Reaching for Tomorrow As students of St. Mary, we are all in our own unique way striving for our own goals on the far horizon . . . Reaching for Tomorrow. The faculty of St. Mary makes the difference for our students — both inside and outside of the classroom to help us reach our goals. The teachers serve as examples for the entire student body. They are the people we turn to for advice and assistance in school and in our lives outside of the academic sphere. Through their dedication and love, the faculty aid our students along the road to their tomorrows. We learn by the teachers’ wisdom, and like them we try to be responsible, dynamic Christian adults. The students come together outside of class often to collectively make up the student life of St. Mary. From the dances to the retreats, all the activities are designed to promote a close “family” feeling among the students. The activities allow time for classes to have fun rather than to study together. By enjoying each other, we learn to nurture good relationships — we learn how to care. The varied student life at St. Mary exposes the student to many new and different social functions. Initially, a student may feel a little awkward, but the upperclassmen will usually step in and show the underclassmen “the ropes.” Both groups benefit from this experi- ence; both groups are special and needed, the Freshmen and Seniors are both necessary to the school — as well as the Sopho- mores and Juniors. Everyone here belongs. Besides studying and recreating, the St. Mary student body plays hard together. The sports program of St. Mary allows the motivated student to “strut his stuff” on the court, field, or mat. Through athletics, we learn the fundamentals of good sportsman- ship and fair play. Most important of all, however, we learn to condition our bodies and our minds to deal with life in a mature, Christian manner. By pulling together to achieve a common goal, the athletes build strong, vibrant relationships. They help each other to become better people by sharing the trials and tribula- tions of each day on the team. The athletes not only learn to lose with dignity but also to win with grace. Through participation in sports, we complete our well-rounded growth along the way to the future. Senior year brings to a close a student's time at St. Mary. The Seniors are the leaders of the school; we set the tempo and the pulse of the life at St. Mary. Now, we are prepared to go out and succeed in the world. Through our mental, physical, spiritual, and social growth at St. Mary, we are ready to assume our roles in society. We have learned how to work hard, succeed in what we do, and to help others along the way. We have learned to be the best people that we can be in our own unique way. We have learned how to love and to share love selflessly and courageously with everyone now and with all who will cross our paths in the future. Most important of all, though, we learned of a man who died so that one day we might live. God willing, may we follow His example and share His power as we start for the distant horizon, arms outstretched — reaching for tomorrow. “For all that was ■ And never meant to be ... ” With love to the Class of 1986 Robert John Thomas Waltz 2 SCEPTRE 1986 Vol. 25 St. Mary’s High School South Amboy, New Jersey Sister Margaret Waldron, Principal “A Family Of Love” Our Leader!

Let us pray . . . “To God We Pray” Praying together becomes an integral part of our daily lives at St. Mary’s. Both men and women alike kneel down to thank God for all the blessings he has bestowed upon them. The gifts of love, spirit, grace and joy become part of our Christian heritage. The sorrow, anger, and difficult journey allows us as mature Christians to walk the road to Calvery with Christ. Our Christian spirit, thanks to our excellent religious training becomes interwo- ven with our lives for all our tomorrows. 4 A dedicated servant — Ray Drill. We light these candles for ...

The Sisters of Mercy began teaching elementary grades in 1885 at the request of Father Kelly. By 1900 Mother Margaret Mary, Principal, with three other Sisters, provided a three year academic program for 64 students. In 1918 the State of New Jersey approved the full four year high school program. Augmenting the present staff of 4 religious are many dedicated lay men and women who are helping to fulfill the dream of these early pioneers in the teaching profession. Built on many lives, many sacrifices, and many years, St. Mary High School continues its dedication to excellence in education and its service to youth. May God Bless you dear Sisters! “To have experienced and understood, in order to teach others to experience and understand, that all human enrichment is but dross except inasmuch as it becomes the most precious and uncorruptible of all things by adding itself to an immortal centre of love; such is the supreme knowledge and the ultimate lesson to be imparted by the Christian Educator.” Teilhard de Chardin Sister Mary Celeste (32 years at S.M.H.)

Goals in the Classroom Each time we begin a new school year we set goals which we hope to achieve in our classes. We strive to reach these goals by working and studying hard. In the end, we hope to gain success so that we may further pursue our dreams. The classroom scene is one of learning and sometimes fun. These pictures recall those moments we share today that we will remember for many tomorrows. Saint Mary’s, keep reaching for tomor- row. Just stretching Pont' mess with me!

We the students and faculty learn that only the strong survive and that to survive you have to have a solid background. At St. Mary’s, we have learned that we must take one day at a time even if sometines it might seem that the road ahead is going to be tough. But we have also realized that you can’t win all the time and that if you believe in yourself you will always be a winner. Our four years here at St. Mary’s High School have been very important ones to us. We have learned how to be a good sport and this sportsmanship will be with us through the rest of our lives. Here at St. Mary’s we have learned to carry out a winning tradition; to walk tall, run proud and fly like an eagle.

A binding between friends: A covenant sealed with love. Friendship is never jealous nor does it dwell in pride. Through loyalty does it flourish, In your soul does it reside. Friendship is the joy of sharing, laughter, fear, and sorrow. The memories of days gone by. And the dreams planned for tomorrow. Friendship lasts forever Even when friends must part For if memories are not forsaken Eternal its reign in your heart.

The Rockettes we're not! Many times during the routine of the day we find ourselves sharing special moments together. From the cafeteria to the greentop and from the first day of school to Senior Night it is these special moments that will be engraved in the memo- ries of the students of St. Mary’s. They will be a treasure for many years to come. As we proceed along our diverse paths reaching for to- morrow let us look back occasionally and remember with a smile those special moments together.

Hosted by Paul Mazzella, Sophomore Class President, the feud really brought the class together behind their “family”. The Freshman family played the Sopho- mores, while the Juniors played the Seniors. The final round pitted “Mother” Panigrosso and her Senior kids against “Mom” De- Prospo and her sophomores. Such impor- tant questions as the best color for clothing, a TV. Soap Opera and the name of the best rock group around tested the knowledge of the two groups. The Seniors finally pre- vailed-winning for the second year in a row. Seniors......“Faces on y a mother could love. 18 “Twomey ” VJe are two rude, crude, obnoxious dudes. The Winner: Randy Wilson The 10th annual St. Mary’s Ping Pong Tournament attracted 54 students and faculty this year. Mr. Twomey, founder of the tourna- ment, said, “I believe that this year’s participants provided for extremely exciting and enjoyable competition.” Fourth place went to Dave Skarzynski, who lost a tough match to Mr. Tice who captured third place. Beth Sharkey became the first girl to make it to the finals for second place. Randy Wilson played superbly to win his second consecutive championship. These four excellent players now have their names listed on the Ping Pong Banner in a display case in the school foyer. Beth Sharkey: “You’ve come a long way baby 19 Varsity Team Gives Their All Second year head coach Bill Urbanski with the help of assis- tant coach Mike Huchko, led their team to an 11 10-1 record. This above .500 record couldn’t have been achieved without the strong bats of the undestructible Blaha brothers: Joe Blaha, earned the teams M.V.P. by completing the sea- son with a .515 batting aver- age. Matt, following in his brothers footsteps had an ex- cellent season and earned the coaches award for his fine ef- forts. Senior Bill O’Leary hit the long ball for the Eagles by hitting three home runs. The Eagles finished third in the Central Valley Conference and even with the loss of some fine ball players due to gradua- tion, St. Mary’s can look to some exciting seasons to come with many promising under- classmen.

The girls final record was 18-6 which was good enough to insure a tie for first place in the Central Valley Conference with crosstown rival Hoffman. The team also competed in the McCorriston Tournament where they scored two exciting victories over home- team McCorriston and Holy Cross to earn first place. The senior-dominated team was led by captain Eleanor Wykpisz who caught every game for the Eagles. Eleanor, an All-Confer- ence, All County catcher was only one se- nior of many who set a fine example for their underclass teammates. Although many seniors will be lost to graduation the Eagles hope to have another successful season next year with the return of the pitcher Lisa Harrigan. Jill Carew, who was injured in the fifth game of the season, gave her moral support from the bench during each game. She will also be returning to fill the gap at shortstop next year. By following the fine example set by this years seniors the girls softball team hopes to carry on this fine tradition. Top Row: Coach Mr. Russo.

While everyone waited in anticipation for their awards, the roast beef dinner was served. As the night progressed, each athlete was given an award in accordance to the sport they par- ticipated in. Specific athletes were recognized for their outstanding performance and sports- manship throughout the year. Two examples are Randy Wilson and Eleanor Wypkisz who both received the scholar athlete award, along with many other honors. Once again Mr. Tom Tice presented his slide show displaying vari- ous coaches and athletes both on and off the fields. A special award was given out this year in remembrance of Anthony DiMarizio. Ted Douglas was awarded this honor for demon- strating great spirit throughout the soccer sea- son. The sports banquet brought to a close a very successful year of sporting competition.

When it all comes together, the feeling is nothing less than magic. It was these things and these wonderful people which brought the magic to St. Mary High Schools 1985 production of “Once Upon A Mattress,” and all deserve heartfelt thanks. Adele Mongioi, Joan Hartkern, Shelly De- laney and Tom Phillips stuck with the company for weeks, giving of their patience and time, showing each of us we did have something worthwhile to share with the audience. Without them, we would be nowhere thanks to them, we can also recite “how now brown cow with feel- ing, and the word “please” has become a major part of our vocabulary. We will miss you all, even the circle exercise. The Cast “Once Upon A Mattress “Larry, Moe, and Curley Bill O'Leary. Josephine ladevia.

The Ceremony is the culmination of the Senior Marriage Course — a simulated marriage prepara- tion assignment that prepares students for the practi- cal and not so practical aspects of engagement and marriage. Taught this year by Mrs. Tighe and Mr. Tice, the course covered everything from engage- ment ring pricing to choosing a compatible life part- ner. The course concludes with a simulated marriage ceremony and the exchange of vows between all participating couples. This year the Seniors arrived at the Little Theatre which had been beautifully pre- pared by Mrs. Tighe for their occasion and the ex- change of vows before Mr. Tice. Afterward a typical reception was held for the class in the Cafeteria with all the traditional arrangements including a Buffet lunch, music by Howie Harrington, a champagne (ginger ale) toast, wedding cake cutting, and the brides toss of her bouquet. The happy couple was rumored to have honeymooned in exclusive West Keansburg. 27 A Memorable Night... The Senior Prom I'm still lovin' you May 16 was the date of one of the most memorable occa- sions of senior year. The gathering place for this special night was the Farington Manor in East Brunswick. This event lived up to all its expectations. Many limousines could be found that night cruising around. D.J. Sanfillippo played the favorite tunes of all that were present. The theme song, “Still Loving You,” filled the room as all the couples fully dressed in gowns and tuxedos, crowded the dance floor. This night will always be remembered, with the many pictures taken and by the keepsakes given out. “Get Into The Groove “we're in heaven.’ “I'm Just A Gigolo Hard Work Pays Off!

Scratchin' away Baccalaureate The Class of 85 “I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete. My commandment is this; love one another just as I love you. The greatest love a person can have for his friends is to give his life for them. And you are my friends if you do what I command you. I do not call you servants any longer, because a servant does not know what his master is doing. Instead I call you friends, because I have told you everything I have heard from the Father. You did not choose me; I chose you and appointed you to go and bear much fruit, the kind of fruit that endures. And so the Father will give you whatever you ask of him in my name. This. then, is what I command you: love one an- other. John 15:11-17 Reader: Scott Lambertson ‘Sing Praise to the Lord.

As the graduates filed out of the gym, smiles filled their faces and tears filled their eyes. m Class Salutatorian Eleanor Wykpisz 32 Administration Msgr. John Gerety Spending some time with the students. Dear Students, How quickly the years pass! When you arrive at St. Mary High School as fresh- men four years ahead seem like an eterni- ty. Then suddenly, without you even real- izing it, you are seniors and ready to step out into the world. The giant step up and out of school Into the big wide world can be frightening but glorious at the same time. Over your four years at St. Mary’s all your teachers instruct you in the things you need to know. This knowledge should help you to make good decisions as you grow and develop. Like all human beings you will make mistakes. Learn from your mistakes and grow Into a bigger and bet- ter person. Christ in his passion fell three times but each time he got up and went on. Through his resurrection Jesus showed us the glory that will be ours if we remain true to him. Life will be worth living. Hap- piness, peace and contentment will be yours if you allow Jesus to be your guide. Sincerely yours in Christ, Sister Margaret Miss Adele Baluk, Ass’t Principal Guidance Mrs. Jeanne Polinski Director Edward Twomey Showing The Way The Philosophy of St. Marys Guidance Department is to have students demonstrate a deep inner awareness of their own dignity and worth and that of others. This is done by attempting to instill in each student a genuine respect for the spirit of life, with strong emphasis on the Christian life. As a result of interaction and interviews with counselors, each student demonstrates an awareness of his her own potential and learns to develop realistic goals. The department encourages cooperation and communi- cation with parents, teachers, and administration in the pro- cess of continued growth for students. It is through this department that the students of St. Mary’s are helped in their struggle to reach for tomorrow.

This year they have had many fun filled activities planned, some which have already tak- en place. The senate has been very successful. One very important event is the Lip Sync Contest. All the stu- dents enjoy this event and those who participate have a great time. It is a very good fund raiser not only for the class, but money is donated to a char- ity. The culmination of this year will be the Senior Prom. There is much plan- ning to take into consideration when preparations are made, but it takes a certain kind of individual. These individuals are led by modera- tor Mr. Ryan. They include Jamie Diem (Pres.), Dawn Hornik, Eileen Brown, Sean McCarthy, Dave Kennedy, Ste- ven Santangelo, and Tom SanFillipo. Front Row: Eileen Brown, Jamie Diem (Pres.), Dawn Hornik. Back Row: Dave Kennedy, Steve Santangelo, Tom SanFillipo, Sean McCarathy. Junior Senate The Junior Senate demonstrates the true meaning of the word “Senate”. Their individual thoughts and ideas are enough, but once they are combined they prove to be a great success. They are responsible and have very original ideas. This year the Christmas Ball was held at Lakeside Manor in Hazlet. It showed their careful planning and suc- cessful preparations of the event. They have also done very well in their annual Family Fued. They raise money and at the same time have fun preparing ac- tivities for the class. The Junior Senate members are Paul Mazzela (Pres.), Debbie Vellanti, Kevin Byrne, Angela Titolo, Nick Ferraro, Veronica Wyk- pisz, and Anthony Sarcone. Their sen- ate is led by moderator Mr. Gloss. Front Row: Veronica Wykpisz, Tony Sarcone.

The Sophomore Senate led by Mrs. Burns consists of Lorrin Burrows, Deb- bie Zielinski, Mark Hammon (Pres.), Gina Catallo, Kristen McKitish, Leeann Durski, and Jennifer Noble. Their hard work and determination really shine through. They work together and al- ways put their best foot forward. They spend many hours planning out activi- ties that will be fun and educational for everyone. Their fund raising events and dances always prove to be very successful. These seven responsible sophomores will stay true to their promises and work hard to fulfill their duties. Freshman Senate Although the Senate is a new idea to the Freshmen, they always find a way to adapt to the new surroundings and responsibility given to them. It is not only an honor but a privilege to be cho- sen by your own classmates to be part of the senate. The Freshmen take time to plan and raise money for their class. They will be showing their leadership and dedication in all activities they plan, but especially for the Valentines Day Ball, which is their main activity. These dedicated students, led by mod- erator Mr. Tice, consist of Tyrus Hicks, Robert Ferraro, Bill Wykpisz (Pres.), Jill Joswick, Jennifer Ansted, Chrissy Vellanti, and Gerry Panigrosso.

Junior Ring Day There are many signs and symbols that are important, because however simple, they have great meaning and are filled with years of tradition. A symbol of a handshake, a flower, a rainbow all have meaning. The class ring is such a symbol — a symbol of St. Mary’s High School filled with years of tradition. It is also the sign that a person is now an upper classman. These were the thoughts on Junior Ring Day — Friday, October 18, 1985. It was a day that began with a breakfast served by the Home School Association in the lobby of the Little Theatre. Then it was off to church for a beautiful mass at which the class rings were blessed by Father Decker. Each student received a flower as a symbol of the love and unity shared by the class. Rings were distributed by Sister Margaret in the Little Theatre after which Mr. Malhame gave a brief talk. Parents then joined the students for a reception in St. Patrick’s Hall, during which the traditional turning of the rings took place. A memorable day was had by all.

It was an opportunity to get together with friends outside of the normal school routine. For the freshmen it was their first time to “Boogie” at St. Mary’s. The Senior Class did an excellent job in making this fund raiser an enjoyable evening for all.

Halloween 1985 was a special event at St. Mary’s. The Great Pumpkin (Mrs. Tighe) visited us all at lunch, trick or treat- ing for UNICEF. The generous students responded very willingly to the appeal. Meanwhile, several students acted as helpers for the grammar school while the little ones sported their unusual dress code for the day. HAPPY HALLOWEEN! Debbie and Dorothy help the bunnies. Diane and the Pirate. 47 Lip-Sine: An Annual Event A new event took place in St. Mary’s this year; which was the Lip Sync contest. Many talented performers in the school came out to “strut their stuff”. There was a lot of competition between the groups and tough decisions were made by the judges, but in the end the winners were apparent. The “Sleeze Patrol” with “Smoking in the Boys Room” captured first place with their wild cos- tumes and outrageous actions. “Heart” took over second place with their great on stage perfor- mance of “Never”, and Paul Mazzella’s group won third place with that rockin’ song “Easy Street”. The other dedicated groups which gave it their all were “White Pumps in Winter”, “Mickey and the Skeeters”, and don’t forget the song “Paradise” by the “Dashboard Light”. Hard work along with talent led to the success of this new event which will hopefully continue for years to come.

It’s hard to go to a new school and to meet new people without becoming a little confused at times. Sometimes we tend to think we’re all alone. This year’s Fresh- men Retreat helped to disperse those fears. We met people in the strangest of situations. Do you remember who wore initial jewelry or who had your shoe size? Although many friendships were made, we also reaffirmed our most important friendship, the one with God. Also, we talked about things we never would have had a chance to talk about normally. Be- fore Freshmen Retreat, we were a group of people; after Freshmen Retreat we were a class. Chris, Arlene. Judy, and Jennifer share a moment together. Taking a Break!

Each year it at- tracts more and more people from all areas of the state. This years Seniors in the play are: Rich Fleming as Jesus, Ed Flanagan as Peter, Steve Santangelo as Annas, A.J. Boehler as Herod, Kelly Dean as Mary Magdalene, Michelle Marciniak and Noelle Jimenez will be assisting as members of the stage crew. The feeling we receive from being a part of this play is similar to the one we experience on our Senior Retreat. Dur- ing our retreat we came to see each other as unique and special; during our Passion Play we come to understand Je- sus as the center of that uniqueness which makes us so special. students Pd rlay Senior Members of St. Ann's Passion Play Family Feud Family Feud is an annual event at St. Mary’s. Each year the classes sharpen their wit to answer such scholarly ques- tions as “Who is your favorite Rock Singer?” and “What is the color you like most?”. This year the Feud was held on November 7th. All four levels, 9,10,11, and 12 fought a bitter struggle however, Miss Orlowski and the Dynamic Juniors pulled it off and won $100 for their class treasury. To be continued next year . . . “Same time next year Mary and Rich battle it out 51 Senior Retreat At St. Mary’s there are many activities which prepare the students for dealing with the future. These activities bring classes together for a time they will always remem- ber. One of these activities that we have experienced is the Senior Retreat. Senior Retreat is a time when those who wish may participate in an event that will not only change their lives, but will leave pleasant memories. This year the seniors trotted off into three separate directions where they spent time in prayer, reflection, and unity. The retreat houses were located in Aldersgate and Kirkridge. Many special thoughts and feelings were shared especially during the Affirmation exercise. The seniors had a chance to learn about themselves as well as others. They became friends with everyone. Soon they realized that there were many other seniors just like them. They also learned that everyone is their own unique individual. It only took a weekend to learn about “Loving Somebody”.

The Medieval Festi- val, on December 18, was a huge success. All the freshmen His- tory Classes got to- gether and prepared a fantastic extravagan- za for their fellow classmates. The day began with oral re- ports in The Little Theater and then all the Freshmen proceeded to St. Patrick’s Hall for food and entertainment. This fes- tival was not only a fun day but a learning experience as well. It was certainly a huge success for the Freshman Class of “89” and the day’s events will stay in our memo- ries for many years to come. Our sincere thanks to the History Department for the development and planning of this very special freshman event. This is the pits! 54 Is it 2:15 yet? Wow! I’m a fairy nice girl.

Many days and nights were spent preparing for and dreaming about this night of nights. When it finally arrived, there was a certain excitement in the air. Who could ever forget how many times they played Bruce Springsteen’s “Santa Claus Is Coming To Town”? Or the sumptous feast they prepared for us? But most important of all, who will ever forget the Christmas Ball of 1985? Freshman Year - A New Adventui First Day Jitters Hearts pounding, palms sweating, blood pres- sure rising we, the class of 1989 entered the halls of St. Mary’s for the first time. No matter what our reason for being here, one common factor united us all FEAR! Since that first day we can look back with a half smile for all our anxieties were unwont- ed. We have made friends, learned to respect others, and have remained close to our God. We will however, still smile a bit when we see the class of 1990 enter these doors next year with “First day jitters.” “Which way out of here?” We can handle this, no problem! “Could we pass as Seniors . . . Maybe? you come too! 58 Meet the Class of 89 The Freshman Class of 1986 is an enthusiastic, cheery, friendly group of newcomers in a world very different from their usual style of school life. The Freshman class is united in friendship. Many freshmen take part in sports, school activities, and other important functions socially and academically. Although high school life is very new to the freshmen they have adapted very quickly. The freshmen seem to be very enthusiastic towards studies as well as school. They are a special group who will surely keep the school spirit in St. Mary’s alive and make school a home away from home. Barry Manilow is sooo cute ... Isn't he?

As the students gain confidence in themselves they begin to participate more in school activities such as clubs and athletics. All too soon the Class of ’88 will move forward and Sophomore year too will be just a memory.

Not underclassmen, but still not Seniors, we are at a crossroad in life. We have time to dream about our future, to reflect upon our past and live for the present. Only too soon will our lives take on more and more responsibility. Hopefully, St. Mary’s has prepared us to meet these new chal- lenges. Until then, the Class of 1987 will hold on to sixteen as long as we can. Getting together in the Little Theatre.

The National Honor Society Saint Mary High School is proud to have a group of students joined together in the Marian Chapter of the National Honor Society. The Marian Chapter of this society was chartered in 1954. Mem- bership is not only an honor but also a responsibility to demonstrate the qualities of a scholarship, leadership, character and service. To be selected as a candidate a student must have a cumulative grade average of “B” and must fill out an activity sheet sub- mitted to the faculty. A five-member facul- ty council appointed by the principal meet to review the scholastic records and activ- ity sheets. After selection, students are considered active members as long as they maintain the standards by which they were select- ed. Each year the council reviews the re- cords along with other candidates. Upon graduation, members are classified as graduate members. This years National Honor Society, with their moderator Mrs. Pothoff, did many things to aid the school by having fund raisers, scholastic programs, and prepar- ing for the induction of new members. Members of the society collected money for turkeys for needy families and orga- nized a tutorial during the two lunch per- iods. They spent much time and effort upholding the good name and standards of the Marian Chapter of the National Honor Society and we at St. Mary High School are very proud of all their work.

It consists of two major parts: the spontaneous situation and the long term problem. The spontaneous situation is when all the members of the group have to answer to a problem within a certain time limit. The answer should be creative as well as per- tain to the problem involved. The long term problem is given to the students several months in ad- vance. The students have time to create an answer and on the day of the competition they display their solution.

It not only helps the students to practice their Spanish; it gives them a greater appre- ciation for the Spanish culture. This year the Spanish Club is beginning a new phase in the history of its club. Mrs. Caubet announced that they would be writ- ing their own Spanish magazine. There’s no definite format so far, but give the imagina- tion of the “miembros del club de espanol,” it should be “Fantastico” El Club Espanol La Alegria deEspaiiol es ... no chicle en la boca c donde esta tu corbata? dos y veinte un barril vacio su tarea es sientate usa sangre It’s been around for more than two thousand year.

P f , L v J i ! ay vv dA m m Singing Together St. Mary’s is a school which prides itself on the talents and abilities of its students. One such group which can be used as examples of this is the Folk Group. Under the direction of Mrs. Burns, they meet for practice and put together the songs to be used during mass. The most important mass which the Folk Group prepares for with constant practice is the Christmas mass. This mass takes ap- proximately one month to prepare for. The Folk Group hopes with the help and guidance of Mrs. Burns, to continue in giving that extra something to the masses held this year and every year.

Literary Magazine Mission Llub “Emotions” of Life Goals of the Literary Magazine Poetry, short stories, essays and illustrations by stu- dents are published in the St. Mary literary magazine, Reflections. One purpose of the magazine is for students to discover the joys and difficulties of literary work. By analyzing their own emotions and attitudes, then attempt- ing to express what they feel in words and by editing one another’s writing, students learn about friendship and cooperation. The greatest goal in creating the literary magazine is to please those who read it; to provide an example of liter- ary excellence, while helping students to communicate more effectively. These ideals can never be fully achieved, of course, and the magazine can certainly al- ways be improved, yet it is probably safe to say that Reflections is a success because it is designed — as Aris- totle suggested all things should be — to be both beautiful and useful. Staff — L. Pulido, M. Gillard, D. Achenbach, C. Graham, R. Morze, M. Wroblewski, G. Panigrosso, L. Burrows, Mr. John Gallas Members of the Mission Club get together. The Love We Share , Working together as a team, the Mis- sion Club has been able to donate with the help of the entire school a signifi- cant amount of money to the needy of our world. It is through the love and efforts of all the students that St. Mary’s is proud to help those who cannot help them- selves. It is through this spirit of grow- ing that we have learned the love we share by giving to others is the greatest love of all. Teresa shares an idea. 86 Tank. Rich. Ed and Dave. Wham's Competition DBrary Aides A.V. Club Mrs. Testa and her eager help. The “A” Team Library Helpers One of the various jobs done by the students is the upkeep of the library. Those who take time out of their schedule to fulfill this job are called library aides. They are responsible for the organization of the library and control of the students. They are also very helpful to our librarians Mrs. Testa and Mrs. Hancik. We would like to thank our library aides for their dedication and assistance. Whenever you hear the patter of little feet coming down the hall and see several red faced, puffed out young men at your classroom door you can be sure it is the heroic A.V. team single handedly manipulating the VCR in one hand, sharp 19 color TV in the other and an extension cord hanging from their teeth. Supported by the heroic effort of Mr. Tice the A.V. team is on call keeping all of our equipment in A-l shape. The St. Mary’s Bookstore Compensatory Ed. Compensatory Education provides courses in Math skills and Communication skills. The courses are designed to meet individual needs in small groups. The groups meet in the trailer daily. Instruc- tion is given by two teachers with the aid of multiple materials and computers. Although the course is very clearly defined the only thing not mentioned in the curriculum is the love and concern of the excel- lent teachers Mrs. Michelle Barrett and Mrs. Rhonda Summer that turn a classroom into a labor of love. Mrs. Summer Mrs. Michelle Barrett The center of all academia in St. Mary’s is the bookstore, as Mr. Malahame will con- stantly remind everyone. The beginning of each year, peo- ple fight just to get a place in line. For freshmen, this mis- sion of search and buy is thought to be impossible; how- ever hardened upperclass- men pass through this maze with ease. We will never for- get Mr. Malahame’s refreshing disposition before homeroom or his patience in awaiting gym shirt arrivals. Good Luck next year! Mr. Malhames Book Store ¥ Mississippi Mississippi or Bust In October 1985 five students from St. Mary’s were chosen to represent their parishes in a Catho- lic Youth Convention in Biloxi, Mississippi. The stu- dents are Mary Ann Sullivan, John LaFonte, Tony Kous, Gerry Panigrosso and Danny Kous. The con- vention was four days and three nights. The pur- pose for going was to learn more about new ideas concerning youth in the Church and to get to know others. The five went with a group of forty other teenagers and moderators. The students engaged in workshops concerning various topics dealing with life today and in the future. Also, they took part in daily prayer and masses. Of course there was time to enjoy the sun on Saturday afternoon on the “Biloxi Beach” in 85° weather. There was a banquet Saturday evening and a very special mass Sunday morning before leaving for the 3,000 par- ticipants from all over the United States. The mass included everyone having a lit candle in the dark- ness and singing “We Are the World”. There were tears shed for no one wanted to leave. St. Mary’s is very proud of these students who took part in this convention. They truly represented the Youth of America very well. We hope in the future they will continue to represent their religion in formulating active parish youth groups through- out our Diocese. Or Bust Danny Kous, Geraldine Panigrosso, Maryann Sullivan, John LaFonte, Tony Kous Tenth Anniversary of the Cagney Wall A tradition continues at St. Mary’s H.S. that celebrates the artistic skills of some of its most talented students. Over the last ten years Mr. Ed Twomey has asked students in our art classes to draw portraits of the great actor of the 1930’s- 1940’s, James Cagney. Only the best were selected for inclusion on the wall in the guidance office. The portraits were taken from photographs of Cagney in his most famous roles over a 30 year career. Current students who have contributed portraits are seniors Steve Duchlinski and Jill Carew. Sceptre No one ever realizes the work and dedication necessary to produce a yearbook until they are part of a busy staff. This year’s sceptre was no exception. Armed with rulers, penicls, crop wheels, and carbons, the staff began to put together the 1986 yearbook in July of 1985. Under the direction of Mrs. Panigrosso the eager crew worked endless hours to make the publication just right. Led by Jamie Diem, Karen Scupp Laura Radwanski no one rested, especially when a deadline was due. Who took the ruler? Which is length and which is width? Where’s the crop wheel? How do you spell Freshman? were common sounds in room 209. Now that the finished product has arrived, Editor Teresa O’Meara and the staff can smile proudly for a job well done.

Judith A. Resnik. Michael J. Smith. Francis R. Scobee and Ronald E. McNair January 28, 1986 11:39.13 A.M. On January 28,1986 at 11:39.13 A.M. History recorded a bleak moment in the saga of a nation at peace. Bewildered faces with eyes cast upwards to the heavens hoped and prayed for an instant replay that would change the horror of what they viewed. Seven dedicated men women searching for the heavens in an attempt to broaden man’s horizon met the ULTIMATE challenge. What does it all mean? What is its value in a world too busy to stop and notice the actual event of the day , before the tragedy occurred? The answer is as simple as the innocence of the spirit of that Challenger Crew. The spirit of America has been re-awakened to the challenge of the future. Touching every child in every classroom the words of teacher Christa McAuliffe “to reach for more and to meet each new challenge head on” rang loud and clear. From the early days of our pioneer forefathers who pushed our westward borders farther and farther to the sea, to our HEROES IN SPACE who have no limit and no borders, we bless and thank the immortal Challenger Crew for reminding man to continue his destiny to REACH FOR TOMORROW. The Wings Of Doves On Thursday, February 6, the Freshman Senate under the direction of Mr. Tice prepared a mass and service recognizing the great sacrifice made by the 7 astronauts of the Challenger Crew. Each senate mem- ber released a beautiful white dove of peace in honor of a member of the shuttle. The ceremony took place after Mass on the church lawn. At exactly 1:00 p.m. the Church bells tolled for 5 minutes and then the senate released their doves of peace to soar into the heavens. Several of the birds remained amid the tree tops for minutes afterward. Everyone was very moved by the touching symbolism of this special moment.

It marks an ending and a be- ginning. We now are given full reign to do with our lives what we will. Yet it is also an ending of the carefree life we have enjoyed thus far. Life outside high school is envisioned as seemingly perfect. There is no more four minute bells to rule our lives, no more pressures of trying to complete the daily assignments. Yet, we still will have responsibilities and deadlines to meet. High school has helped to discipline us in facing these obligations. Our high school years are ones we can never relive. They are special and unique. Their memories can neither be changed nor replaced, only cherished as the years go by. No matter how hard we try, the memories of these years can never be vocalized. They are a combination of sights, sounds, smells and feelings. The only true interpretation of our thoughts are the pictures presented here. The photos on the following pages will evoke in many of us a tear or a laugh in the years to come. Hopefully when we reminiscence about our four years in St. Mary’s we will truly appreciate what this school imparted to us. The rules and codes were meant to strengthen us, not weaken us. Teachers tried to reach us, not push us further away. No matter how difficult they seem now, we will surely conclude that these years were the best years of our lives. Wake me when it’s over Isn’t she cute?” Stop pulling my hair! Mike and Joe — two oj our helpful Seniors. Don't you dare drop me! Mr. Ryan: Teacher, Moderator, And Friend In the past years, many people have said that the academic aspect of education at St. Mary’s is no dif- ferent than any other school. So then what is it that makes St. Mary’s so special? One might say that it is the retreat program, or the many social activities set up by the sen- ates. But when asked, the majority would probably say it is the special teachers who really care about the emotional and spiritual well being of the students as well as their aca- demic progress. A perfect example of one of these teachers is Mr. Ryan. He has taught us not only in classes, but in many other ways too. He has been ex- tremely dedicated as our class mod- erator and he has done many things for our class to make our four years here special ones. He has always been there to give us guidance, advice, and occasional- ly a little push to get us headed in the right direction. As individuals, and also as a whole class, we are very grateful to him for all these things. What makes Mr. Ryan spe- cial to us, however, is the fact that he has always been a friend. He is not just a teacher, but someone who is close and loyal to us. He has helped us realize the importance of being involved in our class activities, and also how to grow with each oth- er. He has demonstrated great pa- tience with us, and even on those rare occasions when he did get mad, he always assured each of us that we were “Still good people.” When we leave St. Mary’s High School, we should hope that we will never forget Mr. Ryan and all he has done for us, most especially as a dedicated teacher and friend who not only taught us what we had to learn, but also how to learn it.

The superlatives help us to recall certain students who especially stand out whether it is nicest eyes, most academic or class clown. In years to come we will look back at these pages and laugh when we discover if these students actually keep the characteristics which they were so re- membered for.

The room was decorated for the occasion and a Christmas tree stood in the corner. Mr. Yusko arrived bringing all the “favorite Christmas shows” on VCR. Everyone watched specials such as Frosty and Rudolph whle they munched out on subs and cookies. A card game was going on and other seniors just reminisced all evening. Finally, Santa arrived and every person got to sit on his lap while they were given a candy cane and a special note from Mr. Ryan and the senate. It was definitely a night to be remembered.

All the seniors of the class of 86 were invit- ed to spend the evening participat- ing in various activities. The volley- ball nets were out as well as the ping-pong table. The students were encouraged to play basketball, bad- minton, and trivial pursuit. On the stage the movie “Revenge of the Nerds” was shown, and several se- niors were baffled with a rubiks cube puzzle; which was finally put togeth- er? A huge box cranked out some tunes to which the girls sang and danced. All agreed the evening was worth while and went home with the feeling of sharing in something spe- cial. “Try to look excited 118 Butch hangs out Dave takes time to cool down. run test oo Kim Walker, Our own Madonna Jill and Noelle are on top of the world.

Class of ’86 When the Class of ’86 first came to St. Mary’s as freshman we were united with classmates we never knew before. Throughout the past four years we have become a very close knit group of stu- dents. We have shared many good times and have had experiences together which we will always remember. Special friend- ships have developed over the years and these strong relationships will last for many years to come. The pictures on the next two pages reflect the strong bonds that will not sever within the Class of '86 of Saint Mary’s High. These bonds are just a few examples of what friendships have developed within our class. Hopefully these special people will not lose contact and will remain FRIENDS FOREVER!!!

Here at St. Mary we not only learn about the sport but we also learn how to deal with certain situa- tions that we are going to encounter in our futures’. We learn that it’s not whether you win or lose; but rather how you play the game. This quality will be helpful to us for the rst of our lives. Being part of St. Mary’s sports program is an asset to our education here at High School. It gives us the opportunity to see our friends after school in an orderly fashion and be- come closer in our outside relation- ships. It also shows us how to per- form in our world as we live in it today. We are always proud to be an EAGLE, and this gives us the com- petitive edge!!! Linda Bravo, out of uniform again!

Their final record was 8-8 with some impressive wins over tough teams. Leading i the way winning most of her matches was Senior Linda Bravo. Second singles was occu- pied by Veronica Wykpisz who had a great season and looks to be the teams number one player next year. Senior Lisa Harrigan played in the third singles spot and did a good job. Senior Jean O'Toole and Junior Tara j Zdznieki had an excellent season at first dou- bles; they played extremely well together and had a great final record. Second doubles was patrolled by the rest of the team. The Zielinski sisters played many tough, long matches, and proved to be the winning com- bination in many close matches. This years team had lots of enthusiasm and confidence through the coaching of first year coach Mrs. Borbely who was very happy with the team's • season. With Mrs. Bornely coming back and ! players such as Kris Sarisky and Kathy OToole returning, St. Mary's looks like they are going to have another winning season.

Shawn Scranton, Mark Szymanski, Steve Frazee. Mike Schmidt. Brian Sullivan, Alex Florin, Kelly Salkoskas (Score- keeper). The boys soccer team started their season on a very good note. In beating Piscataway, they boosted the re- cord to 1-0. Unfortunately the season was somewhat downhill from there, but the team did manage a few wins. The offense was led by Junior Center Forward Tom White and Senior Center Half Ken Mayers. The defense was led by Seniors Steve Santangelo and Ed Flannagan along with Juniors Glen Mayers, Sean Scranton, and John Flannagan. Sean McCarthy also had an outstanding season in goal. Coach Duh was disappointed in the turnout for the team this year, and wishes to see more underclassmen come out for soccer in the future. As a result, the season was not extremely successful, but it never lacked excite- ment and enthusiasm. This year's team tallied the most red and yellow cards of any team in St. Mary's history. It was also the first team ever to score ten goals in our game . . . and lose! Our team may be small but our hearts and spirits are very large. Looking forward to next season and hoping there is one. Ken Mayers shows his dribbling talents. Another Flanagan following in his broth- “That's Right, VJe’re Bad!! — Ed ers' footsteps. Flanagan Steve Santangelo — What a Feeling! Sean McCarthy blocks the ball with ease. This year the girls’ soccer team demonstrated great determination and dedication throughout the entire sea- son. The team lost in many close games, yet they never let this factor have an effect on their performance. Holding the team together through the hard times were Senior Captains Karen Scupp and Laura Rad- wanskl. Karen, the goalie for the team, gave her all in every situation. She played a tough game. Other seniors Rosie Murphy and Diane Ambis, were major trouble on the front line. Debbie Kelton and Kim Walker, also se- niors, displayed their skill and strength when needed. Chris Cartwright was definitely an Important part of the teams success. She, also a senior, had the talent and drive to keep the team going. She was backed up by junior Tisha Loftus, who was high scorer for the team. When they were in trouble Tisha always came through. Yet we must not forget the essential part of the teams support, Coach Mrs. Mayers, with her constant encour- agement and guidance, how could the team go wrong?

Cross Country This year St. Mary’s Boys’ and Girls’ Cross Coun- try teams participated in the newly revised Middle- sex County Super Conference. St. Mary’s was in the 3rd Division, called the Blue Division. Both Teams were coached by Ed Twomey and they con- sisted of mainly underclassmen. The boys’ team was led by junior Kevin Byrne, sophomore Dave Nash, Senior Rich Fleming, and freshman Bill Wyk- pisz. Other contributors were senior Dave Kenne- dy, sophomore Bill Boehler, and freshmen Glen Vig- nola, John Pangborn, and Bill Cody. Although the boys only won two matches, most of the key run- ners are returning next year, and the outlook is good for a possible championship. Kevin Byrne was this years Most Valuable Runner.

The girls’ team were led by senior Bernadette Wykpisz, junior Colleen McCarthy, sophomore Dawn Castellano, and freshman Dawne McCabe. Other con- tributors were sophomores Kim Borucki, Shannon O’Connor, Debbie Finnegan, and freshman Mariann Fin- negan. Similar to the boys’ team is the youth of the team. Only one runner will graduate this year. That runner, Berna- dette Wykpisz, had an outstanding year. She finished 1st in many races and was easily the Most Valuable Girls’ Runner. Coach Twomey sees next year as the Culmination of practice and experience in leading to division champion- ships. “The returning runners are a hungry and dedi- cated group and I predict good things for them. Of course, the most important thing is that each runner tries his her best and consistently strives to improve. That’s all I can ask.” Bill Wykpisz getting ready to move ahead. “Oops, my foot's stuck.

Pallito’s reign has brought new spirit and much hope to a team whose future was dim. Hard practices, much sweat, and little food gave the team the determination to suffer through hard times and look for- ward to a brighter future. The team will miss the leadership and good spirits of it’s captains, Ray Drill and Steve Santangelo who turn the helm over to the highly ambi- tious “Mighty Midgets”. As a final note we would like to say “We don’t want to cause no trouble, we’re just here to do the F-Troop Shuffle”.
