St Marys High School - Sceptre Yearbook (South Amboy, NJ)

Text from Pages 1 - 168 of the 1984 volume:

•vV'1 %,i V - 'S- ■ 1 i ... 'Ur 'i ■ S' • i- L I :v v —; ' V’ i Our high school years may be considered as one flight of stairs along the great stair- case of life. They are neither the first nor the last flight that we must ascend in our progression toward the realization of our potential. Somehow, as we look back upon our climb, it seems much shorter than it did when we were at the bottom of the flight — taking our first faltering steps as freshmen. The slope seemed ex- tremely steep then, but we eventually adjusted to the grade-making new friends, learning the rotating schedule, experiencing freshmen retreat, attending our first high school dance . . . After a while, the climb seemed rather routine and sometimes even repetitious — more retreats, dances, homework, responsibilities. Sometimes we became lazy and forgot to keep climbing. Then we had to make up for the lost ground very quickly; at such times we were introduced to late night cramming sessions and homeroom reports and essays. Occasionally, immaturity hindered our progress and we were spurred to new heights by scoldings, groundings, disciplinary points, or deficiency notices. Arguments and disagreements with our friends also slowed us down, but we always managed to work things out. Parents, teachers, and guidance counselors advised us about proper climbing techniques and form. Often we ignored them and did things on our own only to later realize that they had conquered these stairs before. The hard times taught us that we must mount our steps one at a time if we want to avoid a fall. Mew faces — including teachers, classmates, younger students, principals, and vice-principals helped to break up the monotony of our ascent. We became ex- perienced hikers pacing ourselves until the final bell on Friday and getting our wind back on the weekends and vacations — all the while, growing and learning more about the subject of life. We can’t physically retrace our steps, but our memories can never be taken from us. As we move along the paths we've chosen for ourselves in life, may this yearbook always serve as a joyful and comforting reminder of the special times and special people that made our ascent through St. Mary High School so worthwhile.

D e d • i c a t • i o n It has often been said that our high- school years are the best times of our lives: hundreds of fond memories to look back upon. After four years here at St. Mary’s, we have learned that this is not always true. Indeed, there are times of joy and happiness, when we are surrounded by friends and it seems that nothing can go wrong. And yet, we know that life's downs” are as sure to occur as its ups. It is inevitable that on some days the sunlight will be obscured by dark clouds. It is during these dark times that we need a true friend; someone who really cares. An ancient proverb says that when hard times come, one learns who one’s real friends are. We have found this to be true, and one man ex- emplifies this for us. This man has showed us that he cares. We know him as our teacher, our coach, and more importantly, as our friend. He has shown us how to live through the bad times and how to enjoy the good times. When we needed con- gratulations, when we needed someone to talk to, when we simply needed a few words of encouragement, he was there. And so we, the class of 1984, dedicate this yearbook to you, John Morvay, because you showed us what a true friend really is: someone who is with us in times of sorrow as well as in times of joy.

M Gifted and Talented Committee Advisor German Honor Society Delta Epsilon Phi — Advisor Dear Students: The main purpose of St. Mary High School is to help each one of you to grow in the wisdom and grace of Christ. If Christ is not a vital part of your life, you cannot call yourself a Christian. Christs message to all was very simple, after your love for God you must love yourself. You can- not love others if you are not happy and content with yourself. Jesus tells us to love our neighbor as ourselves. God has given each one of you wonderful gifts, be it intelligence, beauty, personality, etc. Use your gifts wisely, enjoy them to the fullest; doing this you will find peace and contentment. To the seniors who will be leaving us at the end of the year, I ask God's blessings on you one and all. You have many fond memories of your years at St. Mary’s. This book will help keep your memories alive. Do not forget us, as we will not forget you. Go forth and bring Christ to a world starving for His love. Be Christ to all you meet.

Johnson Mary-Jean Frances Rose Johnson Step by Step It has been said that life is just a series of peaks and valleys, ups and downs. If so, most would generally agree that the “ups” outweigh the ‘downs” in the long run. We are about to reach a major plateau in our climb to the top. Our high school days will soon be over, and we will have to move on to other frontiers. And yet, throughout our lives, we will always be able to look back upon these times as the truly better days of our lives. We can always cherish the ups and downs of our days here at St. Mary's. We can remember. . . The times when we sat squirming in our seats, waiting for the 2:18 bell . . . The sighs of relief we breathed after finishing our homework, two minutes before homeroom ended . . . Laughing with friends in the hallways between classes . . . Getting ready all week for the Friday night dance . . . The joy of passing the big exam . . . Taking notes furiously and trying to remember everything Facing the impossible task of going from a bottom-floor class, to a locker on the middle-floor, to a top-floor class in four minutes. . . Driving to school and trying desperately to find a parking space... Screaming at school assemblies . . . Staying up all night to type a term paper. . . Relaxing with a favorite magazine in the library during lunch Looking forward to the big Christmas vacation . . . Wondering how the holidays could end so soon . . . That dreadful feeling on the Monday of exam week . . . The utter contentment when the last exam is over. . . Coming back from gym class soaking wet. . . Trying to hide the broken equipment in the chemistry lab . . . Stocking up on goodies” before the class trip . . . Trying to beat the high cost of cafeteria food . . . Dividing homework assignments four ways with your friends Sitting in the library during lunch period to kill time . . . Long, dreary trips home from a losing game on the AD van Wondering how to finish the 200 page reading assignment by the next morning . . .

Sophomore Year like Sophomore During sophomore year, our friendships flourished and our experiences broadened. We also encountered some of the most special people ever to touch our lives. We went through many personal changes;-many of us began to grow up.

However, I don't think it would violate any commandments if we say it was a financial smash and a load of fun for all. P.S. Anyone finding a lost retainer please return it to the owner. Then there was Senior Retreat. WhaL happened to us on Senior Retreat? Before the retreat, we had ;some wild ideas about what we could get away with this year, because last year seemed to be a time for great fun and games, and everything was taken on a less-than-serious note. Many of us expected senior retreat to be a carry-over of last year’s hi-jinx. But that’s not how it turned out — huh? There was some fun, in fact, lots of it, but it wasn’t supposed to We all took this retreat seriously and it wasn't because of what our chaperones did or didn’t do. It was 5 us; we made it different from last year, maybe because we are more mature. We had some deep discus- sions in our quest for understanding ourselves and others. And we grew to a new understanding of many things, especially our parents. It was a time we will never forget, because we had a chance to show each other just how much we really love each other, and just how much unity there is among us. If we had only a year to live, the time from the end of junior year until the parting moments of June would fill our life with enough laughs and treats to satisfy even the hffdiest of souls. “The fcribe recorded the words of the prophet, words that would be preserved for an eternity by the im- moWal guardians, a collection of verses to guide the righteous across M the eons” r •v • “Not for billions of years, by earth measure, would the words of the par- ticular verses be now recorded app- ly, but when the time came, they would certainly prove to have the meaning: “YOG WILL RECEIVE YOGR SUM- MONS IN THE MAIL” As he recorded these particular verses a small shudder rattled time around the scribe . . . Who could forget the night of September 16th?” By Monday morning every mother and disciplinarian shunned us. “But mom, we were only playing soccer.” Ha! Ha! About 20 lucky ones got little slips of paper in the mail asking for a date on October 20th at 9:00 a.m. Three people didn’t even realize what was happening as about 120 fled for their lives; isn’t that the number of seniors in the school? Let’s move on ... On a lighter note the school had its first assembly in awhile. “The Battle of the Sexes” — great wasn’t it? Wadda you mean no? Oh well, who won anyway? Who cares? At least everyone kept a shirt on. Almost forgot our other assembly . . .. Remember the “St. Mary's Hot Six? Didn’t think so. We did anyway, and we’re doing the writing, so Repsha, congratulations, you play a mean clarinet. Well, now we’ve reached a tough part of the history — the future. So this is the Do-it-yourself part. . . A. Did we have a football game? Yes No D i d we win again? Yes No B. Did we have a car rally? Yes No Which Mean Machine won? C.

There was plenty of food, drink, and great music as the school year was opened by its first major social event. There was a wide variety of music played by the disc jockey, including some rip-roaring heavy metal, drum pounding rock and roll, flashy disco, and slow heart-wrenching ballads. The predominant attitude was one of ex- treme excitement. It seemed that everyone was out on the dance floor, jumping up and down and having a good time. There were several en- thusiastic anti-Hoffman cheers and rounds of applause for St. Mary’s itself. It was truly an amazing display of school spirit. The high point of the dance, however, came when the crowd unanimously chose Quiet Riot’s “Cum on Feel the Noise’’ as the official St. Mary’s school anthem. The crowd of frenzied dancers was singing along so enthusiastically that they almost drowned out two huge speakers positioned at the front of the cafeteria. The dance also served the function of St. Mary’s Fall Fashion Show; who could forget all the girls in their plastic, leather, or silk pants? Or the boys with piano ties and sleeveless velour shirts? Or the wide array of hats and sunglasses? The Fall Dance, occurring for the third year in a row, is rapidly becoming an honored tradition here at St. Mary’s. Battle of the Sexes Rages On One of our first major activities of the school year was the battle of the sexes. Sponsored by the freshman class, it was a competition between selected guys and girls from each class. This activity began with the introduc- tion of the teams. Each team ran around the gym trying to gain support. As the games began, everyone thought for sure it would be an easy vic- tory for the boys. Yet as the afternoon wore on the girls began to catch up. Both teams fought hard through games like the balloon pass and musical chairs. “The final game,’’ Gncle Billy said, “had everyone cheering but soon it was all over.” At the end of the games, the scoreboard showed that the boys had won. However, like most other athletic competitions, this one had its protests. The girls are still wondering if the judges were wrong. Many still argue that it is easier to put on a skirt than it is to put on pants. Although this question will prey on our minds until next year, everyone had a good time. 106 Michael Brennan learns what it means to be a ten. This year, St. Mary's decided to put together a group called SADD. It stands for Students Against Drinking and Driv- ing. It involved upperclassmen being trained to counsel the underclassmen as well as their own classmates. This program was started when a drug and alcohol educator named Jeff Thaxton came to speak at the school. After being introduced by senior Ed Heyburn, Mr. Thaxton began his unique presentation. Mr. Thaxton started his talk with a series of jokes to wake us up and get our attention. He then told us about his experiences with people who had used or been affected by drugs and alcohol. Using great detail, he stressed how drugs and alcohol affect people, what happens when drunks drive, and what it is like trying to break the addiction. However. Mr. Thaxton did not stop there. He told us to feel good about ourselves. Finally, he did one more thing that made his presentation unique. He told us that it was our deci- sion whether or not to use drugs or alcohol. He simply provided us with evidence of its effects and allowed us to make our own decision. 107 Ed Heyburn and Jeff Thaxton discuss a fool and a wise person. Ring Day: Another Step in Life Junior Senate shows the unity of the class of '85. When a class reaches its Junior year at St. Mary's, they traditionally receive their class rings. Each year, one day is set aside on which the juniors are presented with their rings. This year’s Ring Day was held on Oc- tober 21. It began with a special mass celebrated by Monsignor Gerety, Father Simon, and Father McKnight. Here the rings were blessed and prayers were said for the junior class. Everything went well and Mr. Tice pointed out, It was well done, the folk group sang well and the students participated. Once the mass was over, everyone proceeded to the Little Theatre for the ring ceremony. The juniors heard guest speaker Father Vaughn speak on closeness and friendship. Next the class got a glimpse of themselves throughout their years at St. Mary’s in a slideshow. Finally, it was time to receive their rings from Sr. Margaret. After receiving their rings, the juniors were treated to a luncheon prepared by Mr. Ryan and the sophomore senate. Here the juniors wished luck to their classmates by turning each other’s rings. This affectionate gesture is a perfect example of how much these class rings mean to the juniors. John Kulthau referred to his ring as another step in life. Ted Douglas summed up the meaning of the class ring when he said, With my ring I’ll be able to look back and remember the good times I had at St. Mary’s. Rings wait to be received by the class of '85. 108 Al Pinho receives congratulations from Sr. Margaret. Senates Work Overtime Every year each class level chooses the students who will represent them for the next year. These students, work- ing with the faculty moderator plan ac- tivities for their class and for the whole school. They also plan ways to raise money for the class. These dedicated students often put in long hours after school and during vaca- tions. Despite the strain, most often run for re-election. Freshman Senate: Advisor Mr. John Gloss. Tom White, Kevin Byrne. Monet Burns. Debbie Vellan- ti, Collen Guikotf, and Lorraine Dey. Sophomore Senate: Advisor Mr. Bill Ryan. Tom San Filippo, Dave Kennedy. Jamie Diem, A. J. Boehler, Bob Waltz, and Tracy Tripona. Junior Senate: Advisor Mr. Tice. Joe Byrne. Jim Vellanti, Sean Curtis. Kim Quirk, Randy Wilson, and Jennifer Coe. 109 Reaching Out a Helping Hand Library Aide: An Important Job The Mission Club, although a relative- ly small group, has done a good deal of work here in St. Mary's. Throughout the year, it holds raffles, collections, and candy sales to raise money for those in need. Their annual event, selling candy during exams, not only helps raise money for the unfortunate, but it also helps the students survive the gruelling experience of taking exams. Mission Club: Mary Gillard, Laurie Elko, Debbie Kelton, Theresa O'Meara, Nan- cy Morgan, Miss Csurbak, Moderator. Not Pictured: Mary Ann Sullivan. The role of a Library Aide is to main- tain order in the library. However, not just anyone can volunteer as a Library Aide. Only Saint Mary's finest and most qualified students are capable of assisting in the job of checking out books and straightening the shelves. At the beginning of every year the library is flooded with upperclassmen eager to serve their time behind the cir- culating desk. As we’re all aware the role of library aide is inexpendible. So the next time you walk into the library, don't forget to treat the assistants with the utmost respect — remember they are doing a job for you! Math League Still Computating The members of the Math League are seniors with above average mathematic ability. During the year, they take several tests and the five highest scores on each test are compared with those of other students in the state. There is no real award in this competition, yet the students get the satisfaciton of having done their best and having done better than some other schools. They volunteer for this competition because they excel in math and enjoy it. Math League Christine Brown. Ellen Patterson. Maureen Swier. Ann Cunningham. Don Me Caughey. Capt ; Allison Carew.

Formed last year, it pro- vides Spanish students with a chance to meet as a group other than as a class. The club members meet after school to improve their Spanish accents and to practice writing in Spanish. They spend part of their meetings conversing and then they practice writing in their Spanish workbooks. The Spanish Club is moderated by Sister Nathanael. Sister has been at this school for many years. She currently teaches Spanish I and, thanks to Sister’s time and help, these Spanish students enjoy themselves, while they learn. Let's hope this club’s member- ship grows. Front Row: Dawn Davidson, Cindy Hicks. Mary Ann Sullivan. Jean O Toole Second Row Jackie Elkins. Kelly Salkoskas. Lisa Harrigan. Linda Bravo. Dawn Hornik.

An impor- tant part of these masses and prayer services is the Folk Group. Each year singers and instrumen- talists volunteer to work on music for these functions. This year, with Father Simon as the new moderator, the Folk Group has again fulfilled its responsibili- ty to the school community. The Folk Group hopes that, with Father Simon’s aid, it will be able to add many new songs in the masses and thus improve religious life at St. Mary's. Front: Dave Kelton. Sandy Santiago. Sue Jackson.

The team members must use their intelligence and imagination to solve one of these four complicated problems. The second phase consists of the dreaded spon- taneous problem. Teams are given a limited amount of time to give as many imaginative answers, in turn, to a ques- tion as possible. Judges score them on uniqueness of the answers. Winning in each level of competition can lead to competing in the world com- petition. The two five-person teams this year hope to do their best and compete in as many levels as possible. 1 Front: Teri O'Brien, Sophie Milkowski, Anne Marie Orlowski, Josephine ladevaia, Kevin Quinn.

These students, recognized for their outstanding abilities, are chosen to participate in this program. For some it involves working independently on a special project of their choice, and for others it involves participating in the Middlesex County Arts High School. The work these students do in this program is added to their regular schoolwork. Participation in the Gifted and Talented Program takes a great deal of work, but these special students have adapted to it and have benefited from it. 1st Row: Josephine ladevaia, Tom San Filippo, Robert Waltz, Dave LaBue. 2nd Row: Karen Waltz, Eleanor Wykpisz, Ellen Patterson. 3rd Row: Jeanne Radwanski, John Radwanski. Academic Quiz Bowl Strives to Win The Academic Quiz Bowl consists of a team of students who compete with teams from other schools in answering trivia questions. Two teams compete against each other at each meet. First there is a toss-up question; the first team to answer correctly gets points and a chance at other questions. The team gets more points if it answers the second question. Then there is another toss-up question which either team may answer. The team with the most points at the end of the meet wins. This year's team has high hopes. They will pay off with more wins than ever before. Left to Right: Dave LaBue. Sophie Milkowski. Kevin Quinn. John Radwanski. Robert Waltz. Ken Benson.

The magazine has been a format for students to show their writing ability and a chance for them to express their feelings and opi- nions. Thus, the magazine was given the name Reflections . Everyone is allowed to submit their work, whether it be in the form of a poem, a short story, or an essay. For the past few years Mrs. Laverne Bauer has been the moderator and the guiding hand. Mrs. Bauer reads all work submitted. She and her staff must check each piece for mistakes in grammar and punctuation. Then Mrs. Bauer and a small group have the difficult job of picking the three works that they consider to be the best. These three works are noted to show the authors' accomplishments. The staff works during the school year until the final copy is done. It is then sold in the school. The Literary Magazine is always a product the school can be proud of. 115 Christmas Ball Sophomore class moderator Bill Ryan gives Kim Quirk a big hug. Especially Junior John Radwanski and his date Veronica Wykpisz. The Christmas Ball was held at the Dorian Manor in Old Bridge. Like most dances, it started slowly; but throughout the evening, people loosen- ed up as they danced to the sounds of Split Image. The festive atmosphere gave everyone the Christmas spirit. The dance was a memorable experience and a great way to begin the Christmas season: together. Everyone enjoying the Christmas Spirit.. . Senior Faculty Volleyball Game This year’s Senior-Faculty Volleyball Games were full of excitement. The senior team was divided into two groups: one to play in each game. Substitutes were sent in often which kept fresh energy on the court. The faculty, with fewer players, could not substitute as often and sometimes started to show signs of fatigue. The game was full of thrilling spikes, dives, and overwhelming serves. For a few moments in the first game the seniors dominated, but otherwise they were constantly in competition for the lead. The afternoon ended in a 1-1 tie, not satisfying the senior’s desire to prove that they were the better team nor the faculty's desire to prove their volleyball supremacy. Keeping Active ... 118 . . .and just standing around . . Despite its struggle through an injury-plagued season, the Girl’s Cross- Country Team produced an amazing ten wins and one loss record. Since the sport does not attract a large spectator following, the girls must generate the enthusiasm which they have upheld for the past three years. Contributing much of the team support were sophomores Lisa Harrigan and hoelle Jimenez, two injured members who were unable to run for most of the season. Leading the Lady Eagles to their numerous victories were seniors Jeanne Radwanski and Allison Carew and junior Janice Reilly with freshman Trish Radwanski and sophomore Eilleen Murphy at their heels. Offering determined efforts were senior Ellen Patterson, sophomore Karen Scupp and Jill Carew, and freshmen Jeanne Bayers, Chris Goerke and Diane Crumlish. All runners honed their racing skills under the dedicated guidance of Coach Ed Fitzgerald who demands one hundred percent output from his team. The girl's team captured first place in the Central Valley Conference Meet. For the second time in school history, the girls qualified to participate in the State Meet of Champions after seizing second place honors in the Parochial B Division of New Jersey. Hopefully, the Eagles' runners will continue to nurture the win- ning tradition that cross-country has established at St. Mary's. Run Like the Wind ... Post-Race recovery — Chris Goerk.

The season was highlighted by two victories over Hoffman, a first time defeat of South River, and a second place finish in the Central Valley Con ference Meet. The Eagles also fared well in the Middlesex Country and Parochial B State Championships, upsetting a number of larger schools. The seven-man varsity squad con- sisted of junior Randy Wilson, senior John Bayers, senior Luis Armas, senior Tim Mayers, sophomore Dave Ken- nedy, freshman Kevin Byrne, and senior Jim Byrne. The other runners on the team should not be ignored, however, because they often aided victory by displacing opposing runners. Third year coach Ed Fitzgerald was pleased with the team’s improvement, and also by the increase in team spirit, which reached its peak during a close win over crosstown rival Hoffman High. Also gratifying to the coach was the fact that six runners from the team were named to the All-Conference Team. These runners were: Randy Wilson, John Bayers, and Luis Armas (First Team), Tim Mayers, Dave Ken- nedy. and Jim Byrne (Second Team). Randy Wilson and Luis Armas were also awarded Honorable Mention in Mid- dlesex County. A hair-raising race — Tim Mayers. Dave Kennedy. Jim Crossnohere. The Boy’s Varsity Soccer Team entered the 1983 season with a difficult task ahead of them. Cinder the guidance of new coach, David Duh, the team had to fill eight positions vacated by last year’s graduating class. Returning senior starters, Pat Slattery and Tom Repsha, performed well at halfback and were aided by senior Jim Reynolds. The defensive line remained strong due to the efforts of seniors Jerry Doherty, Mark Daszkiewicz, and Pat Flanagan. Another senior, Pete Slanina, returned for his third varsity season to display his excellent goalkeeping skills. Much of the team’s rebuilding oc- curred within the offensive line. Two returning forwards, senior Tom Keevins and junior Jim Valente, carried the line through the early part of the season while seniors Rich Santangelo and Mike Talian helped to stabilize the offense. Many talented underclassmen con- tributed to the team’s development, as well. These include sophomore winger Ken Mayers, junior defensiveman Dave La Bue, and sophomore defensiveman Steve Santangelo. Through many hours of hard work and dedication, the team qualified to meet a tough Mater Dei squad in the State Parochial B South semifinal game. The Eagles’ many loyal fans were led by Terri Nelan, the Team's third year scorekeeper. She will be missed next year, along with the rest of the departing seniors, but the underclassmen appear to be capable of replacing them. Dazzling Feet...

Many boys participated on the team and showed that JV sports are a good training ground for future Varsity play. Coach (Jrbanski was pleased with the progress the team made in its short season. Freshmen Tom White and Jim Mackulin were the key offensive players for the team. Many second year players such as John Nemeth and Steve Duchlinski, shared their ex- periences with the new members and provided leadership. The defensive line played consistent- ly well and proved to be the backbone of the team. Ed Flanagan, and Shawn Scranton were aggressive players who remained strong throughout the season. Another player, freshman Nick Farrero, made great progress as a goalie and never became discouraged. This year’s JV players got a taste of what high school soccer is really like and learned what will be expected of them in the coming years. Many of these players will be moving up to the Varsity squad next year to replace the departing seniors. Their experiences on the JV will definitely be beneficial to them in their future soccer play.

This season the Girl’s Soccer Team achieved the best record in the history of this sport at St. Mary’s. They showed great improvement over previous years and the outlook for the future is excellent. Building up the team’s spirit and ex- hibiting leadership was the captain of the team, Kathy Hartney. Kathy, the on- ly senior on the team, inspired everyone with her enthusiasm and determination. Sophomore Chris Cartwright was another catalyst in the team’s amazing development. Playing the demanding position of center halfback, Chris displayed a great knowledge of the game and always came through for the team. Leading the offensive attack were forwards Tisha Loftus, Rosie Murphy, and Laura Radwanski. Tisha, a freshman, was the team’s highest scorer and is definitely a player to watch in the future. Tisha was com- plemented by sophomores Rosie and Laura, who both played tough in every situation. Rosie was especially noted for her persistency which had a positive ef- fect upon the whole team Running the defense were fullback Michele Zaleski and goalie Teri O’Brien. Both girls are in their third year with the team and have shown much improvement. In the net, Teri made many difficult saves and displayed the hustle which personifies the entire team. First year players Deb bie Kelton and Debbie Vellanti also con- tributed to a solid defense. Coach Kathy Turk raised the team’s self-confidence with her constant en- couragement. She was very proud of the team's efforts and looks forward to a bright future for girls’ soccer at St. Mary's. ■ Steppin' Out “Smile” — Veronica Wykpisz, Karen Charmello, Laura Radwanski.

As first year coach Lori Feldman said, “It was tough bringing people to positions who had never played them before. They didn't have enough playing experience, but we hung in there.” Composed solely of underclassmen the team not only “hung in there but qualified for the state tournament with a season record of 10 wins and 8 losses. The team was Jed by junior Maureen Fallon who won 18 matches while drop- ping only 4 in tough first singles com- petition. In her first season as a starter junior Beth Sharkey performed ad- mirably at second singles and earned a berth on the All-Conference team. Rounding out the team at third singles was yet another junior, Lynn Kilcooley, who had shown dramatic improvement in her game. Since it is essential to find the right combination when playing doubles, these pairings underwent a great deal of shifting during the season. Junior Kim Bartkowicz and sophomore Linda Bravo saw a lot of playing time at first doubles while sophomores Theresa O'Meara and Jeanne O'Toole often teamed up at second doubles. Mo matter how tough their matches became, both doubles teams displayed cooperation and deter- mination. They were definitely a credit to the entire team. Team spirit was maintained by Jen- nifer Coe, Michelle Comunale, and Tara Zdzienicki. These girls faithfully sup- ported their teammates and showed their competitiveness when called upon to play doubles. They developed their skills by playing in exhibition matches which provided them with important ex- periences for next year. This year, the Eagles captured second place in the Central Valley Conference. With all their players returning next season, they anticipate an even stronger finish. Coach: Lori Feldman. Val Coe.

I'll Tumble 4 Ya The 1983 Girls' Gymnastics Team began its season with both a new coach and some new team members. Miss Karen Rossetti dedicated much of her time in an untiring effort to combine nine girls into a working team. Each girl was required to have at least one routine that ran one minute and thirty seconds in length. The girls participated in four events; vault, bars, beam, and floor. The routines helped the girls to show their creativity and poise in a variety of moves and degrees of difficulty. The 1983 season had many distress- ing as well as rewarding times. One distressing event in particular occurred on the evening of the Fall Dance, when the girls had a meet at a distant school and lost the keys to the van in the pro- cess of putting away their equipment. Junior Peggy D’Onofrio and sophomore Bernadette Wykpisz eventually found the keys and all team members made it to the dance, late, but in good spirits. The individual achievements of each girl were very encouraging. By the end of the season, junior Mary Beth Babecki had scored several 7.0’s on floor while junior Kim Quirk scored successive 6.5’s on vault, both impressive feats. Sophomores Beth Maken and Lisa Kelly provided strong scoring on beam and bars, respectively, helping the team along. Their classmate Bernadette Wykpisz displayed great versatility by competing in a variety of events. Beth Vollman, a junior, whose grace and style on floor exercise earned high scores, also gave unfailing encourage- ment to her teammates. The newer team members con- tributed a great deal, as well, with freshman Michelle Salinas scoring high on bars, which is an extremely difficult event to master. Veronica Doherty, also a freshman, showed great ingenuity by putting together an entire balance beam routine just before a meet, after one of the other girls was injured. Regina Malloy, a junior, broke her ankle and was unable to compete. Her talents were sorely missed by the team. Despite a difficult schedule, the Gym- nastics Team displayed great personal growth and team unity. Manager Lisa Zdzienicki, in her fourth year with the team, was very enthusiastic in her sup- port. With all competing team members returning, the Gymnastics Team will un- doubtedly be a force to reckon with in the future.

The Boys Varsity Basketball team finished it’s schedule this year with it's best record in four seasons. It included a second place finish in the Central Valley Conference and a berth in both the county and state tournaments. One of the highlights of the season was a trip to the Meadowlands Arena in January, where the team defeated Sayreville 60 to 41. Seniors Jim Byrne and Jeff Pacansky led the Eagles offense with their strong shooting abilities. Junior Randy Wilson, a lightning-quick point guard, proved to be an essential team member through his fine ball handling and skilled play. Juniors Bill O’Leary and Joe Byrne were also in- strumental in the team’s success. Seniors Mike Caldon, Randy Golenbieski, Kevin Morano, and Steve Martin who were team- mates as freshmen, made many contribu tions this year and their strong perfor- mances are a credit to the basketball pro- gram at St. Mary’s. Juniors Jim Vellanti and Bob Bialoblocki, and sophomores Bob Waltz and Dave Kennedy, also saw some playing time and showed definite potential for the future. Captains: Jeff Pacansky, Jim Byrne.

Boys Basketball Team put together a fine season through hustle, aggressiveness, and sheer determina- tion. The team employed a converging press and tenacious defense, both of which were very effective in disrupting the offensive game of their opponents. Sophomore Matt Blaha, a fleet-footed scoring guard, led the J.V.’s offensive corps. Junior Dave Skarzynski con- tributed the leadership and experience which are essential for a successful team. Sophomores Sean McCarthy and John Hensberger were also instrumen- tal in the team’s success, the former for his long-range shooting, the latter for his hustle and smart play. Sophomore super-sub Rich Fleming proved to be an adept passer and piled up numerous assists. The team also relied upon the skills of four talented Varsity players, sophomores Bob Waltz and Dave Ken- nedy and juniors, Jim Vellanti and Bob Bialoblocki. The future of the Eagles’ Varsity Team shines brightly as these dedicated players prepare for the com- ing campaigns. Earnest Eagles Coach Joe's last minute words of wisdom. John Hensberger. Jim Vellanti. Matt Blaha, Sean McCarthy, Bob Waltz. Dave Kennedy, Bob Bialoblocki, Dave Skarzynski (Capt.). Rich Fleming, Coach Joe Lorello. Meadowlands Bound Think he'll put us in?” — Rich Fleming. John Hensberger. Pat Bowles. Coach Joe Lorello was an extremely busy man this basketball season. Besides leading the J.V. boys through an impressive season, he directed a very talented freshman squad to numerous victories, which earned them a third place seeding in the St. Peter’s Freshman Invitational Boys Basketball Tournament. Effectively employing a 1-3-1 defense and a variety of a full- court presses, the freshman team closed down the offensive game of many highly regarded opponents. For- ward Mike Dietrich was a very consis- tent contributor to the team's strong defense. On offense, guard-forwards Nikki Ferraro and Kevin Byrne were ma- jor scoring threats while center Bill Reil- ly was an imposing rebounder. Hustling point-guard Pat Bowls handled the ball very well and disrupted other teams with his excellent defensive play. Guards Jimmy Markulin and Glenn Mendoza and forward Timmy Sullivan were also important team contributors. All of these boys also participated at the J.V. level, thus gaining valuable ex- perience for the future. Boys' basketball at St. Mary's should definitely remain strong with the development of these talented young players. Tim Sullivan. Mike Dietrich. Bill Reilly. Nicki Ferraro. Pat Bowles. Kevin Byrne.

Second-year coach. Miss Bernice Hensberger has proven to be a very efficient organizer, and her efforts have definitely paid off. Both squads displayed a well-balanced combination of precision and enthusiasm in their routines, making them a pleasure to watch. Sharp new uniforms served to enhance the appeal of their dazzling smiles. Besides the usual game schedule, the Varsity cheerleaders participated in a cheerleading tournament, where they displayed their talents very effectively. The cheerleaders had perfected their routines through many hours of prac- tice, and this tournament provided them with an opportunity of receiving some well-deserved recognition. With many experienced cheerleaders return- ing next year, both squads should re- main strong. ... And Their Successors Kim Quirk, Lisa Rhoades, Jacqui Smith (capt.), Michelle Comunale, Tricia Murphy.

Blood, Sweat and Tears Wrestling is a team sport which is dependent on the outcome of twelve in- dividual matches. The two opposing teams match up according to specified weight classes, ranging from 101 lbs. to unlimited (over 185 lbs.). If a team does not have a wrestler for a certain class, or, if their wrestler is overweight, the team must forfeit that weight class. Mr. Frank Yusko and Phil Valdivia have returned for their second season as head coaches of St. Mary's Wrestling Team. This year's team consists of four returning veterans and eleven new members. The veterans, who are relied upon to power the team, are senior cap- tains Rich Santangelo and Mark Daskiewicz and sophomores Steve San- tangelo and Mike McDonald. Of the eleven promising rookies on the team, three have displayed excep- tional ability. They are sophomores Ray Drill and Scott Thurston and freshman Ted Patterson. The efforts of these new recruits have been complemented by those of a strong supporting cast of grappfers, producing very encouraging results for wrestling at St. Mary's. “It isn't easy staying on top. — Ray Drill Mr. Frank Yusko (Coach).

Despite some untimely illnesses and injuries, the team was able to overcome the rigors of a tough schedule and qualify for both the county and state tournaments. Each grade level was well represented on the team, and all of the girls worked together to achieve success. Rebounding and inside scoring responsibilities were handled by the forwards, senior Mary Jean Sibilia and junior Marlene Wisniewski. Mary Jean completed a very pro- ductive high school career by scoring her 1,000th point in a game against North Brunswick. Good outside shooting and adept passing was provided by the wing guards, Senior Karen Waltz, junior Eleanor Wykpisz, and sophomore Jill Carew. Eleanor also helped out on the rebounding boards while Karen displayed excellent ball-handling abilities in pushing the ball up the court. Defensive specialist, senior Jeanne Radwan- ski, was a poised point guard who hustled in every situation. Coming off the bench, junior Karen Charmello, contributed some key baskets while freshmen June O'Leary and Trish Radwanski and sophomore Debbie Kelton improved a great deal. Late additions to the team, sophomore Karen Scupp and freshman Trisha Loftus, also worked very hard. Coach Miss Lori Fledman was pleased with her team’s efforts this year and was very encouraged by the development of the underclassmen players. She anticipates con- tinued success for the team. Any suggestions? Miss Laurie Feldman (Coach), Eleanor Wykpisz. Marlene Wisniewski. Mary Jean Sibilia (Capt.), Debbie Kelton, Karen Charmello, Lisa Zdzienicki, Jill Carew, Karen Waltz (Capt.), Jeanne Radwanski (Capt.), Karen Scupp, Tricia Radwanski. This year s Girls’ JV Basketball Team was composed mainly of girls with no high school playing experience. In tact, the only two returning players were junior Karen Charmello and sophomore Karen Scupp, two guards who were also members of the Varsity squad. Therefore, the players had a lot to learn, and they proved to be very willing pupils. Two freshmen Varsity players, guard Trish Radwanski and forward June O’Leary contributed to the team s success with good scoring and strong defense. Their classmates, Trisha Lot- tus and Sandy Korkowski worked very hard this year and made great im- provements. Sophomore newcomers Bernadette Wykpisz and Kim Walker were welcome additions to the team. Sophomore Varsity member Debbie Kelton used her height to aid the team in both the rebounding and scoring departments. With such a strong crop of underclassmen, there definitely will be keen competition for Varsity spots next season. Top to Bottom: Michelle Boreas. Chery, Koster. June O Leary. Debbie Ke.ton.
