j£ ££ ‘QoocnQi; looip $ 3i)0(;je3 qooowii t £ £ lo umsim For seventeen years the citadel of Wildwood Catholic has loomed over the South Jersey shores. But, she is more than just a building. Her citadel is no higher than her ideals. Her beliefs are as solid as the foundation she is built on. Her spirit flows through the halls. The building and the faculty are the best. Consequently, there must be some inalienable quality which we think sets Wildwood Catholic apart from the average high school. Our motto is Fides et Scientia — Faith and Knowledge. This philosophy is brought into every phase of our education, both athletic and scholastic. This is what makes our school more than just a building! mm fflay ic support us all the Jay long HU Hie shades lengthen, and the cucning enmes, and the busy world is hushed, and the feuer of life is oner, and our work is done ’ Cardinal flewman Even though Father Kunzman is no longer teaching at Wildwood Catholic he has left his affable personality behind him. The students of Wildwood Catholic real- ize how fortunate those Brazilian children are to have such a dedicated priest teaching them. Wildwood Catholic knows it has suffered a great loss but it knows, too, that one of its members has chal- lenged the world and won. Our forefathers carved their world from the barks of trees and into the hearts of men, knowing that failure would mean destruction. Undaunted by their own nagging fears, these men fought for their ideals and won. Today's generation has no opportunity to 'tame the West' so America's young have turned their eyes toward the East, to Somalia, Burma, and Tanganyika. Soon the students of Wildwood Catholic will leave these reverential halls, hushed with dignity and bustling with emotion, to challenge the world. They will join the ranks of the adults, to succeed or fail, to be praised or criticized, but always, always, to try. 5 THE MOST REVEREND CEIESTINE J. DAMIANO ARCHBISHOP — BISHOP OF CAMDEN His excellency, The Archbishop Celestine J. Damiano, has, through his keen foresight, un- daunted courage and boundless zeal, headed our diocese prudently through the years. His fore- sight is demonstrated in the results of his en- deavors. His courage is recognized in his high ideals. His zeal is exemplified in his desire to make this diocese the very best. Wildwood Cath- olic has benefited greatly because of the Arch- bishop's generosity. We, the students of Wild- wood Catholic, thank the Archbishop for his ded- ication to us and wish him many continued years of service. 6 THE RIGHT REVEREND MONSIGNOR CHARLES P. McGARRY Superintendant of Schools Diocese of Camden The wise counseling of the Rt. Reverend Charles P. McGarry can always be counted on in our endeavors to crusade for higher ideals. His constant supervision throughout the diocesan schools has kept us up to date with the most modern educational facilities. By his guidance we are encouraged to climb to our academic goals and to achieve the highest possible standards of education. The Reverend William G. Mark, Secretary to the Superintendent of schools, provides excellent supervision so that we might have a broader view on education and a greater appreciation of our Chris- tian culture. REVEREND WILLIAM G. MARK Secretary to Superintendent of Schools Diocese of Camden £ht highest distinction is struice to others.” fting George 'tH 7 We, the students of Wildwood Catholic High School, are sheltered by the kind, tender, and forbearing attitude of our beloved Right Rever- end Monsignor M. Augustine Crine, V.F., P.A. Monsignor Crine is the guiding light by which we may steer our course. His inspiration, devo- tion, and tolerance have set the example for our future lives. He knows no other word but yes when asked for things which will aid us spiritu- ally and intellectually. Through Monsignor's love and understanding, he has won our admiration and acclaim. His devotion to his pastorial duties has gained for Monsignor his elevation to the office of Protonotary Apostolic, an award whereby the recipient becomes a member of the Holy Father's own household with all the incurring privileges. Among the greatest of these privileges is that Monsignor may officiate as a bishop on numerous occasions during the year. We, the students of Wildwood Catholic, offer our sincere congratulations, best wishes, and prayers to our beloved Monsignor. May God grant him many years to labor in His service. Montignor M. Augustin Crine, V.F., P.A., pastor of Saint Ann’s parish, demonstrates his generosity by counseling the students at the opening of the school year. Sister Louise Bertrand, principal of Wildwood Catholic High School and a sister of the Sisters of Saint Joseph, has guided our school for many years with firm yet loving hands. No matter how busy Sister is, she will always find time for her students. She good and generous heart, al- ways open tn charity, is a fountain that newer dries up.” St. jnhn $oseo 8 ) ■ I Sister Ann Cecilia teaches typing to the tune of music. Sister also gives instructions in stenography while finding time to look after the school lockers and to moderate the girls' basketball team. Sister Ann Leona, moderator of the Student Council, demon- strates the workings of the slide rule to her algebra class. Sister also teaches trigonometry and physics. Busy at work Miss Margaret Brennan, R.N., checks the students' health records. Miss Brennan also performs the duties of the school secretary. uri i.tv 10 Keep those tones up, says Sister M. Clement, moderator of the Glee Club and the Sodality. Music Appreciation and French complete Sister's roster. Mr. Frank Feraco, Director of For- ensic, studies the list of characters for the 1964 Senior Play, The Man Who Came To Dinner. Sister Frances Bernadette, school librar- ian, Is always on hand to fulfill our literary needs. Sister also instructs Re- ligion and Home Economics classes. Mrs. Walter W.

Sister Francis Irma, teacher of English III, instructs her class in the proper novel structure. Sister also teaches French I. Sister Francis Jerome, math teacher, measures a cylinder with a micrometer for her Algebra and Geometry classes. Sister also moderates the school yearbook. II At last the faculty of Wildwood Catholic can take a rest. With the Middle States Evaluation over the excite- ment and the anticipation have decreased to a minimum. A tremendous volume of blood, sweat, and tears was poured into the Evaluation by the faculty. For this, and many other services, the students of Wildwood Catholic say . . . Thank You! Mr. William Leahy makes final additions to his notes for his lecture in the P.A.D. classes. Mr. Leahy is also J.V. basketball coach, teaches Business Law and Consumer's Ed. Mrs. J. Locke instructs her American History class concerning the thirteen original colonies and the area which they occu- pied. In addition to this she also teaches developmental read- ing to Freshman and Juniors. Sister Mary Luke, English and typing instructress, sets the table for the lunches of the faculty mem- bers. Sister fulfills her job as head of the cafeteria faithfully. Mr. Frank McAlarnen gives the Crusaders a few tips for improving their game. Aside from being coach of our daunt- less team, he also teaches Driver's Education, boys' Physical Education, and health. 12 Sitter Mary Nicholas keeps busy teaching Latin and Business Forms. With this tight schedule Sister also finds time to take care of the chapel. Mrs. William Nichols looks over her girls' gym charts to check on the class's progress. Mrs. Nichols also teaches hygiene. Mr. William Nichols, General Math and Science teacher, is perplexed by the answers given on his History tests. Father Louis O'Meara, English and Religion teacher, expounds on the indicative and subjunctive moods of the copulative verbs. 13 Sitter Paul Mary obligingly demonstrates the intri- cacies of a compound -microscope. Besides instruct- ing Biology and Chemistry classes. Sister acts as moderator of the cheerleaders. mrs. John Reinhart, school dietician, prepares nutritious lunches for both the faculty and the student body. Mr. Daniel Price, school custodian, is always working to keep our school immaculate. Mr. Price also acts as chauffeur for the sisters’ bookbags. The students owe Mr. Price a vote of thanks for his devoted work. Father Thomas Piechocinski, Guidance Director, who sometimes conspires with the Freshmen against the Seniors, explains to his Religion IV class the foundations of Communism. Father’s guidance is more successful than his conspiring. 14 Mr. John Reinhart, industrial arts teacher, in- spects the wood shop's project for this year. Sister Rita Martin is pleased with her English classes' Shakespearean scrap books. Sister is also moderator of the National Honor Society, Stella Maris Chapter. Mr. Guglielmo Sabatini skillfully directs Wildwood Catholic's Glee Club to a superb performance in its annual Spring Musicale.

Father Joseph Rush, Religion II and III teacher, checks over his students' notes for the day's classes. rnorougit hi nf Caching. •rtrishrtl 15 Donna Cianfrogna Annscript—Co-Editor Richard Kita President Ann Marie Gibbons Vice-President Noel Tobin Notional Honors—President Dorothy Novak Annscript—Co-Editor Joseph Fox Crusader—Editor Charles Town Senior Play-Lead Ann Lloyd Cafeteria Aide Judith Onorato Accompanist Frances Heppard Library Aide Challenging the world with undaunted courage the Seniors of Wildwood Catholic forge their way forward into the great un- known. Each student must plot his own course and then follow it through. Our teachers have taught us patience; our parents have taught us love; our fellow students have taught us under- standing. With these intangible qualities, patience, love, and understanding we can conquer the world. If we can preserve these gifts throughout our lives, enjoying each day as it comes, we will then know what is meant by the expression: To teach is to love; to love is to understand. Mentors Susan Bilotti, Thea Vinci, Patricia McLaughlin and Linda Tabone are busy making their Easter outfits in their Home Economics (II) doss. Thea and Linda have a head start on Sue and Pat who are just pinning their patterns. CAROLYN ROSE ALTOPIEDI 4101 Atlantic Avenue Wildwood, New Jersey St. Ann Parish Christmas Play 3 . . .

With coats flapping and hair blowing the Seniors pose prettily on the newly-built J. F. Kennedy Beach Drive. 33 Senior rings at Wildwood Catholic represent not only the completion of four years of hard work but also the love and devotion which the faculty has always extended to its students. The insignia on the ring has a special significance for this year's Seniors. The T-Bar represents their hard work and the Lily denotes the rewards of a full and an en- riched life which are to come. Food for the hungry! That is the cry of these carefree Seniors as they descend the cafeteria stairs before heading for home. The cupcakes and sodas were a very welcome gift from tho faculty. Seniors literally jump for joy after receiving their school rings in a surprise ceremony in which they had expected a talk by Monsignor Le Bague. To everyone's delight Monsignor Le Bague really is French for ring. The hour of triumph has come. Four years of hard work are represented in the little boxes that these proud Seniors have just received. As the saying goes, “Good things come in small packages.” As these seniors await their turn to take the long walk down the aisle, they recall their joys and sorrows, pains and suffer- ings, which they endured throughout the years. After four years the Seniors have grown in faith and knowl- edge- the expressions of the true alma mater spirit of Wild- wood Catholic. With mortar boards cocked and diplomas in hand they are ready to meet any challenge. Graduation is the epitome of every student's life. A Senior looks upon his graduation from high school as the highlight of his life. However, he soon realizes that each day brings new trials, and wtih these trials come new and greater gradua- tions. Whether he is a college or a high school graduate is irrelevant. A student must do his best in all things, and consequently, he will be the best. These graduating seniors, experiencing the exhilaration of success, proudly hold in their hands a reward signifying their four wonderful years at Wildwood,Catholic High School. With the look of four years of joy and sorrow on their faces, the Seniors of Wildwood Catholic High School await the mo- ment of truth which will determine their future in the world. Catherine Gibbons Junior Representative Gregory Coffey Junior Representative Catherine Read Junior Representative Linda Branca Freshman Representative William Mahoney Sophomore Representative Michael Heppard Freshman Representative Gail De Francesco Sophomore Representative Sister Ann Leona Student Council Moderator From the first step a Freshman takes into Wildwood Catholic, each has the same goal: a future crowned with feats of glory. To achieve this, he must take one step at a time, just as the aspirants to knighthood in the Medieval Ages did. The first step to knight- hood, the page, is undertaken by the Freshman, for he must ac- quire the knowledge and honor of a true knight. The Sophomore becomes a squire by widening this knowledge through the various courses provided him in Wildwood Catholic. Looking ahead, the Junior realizes the arduous vigils he must keep to achieve his goal: the accolade of knighthood. It is after he becomes a knight that the student is able, through his experiences, to ride forth ... a full-fledged Knight, a Crusader for Peace. mm: As James Kelly places Shakespeare's Macbeth on the record player, Stephanie Young, Charles Pessagno, Fran- cis Lynch, Antoinette Nestor, Charles Carillo, Barbara Wilson, Ralph De Lanzo, and Mark Herron listen at- tentively to Macbeth's soliloquy.

While Rocco Di Sylvestro reads intently, Barbara Young helps Debbie Dembowski with the tape recorder. Joanne Gaffney looks on as Thomas Mairone tries to manipulate the projec- tor. George Brewster and Chris- topher Koob adjust the screen, as Kathleen Grablow plugs in the projector. Nicholas Riccio seems to be in a dilemma over the whole predicament. Wayne Owens, Hilary Cutler, James Walters, Vera Dodelyn, Margaret Gray, and Kathleen McGurk develop their reading abilities as James Lusby looks over the cards. 47 World History becomes more interesting when the area being discussed it pin- pointed on a map. Here we see Rocco Di Silvestro doing just that. Looking on are Michael McDonald, Sharon GraifF, Michael Heppard, Michael Lanza, Mar- garet Dougherty, and Susan McAlamen.

The development of a student must be not only the mental but also the spiritual. In every classroom in Wildwood Catholic High School such a philosophy is the basic foundation for good teaching. The students of our school are extremely fortunate to have a faculty that is devoted to the students' betterment. Patricia StefR gladly tells Agatha Cocci the price of her Wildwood Catholic book folder while Kenneth Wagner expresses astonishment. Joseph Daly searches into his pocket hoping to find enough money for the copybook purchased from Matthew McAlarnen. William Mahoney displays a Wildwood Catholic pennant in the background.

In the activities at Wildwood Catholic the student learns to give of himself. He learns, not only, how to lead, but also how to accept responsibility. The student is shown that extensive preparation is necessary in order to become a person of some worth. A visitor at Wildwood Catholic will find the students hard at work, each striving to do his part of the job. These students are true Crusaders for Peace, trying to better the school, and indirectly bettering themselves. SODALITY Noel Tobin is busy giving assignments to Patricia Corchiani and Catherine Gibbons regarding the House of Charity. These girls have worked faithfully promoting the good of this diocesan activity. Honor is given to the Blessed Mother as our 1965 May Queen places the garland crown upon that Blessed Head. The annual May Procession is held in the auditorium followed by Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament. Members of the Sodality practice Christmas Carols for their visit to the Crest Haven. At the piano are Dorothy Novak and Donna Cianfrogna. Grouped around are Noel Tobin, Joseph Fox, Gesinc Thoden and Katie Boyle. The Sodality is an intrinsic part of the spiritual life of Wildwood Catholic. Working with intan- gible qualities the Sodality has achieved great suc- cess during the past year. Under the guidance of our two moderators, Sister Louise Bertrand and Sister M. Clement, the Sodality has grown, not only in members, but also in spiritual experiences. There can be no doubt in any student's mind that the Sodality is, truly, the basic foundation upon which Wildwood Catholic is built. 54 CHRISTMAS PLAY Frank Leopoldo seems a bit peeved as he and Rita Strang discuss Mr. Willard's stubbornness con- cerning the true Spirit of Christmas. John Haslem sings a descant to Silent Night sung by Kathy Ewan, Donna Landry, Linda Baber, Mary Ann Chelou, Elizabeth Santinello, and Eileen McGurk, as they participate in the Junior Christmas Play. 55 Frank McAlarntn keeps a watchful eye on Ray McAlarnen, Charlie Town, Richie Woolston, and Edward Grassi, who are waiting in line for confession. As Paul Grassi leaves the chapel he gives the boys a con- fession is good for the soul look. The annual retreat gives the students of Wildwood Cath- olic an opportunity to review their past lives and to plan their future actions. During the retreat the chapel is the focal point of all activity. RETREAT An annual retreat is held each year at Wild- wood Catholic during Holy Week. This is the time for the students to recharge their spir- itual batteries. These days turn our minds to that last journey along the Way of the Cross. As we think of this Drama of Love, we are forced to ask ourselves, What are we doing in return for such love? Inevitably we form brave resolutions to walk closer to Christ. Through this union with Christ we are able to live a Catholic life. 56 A Cothy Gibbon� checks the latest listings on the bulletin board, Greg Coffey, Donna Magee and Jackie Tague glance at the books displayed in the guidance office for the students. In the Guidance Office, Sister R.ta Martin shows her approval as Father Tom reviews a Senior record. Mr. Leahy, new to the Department, watches the proceedings closely in order to pick up a few hints for proper Guidance procedure. MIIDMCE By cooperating with the Stu- dent Council officers throughout the year, the students of Wild- wood Catholic have maintained their high Middle-States Accre- ditation. These officers have kept our school an orderly place of learning. STUDENT COUNCIL Student Council members work together in a united effort to bring better student government to their Alma Mater. With the Student Council moderator, Sister Ann Leona, President Richard Kite and Vice-President Ann Marie Gibbons point out the rules and regulations of the school to the Freshmen council members. The Forensic Debates ore on again! Carol Dages, Father Tom, and John Manskia all agree with their team cap- tain, Anthony Solis, that Lyndon Johnson is the man for them. While Mrs. Locke tells her team members, Mary O'Donnell and Judith Onorato, that Barry Goldwater is sure to win Father Rush looks on as if he might have some inside information on the elections. Interest and natural ability are the basic requi- sites that a student must possess to become a member of Wildwood Catholic's award-winning Forensic Club. Through the years the Forensic has worked tirelessly to better its activity, not only in intra-school debates but also in intra-class debates as well. The Forensic Plays, which are an annual event at Wildwood Catholic, represent one of the brightest highlights of the school year. Our sin- cerest thanks are expressed to the moderators of the Forensic and especially to Mr. Frank Feraco, director of the Senior Play. FORENSIC Wall, what did you think of that phrase?'' queries Barbara Wilson, as she asks her pet iguana if that last sentence is strong enough to stump the champ. Joe Fox, in the weekly Forensic Debates moderated by Sister Francis Irma. Sister Rita Martin congratulates Ann Cavalier and Richard Kita on their forensic abilities. Ann, who does dramatic inter- pretations, won first prize in the Voice of Democracy Con- test and Richard won first place in the Friends of Recrea- tion Contest. 59 The Senior Play Cast smiles victoriously as the audience shows its ap- preciation for a job well-done. The memorable performance of The Man Who Came To Dinner proved to what heights our Seniors can climb. 60 Virtue is the performance of pleasant acting. Miss Pringle (Frani Heppard) is suddenly astounded as she answers the door and is confronted by aggressive Banjo (Edward Olwell) who literallly sweeps her off her feet. si james Stephens Richard Stanley (Richard Kita) enjoys demonstrating to Professor Metz (Pat La Rosa) the basic techniques of embracing Maggie (Barbara Goldsmith).

Discussing the agenda for the day are the moderators of the two publications and the Senior and Junior staff members. Ann Marie Gibbons, section editor of the Annscript, does some important work with the Whirl-a-Dex which contains the names of all the benefactors and subscribers to the Annscript. It looks like the co-editors are ready to skip town. Having seen the Van Dyke Proofs Donna Cianfrogna and Dorothy Novak agree that Mexico sounds just fine but Sister Francis Jerome reminds the girls of the Annscript’s limited funds. 62 Sharon Graiff poses prettily as Jimmy Bertsch squints through his camera. Chickie Pessagno watches Jimmy carefully in order to pick up a few hints. Marie Herron, page editor on the Crusader, interviews one of our new faculty members, Mrs. Nichols. Marie seems to have gotten some startling information regarding the girls' gym classes. Barbara Wilson, Glen Malec, Kathy Gibbons, Marjorie Curran, Claire Cotney, Carol Von Savage, Kathy Davis, Donna Landry, George Hegarty, Maureen Woolston, Barbara Vallese, and Joseph McAlarnen talk over their plans before going to the Villanova Press Conference. PUBLICATIONS Organizing a yearbook or a newspaper requires hard work and a tentative outline. A basic necessity for any publication is, of course, a moderator with undying patience and unfaltering humor. Fortunately both the Annscript (school yearbook) and the Cru- sader (school newspaper) are endowed with two such moderators. Sister Francis Jerome always has a clever remark to cheer a disheartened Annscript member and Sister Rita Martin can always find a smile to chase away the hobgoblins which haunt the Cru- sader staff. A dedicated staff can mean an excellent publication. The editors of the Annscript and the editors of the Crusader would like to say-Thank You-to their staff members. I Joseph Fox points out the fine techniques of newspaper writing, as Barbara Wilson, Frank Lynch, Ann Lloyd, Jana De Francesco, Grace Tropeo, and Marie Herron listen attentively to his helpful hints. 63 Sister Louise Bertrand extends a congratulatory hand to Noel Tobin upon her reception as President of the National Honors Society, Maris Stella Chapter. With Noel are the officers of the National Honors: Judith Onorato, Treasurer; Lorraine Kwoka, Secretary; and Donna Cianfrogna, Vice-President. Barbara Wilson and Joseph Fox, who have carried First Honors throughout their years at Wildwood Catholic, take time out from their studies to check their class notes. Sister Rita Martin, moderator of the National Honors Society, and Noel Tobin, President, read a few chapters from the “Iliad which will be used in a class discussion for the next Honors meeting. 64 ffiusin is an inexhaustible fnnt frnm tuhirh all of us nan be replenished.” Aaron Copland Junior and Senior Glee Club members prepare to go on stage for the annual Spring Musicale. Elaine Koffler and Louise De Stefano go over the music one more time, as Barbara Vallese, Betsy Cossaboon, Susan Kane, Catherine Gibbons, Claire Cotney, Carol Morey and Margie Curran try to fix that stubborn tiara and comb each other's hair. Engaging notes of music float periodically through the corridors as the 1965 Spring Musicale begins to take shape. Renditions of La Boheme and My Fair Lady are heard along with the strains of Yon's Regina Coeli. The Glee Club, under the instruction of Sister M. Clement and the direction of Guglielmo Sabatini, has labored for many months to present a pleasing and melodious program. A great amount of tedious work has been put into the Musicale's preparations by our accompanists, Judith Onorato, a Senior, and Kath- leen Pessagno, a Freshman. Our deepest thanks to all those who have helped to make our Musicale a success. Each year Wildwood Catholic presents an enjoyable program of popular and classical music. Without the co-operation of our Glee Club members such entertainment would not be possible. Sister Clement skillfully guides the Glee Club as Judith Onorato and Kathleen Pessagno play the accompaniment. Sister and the girls always give their time and effort willingly to make our Musicale a big success. 65 SENIOR PROM The Freshman Ball was a tremendous success no only because of the hard work of the Committee but also because of their lovely King and Queen, Jeffrey Gibbons and Sharon Griff. King and Queen of the Mardi Gras, Matthew Boyle and Theo Vinci, reign over the 1964 town festivi- ties. These affairs enable the students of Wildwood Catholic to have a more active participation in the functions of their community. Golden notes of music waft gently over the glittering couples as the 1965 Junior-Senior Prom takes its place in Wildwood Catholic's memories. Swirling clouds of glistening gowns swish rapidly over the mirror-like dance floor while the Chaperons sit on the sidelines awed by the vitality of the younger generation. A gala evening is enjoyed not only by the girls and their escorts but also by the musicians who add that 'special touch' to a wonderful evening. The decorations, which carry out the theme of the Prom, are resplendent against the even more beautiful dance floor of the Country Club. Pat Steffi, Mary Ann Linnamen, Jerri Fick, Christine Catanosa, and Kathy Mogck are the Sophomore Dance Committee elected by their fellow students. Here they are preparing a format for another suc- cessful production. 66 While the King of the Mardi Gras is not looking our Queen takes time out to pose formally for our photographer. Thea is a very friendly Queen, don’t you agree? It's early yet but many of the couples have already arrived for the social high- light of the school year—The Prom. Each year the Prom is held in the Wildwood Golf and Country Club. 67 Oh, those faithful Chapel Aides! Here Anna Lo Monoca, Mary Jane Fath, Kathy Read and Pat Corchiani are straightening up. Somehow Toni Nestor doesn't seem very enthused. Angelo Matrangola, Stefanie Young, Angela Di Mauro, and Louise De Stefano perform their various duties os Office Aides. These everyday tasks help to contribute to the beauty and organization of our school ofRce. Patricia Gray arranges some new arrivals to our up-to-date library while Frani Heppard reads a few lines from one of the latest novols. Barbara Goldsmith is busy checking in returned books while Kathleen McCartney and Mary Agnes Mahoney work to replace the books in their proper shelves. All set for summer fun, Jackie Tague proudly models Her beach shift at our annual Fashion Show. Many days of careful preparation and hard work enable the Home Economic students to wear their own creations In the show. Barbara Gregson models a coat and dress ensemble which she made in her Home Economics class. The Spring Fashion Show is the culmination of a year of cutting, sewing, and ripping out, but all the girls agree that It certainly Is worth it. Our Cafeteria Aides, Ann Lloyd, Pat Koeneke, Linda Tabone, Mary O'Donnell, Lyn Jenner, Judith Luglio, Marie Herron, and Jackie Tague are always willing to keep our faculty well-fed and happy. Maureen Woolston tosses the ball with ease and rhythm to score in two points for the Crusaderettes. GIRLS’ VARSITY BASKETBALL The Varsity team of Wildwood Catholic has always evidenced those two qualities for which our school stands: Faith and Knowledge. These girls have faith in their athletic skill and, most of all, they have the knowledge which makes a good team great. When our girls step onto the basketball court we know that their conduct, their sportsmanship, and their skill will win the game. The student body of Wildwood Catholic would like to express their thanks to the Girls' Varsity team for their devotion to our school.

The Varsity and J.V. girls basketball teams are awaiting the starting game with Mainland Regional. Varsity and J.V. Cheerleaders practice for an upcoming game. Captain Cheryl Krouse supervises as B. Girard, J. Cuddy, M. Curran, and R. Ascolese attempt to leap over L Jenner, M. O'Neill, D. Landry, and P. Asselta. T. Woehlcke, L. Cicalese, and P.

TRIBUTE 78 On January 25, 1965 Miss Margaret Brennan was called to her final reward. The class of nineteen hundred and sixty-five has lost a friend, an advisor, and a nurse. During the fifteen years that Miss Brennan was at Wildwood Catholic she endeared herself to everyone—faculty and students alike. Sister Louise Bertrand, principal and the one who knew her best recalls, I can never remem- ber Wildwood Catholic without Miss Brennan. We teased her, we sought her help, we loved her!! She was so human—so cognizant of human frailities—so in love with life! Really good, very patient, very kind! She knew no jealousy; she made no parade of her goodness. I never found her rude,- never selfish; seldom irritated; she was gladdened by goodness (especially the good- ness of the Wildwood Catholic youth); she was always slow to expose anyone and then only when she felt a greater good would come of it. Always eager to believe the best (again of the jeunesse of Wildwood Catholic); always hopeful; always patient. Miss Brennan was the living counterpart of St. Paul's definition of Love. Some of the students wrote their tributes in verse: Possibly she wore a frown Though I doubt it very much; A smile was really more her type, Nothing more than such. Forever—she is gone now. No longer will we see That cheerful laugh, that kindly smile That always used to be She was a woman. She died as she lived. As she lives now—in peace And we like that . . . Y'see—we loved her At the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass the entire student body pays its respects to Miss Brennan. The Brennan family also attended Mass in the auditorium with the students. Far Left: Among the many faculty members who chaperon the Junior-Senior Prom can be seen the friendly, smiling face of Miss Brennan. Both students and faculty members will miss her presence at this year's prom. Left: Here we see the late Miss Brennan taking part in one of the various activities in which she participated. Miss Brennan chaperoned each year at the Senior Prom with other members of the faculty. “What was given us here... we shall keep.” 79 €his is not the end, it is not cuen the beginning of the end.
