Augustine Crine, V.F. Monsignor Crine deserves beyond all doubt our deep- est gratitude, our respect, and our affection for his sin- cere and continuous interest in all that concerns Wild- wood Catholic High School. Monsignor's dedicated service in the various parishes in New Jersey, where he served both as curate and as pastor, warranted him the dignity he eventually attained on December 6, 1957. On that day he was elevated to the position of Domestic Prelate. The City of Wildwood rejoiced with him on that occasion. Wildwood Catholic rejoices with him now, on the twenty-fifth anniversary of his ordination to the Holy Priesthood. With friends and parishioners, past and present, the Faculty and students of Wildwood Catholic High School join in wishing Mon- signor Crine ad multos annos. THE MOST REVEREND CELESTINE J. DAMIANO Shepherd of the Hock Every phase of Catholic youth in the diocese of Camden—intellectual, spiritual, physical—is under the wise and judicious guidance of the Arch- bishop-Bishop of Camden. Ever mindful of the impressionable youth under his care—youth who are so strongly influenced and affected by environment and surroundings— our beloved Bishop has embarked upon an extensive building project to accommodate the ever increasing number of children in his diocese. Thus His Excellency, the Most Rev- erend Archbishop Celestine J. Dami- ano, is providing for the spiritual and corporal needs of the youth en- trusted to his pastoral care; and, at the same time, he is fulfilling Our Divine Lord's command: Feed My lambs; feed my sheep. Archbishop-Bishop of Camden THE RIGHT REVEREND MONSIGNOR CHARLES P. McGARRY Superintendent of Schools REVEREND JOHN J. CLARK Assistant Superintendent of Schools The Right Reverend Monsignor Charles P. McGarry and Reverend John J. Clark undertake the responsibility of supervising the schools throughout the diocese of Camden. Under the direction of the Most Reverend Bishop, these zealous priests are aiding in the expansion of educational facilities to accommodate the rapidly increasing number of students in the diocesan high schools. Father Kuhl and Father Ryan have gained our complete confidence. Their inter- est in us as a group is only surpassed by their interest in us as individuals. Like their pastor, Monsignor Crine, these are priestly priests —whether we meet them at the altar railing, in our classrooms, at our games, at our socials, or our Senior Prom. Long after our books are laid away and forgotten, the memory of the priests at Wildwood Catholic will linger on. .. and guide. REVEREND CHARLES E.

Joseph Ten Sisters of St. Joseph staff the various departments of study at Wildwod Catholic. These Sisters—specialists in their respective fields—hold degrees from many leading colleges and universities of the United States. Because theirs is an active life to them Every hour is Jesus' hour ; and their effort is primarily to help the students to realize the plan of God in their lives. Our Sisters generously lend themselves to every project helpful to the student. At the same time they instill a love for truth and knowledge, the foundations upon which all true Catholic education is built. Their faith in us never falters; and, knowing this, we will strive to be ever worthy of that trust.

Every student of Wildwood Catholic recognizes the in- estimable contribution these teachers make to the educational welfare of our school. They help to prepare us for our future roles by giving us a firm foundation in vocational training, art, busi- ness mathematics, history, and other related sub- jects. As we mature and our sights are focused properly, we can evaluate even better the debt we owe to these dedicated men and women. -sfv V 1 1 . V f MRS. WALTER W. KEENE, Meehan- MRS. JOHN D.

Jack, whose sight is in his finger tips, needs this outside help in writing down his answers in tests, and in preparation for his more difficult subjects. He is an honor student and carries a full Freshman roster. Finger tips, Braider, typewriter, the patient assistance of his Reader, Mrs. Locke—all of these, combined with determined, dogged effort on Jack's part, contribute to make Jack Justice an outstanding student. Ill give patiently and faithfully 11 jhe wefild seems small qftews It will take four years—and more—to master the contents of these books. To the Freshman, the task appears almost impossible. But the Seniors know that it can be done; and there are many honor students among them to prove it. Furthermore, looking back in retrospect over their high school years, the Seniors can appreciate the thoroughness of the scholastic program at Wildwood Catholic which embraces the diverse phases of life and, at the same time, inculcates Catholic principles. Religion is the essence and end of Catholic education. At Wildwood Catholic, the four-year course in this study is both comprehensive and practical. Father Ryan and Father Kuhl, diocesan priests, teach religion daily in the junior and senior classes. Supplementing the religious instruction given in the classrooms are the Retreat Priests, the Vocation Week speaker, and the special guidance program extended by Sister Louise Bertrand. All of this is offered to the student in order to develop in him a healthy spiritual life. There is no dearth of good seed. God grant it falls upon good soil and bears fruit a hundredfold in the exemplary lives of Wildwood Catholic students and graduates. Marie Fala and Evelyn Paul pause momentarily under the beautiful crucifix at the Sixteenth and New Jersey Avenue entrance. Frequently during the day, Wildwood Catholic students whisper prayerful requests for guidance as they pass the image of our crucified Saviour. 14 We praise You. We bless You. We adore You ... During every moment of our school life our actions, our thoughts, our words praise God, through the efficacy of our Morning Offering. We unite ourselves every day to the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass throughout the world. Thus Christ truly becomes our Way, our Truth, our Life. Can you distinguish between a human act and an act of man? If you are a little hazy, consult these Religion III philosophers for the respective defini- tions. Father Ryan makes sure that his students know all the answers. 1 Background ni Religion Peter Jargowsky and Bernard Gebhardt lead the Freshmen in the recital of the Christmas antiphon. The Advent Wreath occupied an important place in each classroom during the four weeks preceding Christmas. 15 16 ... Iii'l|iiii« to Solve Problems Mathematics is the pursuit of the unknown, which is the beginning of learning. W.C. students are of- fered algebra, geometry, trigonometry, and business arithmetic. Our school is conscious, too, of our atomic age existence. With its well-equipped laboratories and qualified teachers, it is geared to supply the de- mand for better science students. Did you ever explore the animal world through a microscope? These Sophomore biologists get their first microscopic glimpse into an unknown world. James Dougherty adjusts his microscope for a better look. Francis Picirilli and Andrew Eels have discovered something interesting. “First Honors student for four years, Josephine Catolane has the satisfaction of knowing that the blood, sweat, and tears which she has put into her studies have reaped her a rich reward. Josephine is the editor-in-chief of our newspaper. The Crusader. Who said that “students have no time for activities? These future chemists invade the world of experimentation. Working industriously, they aim to learn the whole mys- tory of this course, Chemistry I, which introduces them to the composition of matter and to the changes that matter under goes. These students are aware that the scientific world in which we live places a great emphasis on knowledge of science. The logarithmic functions in trigonometry terrorize some unwary Mathematics IV stu- dents. But, under the able guidance of Sister Mary Helen, Mike Herron, Pat Wall, and John Lue find the key to their problems. Sister teaches these students Physics too. Mr. Gibbons instructs his General Mathematics class in the basic principles of accounting, bookkeeping, and insurance. The class, consisting of juniors and seniors, appreciate the assistance that Mr. Gibbons extends to them in the light of his broad insight into the problems that the seniors will soon face. Smiling faces bespeak Victory in the NOMA Spelling test. All Wild- wood Catholic students strive to master the 600 words supplied by the National Office Management Association. Twice yearly a spelling test is given. The students who submit perfect papers earn a certificate. The proud winners of a NOMA spelling certificate are: T. Levin, J. Fala, H. Quinn, T. Filachek, J. Murphy, E. Campbell, C. Andruzza, and R. Woehlcke. Freshmen artists proudly display their masterpieces. Patricia Leahy's art received high commendation from Mrs. Keene, our art teacher. The students' own work graces our new Art Room at all times. They were especially proud of their monograms, when they were hung on the bulletin boards. Paula Sitkowski and Mary Ann Haffin await their turn to tape their Voice of Democracy essays. James Tracey demonstrates that it is a breeze. Mary Ann's essay was the winner. She won another award for an essay a $25.00 bond for her essay on Law and the Free Citizen , sponsored by the V.F.W. 18 Sister Catherine Agnes and the juniors hold a group-discussion about an interesting phase in American History, the Signing of the Declaration of Independence. The study of World History and Modern History has laid a firm foundation for the introduction of American History to these students. Next year they must brave Problems of American Democracy. Are examinations really good for students? Robert Carusi and Joseph Connelly look for an answer to Dorn's humorous question. Joe Collins nods grim agreement while Patricia Coughlin smilingly approves. The Junior English students are preparing for a panel discussion on Tips on How to Study. 19 and learn to think, to express our ideas Emphasis on mass media of communication accents the importance of language, foreign as well as English. A selection of Latin and French is presented to the student of W.C. Stress is ever laid on student mastery of self- expression. As distances are telescoped, the knowledge of foreign languages grows in value. At Wildwood Cath- olic, interesting and modern methods aim at making the foreign seem native. Is it on or on? The class in Conversational French are studying Eugene Grimm as he demonstrates the proper lip formation. All right, all together, Eugene's expressive hands seem to be saying. Latin II take time out from the intricacies of Caesar's Gallic Wars to delve into the meaning of our school seal and school motto. Joseph Poserina, pointing to the wavy lines and dots, explains that Wildwood Catholic is located in what was once called Holly Beach. Charlotte Caterina notes that the Latin word Fides (faith) and the lighted torch symbolixe faith. Irene Matthews and Margaret Whelan learn their lesson well. The Music Appreciation class watch Jack Justice as he demonstrates the technique of handling a sliding trombone. A diogram on the blackboard explains the position of the different sections of a symphony. Come, Holy Ghost ...” Freshmen Kathleen Conley and Marguerite Passagno seek the light and assistance they need for the first mid-term examination they will take at Wildwood Catholic. Proudly we hall our undergraduate ‘‘First Honor” students! Mrs. Keene directs a happy game of Volley Ball in a Free Play period of Gym class. Get that ball! But the ball is elusive, and screaming, scrambling girls rush to retrieve It. Under the watchful eye of Sister Anne Cecelia, these juniors prepare for the business world of tomorrow. It is plain to see that future typists from Wildwood Catholic practice the easy rules for success: feet on the floor; eyes on copy; and CONCENTRATE. In Stenography II, much time is devoted to practice of typical office-style dictation. Emphasis is placed on ability to write legible notes at high speed, a quality necessary for all prospective secretaries. Dorothy McKenna points out a difficult character as seniors read quickly. Wood clacking, saws buzzing, hammers pounding. Why the commotion? The shop is in full swing. Mr. Pilcher pilots a group of juniors, backed by his many years of experience in cabinet-making. These future tradesmen are fascinated by the finished products created by their own genius. Heads and hands collaborate 23 jhe fletiizm $j oufi Extracurricular activities at Wildwood Catholic are many and varied. Active participation in any one of these gives a student a sense of 'belonging.” The experi- ence gained in competitive and social events provides useful practice for life situations that we must face later. In (he Footsteps of Nary Membership in the Sodality of Our Blessed Mother gives students an opportunity to show their love for Christ's Mother. At the same time, it encourages them to an active participation in the lay apostolate. Only after a long probation does a candidate become a full-fledged member of the Sodality. Foliowing the Sodality-way of life places par- ticular emphasis on visits to the Blessed Sacrament, daily Mass, mental prayer, and imitation of Our Lady's virtues. Candidales for Our Lady's Sodality and full-fledged ‘‘fried and true members proudly surround Our Lady's statue. Each Monday morning this little group assembles to recite the Little Office of the Blessed Mother, after which the apostolic projects of the group are discussed. 26 The Leader , one of Wildwood's newspapers, publishes weekly Sodality news. Tina Tobin and William Fath prepare items of interest for publication. Keeping re- ligion in the fore is one of the apostolic projects of Our Lady's sodalists. “The pause that refreshes ... In a sisterly and apos- tolic gesture, senior sodalist, Carol D'Amico, renvnds four freshmen of the special graces attached to receiving Holy Communion on the First Friday of each month. Dolores Glassford, Kathryn Carlton, Judy Cianfrogna, and Sharon Morrow will surely remember this little reminder. Student leaders, Betsy Comely, Miriam Jaggard, Christine Tobin, and Ann De Stefono, discuss their lesson plans for the next Sodality meeting. Wildwood Catholic’s Sodalists use as their study guide the St. Mary’s Plan. On Installation Day, Monsignor Crine presented the Student Council with their badges of office. The Student Council is distinguished for its loyalty to the school and its fidelity to the ideals of Wildwood Catholic. This governing body of the students in our school consists of elected members whose obligation is to aid the Faculty, so that Wildwood Catholic will function as a well-disciplined institution. 28 William Fath fills the most coveted office in Wildwood Catholic, the President of the Student Council. William was elected by the student body of the school. He is an honor student. Student Council John Lue seems to be fighting a losing battle with Mary Frances Deets as he points to the name of an unruly Freshman. Among their other duties, the Student Council must give detention to those persons who disregard the laws of the school. ... Interest and Achievement Where shall I go from here? What am I best equipped for? Should I major in English? . . . Name It, and Sister Louise Bertrand will try to solve it for you. Gladly, Sister gives time and solid advice to everyone who seeks it. (And to some who don’t!) College-bound Seniors claim much of Sister’s ctten.'ion. James Sabatino, Mary Jane Mulligan, and Sandy Kazlauskas find Sister Louise an expert advisor. Freshmen John Atwood and Peter Jarkowsky, and Seniors Josephine Cartolano. Donna Meyer, and William Coleman discuss some of the magazines they found most popular with their customers. These five students speak with authority and know-how . . . They were the high salesmen in our annual Magazine Drive. Satisfaction at their success as high powered collectors of ads for the Senior Play is mirrored in the faces of J. McLaughlin, L. Ward, J. Tracey, H. Bellangy, W. Duffy, J. Lue, C. Tobin, A. Gordon, T. Di Donato, and M. Atwood. A trip to New York will highlight their efforts (they hope). Spring signals, and Joanne Versaggi with Marilyn Sheppard sallies forth to meet it. Joanne models a light-weight wool suit in beige. Marilyn is crisply clad in cotton. hours well spent Judith Cavalier and Mary Ann Bowman are all set for a stroll. Judy's white flowered print, accented with dark acces- sories, is the prettiest way to keep “flower-fresh through sunny summer days. Mary Ann's drip-dry cotton is a real summer cooler, too. 30 The Fashion Show Wildwood Catholic's Home Economics Department display their array of striking spring fashions. Under Sister Frances Bernadette's guidance, these girls have acquired the skill and talents necessary to make them future homemakers. Besides a course in clothing, the department offers cooking. This course aims to prepare the girls that they may be able to pursue one of the careers open to Home Economists in the field of dietetics. In the meantime, future wives and mothers are being trained properly. Pert, posed, and pretty, Beatrice Gar- rity sparkles with a spring freshness. Her linen-like navy broadcloth is worn with eye-catching white accessories. Bernice Buganski's contribution to the annual fashion show is a navy and white check two-piecer, an indispensable item in any youthful wardrobe. Donna Meyer’s tricot suit has that Chesterfield look of a double-breasted jacket with an elong- ated notched collar. 31 Getting ready to speak up for the truth . . . Members of the Forensic Club listen to their President, Michael Herron, who offers them suggestions on public speaking technique. Seated at the table are W. Duffy, A. Eels, A. Kelly (standing), P. Conley, W. Fath, S. lamanna, and K. Nesbitt.

The medical antics of Doctors John Lue, Don Dybalski, and George Beschen as they cut up an imaginary Freshman proved to be one of the highlights of the Freshman Day Show. In the wildest and most colorful Freshmen costumes ever, our movie stars, the Freshmen boys, pose for the Senior Talent scouts. Broadway, here they come! The Home Ec class cooked up a gay pantomime for the students as Cave Drinkly (Jim Tracey) and Butt Wuttly (Bill Fath) commentate on the Freshman Day pageantry. M. 34 Between dosses, Rita McAlarnen, filled with Christmas spirit, stops to visit the crib in our school Chapel. As part of their Christmas program, Le Circle Francois presents un tableau de Noel. Freshmen portrayed the parts in the sacred drama. Thomas Levin reads the story of the Nativity, according to St. Luke. John Gibbons enacts the part of St. Joseph; Mary Cartolano, of Our Blessed Lady. Dana Napier, Richard Woehlcke, and Lillian Hickey adore the new-born King. Echoes of Silent Night ring in all hearts as the happy excitement and expecta- tion of Christmas approach. Advent wreathes and Advent preparation in home- rooms . . . the lovely stable in the Chapel ... a Christmas tree towering high in the corridor . . . public Christmas Novena in school ... all prepare our hearts to welcome the Infant Saviour. Then comes Mid-Night Mass in our Churches . . . and strains of Happy Christmas sound everywhere. 35 Variety makes for interest It is «vident that Miriam Jaggard highly approves of the new voting machine on which she has just cast her vote for a straw man in the mock election that Wildwood Catholic held at the same time as the national elections. Thomas Wallace eagerly awaits his turn to look. Perhaps these young citizens will convince their elders of the economy and accuracy of using voting machines. Wildwood still uses the ballot system. Proudly Barbara Lanza exhibits her prize-winning project for the science fair. Mounted on a slab of wood are reproductions of insects’ heads. The bumble bee, mos- quito, house fly, and the butterfly pose gracefully for the camera. The project caused quite a flurry in the cor- ridor as Freshmen scurried away from the realistic- looking array. Our efficient Senior library aides have had such good training from Sister Frances Bernadette that they can keep the library running smoothly in Sister's absence. These girls have worked tirelessly and generously with Sister for four yeors. Shee calls them unsung heroes of W.C. Mary Ann Bowman, Miriam Joggard, ond Marilyn Sheppard form the trio. Behind Ilie scenes... Lights! Curtain! The Play is on! And smoothly the props fall into place, thanks to our hard-working, self-sacrificing stage hands, directed by the untiring efforts of Sister Clement. Her expert assistants are P. Nestor, J. Longobardi, W. Biondi, R. Young, J. Sabatino, and J. Lloyd. Though you are unseen, boys, we appreciate you. What is your choice, fast or slow? These boys are master technicians in the art of tape recording and record playing. Much of the success of our Friday night dances is due to Sister Marie Anita and her efficient helpers. Annette Solis seems to be enjoying the attention given to her by our make-up crew, Judy Cavalier, Mary Belsito, and Ann De Stefano. These girls are practicing on Annette in preparation for the big job they will do to the cast in the Senior Play, Murder in a Nunnery. 37 There is much confusion in Sergeant Mulligan's bedroom when an unexpected and peremptory knock interrupts the students' report of their private sleuthing job. “There’s not much choice between a ghost and Rev- rend Mother, screams Verity (Mary Frances Deets) as she jumps under the bed to join Turkey (Rita McAlarnen) and Prudence (Patricia Dunn). Inspector Mulligan (Mi- chael Herron) tries to cook up a good story to convince Reverend Mother that she did not hear the girls' voices in the Sergeant's room. It had better be a very good story. the mystery of Murder You know what that woman did? She put me in a dungeon. That’s what she did! Sergeant Mulligan accuses Mother Peck (Rita Cullen) who demurely bows her head and lowers her eyes. She knows that the dungeon was really the convent parlor. Reverend Mother (Josephine Cartolano) and the Inspector (William Coleman) look on in astonishment, as Sergeant Mulligan growls, “These women. Under the capable direction of Mr. Frank Feraco, the Senior class presented MURDER IN A NUNNERY.

The Inspector does not believe a word that Venetia is saying. Mrs. Moss (Sandra Kazlauskas) clasps her hands and struggles hard to hold back her fury and hatred of this girl who loves Mrs. Moss's son. Ouch, that hurts! Mr. Mulligan (Michael Herron) urgently shows the way out of the garden to two snoopers, Prudence (Pat Dunn) and Inez (Marie Di Silvestro). They are sure they know who the murderer is, but the Sergeant is not impressed by their stories. The Grand March begins, amid the dazzle and splendor of the evening. Leading the march of beauties is prom chair- man, Kathy Haas and her escort, Vic Hauber. Bill Fath, president of the Student Council, with Madalyn Bruhn, is heading the majestic walk too. Was it by accident that the soon-to-be-elected Prom Queen, Miriam Jaggard, accompanied by Pat Wall, found a place at the front? Suddenly it was April 7, and the long-dreamed- of Prom was a reality. Dozens of homes in South Jersey were buzzing with merry chatter as sons and daughters set off for Convention Hall in Cape May. After various detours along the way to visit Sisters and relatives, handsome couples swept into the ballroom to dance the night away. our prom...

Trim uniforms, complete to hob-nailed shoes, grace would-be Joe DiMaggios, and the show is on. An upsurge of spirit and enthusiasm plugged the team last year on to their best season. 1961 will top our last year's record, we hope. The senior members of the Crusader baseball team listen attentively as Pat Wall gives some expert advice on how to make this a winning season. V.

Coming as they do in Holy Week, they turn our minds more especially to that last journey along the Way of the Cross. As we ponder the Drama of Love, enacted by Christ, we are forced to ask ourselves, What am I doing in return for such love? Inevitably we form b ve resolutions to walk closer to Christ for the future. A sincere Confession is a vital part of a good Retreat. Junior boys seem to realize the seriousness of a good preparation and examination as they await their turn. The Reverent Silence of Retreat Quiet moments spent in home- rooms provide time for spir- itual reading, daily Rosary, and meditation. The Annual Retreat affords the students an opportunity for much soul- searching. Sacristans Patricia Cossaboon, Rita Fulginiti, Joan Murphy, and Patricia Olwell prepare the altar for Mass. These girls are aware of the great privi- lege that is theirs and they conduct themselves with dig- nity in this beautiful activity. brings pcacc of hear! Father Kuhl takes time out from his busy schedule as instructor of senior Religion and freshman Latin to help Anthony Matalucci with one of his problems.

One of the Letters to the Editor is especially comical and Mary Jane Mulligan enjoys a mirthful moment. Michael Herron points with pride to some clever headlines. Sister M. Clement tunes the boys in a warming-up exercise. Tones must be tempered, and the scores of many songs must be memorized before the spring Musicate is a well-balanced program. But the boys are eager and willing to go along. A solemn moment . . . Hearts filled with joy at this opportunity to pay tribute to our beloved pastor, Monsignor Crine ... A hush . . . The mood is caught . . . And young voices blend in the harmony of Glory, Glory! . . . And so we share in the Silver Anniversary celebration of Monsignor Crine's ordination to the Holy Priesthood.
