announcements and waiting for afternoon ones... Struggling to open lockers and fighting the four minute rush... Hiding our “navy” pants and wearing Mr. Schreiber’s designer” ties... Forcing down the cafeteria food and “hanging out on the greentop... Getting rowdy at pep rallies and planning for the big dance... Building friendships and creating memories ... Making decisions and growing up ... Maintaining school spirit and cheering on our classmates Living for the weekends and trying to keep our heads above water... These years slip away before we know it. Are they really the best years of our lives? Without a doubt! 3 — to a friend, your ear; i SENIOR SUPERLATIVES A Senior Superlative can be defined as a senior who sur- passes others in a certain area.

Dear Seniors, Your four years at St. Mary High School have come to a successful conclusion — years you will remember fondly. As you travel the roads of life, this book will pop up at unex- pected times. It will remind you of the teachers, classmates, and events that will bring tears to your eyes and smiles to your face. Keep this little book safe because as the years pass, you will treasure it more and more. My prayers and blessings go with you as you start down a new path in life. Be faithful to the teachings of Christ. True peace lies within each one of you and nothing can take away or mar that peace if you are true to Jesus and to yourself. True peace and love start within, overflow and go out to others. Shakespeare said, “To thine ownself be true, and it must follow, as the night the day, thou canst not then be false to any man. Jesus teaches us, “Love God with your whole mind, with your whole heart, with your whole soul and love your neighbor as yourself. Keep these two thoughts in mind. And may you find the peace and love of Jesus in your lives and share that peace and love with all with whom you come in contact. Prayerfully in Christ, Sr. Margaret 19 Adele Baluk.

At times we’ve found it to be slow and troubling, but we have met a man who has helped us. Other times we have rushed through our days, heedless of our destinations; but there is a man in our lives who has slowed us down. This man has given much of his own time to us so that our lives may be more worthwhile. He has brought us to times of unequaled laughter and has sat with us through times of tearful emotion. He has taught us to live, to love, to learn .. . and to know our history. Still, life is always changing. As we grow older, it is unavoidable that we will always remember this one man, John Gloss. So, we dedicate this yearbook to you, Mr. Gloss, and along with it our hearts, our minds, and part of our souls. 34 A-y junday M vjay Tuexhy U dnnby7horsdoy Friday Saiottfay 4-_ 1 ,3. 3 xT • n ?

The Boys’ Cross Country Team showed great improvement this year over last year’s record. The team was paced by Junior John Bayers, who was also selected to Honorable Mention on the All-County Team. Senior Co- Captains Jay Stangreciak and Anthony Cappadona, and Junior Luis Armas supplied the team with the back up needed to acquire their wins. Cross Country is an individual’s sport; how far one pushes himself is what counts. Therefore, any team member who finishes a race deserves credit. Junior Tim Klimek, “The Spaceman,” is perhaps the best example of what a runner should be although he never received any recognition, he came to every meet and “Gave his all!” In State and county meets, only seven runners are allowed to run on the Varsity team, but the rest of the team was always willing to provide support. Seniors Kevin McLaughlin, - Bill Sullivan and Neil Matthaey gave the team the encouragement it needed to compete with pride in these meets. Because of this, the team’s motto for this season and those to come is: “Wa k Tall, Run Proud, and Fly Like Eagles.” 104 LADY EAGLES FLY TO TOP Top. Margaret Mary Piccolo, Jeanne Radwanski.

The Girls Cross Country Team led by Coach of the Year Ed Fitzgerald, again had a terrific season, finishing their dual meet season with ten wins and no losses. The team led by Senior Co-Captain Virginia Zaleski. placed second in the county meet and tied for first in the state meet. Virginia won the State Meet, and was named New Jersey Parochial State Champion. Although Virginia led the team, throughout the season she could hear the footsteps of Junior Jeanne Radwanski not far behind her. Jeanne, in only her second season of running, was always within yards, if not even with Virginia at the finish of every race. Junior Allison Carew was never far behind Jeanne. With these three and Sophomore Janice Reilly and Senior MaryBeth Christensen, for the first time in St. Mary’s History, the team qualified for the New Jersey Meet of Champions. “We want to prove to everyone that St. Mary’s belongs here.” said Coach Ed Fitzgerald before the race. And that’s just what they did with a strong finish in the middle of the pack, beating many of the larger schools. Since Cross Country is a sport that does not attract many spectators, the team members must provide their own enthusiasm. Strong support was given throughout the season by the Carew family who were even present for many of the away meets. Even though in a state or county meet only seven runners can be entered, that did not keep the rest from participating. The whole team of 21 members was present for both meets. Staunch support was supplied by Freshman Karen Scupp, Junior Ann Cunningham and Seniors Jennifer Somers and Co- Captain Maureen Flannery. Those runners who were injured were not to be left out either. Junior Karen Waltz and Freshmen Cindy Caldon and Lisa Harrigan were present at every race. It looks like the team will be strong for years to come too. led by strong support for this year’s Freshman class. Runners such as Lisa Harrigan and Eileen Murphy hold the promise for the team’s future. BOYS VARSITY SOCCER L to R: Kevin White. Dave Godleski, Capt. Altilia Soltesz. Joe Bohn. Capt. Dennis Foerter.

During all regular season games and into the finals, the fans really came out and supported the team. In fact, it was the first time since the Champion ’79-'80 Basketball team, that buses were necessary to transport everyone who wished to attend. This prompted one of the Mater Dei players to remark. “Even though you lost, your fans acted like you were winning all along.” The Eagles had a strong backfield led by the power of Senior Joe Bohn and the surprise addition of Senior Kevin White, who hadn’t played soccer until this year. The Juniors added strength with Mark Daskiewicz and goalie Pete Slanina. The offense, inspired by captains Dennis Foerter and Attila Soltesz, was superior, with the consistent aid of Rich Malik, Johart Romulus and Tommy Keevins. The team consisted of all upperclassmen with the exception of sophomore Jim Valente. This year a new school record was set by Senior Captain Dennis Foerter for the most goals scored in the season; Dennis totaled 27. Dennis and Senior Johart Romulus were placed on the 1st Team All- Conference. In addition, the team had its best season in St. Mary’s history. Way to go Eagles! J.V. SOCCER Top: Coach Steve Tranotti.

Soccer team. The key to their successful playing was their consistent defense.” said Coach Tranotti. Juniors Jerry Doherty and Jim Reynolds played an important part in stimulating the defensive line but the major force came from the aggressive leadership shown by goalie Charles Roehler. The Goalie has the most defensive position on the field. When the goalie doesn't let up or give in. this influences the whole team to try even harder, and that is a result only gained by a true leader. The offense, which had a slower start than the defense, was the result of a team effort. There wasn’t just one scorer, there were many like Juniors Rich Santangelo and Steven Andelfinger. Mike Talian and Ken Meyers also did their share of passing and assisting as well as scoring. The Varsity team is losing eight Seniors so be prepared to see these players helping Coach Schreiber on the Varsity team. 107 GIRLS VARSITY SOCCER Top: Chris Connelly, Gail Devine, JoAnn Brady, Kris Kloskowski, Beth Vaning, Chris Cartwright, Deidre Hornick, Karin White, Michele Zaleski, Manager: Kathy Testa, Coach: Mrs. Turk, Teri O'Brien, Regina Raczkowski, Jackie Smolinski, Kathy Hartney, Theresa Bien. Bottom: Laura Badwanski, Rosie Murphy, Co-Captains Terry Collins and Alyce Vaning, Keyyy Curtis, Robyn Ruotillio. Missing: Mary Ann Reis. Girl’s soccer is a new sport at St. Mary’s. The team has existed for only three years. In this short time, they have acquired a very loyal if not large following. Mr. Tom Tice heads these fans. Coach Kathy Turk says of the team, “They play a tough game but the girls never gave up. They gave everything they had, right down to the final whistle.” The girls may not have had the best record in the school but no team could have given more of themselves. Starting for the Eagles were Senior Co-Captains Terry Collins and halfback Alyce Vaning at either halfback or fullback. The strong leadership these two gave to the team will be missed next year. Senior Forward Chris Connelly also started. Chris was high scorer for the team. Sophomore fullback Michele Zaleski helped Teri often during the season with her strong defensive play. The Freshman class contributed much to the team also. Forward Rosie Murphy played tough, fearless offense throughout the season. Chris Cartwright, another freshman was a big asset to the team. She was one of the few players on the team with a previous knowledge of the game. Her versatility, playing any position on the field, was invaluable. Versatility, is not the only thing necessary on a team, however. Regina Rackowski, starting at halfback, played dependable consistent soccer which added important stability to the team. All season long the team stuck together. They played every game tough, from beginning to end. At the final whistle, no matter what the score, every girl on the team came out a winner. 108 GIRLS TENNIS Top: Coach Mary Jo Kuegle. Theresa O'Meara. Jean O’Toole. Lynn Paczkowski.

People seem to know who we are and want to see us,” said senior member Karen Kilcooley who also starts First Doubles along with Kathy Noble. The team itself made it to the finals for the Parochial B South title but lost in a close defeat to Marer Dei. Coach Kuegle is looking forward to next season with strong underclassmen support. In fact, three sophomores. Lynn Pachkowski, Lynn Kilcooley. and Maureen Fallon made the All-State Parochial Second-Team. Maureen is especially promising. She started 1st singles this year. It must run in her family for there is a senior member Kathy Fallon, and another sister, Eileen, who graduated in 1982 and was state champ in 1981. Maureen also made it to the Round of 16 in the singles Tournament of the states, which puts her at about 32nd as a sophomore, in the state. She also made it to the finals of the counties, as did the second doubles. They both were defeated but second in the county isn’t bad. 109 VARSITY GYMNASTICS Top: Lisa Zdzienicki, Kim Weber, Denise Bouchard. Beth Vollman, Lisa Kelly. Coach Diana Orphanides, Crystal Downing.

There are four events that girls compete in: uneven parallel bars; vaulting; the balance beam; and floor exercise. In Gymnastics, seniority is not important. Because individual ability counts, a Freshman can be entered in more events than a Senior. Two examples of this are Sophomore MaryBeth Babecki, who excelled in the floor exercise event, and Freshman Bernadette Wykpisz who was the highest team scorer on the floor. The only upperclassmen on the team were Seniors Denise Bouchard and Janet Wojciechowski this year. According to Coach Diana Orphanides, “Denise was an all-around competitor.. . highest scorer on the uneven parallel bars.’’ Captain Wojciechowski, the highest scorer on the balance beam, was unfortunately plagued by injury part of the season but came back enthusiastically. The team looks quite strong for next year thanks to support from the underclassmen. Sophomore Kim Quirk, the co-captain, was the highest scorer in the county tournament with a 7.0 on the vaulting. Others who will contribute next year will be Peggy D’Onofrio, Lisa Kelly, Beth Vollmann and Kim Weber. Manager Lisa Zdzienicki will return with her support and great help too. The gymnastics team of ’82-’83 also held several fund raisers and has purchased a padded balance beam cover to be donated to the school. VARSITY BASKETBALL Top: Coach Mr. Pritchard, Bob Fitzpatrick. Jim Byrne, Roberto Benites. Sean Regan, Joe Byrne. Bill O'Leary. Bottom: Mike Roman. John Kennedy, Jett Pacansky, Randy Wilson. Steve Martin. Missing: Mike Caldon. The Boys’ Varsity Basketball team opened its season just a few, short weeks ago, and it appears to be a pretty well balanced team. The team contains not only height, but quickness as well. Strength in rebounding is supplied by Seniors Roberto Benites, Sean Regan, and Bob Fitzpatrick. Bob, supplies not only aggressive rebounding, but also has a good outside shot to add points to the score when needed. Juniors Jim Byrne and Mike Caldon add power to the rebounding and defense also. Senior John Kennedy controls the team’s offense at point guard and together with Junior Jeff Pacansky provide a good fast break for the team. Senior Mike Roman and Junior Steve Martin fill in as taller guards and help out tremendously with rebounding because of their size. Sophomores Joe Byrne, Bill O’Leary and Randy Wilson round out the squad and play good strong basketball, both offense and defense, coming off the bench. Coach Gil Pritchard feels that although the team is off to a slow start, things are starting to come together. The team lost to some powerful squads, but he feels they will be winning track again. The fan support the team gets is really appreciared, because in a spectator sport such as basketball, the crowd can be like a “sixth man on the floor. The enthusiasm of the stands seems to spread over the players, and can really be a factor in winning a close game. Eagles' fans have always been supportive, even when the team is down, they have never given up. Neither have the players ever given up, as has been said, “When you’re winning don’t let up, and when you’re losing don’t give up.’’ This statement is certainly true of this Eagle team and is something they can always be proud of. J.V. BASKETBALL L to R: Coach Joe Lorello, John Jeffreys. Kevin Morano. Sean Curtis. Jim O'Connor. Jim Crossnohere. Dave Skarzynski. Bottom: Randy Golembieski. Randy Wilson, Jim Valante. Jay Mazzela, Bill O’Leary. This years JV had a really excellent team. They were strong, and quick as well. Their coach, Joe Lorello, was also the coach of the Freshman team, so being with them for two years could only be an advantage. “We like to play organized ball,” said Sophomore Jim Crossnohere, “but we can be aggressive when we have to and still keep our cool.” The three tall men, Junior Kevin Morano, and Sophomores Jim O'Connor and Jim Valante. combine their quickness with Kevin’s outside shot. O’Connor’s rebounding ability and Valante’s inside infiltration, to give their team the power they needed underneath. Point guard Randy Golembieski is tremendously quick and plays a really tight defense. He was aided by guard Jim Crossnohere whose aggressiveness really aroused the teams desire to win. This strong defensive team also had a reliable bench with point guard John Jeffreys’ soft shot, Sean Curtis’ inside accuracy, Jay Mazzela’s clutch foul shots, and Dave Skarzynski’s quick hands. Three sophomores who play Varsity often help out for about two quarters of JV too. and they are Randy Wilson. Bill O’Leary, and Joe Byrne. With such a strong JV and three sophomores who are already gaining Varsity experience, we can expect a good upcoming Varsity team, because after all, JV’s are the backbones of future Varsity’s. 113 FRESHMEN BASKETBALL L to R: Rich Fleming. Matt Blaha, Sean McCarthy, Bob Waltz, Coach Gerard Marone, Dave Kennedy. John Hensberger. A. J. Boehler, and John Nemeth. With a new coach this year, the Freshman Basketball Team looked forward to a new season. Coach Gerard Marone of South Amboy had the boys primed and ready for a tough season. St. Mary's is a Group I school, that is one of the smallest schools in the state. Most Group I schools do not have Fresnman teams and in order for our team to find competition, they must play teams from Group III and Group IV schools, the largest schools in the state. This makes the competition very keen, and any victory by St. Mary's, a well earned one. The team is a very well balanced one, combining might and speed very effectively. Starting at center for the Eagles is Bob Waltz who gets his rebounding support from forwards Dave Kennedy and Sean McCarthy. Matt Blaha occupies the shooting guard, or the wing, position. His outside shot makes the defense work very hard. Handling the ball for the Eagles, a position known as the point guard, is Rich Fleming. Rich’s fine passing and ball control in general, are what makes the offense run. The team does not usually play on the same days as the other two boys' teams, so the crowds are usually small, but this does not mean they are not supportive. The excitement generated by the coach, initiates cheers of support from the fans. These cheers in turn give important energy to the players. The importance of an enthusiastic coach and crowd is not to be underestimated nor is this year’s strong Freshman team to be underestimated. 114 VARSITY CHEERLEADING Linda Munoz. Nancy Barcelo.

This year’s cheerleading squads put a lot of effort into adding more professionalism to their performance. They practiced in the same time slot as the basketball teams in order to perfect their routines under the direction of the new coach Miss Hensberger. The Varsity squad, led by captains Karen Kilcooley and Ellen Zaleski, are vital in their ability to control the crowds excitement and mold it into positive energy. There are four year members such as the two captains, Sue Smith and Teresa Martin. There are also three Juniors on the squad, Robyn Ruorillio, Marlene Maikiewicz and Jaqui Smith. The JV squad is especially good this year. — ‘Both squads are military styled cheerleaders. said Karen Kilcooley, But the JV has a competitiveness which makes them stand out. Cheerleaders are often overshadowed by the basketball team and forgotten about but we haven’t forgotten them. Cheerleaders do a job and our cheerleaders do it well! 115 VARSITY BASKETBALL Top: Coach Miss Feldman, Jeanne Radwanski, Karen Waltz, Peggy Connor, Dawn Turner, Mary Jean Sibilia, Tricia Stockton. Mary Del Duca. Eleanor Wykpisz, Jill Carew. Bottom: Co-Captains Flossie O’Leary and Maureen Flannery. The Girls Varsity Basketball Team is off to a good start this season. They have so far compiled a record of four wins and only one loss. Senior Flossie O’Leary and Juniors Mary Jean Sibilia and Dawn Turner provide the height and rebounding for the team, whose average height is five feet, six inches tall. Senior Maureen Flannery. Junior Karen Waltz, and Sophomore Eleanor Wykpisz fill in the guard spots and the team has a rotating ball handler, usually Jeanne Radwanski or Freshman Jill Carew. The only four year member on the team is Tricia Stockton, a versatile left hander who plays both guard and forward. “We may be small, but we’re quick,’’ says coach Lori Feldman, “We fastbreak whenever we can.’’ For this reason, Tricia is not only the only team member playing two positions, Seniors Mary DelDuca and Peggy Connor also play both guard and forward. Girls’ Basketball has never gotten very much fan support at St. Mary’s, but that’s only because people think it is a different game than the boys play. With the fast paced game this team had, more fans should be drawn out to watch. Much dedication has already been shown within the families of the team members themselves. It is not unusual to see the crowd that comes, dominated by the families of the team. This dedication is demonstrated in the fact that even the managers, Paula Wilson and Jennifer Somers, come to team practices. As one team member said, “There is so much hustle and desire to win, we are gaining more confidence in ourselves. With an attitude like that, can the team be anything but successful? 116 J.V. BASKETBALL Top: Jill Carew. Debbie Kelton. Karen Scupp. Ellen McSorely. Chris Cartwright. Lisa Harrigan. Bottom: Janice Reilly. Karen Charmelio. Nora Fischer. Sue Jackson. Under Coach Strauch, the girls are off to a fine start. Led by Sophomores Janice Reilly and Karen Charmelio, the team should have a good season. Also in the line-up are Juniors Sue Jackson, at guard, and Nora Fischer, at forward. By no means is the team only dominated by upper classmen. The Freshman class has produced many fine players also. Forwards Debbie Keiton and Ellen McSorely are prime examples. The rebounding skills of these two Freshmen show great promise. The team possesses a lot of hustle and very good ball handling. Their ability to break a press is undeniable. The team’s point guard. Janice Reilly not only handles the ball well in regular circumstances, but when a press is put on she stays calm and undisturbed. This sort of calm is not only necessary to keep control of the ball, but also to keep control of the team and score points. Karen Charmelio, the other Sophomore on the team possesses not only a fine outside shot, but also good, sound rebounding skills. Not only these two. but every player on the team is versatile, and that adds up to a winning season. With the talent on this Junior Varsity Team, the quality of girls basketball will not decrease at graduation, as is the case in many schools. 117 WRESTLING Top: Head Coach: Mr. Frank Yusko.

One has to admire this team for their perseverence. There are twelve weight classes; a wrestler must weigh according to his class, or even less, an hour before the match begins or he cannot compete. Therefore, it is often necessary for the wrestlers to run off extra ounces or pounds before weigh in. This year’s team has a new coach, Mr. Frank Yusko; as a first year coach, Mr. Yusko has been assisted by Phil Valdivia, last year’s team captain. Phil has proved invaluable in preparing the team through his past experiences. Three Senior grapplers, Tom Wagner, Jeff Prybylowski, and Mark Slover, were outstanding. Coach Yusko looks forward to next year and the continued efforts of Freshmen Mike Totten and Steve Santanglo as well as Juniors Craig Smoller, Bill Nixon, and Rich Santanglo. 118 H W Cf) SCHOOL SENATES F R E S H M E N A.J.

SENIOR RETREAT 122 ajRSisi jn ru «««if i «s RETREAT When a student reaches the plateau of “senior year,” the long-awaited senior retreat becomes reality. During tour years at St. Mary’s, seniors think they get to know most members of their class. However, at some point in their final year, they realize that they know very little about many classmates. It is during the retreat that this realiza- tion hits. For three days in November, we seniors left our jobs, forgot our schoolwork, and abandoned our usual groups of friends to learn more about our peers and to discover new traits in ourselves. We participated in a number of ac- tivities designed “to get to know each other. At first dif- ficult, eventually we relaxed and revealed personal things about ourselves. There were three groups of seniors, each staying at a different retreat location. Our food was provided by the house staff and we provided the service. Some of the delicious treats served by the “cruisers” were vegetable soup (green bean soup?), the appetizing wheat bread and crackers, as side orders. We’ll long savor our favorite beverages: skim milk and grape juice. Although the menu was less than fantastic, we managed to survive. We participated in the various scheduled activities and we created a few unscheduled activities of our own. Will we ever forget Jim Sissick’s and Dave Godlesky’s rendi- tion of “Up in Smoke” or the cracked mirror’s “seven years bad luck?” Lisa Vallone arrived with enough food to feed all three groups and Christina Partington’s cabin con- tacted a case of “green lips.” Debbie Churpakovich even invented a new alphabet of J's and D’s, and the world’s greatest food fight occurred at group C’s house. And so. for those three days in November, although our groups were miles apart, we were united in the spirit of our retreat. Our memories cherished during those days made our senior retreat one of the best times in our high school years. 123 DUNGEONS AND DRAGONS OVERVIEWS OF BOGO THE DWARF From its inception, three years ago, when only four students participated, Dungeons and Dragons has grown to nearly four times that number. Throughout these years, many people from all four grade levels have wanted to know what, exactly, Dungeons and Dragons was and how it’s played. Now, a chance to explain, in brief, both the game and the club. Dungeons and Dragons is first and foremost a game; as per Webster, “A contest of strength, skill, or chance, for sport or for stakes.” Unlike ordinary boardgames, however, Dungeons and Dragons goes beyond the limits of established rules and lets the players create, through their imagination, a world of fantasy adventure. In this world, horrific monsters and various creatures of the darkness come to life. Tombs and crypts laiden with foul beasts, Front Row: Joe Delaney. George Petzold. Joe Norton. Back Row: Chris Carter, Ken Benson. Don McCaughy. Missing: deadly traps, and hoarded treasure just Mrs. Tighe Moderator. waiting to be found become real, and the players must encounter and overcome thenri or die in the attempt. There are more mundane aspects of the game. To start an adventure, all that are needed are a few imaginative people, the game rules, a lot of paper, and some pens or pencils, The first things one must know about Dungeons and Dragons is that it is a fantasy role playing game. In it, the players assume alteregos hereafter called characters that are created by the casting of dice. These dice determine certain physical and mental attributes and thier limits. From there, the players must decide what race of creature they would like to be from the many choices given. Then the profession of the created characters must be decided upon. Then all that remains for the players to do is to equip their characters with whatever the players deem necessary: such such as armor, weapons, food, etc. But before play can begin, one member of the group must be appointed the Dungeon Master. This person will not play the game with a character; his role is unique. The players need a world of myth and magic to put their patiently constructed characters into. It is the job of the Dungeon Master to create one. For this, the person chosen must have many attributes: imagination, desire to create, a certain maturity, and plenty of time. His role is critical for the Dungeon Master is the final arbiter of all matters of the adventure. It is he who resolves any conflicts over rules, and his decisions must be adhered to at all times. Once the world is created, the Dungeon Master selects a local to start the game. The players are given some information or clues and from there must live or die by their own decisions. All that a player has a right to know as a character is what he or she sees. It is as if the character has come to life, and is aware of those things that would be apparent to any individual but would not know things that are beyond his or her capability to know. From this beginning, the game will grow as the characters adventure far and wide across the face of the fantasy world. The game will seem to take on its own direction and will become a unique creation that has been built by the creativity and imagination of the people involved. This, then, is what the club does behind the doors of room eleven. The Dungeon Masters Chris Carter and George Petzold, sit in front of a semi-circle of players, carefully hiding information about the dungeon that we are presently playing. They describe what the characters see, hear, etc. and answer any questions that they might have. From there the players decide what course of action must be taken. Here is an example of what a typical conversation between the players and the Dungeon Master might sound like. DM: “Well, the party has advanced down the length of the corridor and has come to a large wooden door, about eight feet by foor feet.” PLYR: “Okay, the gnome thief will listen at the door to see if he can hear anything on the other side, meanwhile, the rest of us are going to keep an eye on the way we came so that no nasties sneak up behind us. ” (The Dungeon Master knows fullwell that a large ogre is sitting peacefully at the other end of the door just waiting for someone to come through, but the players would not be able to determine this, so he says...) DM: “The gnome thief has been listening at the door, but he can’t hear a thing. Sounds pretty quiet in there. By the way, no monsters have come up the corridor to oppose your party.” PLYR: “Good. The barbarian and dwarfin fighter are going to open the door while the rest of us prepare to charge into the room. Okay, on the count of three, go!” DM: “On the count of three, your crew opens the door and the party charges in. Only then do you realize that a huge, hairy creature of immense proportions is there, ready to make Hors d ’ourves out of all of you.” A general hue and cry proceeds from the players as they desperately try to organize themselves into battle formation. What will happen? Will the ogre get his midnight snac, or will the characters be able to fend off the creature's attack. Perhaps the characters should try to make a deal with the beast or hightail it out of there and hope the ogre is slow on his feet. This is the stuff of Dungeons and Dragons. A Final personal note. The title of this article may sound strange to the reader. Bogo was the name that Dungeon Master Chris Carter gave his first Dungeons and Dragons Character. He was a dwarf whose strength had to make up for his dull wit. His legends will not be sung around the taverns of any fantasy world because he was killed at a young age by a magic-user friend turned evil. Though the dwarf never did deeds of great renown, he did have a lot of fun and even saved the party that he adventured with on many occassions (When he wasn't bombed out of his mind that is). So, here’s to Bogo, the dwarf? 124 — Chris “Rock” Carter HOOTENANNY Top Row: Denise Bouchard, Tom LaBue, Kevin While, Larry Walker. Jim Sissick. Michele While, Tim Hodges. Boitom Row. Joe Pipala.

Traditionally, a hootenanny would be a gathering of folk musicians encouraging audience participation. In modern terms, at least at St. Mary’s, the hootenanny is a rock show. This year’s show presented St. Mary’s talent at their best! The night began to rock shortly after eight o’clock with sophomore Brian Nash’s band. ’’Sato” who did an electric version of the “Star Spangled Banner.’’ After Sato rocked through a few more songs, senior Tim Hodges mellowed the crowd with Jackson Browne’s “The Road Out.’’ Seniors Shawn Lenahan and Tom La Bue brilliantly performed the Billy Joel classic “You’re My Home. The band “Vengeance. featuring senior Denise Bouchard, gave a shattering rendition of Pat Benatar's “Hit Me With Your Best Shot. After the audience's “cigarette and coke break, the second half of the show began with senior Michelle White singing her anthem “I Love Rock and Roll; this marked Michelle’s fourth year in the hootenanny. “Zeus, junior Larry Walker’s band, pounded out Tom Sayer for wound-up audience. The show ended with senior Dave Godledky's band “King’s Ransom performing their awesome rendition of the Rolling Stones “Jumpin Jack Flash. Dave, also a four-year veteran, will be missed in next year’s show. This hootenanny will long be remembered by all as one rockin’ night in St. Mary auditorium. 125 GERMAN CLUB Kathy Testa, Pres.; Alexandra Orlowski, Treas.; Middle: Laurie Elko, Maureen Fallon, BethAnn Gutsick, Jamie Diem, Margaret Marry Piccolo.

Every Friday, during the announcements, one item can always be heard: French Club Meeting on Monday. What do they do after school? Speak French to each other? Well, yes, that's part of it! The other part involves playing games, eating, and making crafts for an annual Christmas bazaar. Moderator Madame Bucher has French games that can be enjoyed by English speaking people. These games include Scrabble and Milles Bournes. Also, like Flash Cards, Madame has cards that have a sentence in English written on them. As A French Club member, one must repeat the sentence except and here’s the tricky part, it must be repeated in French. Senior Lyn- da Munoz is the best at this and gets ninety-nine percent right. Another fun part of French Club is the food. Every year the French celebrate Mardis Gras. This is a day before Lent during which everyone eats before fasting. The French Club also has a great feast. Some specialities found are croissants (a French bread pastry) made by Eleanor Wykpisz. Another specialty is chocolate chip cookies made by Madame herself. The most important event of the year is the French Club’s Christmas Bazaar. This provides the sole income for the club. Each member is assigned a different craft and cookies to make. When the big day arrives, everything from felt ice-cream cones to pom-pom bears to a wide variety of luscious cookies and brownies can be found. What does the French Club do with all the money they make? According to Madame Bucher about one fourth of it goes; over three fourths is divided among the club members. The club members in return spend this money on a French movie and a meal in a French restaurant — SA CREPE! (translation: You’r crepe!) Anyone who has taken French or who is just learning the language may join the club. An example of this is Elizabeth Wykpisz who isn’t taking French anymore but is in the club. Junior Allison Carew is taking French I and recently joined the club. Food, games and money making is what the French Club of- fers. It is also a time for meeting new people and learning a new language. 126 Missing: Annemarie Orlowski. V.P.: MaryPat Burke. Seer.; Christopher Hausner. Alexander Ust, Joseph Van Pely.

On September 10th, we returned to St. Mary’s to continue our ongoing quest for knowledge, knowing this year was going to be special. Junior year is full of colorful activities, the first day of which is the special day set aside, for us, Junior Ring Day. The day was set for November 15th. As it drew near, our excitement escalated and our apprehensions went through our minds, Would the rings be the right size? And the one question on everyone’s mind “Would it rain?” The day commenced at 10 a.m. in the church for our Ring Day mass. Following the mass we proceeded to the LittleTheatre to receive our rings. After that, there was a luncheon at St. Pat’s Hall. It was definitely something to remember. The day ended inspiring memories that will never be forgotten. For instance, who could forget Craig’s transformation from suit and tie to jeans and tee-shirt within five minutes? The way Jerry shook up the church when walking to the alter, the applause Tim Klimek received as he was called, Robin Callahan’s fashion show, Marie sporting her svelte new figure, Lynn's ultra-cool ascent to the stage or Mr. Twomey’s mispronunciation of certain people’s names. It was a perfect day that will be remembered for a long time. ■ 127 OLYMPICS OF THE MIND The Olympics of the Mind is an activity which involves students in a creative problem solving competition. The problems are classified as “long term” or “spontaneous” problems. The “long term” problems are often mechanical in nature and are given to the students approximately two months prior to the competition. The spontaneous problems are released to the students on the day of actual competition. Students work in teams of five. This year, one team has worked on a problem called “wrecking ball structure.” Another team has written a humorous version of a scene from the Odyssey, creating their own sets, costumes and musical effects. These teams compete with other teams from different high schools who have also worked on solutions to the same problems. If medals were given for creativity, the Olympics of the Mind team members at St. Mary’s would all be gold medal winners. Top: John Radwanski. Sam Shiftman. Don McCaughy. Mrs. Bauer. Mrs. Tighe.

In the Gifted and Talented program at St. Mary’s there are three areas of giftedness: academic, creative, and psychosocial. Multiple criteria are used to identify that five percent to ten percent of the stu- dent body considered gifted. For the academic students, I.Q., achievement scores, teacher recommendations, self-nominations and parental approval are all considered for place- ment in the program. In the tenth grade, the academically gifted students attend a critical thinking class once a week. The eleventh and twelfth grade students meet with a teacher or mentor, and together they work toward writing a project for independent study which the students focus on for the year. Another outlet is participation in an academic quiz bowl with competing teams from other high schools in the area. The students applying to the creative component are required to apply to the Middlesex County Arts High School by submitting a portfolio of their work. If they are creative writers or artists or auditioning if they are vocal, music, dance, or drama students. If they are chosen, they attend class taught by a master artist in their particular discipline once a week for three hour sessions. Other creative outlets for the students are Olympics of the Mind teams, which in- volve creative problem solving. A student gifted in the psychosocial area is that student who shows great leadership ability and potential. Their projects are community service oriented and concentrate on social, economic, and political problems in the school and the community. These students are selected after considering the recommendations of teachers and moderators of ac- tivities, the students own sense of commitment to service, and peer nominations. 129 SCEPTRE SCEPTRE STAFF Editor-in-chief ...

Different people seemed to be talented as organizers while others were more capable as artists, photographers, typists, or writers. All agreed, however, that originality was to be the primary concern. For the first time, the yearbook contains pictures shot by student photographers. Except for the senior portraits, all other work in the Sceptre: art, copy, and the photographs, is staff-produced. The theme The Best Years of Our Lives,” chosen in September, represents the student experience at St. Mary’s. Any member of the yearbook staff would agree that working on this year’s book was one of his her best times in high school. Despite the deadlines, the rolls of over-exposed film, the last- minute developing, hours of editing the many missing pictures, the meetings amid mass confusion... all look back and would repeat any of those times. Many seniors and some juniors worked to put together the yearbook. In addition, there were many other people who helped and supported the staff's efforts. The administration and faculty were especially understanding during the year as classes were interrupted for various photo sessions. The secretaries in the main office were always kind as this editor was constantly calling groups over the P.A. system. The business department always allowed the staff typists to invade their rooms for hours after school to complete the deadlines. The underclassmen and faculty were so patient as they posed and re-posed for the amateur photographers. And, as the last lay out has been completed and the final deadline has been shipped to the publisher, working as a member of the 1983 Sceptre staff has become the best experience of a terrific time in high school.

As a library aide, they perform tasks such as typing documents, checking-out books, arranging books and many other duties expected of a librarian. In addition to learning skills which are useful in the library, these students gain experience that will help them in any clerical field, or in any office position. The library aides are greatly appreciated by Mrs. Hancik and the rest of the staff for their help. And these upperclassmen are grateful to the library staff for the program. The Audio-Visual club is a Veteran activity at St. Mary’s. The members of this small club perform many tasks throughout the school. They wind film on projectors and prepare various pieces of technical equipment through the building for classroom showings and special lectures featuring guest speakers. They also assist in preparing the speaking systems in the auditorium, the Little Theater or in St. Patrick’s Hall. Finally this competent group of boys, returns all equipment to proper storage to see it is maintained. To some, their jobs seem tedious, but they are a valued group of hard workers.

The National Honor Society however, does not fall into this category. This Society has definite requirements. These include maintaining a B average and strength in the following areas: A. character B. leadership C. scholarship D. service The Society already has many members who display these qualities. These people were chosen by a special committee of teachers. The teachers selected a certain percentage of students from the tenth, eleventh, and twelfth grades. The students chosen in the tenth grade are only probationary members. They must prove themselves in order to become members. Of all the members in the groups, certain seniors are elected to hold the position of President, Vice President and Secretary. These seniors must be nominated and the nomination must then be seconded. The seniors chosen this year were as President, Tom Radwanski; as Vice President, Joseph Delaney and as Secretary, Maureen Flannery. The National Honor Society also performs various functions. The Society is divided into small groups that perform these functions. One group called the “pink slip” group is in charge of student activity sheets. These sheets are a transcript that tells of a student’s honors, sports and academic record. Another group is in charge of tutoring. This group aids others who are having difficulty in such subjects as math or French. One final group takes care of the induction ceremony. This group handles the reception, refreshments and prepares the actual ceremony. Belonging to this group, as the title says, is an honor. Mrs. Potthoff and the entire .National Honor Society should be commended for their work helping others. They should also be commended for their contribution to the good name of Saint Mary High School. MATH LEAGUE If n 1982 1982 n What is n? answer n 1-1982 This is just a sample of a question found on a Math League exam. Once a month the Math League must answer six questions like this. The tests they take are given in schools all over the state. After the tests have been taken, they are grad- ed by Mrs. Potthoff, the moderator. High scorers are usually Tom Labue or Tom Radwanski. In order to take this test a student must have Mrs. Potthoff s approval. This is so because of the difficulty of the problems. They involve several areas of math. The problems can involve everything from probability to aglebra. If you solved the above problem cor- rectly without looking up the answer, why not think about joining the Math League? Maybe you'll discover that you are another Einstein. 133 SCHOOL PLAY “ANYTHING GOES Jim There are many things to be done to produce the school play. No play could get off the ground without the involvement of many students from all grade levels. Students support the play financially in the ad drive, and there are students who support the play artisticly. The artistic category represents over one hundred students who act. sing, dance, build sets, make costumes, run lights, do make up. and play instruments. All of these talents combined contribute to the success of the show. The students are directed in their efforts by a staff that includes four faculty members and a former graduate of St. Mary’s. Mr. Coyle is the director. Mr. Phillips is the technical director. Mr. Ryan handles costumes. Mrs. Panigrosso takes care of the art and makeup crew; Mike Berger from the class of ’78 is the musical director. The work of these directors is augmented by student pianist Tom Labue and assistant to the director Ingrid Sveningsen. These teachers and students set the pace for all the performers to insure success. The play this year was “Anything Goes with music by Cole Porter and was another smash hit musical production from St. Mary's. LITERARY MAGAZINE Seated: Beth Ann Korshalla, Mrs. Bauer. Moderator; Florence O’Leary. Editor; Satyam Mallick. Standing: Joseph Delaney. Ann Cunn- ingham. Linda Clinton. Tyrrell Walsh. Mary Jean Johnson. Nina Petruso. One of the hardest working groups at Saint Mary’s is the Literary Magazine. This staff is responsible for publishing student’s poems and essays. The staff is expertly moderated by Mrs. Bauer. “Reflections,” the book’s title, states it’s purpose: it is a reflection of the student body’s thoughts and opinions. These thoughts can be in the form of a short story, an essay or a poem. Anyone can have something published in “Reflections” as long as it is written in good taste. Editor Flossie O’Leary has been one of the driving forces behind the Literary Magazine. She asks any freshman, sophomore, junior or senior, boys or girls, if they have any material they would like published. Then, when given the material, Flossie, Mrs. Bauer and the rest of the staff review the work to check for grammar and punctuation. When the material has been read, the hardest part comes. The poems or stories must be typed and the book put together. There are many special features found in the Literary Magazine. The first of these includes drawings done by Beth Korshalla. After Beth reads certain poems or stories, ideas come to her. She illustrates these ideas through the pictures placed through out the book. Another special feature is that of all the material, the three best pieces are selected. This is done by a special group of people selected by Mrs. Bauer. The authors of the “best” are given special attention on a page announcing their achievement. Their poems or stories also appear in the beginning of the magazine. One final feature of the magazine is its price. It is very inexpensive. For one dollar and fifty cents, this magazine can be purchased. The price is right! Finally, the magazine has everything from comic stories to romantic poems. It has something for everyone. The staff devote their time to give budding young authors their break. Who knows, maybe one day these young authors will become famous writers. Then they can say they became famous because of Saint Mary’s Literary Magazine. MISSION CLUB In the St. Mary’s community there are certain groups or clubs which try to help other organizations. One such club is the Mission Club. The Mission Club is newly formed this year. The club has raised money to help Mrs. Behl and the Society for the Propagation of Faith. Some ways the Mission Club has raised money is through candy drive’s, a candy guessing contest, Chinese auction and other small projects like collecting money from students for the missions. The Mission Club is a welcomed addition to the activity curriculum. Top: Mary Ann Reis. Miss Csurback. Moderator; MaryAnn Sullivan. Middle: Kathy Hurley. Laurie Ann Elko. Debbie Kelton.

This short span in our lives is a time when we have a combination of the best of two worlds, the simple, caring, innocent world of childhood, and the more complex, challenging and fulfilling world of adulthood. As graduating seniors we will look back on these years with fond memories. This was a time we can never relive again. It was singular, made special by the friends and teachers who helped us on our way. We can only hope we will meet more people in the future, who are like these from whom we are parting with. As Freshmen, Sophomores and Juniors, however, we can actively participate with our class. By supporting each other we can make the years we spend in high school even more special than they already are. Then, as our lives go on, we will find that these are truly “the best years of our lives.” F a r e w e 1 1 137 Phone 251-2554 Open 7 days — 11 to 11 Sunday 2 to 11 Call and Pick Up — 15 Minutes Shop Rite Shopping Center Summerhill Rd. and Old Stage Rd.
