hen Father Hughes came to Notre Dame in 1974 to replace Father Joseph Thul as principal, he 路 saw that the school was in dire need of progress. He envisioned what the total picture of the school could be, and worked for the past fourteen years to achieve this goal. Though he must leave us now because his talents as a parish priest are needed by the diocese, the total picture he created will remain as a lasting tribute to his work here. During his stay at Notre Dame, Father Hughes strove for the excellence of a total education in all areas, including academics, extracurricular activities,. and community service.

His Unique Vision By: Denise Liedtka

2/Dedication

"When Father Hughes arrived, he brought with him an outstanding spirit . I am happy to say his spirit caught ort and soon it permeated (the lives of) the faculty and students," said Math Department Chairperson and long:..路 time faculty member Sister Marie Jose. Notre Dame alumnus and administrative assistant David Milinowicz attributed the excellent status of Notre Dame to Father Hughes. " Father Hughes will be remembered not only as the Notre Dame principal that was here the longest, but also as the principal who accomplished the most. The tremendous improvements in staff, curriculum, school facilities, finances, and extracurricular activities during his

tenure can be directly attributed to hfs energy and dedication. His business acumen is as sharp as his wit, and was responsible for the revival, if not the survival, of Notre Dame, in what seemed like troubled times in the mid70's. It would be inaccurate to say that Father Hughes kept his hand on the pulse of Notre Dame; he was the pulse of Notre Dame," said Mr. Milinowicz. According to English Department Chairperson and friend Patricia Leoniec, Father Hughes' role as principal has allowed him the power to influence the total picture's focus, depth, and color. "The enlightened principal seeks the perfect balance of all the elements that make up the total picture - the c lassroom, the sports arena, the theater, the community, and the home. His influence extends beyond the campus; it is impossible to estimate where his influence stops," said Miss Leonie c . In addition to altering and improving路 the physical face of the building, aspects that are commonly highlighted, Father Hughes enriched the attitudes of everyone Involved with the school. "He has held such vital positions as school principal, pastor, counselor, and most importantly, friend," said Dean of Discipline and close friend Mr. David Kelly . "He has assumed these crucial roles not only for me, but also for the parents," added Mr. Kelly . According to Mr. Kelly, Father Hughes challenged the teachers to be more than what they already were . He encouraged them to contribute to the betterment of the school and community by sharing their talents, whether they be teaching, coaching, or artistic talents. "He set a communal goal and invited the faculty and students alike to strive for excellence," said Mr. Kelly . Taking into consideration his numerous obligations, Father Hughes was always very much in demand, but he still made time for everyone who needed him. For the students, Father Hughes took on the role of pastor. For a great number of students, he was the only priest with whom they had contact. He also served as counselor, offering guidance on a variety of topics. "When someone was in trouble, Father Hughes was always killing to help. He never refused anyone . In a sense, he created a family with himself as the head," said Mr. Kelly. Father Hughes' relationships were so vibrant because he made his presence so well-known . Every morning, he stood in the Main Office to welcome the faculty . At the end of every day, he stood on the ramp to talk with students as they left school. This was in addition to his walking the halls between classes and visiting students during their lunch periods . "Father

Hughes focused primarily on the wellbeing of the students. His organizational and personal skills allowed him to keep tabs on all facets of the school, seeing that they functioned for the benefit of the individual student,'' said Director of Guidance Kathleen Cevera . Sister Jose also commented on Father Hughes' astounding communication skills. "Many t imes, Father has surprised me by remembering the names of so many students. Compassion, thoughtfulness, and dedication to education are just a few of his outstanding qualities," said Sister Jose. Father Hughes also recognized the necessity of student involvement with the school. In a Lawrence Ledger series on area athletic directors, Vince Ardery was commended for the success of Notre Dame's sports teams. However, he was quick to note the important part Father Hughes played in this success. "Our success starts with Father Hughes, and his philosophy works its way down through the administration and the approach to activities," said Mr. Ardery . This attitude that Father Hughes instilled in the Athletic Department spread to alf extracurricular activities, including the literary publications, the performing arts program, the clubs, and student government . As an educator, Father Hughes continually asked the faculty to update and refine the curriculum . He has always welcomed growth in all areas of education. "Father had great insight into the changes coming up in the business world. Thanks to him, we were equipped with computers and word processors before many schools were willing to accept the challenge. As a result, we were one of the first schools in the state to teach entire classes on the network system. Our department has certainly benefited greatly due to . Father Hughes' progressive ideals," said Business Department Chairperson and veteran faculty member Mary Stoka . The Business Department was not the only one to benefit from Father Hughes' insight. Mr. Richard Loatman, the man to whom we can attribute much of the growth and success of our Performing Arts Department, said that such advancements could never have been made without the help of Father Hughes. This is true not only of the Theater Arts program, but of every program in the school. "There are many people who know, few who understand, and only a couple who know what to do. Father Hughes is one of those rare and unique ones," said Mr. Loatman. In addition to being everything already mentioned, Father Hughes is most importantly a priest with obligations to the Church . Although his primary function at Notre Dame had been

as principal, all of his work here had been centered around a pastoral ministry. Therefore, he was well prepared )o move on to a position as a parish priest. This move had been mandated by Bishop John Reiss, who had decided that someone in a special ministry, such as a school principal, could serve no more than three, three-year terms. We were fortunate enough to have Father Hughes for an additional five years. Father Hughes' fondest wish was that Notre Dame's progress continue. He does not necessarily want the school to remain the same, but to continue in its growth, always enhancing the total picture . Father Hughes had taught us not to be afraid of change but to welcome it openly. Because of his vow of obedience, we all must accept his leaving and continue to grow. "We shall miss Father very much, but we are all blessed for having had the opportunity of being a member of his family," said Sister Jose. Vice-principal Sister Mary Harold summed up Father Hughes' work by saying: "Father Hughes can sign his signature with pride to a beautiful picture of a vibrant, dedicated community of faith. His 'Total Picture', his vision, was to form a 'loving, caring, serving community of faculty and students reaching out and touching the prE;sent and the future. I feel that the Lord looks gratefully upon his achievements here and says, "Well done, good and faithful servant.''

FITTING INTO

If a stranger were to walk down one of the crowded corridors of Notre Dame, he could not help but notice the vast assortment of individuals who make it what it is today. Students filter into Notre Dame from 27 neighboring townships. They have different needs and goals, and therefore, different reasons for attending this school. Yet, each possesses special talents that contribute to the school, allowing them to fit in and become part of our total picture. Notre Dame welcomes students of all denominations. In recent years, the trend of strictly graduates of Catholic grammar schools attending Notre Dame has been on the decline. Since transportation is no longer a major deciding factor in determining what high school to attend, Notre Dame has become a more feasible choice, even to students who live townships away . The school handbook best states the admittance policy of the school : " The Notre Dame High School admits students of any race, color, national, and ethnic origin to all the rights, privileges, programs and activities, generally accorded or made available to students at the school."

But what is the strong attraction of Notre Dame? For some it is the reputable academic standards, for others the strong

athletic teams, and still for others, it is the fine arts department. Notre Dame represents the traditional image of the wellrounded school that has something for everyone. Whatever the initial attraction, it is the learning atmosphere, the spirit of the school, and the faculty and staff that make the students want to remain here. Mark Payton, a new junior at Notre Dame, transferred from a nearby school. He has only positive feelings about the school. "I love it a lot. I find it easier to get along with the people. I am glad I made the change,'' said Mark . Mark's enthusiasm represents the attitude of many Notre Dame students. Other students came to Notre Dame to escape the discipline problems that their parents feel are prevalent in the public schools. Many were seeking more personalized teaching attitudes. "Teachers seem to care more here," said senior Corina lmmoridino. According to Corina, Notre Dame has an attractive learning atmosphere and she wanted to take advantage of that. Whatever their reasons for coming, the students at Notre Dame are like pieces of a puzzle that fit together to make this school the best that it can be.

THE PAST IS PART OF

By Denise Liedtka

While for some reaching 30 is a crisis, for Notre Dame it was a celebration . From the Homecoming game and festivities of October 23, to the Mass and dedication of the Alumni Memorial Chapel, it was a weekend filled with fond memories and bittersweet rememberences. The annual Homecoming festivities took place during halftime at Friday night's football game. Last year's queen, Beth Ardery, crowned this year's winners, Kim Hutchinson and Steve Tackacs. After being crowned, the Homecoming couple took their victory ride around the field . While we were celebrating the anniversary of the school, we also reflected on a more solemn occasion, the dedication of the Alumni Memorial Chapel. The dedication began with a Mass in the auditorium said by Father Hughes and Father Dennis. After the Mass, everyone was invited to the Chapel for the blessing of the shrine of Our Lady, in memory of deceased alumni, faculty, and students. At the foot of the statue, which was donated by Bishop Ahr, 113 white carnations were placed in memory of each deceased member of the alumni and faculty . A single red rose was put in the center in memory of Robert Schaumloeffel, a senior who had died only days before the dedication.

This service was especially meaningful to Father Dennis, who was responsible for completing many of the Chapel renovations. The drapes behind the statue of Our Lady in the shrine were hand sewn by Father Dennis's mother. Money donated by the alumni was used for purchasing new carpeting and chairs. To close the dedication ceremony, Sister Mary Harold sang the hymn, Hail Mary: Gentle Woman. Music for the day's activities was provided by Mrs. Sewnig, Mrs. Ivins, Mr. Shaw, ' and Sr. Harold. In addition to being a solemn occasion, the Anniversary 1 celebration brought back past memories of the school . , Because they are the most obvious, memories of the original building were most prevalent. Since 1957, Notre Dame has undergone a number of structural changes. When Cathedral High School close<;! in 1973, I a great number of students transferred to Notre Dame. Because of this, the school had to run on split sessions for one I year. During the next year a new wing was added to the I building. This new wing is known to us as the upstairs A and B . corridors. Notre Dame had originally been built with the intention of future expansion, and this was a time that desperately required growth._

.l I

Structural alterations are not the only changes Notre Dame has undergone. In its earlier years, Notre Dame prepared its students for domestic life with such classes as Home Economics, Fashion Design, and Bachelor Survival. These classes were as important to students then as our computer classes are to us now. Another difference between the Notre Dame of yesterday and today, is the severity of the discipline codes. In the 1950's, men had to pull out chairs for the women in the dining hall, and never could you eat a banana without cutting it with a knife. There is still a strong discipline code that controls student conduct, but it is not as harsh as in the past. Student involvement with clubs has been basically the same through the years. Most of the clubs that were popular in the 1960's are still popular today, including the Red Cross Club and the Debate Team. But others have ceased to exist, such as the Sodality Club, a woman's social club and the Kennel Club. Cheerleading has always been a popular activity, and in 1966, it included a team of male cheerleaders. Most of the changes made to Notre Dame were made in the name of progress. Often we ask the question; "Why must there be change?" Now we know the answer; there must be growth in order to complete the Total Picture.

Seniors are offered many courses that challenge them academically. One course that demands not only academic excellence but also spiritual achievement is the Honors Religion Service Course. The Service Program, which is a crucial part of this course, gives seniors the chance to help wherever necessary in their community. A senior that accepts this challenge is expected to complete a total of 12 hours per quarter participating in various service programs, which are developed and organized by the students. These programs are also supported by seniors that are enrolled in a basic Religion course. Although

non-honors seniors are required to complete only 3 hours of service per semester, they are encouraged to take part in as many projects as possible. "Project Freedom" was one of the most successful projects this year. Project Freedom is an organization that provides facilities that will allow the physically handicapped to live in their own apartments. To raise money for this organization, Notre Dame students participated in a bikeathon. Each student was sponsored for the distance they rode, and the total amount raised by Notre Dame participants was $150.00. The money was used to equip the handicapped with stoves, sinks, and other appliances that can be reached from a wheelchair. The Senior Service Program also provides students with opportunities to work with the elderly and the young. This year they held ice cream socials at nursing homes, and several

students volunteered to spend time with lonely senior citizens. For the young, the senior service projects included a Halloween party for unmatched children from Mercer County's Big Brothers/Big Sisters program. These are children from one-parent families who need someone older to spend time with them. The honors service course was started eight years ago by Mrs. Judy Salcewicz. "It started out very small; now we have approximately 70 students involved in the honors program alone. We also try to pull in non-honors students to help in the projects," explained Mrs. Salcewicz. . The honors students feel that the service program is broadening their experience and making them feel good about themselves. "I became involved in the service program so 1 could give my help in the community," said Senior Brian Barnock. "After the projects started I realized how nice it feels to help those who need it. I recommend this class to anyone who feels they will be able to take the time out to help." Brian is an honors student who gives more than the required 12 hours of service per quarter. Like all of the students in the program, he is very excited about helping others. 9

PROBLEMS FiniNG INTO

By Suzanne Bowling, Denise Liedtk a 10

Have you ever wondered why so many Notre Dame juniors and seniors were seen walking down Lawrence Road every morning earlier this year? You may have been a little bit confused until you realized that these students had two things in common - a driver's license and no parking place in the school lot. These seniors and juniors parked on the side streets off Lawrence Road and walked a block or two to school. The shortage of spaces resulted from a change in the parking policy this year. Use of the back lot was discontinued, leaving only 130 spaces. Because of the shortage, the administration decided that only seniors would have parking privileges. Unfortunately, even this did not leave enough spaces for 360 seniors. The back lot was originally not in use this year. according to Mr. Kelly, because the Lawrence Township Police and the Notre Dame administration felt it was unsafe. Students were driving fast

and the gravel presented a danger. Last year, someone was hit in the face with a stone that flew up from under a wheel. The spaces were assigned on a first-come. first-served basis. Denise Liedtka was the first student at Mr. Kelly's office door and got space number one. Tonya Serpikov was the lucky senior to路 get the last space, number 167. The only chance remaining seniors had was to hope that someone would lose his privilege, but the waiting list was forty students long. By the end of October, the new parking lot policy had to be changed; area home owners on the local side streets had complained of crowded streets and other inconveniences. As a result, the back lot had to be opened. According to Mr. Kelly, the parking lot situation may need to be altered again. At this point, is still undetermined what the policy will be for the future, but hopefully it will be accomodating all of the students.

WRAPPING UP

~~ "Athletic trainers are people who are involved in the prevention and care of the athlete's injuries," said Mr. William Martin, Notre Dame's certified athletic trainer. He heads an ~, after school program for students interested in becoming athletic trainers. These students assist Mr. Martin by administering first aid to injured athletes. Notre Dame is one of the few high schools that has a program like this, a ''model program'' as Mr. Martin .describes it. To be an athletic trainer, there are no prerequisites. "The students need to show an interest and the time (they are willing to spend) is very important; they also must be ready to learn," said Mr. Martin. Learning the necessary skills means attending Mr. Martin's course after school for two hours per week. The trainers learn about the human anatomy, the muscles, bones, first aid, CPR, and sportsrelated injuries. After they have learned the basics, they are ready to go out on their own, to stand on the sidelines during the games and practices, and assist the players when needed. The time that athletic trainers spend at the games, during practices, and in the training room is called their "contact hours". A trainer is required to have a total of four contact hours per week, not including the hours spent in classes. Many students put in more than four hours a week, sometimes up to sixteen or eighteen hours a week. Out of the 40 students who participate in the athletic training program, 25 of them take an additional course after school in sports medicine. According to Mr. Martin, the sports medi-

cine course is used to promote a better understanding of sports medicine and to promote career choices in sports medicine. Athletic trainers become members for a variety of reasons and the career aspect is one of them. "I am interested in sports medicine. I want to be a trainer for a pro football team," said freshman Fred McDonald. "I like doing it because I want to make it my career." Other students are involved because of the experiences they are gaining or just because they want to help others. "I did it because it was fun and the time you spend is worth it. I also did it because I wanted to meet new people," said sophomore Maureen Madden. The students who participated in the athletic training program receive a certificate and a varsity letter each year. Those who successfully complete the sports medicine course also receive five academic credits.

Who Is The Teacher Now? "Sometimes, though not often enough, we reflect upon the good times and our thoughts always center around those we love. And we count the times we have forgotten to say thank you and just how much we love you ." These words are taken from an old song by the Carpenters . You probably haven't heard much of their music but we want to share these words with you, with the hopes that through your dying you may now teach us . Although some of us had the opportunity to see you only at lunch or in the hall, we watched you and you always had a smile for everyone you met . You were a person who knew when to have a good time - and when you did, you gave it 100% . We saw you as a caring friend, always giving of yourself to others - bringing out the best in them, wanting them to experience all they could out of life. You even asked for permission one day to make your friend laugh - you loved to hear him laugh . On October 20, Rob, we witnessed your class respond to the news of your death . From that noisy cafeteria, to a quiet, reflective, tear-filled auditorium, we saw them respond in care and love for one another, just the way you would have done if you were here. Yes, you taught us that your classmates are young men and women able to handle the realities of life . We can go on and on, but I guess Rob, what we're trying to say is that we want to thank you for a lot of things . Maybe the best way to express ourselves is by saying thanks for being you. Thanks for teaching us what the good things are in life. We know you're in heaven and that you have reached the fullness of life. Who is the teacher now? I guess we all know the answer to that question . Thanks Rob, we'll miss you and, Rob, we love you.

Kyte's Flying High By : Suzanne Bowling They say lightning doesn't strike the same place twice, but Mrs. Kyte and 11C set out to defy those odds. Perhaps it was Mrs. Kyte's tremendous team spirit and leadership that guided her homeroom to its second consecutive victory, or perhaps it was the students of 11C themselves, who also won last year as contestants on Mr. Schultz's Let's Make A Deal. Whatever it was, the teachers or the students, it was a winning combination. Going along with the Junior theme of History 路 of the World Part IV, they reenacted the creation of the world by changing the Garden of Eden into a . football field, with a team of female

As they practiced, the football was an actual pig until the players decided to make the ball out of pigskin . Although a game was not played, Notre Dame would obviously be the winner. Not to be excluded from mention are Mrs. Kaplan's 11K, who won second place, and Mr. Keefe's 11A, who came in third. The spirit and creativity of the Juniors was very evident this year, which is one of the reasons Blue and White Day was so successful .

Juniors On Wheels By: Suzanne Bowling Aaah, to be a junior! No worries about college, no worries about being a frosh, and finally considered an upper-classman! The class of '89 decided to celebrate the beginning of their junior year with a September Skating Party held at Kendall Park Roller Rink. All grade levels were invited to share in the celebration . "There weren't a lot of people there, but I think everybody had fun. It was weird to be on skates because most people haven't skated for years and it was funny to watch." said Junior student government member, Lisa Scorsolini. "Great, fun, and different," were comments made by those who attended. According to all those involved, it was a great activity to get the year rolling .

Junior Dating Dilemma By: Chris Zullo Help! Many problems, including PSA T's, the goals of college, friends, parents, and of course dating, are major concerns of many Juniors. Academic problems aside, the average 16-year-old who wants to date that special someone has more to deal with than being rejected. Going on a "date" when one is a Junior is not always an easy task. Once a couple meets and decides to date, the next question they usually face is: how will we get where we want to go? If both Juniors do not drive, the question becomes difficult to answer. Juniors want freedom and independence,

yet are often forced to look to others to help them get around. According to Junior Sandy Rife, she has had to rely on others to get her and her boyfriend around. It puts a real strain on the relationship. "I never see my boyfriend during the week since he doesn't drive yet. Even on the weekends, it is hard to get together,'' said Sandy. Parents and friends are called upon to taxi couples to school functions, the mall and movie theaters. Junior Vanessa Johnson sees the problem many of her friends have to face, even though the transportation

problem does not affect her directly. "Once you have experienced the freedom of having a boyfriend who drives, it would be hard to adjust to not having it,'' she said. Junior Suzanne Bowling said her boyfriend drives and it brings a deeper sense of maturity to the relationship. Still the problem remains for many Juniors who can not yet drive. The question, "How can we get there?" can sometimes be answered simply, but not always at the convenience of everyone involved.

Some examples of gossip that float around school are : M.L. is obsessed with O.M. but O .M. doesn't even know she's alive; C .J. is going out with P.K. to make V.L. jealous, but V.L. is going out with F.M. to make P.K. jealous; K.C . dyed her hair brown because S.T. said he didn't like brunettes.

Give Me A Ring By : Jen Marue And Suzanne Bowling On December 7, the Junior class shared a very special evening . During a ceremony centered around the theme of friendship, members of the class received their rings . The traditional mass was celebrated by Father Hughes and the Bible readings were given by student government members Jen Magson, Brian Duff, and Lisa Scorsolini . After Communion, Father blessed the rings, which were in baskets on the stage, and the Juniors were called up by homerooms to receive them . The ceremony ended fittingly with a song called "Friends" . Juniors then began a search to have their rings turned 89 times, symbolizing their graduation in 1989. While they were not too discriminating about who made turns one through 88, most Juniors saved the 89th turn for that "special someone''. With their rings as a symbol of unity and friendship, the Juniors know that "a lifetime's not too long to live as friends" .

. 路And Now For Our Commercial Break By: Jim Hammerstone The 1987 Blue and White Day for sophomores brought wifh it an array of spirited homerooms decorated to the theme of " . . . and now for our commercial break". This year's first place honor was taken by 10C, Mrs. Lynch's homeroom. The room was lit with bright stars and Christmas Lights that were placed behind the blue, papered blackboards. Spirit leaders surrounding a giant piano led the class in a victory cheer following the McDonald's style of "Mack the Knife" . The skit climaxed with the entrance of varsity-suited players, cheered by fans from the audience. Second place was awarded to 10H, Mrs. Sewnig's homeroom. Bill McDonald on the bass guitar and Mrs. Sewnig on the six-string led the class in a Notre Dame victory chant to the theme from "Sprite". Then the bass broke away

with the theme from "Wipeout", and several football players burst into the room. Sean McConnell unleashed a touchdown pass to Nicole Mingo to wipe out McCorriston. The third place honor was bestowed on 10K, Mrs. Riley's homeroom, for their skit which used the idea of the Glad Garbage Commercial to show the victory of the "hefty, hefty, hefty" Notre Dame football team over the ''wimpy, wimpy, wimpy" McCorriston team . An honorable mention was given to 10A, Mr. Dennehy's homeroom, for their public service announcement demonstrating the advantages of a good private school, like Notre Dame, over the stereotyped "Burnout High". The skit was summed up in the slogan, "Notre Dame and you . . . perfect together".

Little Big Shots The transition from grammar school to high school can be difficult but achieving top rank is even harder. Yet, Jim Hammerstone, Kristen Kusek and Debbie Novato have done so. Through a year of extensive work, these students achieved the highest grade point averages in the sophomore class. This ranking was based upon their cumulative GP A from freshman year. "I worked hard last year. Receiving

the highest rank in the class was very rewarding," said Jim Hammerstone. Jim is a writer for the Canticle. He also works at Creative Music Studios in West Trenton. Jim enjoys playing the piano and keyboards. He also plays baseball. Kristen Kusek plays on the Girls' V arsity Soccer Team; she earned her position on the varsity team freshman year. "Making a varsity team as a freshman was great; achieving the

On Her Toes By : Mary Anne Gocke Sophomore Stacy Spedick has been practicing ballet since she was five. Last summer she took ballet classes five days a week ; during the school year, she takes an average of three classes a week . Taking ballet for ten years meant a lot of sacrifices. Because ballet is such a time-consuming activity, Stacy hasn't been able to take part in any after-school activities or sports. This year, for the third year in a row, Stacy performed in the Atlantic City Ballet's production of the Nutcracker, the traditional Christmas ballet. This meant that every Wednesday, after getting home from school, she did her homework until 3 o'clock, then left for Atlantic City, not to return home until 9 or 10 o'clock at night. She had a number of roles this year, including a soldier, a snowflake, a flower, and a marzipan. All of this makes for a busy schedule . But her ballet has not kept her from being an honor student at school . According to Stacy, besides making sacrifices on her social life, she has withstood physical pain and anguish . She says that although she has never been seriously injured, her pulled muscles and battered feet are enough to make her aware of the physical strain . Even though ballet makes numerous demands on her, Stacy says she loves it. "Sometimes I think about quitting, but it's the greatest high for me when I dance, and it's worth all the pain and the sacrifices to see (the results of) . something you do so well," concludes Stacy.

If You Had Just One Wish By : Denise Liedtka "It is better to give than to receive" is a motto we are all supposed to live by . But, there is nothing better than waking up on Christmas morning to see that Santa has brought you that special something you have longed for all year. Last December, two weeks before Christmas, the Sophomore class was surveyed to find out what their ideal Christmas present would be . Sophomores, only a year or two away from getting their driver's licenses, were expected to say that a car would be their perfect gift. This estimate was correct in that 45% of those who filled out the survey said

106

that a new car would be their ideal Christmas present. The most popular car on the students' lists was a Porsche, preferably a red 911 turbo. Other car hopes included Lambourghinis, Mercedes, and Ferraris. More realistic wishes were for Fieros, Mustangs, and a Volkswagen Kharman Ghia. Second on the Sophomore Christmas lists was a date with the person of their dreams. For many, the ideal date would be their class "hunk" or "hunkette". Other dream dates would be with such people as Samantha Fox, George Michael, Patrick Swayze, Bono, Charlie Sheen, and the senior

class's own Jerry Wargo . Other popular gifts included vacations to Hawaii, the Bahamas, Australia, and Europe. Sophomores also asked for money, clothes, and on a more serious scale, World Peace . Three sophomores said their ideal gift would be a very bizarre one, the power to move things with their minds. Kathleen Fallon also deserves to be mentioned for her ideal gift, which seemed to be the most original, a lifesized Elvis doll. Whatever their ideal gift might have been, either realistic or unrealistic , the sophomores showed a lot of creativity in their answers.

Who's Your Hunk Or Hunkette? By : Denise Leidtka Last winter, on a very light scale, a survey was sent out to the sophomores asking the question, "Who would you vote to be the Sophomore Class Hunk and Hunkette?" The survey was in no way intended to determine the prettiest girl, or the most handsome guy, but only to get

an opinion from the Sophomore Class. The survey was not based solely on physical attributes, but also on personalities and overall attitudes. There was no overwhelming winner in either category, for the contenders kept the race close to the very end . It seemed as though each sophomore

Paste Picture Here

had a special someone for whom they voted. The top vote-getters were Mark Buffato, Kim Bombery, Dana Catarinchia, Beth Ann Davis, Brian Eller, Meg Huggins, Lisa Lugossy, Sean McConnel, Marcus Panzitta, and Jomar Statkun. Over 70% of the class responded with valid answers, which was very surprising because there was only a oneday time limit given to respond. This was the first time that such a survey was given to underclassmen, but it seemed to go over very well. On the day the survey was handed out, in just about any given class, sophomores could be heard whispering to their friends. "Who did you vote for?" The answer was widely varied among all of the students. but the idea was generally accepted by all.

Freshman Are People Too By: Jenn McMahon "Ugh, freshman!" This is a frequent comment you might hear if you walked down the hall in September. As the youngest members of N.D., these students are often stereotyped as short little kids trying to find their way around but tripping over their shoelaces. However, this is a definite myth; freshmen are aware of and concerned with what is going on at school. To allow freshmen to voice their opinions and views on some schoolrelated topics, a survey was taken in November. When asked if it was confusing to find their classes in the beginning, 70% said they were fine, while 20% said it was easy and 10% said it was hard. "The change from grammar school to high school was a big one, especially in academics," said one student. Seventy-six percent of the freshmen

BoHom Righi/ POLL PARTICIPANTS: For the first time in many years Freshmen have been asked to express their opinion in the Canticle. Questions they responded to included. "What is your favorite class?" and "How do your high school classes compare in difficulty to those you had in grammar school?"

surveyed felt that their classes are of normal difficulty, 12% said they were hard, 6% remarked that their classes are very hard, and the other 6% agreed their classes are easy. Favorite classes are a big issue with freshmen, 路and the percentages were close. However, 40% of the freshmen voted Public Speaking as their favorite elective, with Physical Science coming in a close second. Twenty-two percent of the students liked Religion, which placed third in the favorite class category. "I really like Religion class, Mrs. Martin is a great teacher. Notre Dame should be proud of her!" said one student. Math received 20% of the vote with Language and English tying at 9% each. The dress code causes a lot of commotion at Notre Dame, and for some freshmen, especially those who come

from public schools, it was hard to adjust. When asked if they like the dress code, 50% of the freshmen said it wasn't bad, 26% said they hated it, and 24% of the students said it was good for a school uniform. Regardless of their opinions about classes and uniforms, most students responded favorably about attending N.D. Sixty-four percent of the freshmen were either "very enthusiastic" or "enthusiastic" about attending Notre Dame; 32% had an "o.k . feeling" about Notre Dame; only a mere 4% responded that it is boring. "I find the extra-curricular activities a good asset to the school," said one student. Another freshman said, "The education taught here is fantastic, I can feel very confident about my studies."

World Class By : Catherine Kovacs The theme for Freshmen for Blue and White Day was "Freshmen Around the World". Each homeroom took the judges to a different country. and sometimes on a trip through time to the past, present, or future . All of the classes put much effort into their skits, but there were only three winners. First place went to 9C, Mrs. Ellen Dondero's homeroom, who took us back to Ancient Egypt with Cleopatra and the Notre Dame football players. Mrs. Mary Lynn Martin's homeroom, 91, came in second place, for producing a skit that hosted a trip to the North Pole to visit Santa and his reindeer. Third place was captured by 9F, Miss Donna Lynch's homeroom . They took the judges to Frankenstein's lab in Transylvania, where he was making the ideal football player for Notre Dame. Although much enthusiasm .was evident during the skits, the Freshmen must have saved some for the pep rally . Cheering their team to victory in the scooter race made for an exciting end to the day.

Playing With The Pros By: Bridget Hayes This year, there were several freshmen athletes on Varsity teams. They included Jen Stevens in soccer; James Donnelly in cross country; and Matt Govan, Brian Pazdan, Pat Burns, and John Houston on the Ice Hockey team. Mrs. Sandy Koschek, Varsity girls' soccer coach, is impressed with Jen's ability. "She has a lot of potential. She will definitely figure in the success of the team in the next three years," said

Mrs. Koschek. Cross Country Coach Timothy Sewnig is also impressed with a freshman member of his team, James Donnelly. "James is a hardworking runner whose free spirit and fun-loving attitude is as important to the team as his running abilities," said Coach Sewnig. Both of James' older brothers, Pete and Pat, also ran Cross Country, resulting in James' interest in the sport.

When asked what it's like to be on a Varsity team, these students answered: Matt Govan- "It's pretty cool, but it's tough because you can get hurt.'' Jen Stevens - "It's good because I'm treated as a Varsity player, not as a freshman." Brian Pazdan - ''It can really be tough because the guys on the opposing team are bigger than me, and it's easier for me to get hurt.'' Pat Burns - "Being on a Varsity team gives you more experience and it's challenging, because everyone's a lot bigger than you." John Houston- "The other Varsity players teach you a lot when you're on the ice; their experience really helps you out." Although the athletes say it's more difficult to be on a Varsity team, they also agree that it's more challenging. But it's worth it because it is such an honor. According to Greg Schafer, head Basketball coach, "There are some freshmen uniquely talented to be able to compete on a Varsity level. Those athletes are exceptions."

Jersey And You: Perfect Together

By: Audra Whitaker

The Jersey shore, you say? Yes, we have had our share of problems in the past. But problems or not, it is still the "Place to go" for Notre Dame freshmen . According to a survey taken last December, more than 75% of the Freshman class spent some time at the Jersey shore. Between the months of June and August, the Notre Dame family spreads itself from Sea Bright beach in North Jersey to Cape May in South Jersey. But many of the popular spots are somewhere in between, including the frequently visited Wildwood, Seaside, and of course, Long Beach Island (LBI). Wildwood, the beach second most visited by Notre Dame freshmen, is one of the most advertised and frequently vacationed beaches on the New Jersey coast. Wildwood, composed of North Wildwood, Wildwood, and Wildwood Crest, is also highly visited by Philadelphians and Canadians. Seaside is one of the closest beaches to the Trenton area with a boardwalk. Seaside is the fast lane, hot car strip of the Jersey beaches . The main is constantly full of torqued-up automobiles and breezy convertibles. The most frequently visited beach is LBI. Notre Dame students can tan,

burn, and swim at the many beaches, including Barnegat Light, Loveladies, Harvey Cedars, Surf City, Shipbottom, Brant Beach, Beach Haven, and Spray Beach. The many divisions 路of Beach Haven including the Crest, Terrace, Gardens, and North Beach Haven are the spots where you can find the most highly concentrated number of Notre Dame students. According to the survey, 53% of all the students who vacation at LBI stay in one of these sections of Beach Haven. Also located in Beach Haven is "The Tide'', a popular night spot for the Notre Dame freshman crew. Some other night spots include "Joe Pops" and the "Quarterdeck Inn" located in Shipbottom. For eating entertainment, students treat themselves to the humiliating ice cream experience available at "Showcase". And for the Island's best pizza, students venture to "Panzones". According to the survey, an estimated 3 7% of the freshmen had some sort of "Beach Friend". Some of the students had friends who lived on the island itself. But others had friends in other places, spanning from the West Coast to Canada, and as far south as Texas.

PDA

By: Jill Laurinaitis

There are many ways friends show their love and affection for each other. These range from private exchanges to sending each other singing telegrams. A Public Display of Affection (PDA) very popular with Notre Dame students is the exhibition of couples "in love", showing their feelings for eac~l other by kissing and hugging. Dick and Jane hold on to each other for dear life, embracing each other as if it is the last time they will ever see each other. They kiss - a long passionate kiss goodbye. It is time once again . Then, with a final loving glance, Jane steps away . Dick's heart is torn apart as she walks into the room. The bell rings, signaling the beginning of class. Dick will be late, but it makes no difference to him . He decides the Thursday detention he will receive is worth it. He turns and sprints to his history class . This heartbreaking ordeal is a familiar scene to many at Notre Dame High School . Some go through it daily, while others witness it just as often : Couples in the halls parting to go off to separate classes. You know who Dick and Jane are. You see dozens of them everyday in school. They're the ones who meet each other between every class, holding hands, or wrapping their arms around each other, wooing each other, and sharing lockers. A bystander, who requested anonymity, said, "It's great they like each other, but some people get offended by some of their lovey-dovey actions. Besides, when they depart for classes, it's only 40 minutes before they see each other again .'' Another witness said, "Holding hands I can handle, but feeding each other at lunch is going a bit overboard ." Another opinion comes from a N.D. student who is "in love". She says, "It's a natural reaction to show affection to the person you're going out with . Personally, I do not show an amount that makes some peoples' stomach turn ."

Deck By:The Halls Mary Anne Gocke Have you ever walked down the hall and caught a glimpse of someone' s locker? From the outside you might be able to tell that it's their birthday. The decoration of lockers is an expression of love and friendship popular among Notre Dame students. It is not unusual on your birthday to walk into school and be able to see your locker from a mile away, because it is decorated with festive wrapping paper. Reactions to this vary from ecstasy to total shock that your friend remembered your birthday. Another sight would be the inside of someone's locker. Students' lockers range from very neat to major disaster areas. Some lockers might be decorated with pictures of friends, a favorite movie star, or a rock group; others have no pictures at all. There are also students, such as sophomore Jomar Statkun, who allow their friends to use their locker. Some students who share lockers have a hard time keeping them neat, but Jomar has found the solution . He has put shelves in his locker, and each of his friends has his or her own shelf. Other students decorate their lockers for the season . One such student is junior Dan Amrich. His locker has become known for its Christmas decorations. Through the years, he has decorated his locker with Christmas lights, Christmas music, and decorations. Next year, he plans to add a Christmas tree. " I do it for the Christmas spirit, said Dan . Some students keep a certain theme in mind when they are decorating their lockers. For example, sophomore Kit Kovacs decorates her locker for spring . Her decorations include a baby rattle and stuffed animals. She also stores a Rubik 's cube puzzle and a deck of cards in her locker. "It makes it more personal, and it makes me feel more at home, said Kit. Lockers range from the plain to the bizarre, but every year, lockers get more original . II

In-School Reprimands

Notre Dame Students On The Job

By: Jim Hammerstone

The alarm clock has just gone off. You find ypurself rising from bed, getting dressed in uniform, and preparing to go to school. You suddenly stop. Why are you doing this? It's Saturday morning. Are you having a nightmare? Are you losing your mind? No, you are the recipient of a Saturday Detention. The idea of Saturday Detention was first introduced to Notre Dame 14 years ago. Until recently, Saturday Detentions were more of a "Breakfast Club" than a deterrent. "When I was a Freshman we went, out of uniform, for two hours, to the auditorium. We brought sleeping bags and pillows and just slept after attendance was taken," said Senior, T.C. Nelson.

"Saturday Detentions were purposeless," said Dan Stackhouse. "They were a good idea disciplinewise, but they were also kind of fun." Things have changed greatly since then. When Mr. Kelly took over as Dean of Discipline three years ago, the Saturday Detention program was reformed. It is no longer fun and games .. Now, when a student receives a Saturdciy Detention, he or she must report to B102, in uniform, at 8:00 in the morning. After attendance is taken, an assignment is given. Writing the dictionary, reading and reporting on three major magazine articles, and scrubbing lockers are some of the more common punishments. One Fall morn-

ing, following the Notre Dame/Trenton High football game, the group policed the entire campus on a litter patrol. "It wasn't exactly my idea of a perfect Saturday morning," said Marc Castiello . "I could definitely do without another Saturday.'' An average of 8-14 students have detention each Saturday. Mr. Kelly has had as little as one and as many as twenty students at a time. Missing a Thursday Detention, smoking, and truancy are some of the more common offenses that merit Saturday Detentions. According to Mr. Kelly, Saturday Detentions are effective nine out of ten times. "There are very few repeaters," said Mr. Kelly

Out Of School 路Rewards

Notre Dame Students On The Job

by: Denise Liedtka

Many students here at Notre Dame have managed to balance their time wisely, for besides having full-time class schedules, they also hold down parttime jobs. Whether they are working to pay for car insurance, to save money for college, or for spending money, these working students see having a job as a necessity. Most students start their hunt for summer employment before school gets out in June. For underclassmen, this job search may include riding their bikes to the local shopping center and racing to the stores with the Help Wanted signs. According to underclassmen, babysitting is one of the most popular jobs because it is usually close to home. It is a position that can be held year round and it gives the student an opportunity to do homework while working. Most freshmen and sophomores are content with just about any pay rate as long as the job is close to home. Mowing lawns is another popular job among Notre Dame students. Regardless of whether it is done privately or commercially. If is a seasonal position, but that is the kind of work many students look for. It is an ideal position for

the student who wishes to devote the school year solely to his studies. Seniors Pete Carfagno and Pete Sagerese worked for Brieman's Lawn Service last summer. "We really enjoyed the job and it was the perfect way to get a great summer tan," said Pete Carfagno . A large percentage of students also work year round. Popular positions for such students are as department store salesmen, supermarket cashiers, waitresses, and busboys . Senior Pete Kelley is one student who is constantly working . Pete has worked as a cashier at Thrift way, a clerk at a paint store, and as a busboy at the Clarion Hotel. During the school year, Pete worked an average of 30 hours a week, but he felt that keeping those long hours took too much time away from his studies. . Clover employee Dave Yousko found that working did not interfer with his school work. "I usually work 26 hours a week in order to make my car payments and to have some spending money, " said Dave . Senior Kelly Giquinto felt as though she had found an ideal job for herself; she was an employee at the Tanning

Center of Hamilton. "I enjoy the job because I like the people I work with and because it was easy work; it gave me a chance to get my homework done," said Kelly . Although Phil Alia had not been in the work force that long, he held three jobs during his senior year. In the summer, Phil worked at a bakery in Wildwood Crest making donuts. That was his favorite job for it was the most fun. Phil was also a salesman at Crazy Eddie's which he wanted for the experience it provided working with people . He was also a skate guard at the Mercer County Ice Skating Rink . "I had to resign my position at Crazy Eddie's because it interfered with my school work and preparation for college," said Phil. Father Hughes suggests that if a student is to work, he should do so on the weekends only . Many students had trouble accepting this because they felt as though they were working for seven days straight and had no relaxation time. Seniors felt that they could budget their time well enough to handle school and a job. Besides, they have to work; car payments just don't go away .

Casual Dining Is Serious Business 路 By: Megan Briana Murphy Although they are not officially part of the school curriculum, a large part of high school years are spent in these places. Every high school has their own special ones, and Notre Dame is no exception . Notre Dame is geared toward different individuals and so are the hangouts . In fact, each grade has their own unofficial, designated spot to congregate. It has been a tradition at Notre Dame to move to a different hangout when you move up a level. After school, Freshmen flock to the local 7-Eleven, just a short block from school. It is the closest spot to buy desired munchies after school and before athletic and theatrical practices. " I'm an athletic trainer, and always have some free time before the games, so 7-Eleven is the closest place for me to grab a slurpee and snack. All my friends go there; I love it! " said

126

Heather Jones. Once you become a little older, and have reached the sophomore status, you begin to outgrow the need to have a hangout so close to your home away from home, Notre Dame. You venture a few blocks further to Ciro's Pizza. Ciro's offers not only hot food, but also a place to sit down and eat . Many memories of sophomore year involve the time spent at Ciro's. " I love Notre Dame students. Not only do they promote business, they promote a fun atmosphere. That's important to me," said Ciro, owner of Ciro's Pizza . Now you are suddenly a Junior and upperclassman, so to speak . You have a new role in the school, and therefore, a new hangout is needed. This time you choose to patronize Burger King on Route 1. Burger King is further away from school than ?-Eleven and Ciro's but still

close enough to walk t o . Burger King offers something unique; it offers privacy , by providing booths. Burger King has been transformed from an ordinary restaurant to a Notre Dame hot spot. According to Junior Ann Margic in, "Burger King is a perfect spot t o hang out after school and before parties or really just any t ime I want to be with friends .'' But the question is - where do the seniors congregate? Although it is a senior privilege to go to any hangout, there is one designated spot t o meet and plan the night's agenda . It is the Armory, located just a short three-mile drive from Notre Dame . " Since I live so far away, I'm notalways up on what is going on, so the Armory is the ideal place to meet friends and plan what we are going to do for the night." said Karen Wazolowski.

Salad Craze By : Megan Briana Murphy What is the one class which all students have in common? If you guessed lunch, you guessed correctly. No matter what seven other courses students take, lunch is always the eighth. Therefore, it is safe to assume that "cafeteria life" is an important aspect of high school. If you entered the cafeteria on any given Tuesday or Thursday, you found a multitude of students anxiously awaiting their turn at creating the "ideal" salad. The salad bar has existed at Notre Dame for two years, and it has been a tremendous success. On the designated salad days, the eager calls of the underclassmen echoed through the corridors, "Save me a spot on the salad line," or "I can taste my salad already.'' The salad bar offers something for everyone - lettuce, whole leaves or shredded, green peppers and raw onions, tomato wedges, crunchy croutons, carrot sticks, not to mention fresh cauliflower and broccoli. The cafeteria staff deserves to be applauded for their consideration of the student body; in such a health-ori-

128

ented decade, the salad bar serves a vital function for students and faculty alike . But what did you do if you suddenly had a craving for an ice-cream sandwich or a hamburger? The odds are that you sampled some of the goodies in the vending machines or opted for one of the meals made on the premises. Either way, you enjoyed the freedom of choosing what you ate for lunch. Since the cafeteria is equipped to satisfy the hunger of a multitude, what are the favorites? "I think the peanut butter cups and KIT KA TS are the best, because there always seems to be a limited supply. The candy has always been my favorite," said Senior Terri Grosso. But not everyone likes the same thing. Sophomore Mary Conboy favors .; the french fries and hamburgers to the vending machine's menu. And Junior Amy King prefers the salad bar and soup of the day more than anything else. Whatever you crave, the cafeteria has got it for you .

And They Lived Happily Ever After By: Denise Liedtka Blue and White Day is a special event for all Notre Dame students and faculty . But, it is most important for the seniors because it is their last year to share in the Blue and White craziness. This spirited day came at a perfect time for seniors, giving them a break from filling out college applications. Seniors, having participated in three previous Blue and White days, gave the day all of their effort. Seniors worked together as a team, not against each other, but against the underclassmen. Blue and White Day encourages comradary among all seniors, and lets their creativity shine. As leaders in the school they felt they should come out on top. By this time, seniors have a greater understanding of the day and the spirit involved with it; therefore, it is a success. The homeroom competition has always been the day's biggest event, and this year was no exception . The theme, "Senior Fairytale Land," was challenging, but successfully executed. The excitement began to mount on Thursday, when many seniors were seen in the woods behind the school collecting branches and whole trees to make their skits more realistic .

On the following day, an entourage of student photographers and reporters followed the judges to each senior homeroom. The judges were Mrs. Zahorsky, Mrs, Revello, Mrs. Major, Mr. Martin, Mr. Gatto, and Mr. Gusciora. The winning homeroom belonged to Mrs. Gavin. Their skit was about little Bobby, portrayed by Laura Weingartner, who wished Mother Gavin would tell bedtime stories with more adventure . That very night, Mother Gavin was visited by fairytale characters that were not behaving respectably . All of them, including Red Riding Hood, Snow Black and the nine dwarfs, and Tinkerbell were off to a tailgate party, to see the Irish crush the Iron Mikes in the football game. Mrs. Anderson's homeroom won second place, with their portrayal of the three little pigs. The wolf, Rich Hutchinson, knocked down the two weaker houses made of straw and twigs, but not Notre Dame High School, because it was protected by the Irish football team . The third place prize was shared by two homerooms, Ms. Campo's and Mrs. Garrison's. Ms. Campo's students celebrated the 30th Birthday of The

Cat in the Hat, and the cat was played by Tinette Carter. The party was attended by such celebrities as Cinderella and her wicked stepsisters, Alice in Wonderland, Sleeping Beauty, and the Queen of Hearts. Mrs. Garrison's homeroom presented their own version of the " Wizard of Oz" . The skit presented the perils of Dorothy, Stacia Thompson, trying to return a football to the Iron Mike. Of course, she was successful . With the assistance of the Great Gat, Ernie Tkac, she made it to the top of the CVC, and Notre Dame won . After the judging, seniors moved to the gym to dance to the music of fellow classmate and disc jockey Don Sullivan. Then they were entertained by the Give and Take Jugglers in the auditorium. This was a show most seniors were familiar with, but nevertheless enjoyed . The day closed with the annual Pep Rally, an event which was most meaningful to the senior athletes . This was a time during which they were recognized for their past contributions to the team, and encouraged to have a successful season .

October Blue & White Rakes In Fall Spirit

ND Wins On All Levels

By: Bridget Hayes

Homeroom decorating, dancing in the gym, entertainment in the auditorium, the pep ralley, and the varsity football game against McCorristin all made this year's Blue and White day a success. The day began with a show of spirit from homerooms on every level. A contest was held to determine the best homeroom skits and decorating jobs on each class level. Themes ranged from the ordinary to the absurd . Entertainment was provided by the Juggling Duo, who had appeared in past years. They had a new juggler named Eric who rode a unicycle and juggled at the same time. In the gym, a D.J. spun re.cords while the students danced and signed class posters taped to the gym walls. During the pep ralley, varsity teams were introduced, worm and scooter ...races were held, the cheerleaders gave a stunning performance, four guys drank milk from baby bottles, and the entire student body cheered for their respective classes until their throats were sore . The day ended with a victorious game against McCorristin. The Iron Mikes scored only once in the second half leaving the Irish with a 41 to 6 win.

Spirit Requires A Little ''Give And Take''

Juggling With The Pros By : Jill Laurinatis

''We Are Number One'' By : Anne Marie Nestor What do you think of when you walk into a crowded gymnasium filled with Freshmen, Sophomores, Juniors and Seniors chanting, "We are number one, we are number one !"? You guessed it , the fall sports pep rally held at the very end of Blue and White Day every year. As tradition goes, once again it was a great success. Mr. Gregory Schafer, math teacher, opened the pep rally with a speech that paid tribute to teacher Mr. Wroblewski's courageous battle against cancer in the past year. It provided inspiration for both the students and the faculty . Then all spirits were raised when the cheerleaders introduced the fall sports teams including cross country, girls' and boys' soccer, field hockey, girls' tennis, and Junior Varsity and Varsity football . Next came the relay races . Competition was stiff, but the Seniors won the worm race, fOllowed by the Sopho-

mores in second place, and the Juniors in third. The frosh certainly made a turn around showing what they were made of in the scooter race by taking first place . The Seniors took second, the Juniors took third, and Sophomores were in fourth place . The drinking contest, a new event this year, was the final competition. One brave participant on each level had to down a baby bottle filled with milk . The winner was Brian Duff on the Junior level, but the other competitors, Ted Panajeateau on the Senior level, Brian Eller on the Sophomore level, and the student on the Freshman level deserve to be mentioned for their efforts. Finally, the Varsity cheerleaders performed a dance routine choreographed by a few of their own members, Kim Hutchinson, Theresa Jones, Stacie Crucile, and Jill Laurinaitis. A cheering contest was then held between levels to warm up the students' voices for the evening's game.

You were there on Blue and White Day when torches of fire were being tossed across Notre Dame's stage . Dave Gilles, Nick Gregory, and Eric Belcher, the "Give and Take" Jugglers, gave a stunning performance that had students cheering and applauding . Dave and Nick had performed at N.D. before, but Eric was new. He had recently joined Nick and Dave who have been working together for ten years. The participation of N.D. students in the show made the "Give and Take" routine of juggling tennis rackets, knives, eggs, boccie balls, and a bowling ball even more memorable. One highlight of the act was when four courageous N.D. seniors stepped on stage to participate in the show . Rob Zangrilli, Kendra Ernst, Ernie Tkac, and Chris Decker stood between Dave and Nick while they juggled seven bowling pins back and forth , in front of and behind the four students. Another group of N.D. students was given a chance to learn the tricks of the trade . Backstage, seniors Susie Herdt and Lisa Hartman and junior John Deaver were taught how to juggle scarves. At the end of the show, they gave their own performance . According to the Jugglers, who are also comedians, they enjoy performing at at Notre Dame because of the responsive crowd . In addition to performing at schools, they also perform at fairs and adult and children shows. Topf STUDENTS TAUGHT A FEW TRICKS : Senior Kendra Ernst is warned by Dave Gillies to stay very still as he juggles around her. /Middle 1 ARE YOU SURE?: Varsity cheerleaders perform their annual routine to the songs Great Balls of Fire, Oh Yeah, and Wipeout .

Flapjacks By: Megan Briana Murphy In November, the Senior Class upheld the tradition of the annual Senior Pancake Breakfast. What was once only a date on the calender, became a successful fundraiser for Seniors. After much preparation by Senior Moderator Mrs. Burzachiello and student government, the day turned out to be very profitable. Not only did it add much-needed funds to the Senior treasury (approximately two-thousand dollars), but it also gave the Seniors a chance to come together to put an end to their, at times, lack of "class spirit". "We knew it would be the best Senior Pancake Breakfast ever, if we had total Senior support," said student government officer Patti Conboy. "Everyone had a part to play and the Senior class gave 100%." To make the event run smoothly, the Senior volunteers were given various tasks, which included waiting on customers, bussing tables, manning the juice bar, operating the coffee and tea stands, and refilling condiments. But even with all the organization, there were still some unavoidable delays. About 90 minutes into the breakfast, there was a temporary sausage shortage. According to Mrs. Burzachiello, the shortage was due to the unexpected amount of people who came to the breakfast. Although only 750 were expected, the Senior class served just under 1,000 breakfasts. "The sausage shortage wasn't a catastrophe or anything, because of the people's attitude. They were very understanding. They looked at the delay as an ideal opportunity to get acquainted with everyone else at their table," said Chris Decker, one of the waitresses. Towards the end of the morning, there was also a shortage of dairy creamers for the coffee, but Mrs. Burzachiello came through in a pinch; she improvised arid poured milk into little cups, thus satisfying everyone once again. These unforseen setbacks did not ruin the day; ironically, they enhanced it. "I thought all the little mishaps added to the fun. It made the day more unique, and one that I won't soon forget," said Senior Tanya Serpikov. TopjCLOWNING AROUND: Student government

Dreams Can Come True By: Denise Liedtka Seniors may be too old to go trickor-treating, but they can still have fun imitating their favorite characters on 路 Halloween. This year's Seniors showed their holiday enthusiasm at the Senior Halloween Dance. On Halloween, the gym was not filled with typical Notre Dame students, but with bowling pins, sheiks and dancing harem girls, Lost Boys, and life-size Swatches. According to students, a lot of work and imigination went into making these costumes, but since students could be anything they dreamed of being for the night, it was definitely worth it. The first place winner in the singles category was Danielle Rotondo as the Pope. Megan Murphy, who won second place in the singles category, was in shock that she won . "I couldn't believe it when the winners were announced. I just threw the costume together that afternoon," said Megan. Third place winners of the singles category were Kyle Smith and Chuck Schroeder as the Phantom of the Opera. The Best Friends Charms, Stacy Crucilli and Lisa Celmer won first place in the couples category . "This seemed to be the perfect costume for us since we are best friends," said Lisa.

lowski and Ginger Zdanowicz won second place in the couples category. Third place winners in the couples category, disguised as Pebbles and Bam Bam, were Marcie McDermott and Rich Hutchinson. Marcie got the idea to be Pebbles and Bam Bam a couple of weeks before Halloween when trying to think of couples people would recognize. ''My mom thought of Fred and Wilma, and that sparked the idea of Pebbles and Bam Bam. Since the Flintstones is Rich's favorite show, the costume was ideaL" said Marcie. The winner of first place in the groups category, the jigsaw puzzle, was comprised of 12 puzzle pieces and a stop watch . Second place was awarded to the American Flag, a group of eight girls, which sang, "You're a Grand Ole Flag ." The life-size spider, comprised of Melissa Lauandos, Lisa Hartmann, Scott Baracalow, and Pete Kelley, won third place in the group category. "The costume was Melissa's idea, and her grandmother made it for us. I was glad we did it because it was really a lot of fun, and it was an added bonus that we won," said Pete. The night didn't end at the dance, for when it was over, the seniors continued to show their Halloween enthusiasm at Leslie Gorman's party.

Never Too Old If you thought Halloween was just for little kids, think again. On October 30, a whole class of rather big kids proved they're not ready to give up Halloween yet . With discounted Prom or Cotillion tickets as an incentive, members of the Junior class came to school in various disguises to participate in Costume Day . According to students, it was an exciting experience to turn every corner and not know what kind of creature they'd see next. Murmurs of "did you see Big Bird?" or "who was under the mask?" filled the air the entire day. Many students with extra large costumes found it difficult to maneuver through the halls or even sit in class. At lunchtime, judges sat in the front of the cafeteria as the contestants walked, danced or sang their way down the aisle . Then came the long agonizing wait for the Afternoon Announcements when the names of the winning Juniors would be announced. First place in the group category was won by Caroline Farruggia, Dawn Hill, Kiersty Hilton, and Jen Marue, who were dressed as Wizard of Oz characters. The Ten Little Pumpkins, Lisa Vanella, Lisa Barsczewski, Kim Bromer, Jill Brahnam, Shannon O'Keefe, Michelle Dey, Robin Ernst, Suzanne Bowling, Ann Marcicin, and Lisa Kostecki won second place. In the couples category, Melissa Abbondanza and Beth Sopko brought

They included Tony Ieverone as the frightening Freddy Crouger, and Dan Stackhouse, who recreated the Texas chainsaw massacre . Matt McGrath let his beauty shine as a cocktail waitress; Monika Loeffler dressed as a Southern Belle; and Mike Sullivan received many whistles at lunch as an ND cheerleader. Dave Klosinski became "Father Dave" for the day; Chris Wargo portrayed the Headless Horseman, complete with a real pumpkin on his head; and Francesco Gioe hovered over everyone as Big Bird . Some of those didn't win, but received Honorable Mention for their creativity, were the Convicts, Jen Collender, Amy Dubinski, Denise Vandergrift, and Theresa Jones, led by mobster Alexia Freeman; the Jesters, Kristen Ziolkowski and Aliso Toscano; and Chris Soprych, as the Pope . The popular idea this year seemed to be California Raisins. Hefty bags and purple sheets disguised three groups of raisins while they sang "I Heard it Through the Grapevine". Even though none of the groups received a prize, there were no sour grapes among the bunch .

Cold Hands, Warm Hearts On cold October nights, most people choose to stay inside and enjoy the warmth. That wasn't the case this one particular October night. Despite the cold weather and wind, Notre Dame's Homecoming game against Steinert drew an estimated 2,000 people, including many recent graduates who returned to see the crowning of King and Queen. The cold didn't seem to affect the anxious crowd or the players as the Irish won the football game 33-16. During the week prior to the game, Seniors nominated Homecoming candidates and gradually narrowed the

list down to ten. The girls' court, escorted by their parents, consisted of Katie Flynn, Stella Calderone, Cheryl Paglione, Carrie Prophett, and Kim Hutchinson, who was crowned Queen by last year's winner Beth Ardery. "I was excited, very happy, and didn't expect to win," said Kim, who is a member of the Varsity cheerleading squad and the National Honor Society.

Homecoming is exactly that time when ND alumnists, young and old, return for the weekend to watch the traditional football game. This year, ND's 30th Anniversary highlighted Homecoming weekend . The Anniversary celebration included a mass for the deceased alumni and the rededication of the chapel, which brought a sense of unity to all those who have graduated from Notre Dame.

Feeding The Hungry By : Denise Liedtka In the Gospels, we are told to feed the hungry. Here at Notre Dame, we accept this challenge annually, with the Thanksgiving Food Drive . The food drive, which was originally instituted by the Koinonia Club, has become a longstanding tradition here at Notre Dame . Under the direction of Mrs. Josephine Burzachiello (Mrs. B), who was assisted by Mrs. Riley, Mrs. Gavin, Mrs. Koschek , and Ms. Henkel, the drive was successful in providing food to many families who would not normally have had it. Notre Dame students and faculty donated enough food to send 25 boxes of groceries to both Mount Carmel Guild and Martin House, local charitable organizations. Each student also donated one dollar that was used to pay for 25 turkeys and pies for each location, and 20 cases of soda. The format for this year's drive was different from that of previous years. This year, each homeroom was assigned to collect one category of food . In earlier years, the homerooms were each given a menu to fill. The change was made, according to Mrs. B., because once the food is delivered to its destination, it is divided into categories. "In essence, we were only creating unnecessary work for ourselves," said Mrs. B. The food drive was worth the work that it involved, according to Mrs. B., because it was for such a worthy cause, concerning ourselves with the needs of those less fortunate than us .

Irish X-Mas Cheer

By Amy Gendek And Faith Haymond

Notre Dame celebrates the Christmas Holidays in a variety of ways. The halls and classrooms display a wide gamut of decorations ranging from pictures of Santa and stockings to Christmas lights and garland. During the morning prayer, Advent candles are lit as a daily reminder of the joyous meaning of the season . One feature of the Christmas season at Notre Dame is the annual Student Government Candy Cane Sale. Students pay to have Christmas messages and candy canes sent to their friends. This is a nice way to send an inexpensive treat. More personal Christmas wishes are seen as the corridors fill with students exchanging gifts and spreading Christmas cheer to friends and teachers . Another way that the Notre Dame family celebrates the season is by helping others. The members of the Senior Service Service programs always feel the need to share this giving spirit . To spread this holiday feeling throughout the community, many seniors visit local hospitals and geriatric centers to sing Christmas carols. One of the trips, organized by Lori Lee Berish

this year, was to Hamilton Hospital. Many students, disguised as reindeer, accompanied Santa Claus, portrayed by Ted Power, as he distributed candy canes-. Future Business Leaders of America's Civic Committee also spread Christmas cheer at Mercer County Geriatric Center. Santa Claus and two elves (Chris Bowes, Lori Lee Berish, and Amy Gendek, respectively) distributed cookies and holiday greeting cards. A good time was had by all. A party held for Big Brothers /Big Sisters of Mercer County is an annual holiday event. This year the seniors provided decorations, refreshments, entertainment, face painting, and small token_ gifts. The distribution of gifts was accompanied by a talk with Santa Claus, portrayed by Rich Suth . The hard work that was put forth by everyone was evidently displayed in the happy faces of the youngsters. Notre Dame students also shared their talents with the community by performing at the annual Christmas Concert . The Jazz and Concert Bands, and the Freshman and Madrigal Choirs put on fine performances.

Garden Party Ushers In Yuletide Season by: Denise Liedtka The traditional Notre Dame Christmas Cotillion has undergone a number of changes in recent years. Up until two years ago, the cotillions were always held in the school cafeteria and the food was prepared by parents of student government members. Due to an overwhelming demand for Cotillion tickets, the 1986 Christmas Cotillion was moved to the West Trenton Ballroom. But that year, there was a waiting list of students who did not get tickets and still wanted to attend. Therefore, it was decided that two Cotillions were needed. The second was held at the Capital Plaza Hotel in Trenton. Holding two Christmas semiformals proved accommodating for the 300 couples in attendance, but it took away some of the specialness of the night. Last year, foreseeing a large request for tickets, the student government moderators reserved the Cedar Gardens Restaurant in Hamilton a year in advance. The sophomore and junior classes sold out of tickets on the first day of sales, and it was only a matter of days until the freshman and senior classes did the same. The ticket price of $50 did not even deter students from buying. Cedar Garaens was chosen because it has a large holding co-

pacity, over 320 couples. Many of the seniors enjoyed the Cotillion even though they had Achievement Tests the next morning. "Before going to the Cotillion I was worried about staying until midnight and being tired for Achievements, so I decided to leave early. But, once I got there and was having such a joyous time with my friends I knew I would stay until the end. It was my last Cotillion and I rationalized the situation by saying that they were only placement tests, nothing all too pressing or important,'' said senior Corina lmmordino. Achievements were not the only thing that concerned students about leaving early. The football team had to travel to Absecon for the State Championship game against Holy Spirit. They had a ten o'clock curfew and had no choice but to keep it. Even with busy mornings ahead of them, many students said it was the best Cotillion they had ever attended. The reason for this was that the food was good, capon and buttered green beans, and the music was pleasing to many tastes. If the successful record of Cotillions continues, they can only get better as each year passes.

Catholic Schools Week: Share The Spirit By: Allison Gifford And Megan Briana Murphy One week out of every school year is set aside for the students of Notre Dame High School to celebrate the fact that they go to a Catholic school. This week is appropriately termed "Catholic Schools' Week" . The week begins with a mass and culminates in Spirit Day . The Festivities begin with Father Hughes celebrating mass; it involves a large percent of the student body and reflects Notre Dame as a whole. The offertory procession ideally captures what it is that Notre Dame stands for; representatives of the teaching, maintenance, and cafeteria staffs join the student body in offering what means the most to them and the rest of the Notre Dame family. Throughout the week students and faculty alike participated in various activities designed to make the theme of the week - Share the Spirit come alive . These spirit -evoking activities ranged from the wearing of school colors on White Lightning Monday and Touch of Blue Tuesday to having each class weigh in at lunch on Thursday, and the class with the most weight attained the most points for that day. Pie-eating contests were held at lunch each day to determine class-level finalists for Spirit Day Competition . The week ended with a grand finale known as Spirit Day, a day of goodnatured competition between the Blue and White team . This year the Blue Team was comprised of the freshmen and the seniors. And the White Team consisted of the sophomores and juniors. To break the usual routine and set the tone for a day of relaxation and fun, students were permitted to come

146

to school out of uniform. The day began as the entire student body assembled in the gym to greet the winter sports teams as they ran through a double column of cheerleaders to the center of the gym. The entourage included the girls' basketball, boys' basketball, wrestling, winter track, swimming, and bowling teams. The varsity boys' soccer and girls' field hockey teams also made a triumphant entrance, brandishing trophies. The boys' soccer team tied in the state championships and the girls' field hockey team won the CVC and Central Jersey Championships. The parade of teams was followed by a basketball game between the Blue and White teams; the White team was victorious. During the remainder of the morning, students bopped (by class level) from the gym, where they could dance to the music of disc jockey Danny Sullivan; to lunch; to the auditorium where class level talent competitions were taking place . Winners were Rich Hutchinson, Paul Goubeaud, and Chris Gresko on the Senior level, who sang a rap song; Rich Morrison and Dan Stackhouse on the Junior level for their rap duo; sophomore Chris Young; and freshman Holly McKensie. The afternoon included a variety of competitive events beginning with the annual Worm Race, in which teams of twelve students squirmed and squiggled their way across the gym floor while holding onto one another's ankles. The wriggling White team captured the victory in that event . This was followed by the Nerd Race; the teams demonstrated their coordination as they ran across the gym lug-

ging an armful of books. The contestants were also required to wear darkhorned glasses, a bow t ie and a beanie. The audience roared with laughter as the "nerds" spilled their belongings. The Blue team was declared the winner. They continued this winning streak by proving to the best in the pie competition. The White Team won the next event, a volleyball game. They then competed against a faculty volleyball team and lost. The couples beauty contest was a highlight of the day. The girls dressed as men and the boys as women . They portrayed the opposite sex in a dramatized strut around the gym. The Blue Team had the best " man" and the White Team won in the best "woman" category . The last event of the day was the talent contest . The finalists from the morning competition performed for the judges and the student body . Sophomore Chris Young placed first for his rendition of "I Believe in Me", chalking up more points for the White Team . He was followed by freshman Holly McKensie in second place, the seniors in third place, and the juniors in fourth . After much competition and good sportsmanship by both teams, the White team won by a mere two points. The final score of the day was Blue team 362 and the White team 364. " Spirit Day is definitely one of my favorite days in school . I love the way it seems that everyone's only objective is to have a good time," said senior Blue Team member Ginger Zdanowicz .

Slip Sliding Awayy:

Early last January the Trenton area was faced with harsh snowstorms. Due to an accumulation of over six inches of snow, Notre Dame was closed for two days the first week after the Christmas Holidays. This was an unexpected but pleasant break to those students and faculty members who were not yet ready to face an average school week . It also meant students could spend some extra time enjoying their favorite winter activities. School closing due to snow means a variety of things to Notre Dame students. "Snow days are days to sleep until noon and watch soap operas all afternoon," said Jeannine Faltum. This description of a snow day does not apply to all students, especially senior Rich Hutchinson. "On snow days I shovel my driveway, have snowball fights with my sisters, bury them in the snow, and then make snow angels," said Rich Sledding is one of the most popular winter activities. According to students, sledding "hot spots" are Veterans Park, Washington Crossing Park, and the Katzenbach School. "My favorite place to go sledding is Veterans Park on the lake side, especially at night when it isn't crowded," said senior Tracy Kerwick . Many students that feel they are too old to go sledding will bring along a younger brother or sister for the sake of appearance. If a younger sibling is not available, they will find any little kid and ask them to go. "We didn't want to go by ourselves, so we brought along Kiersty Hilton's little sister Lauren.

She had a lot of fun, so did we," said juniors Dawn Hill and Jen Marue. Skiing is another popular activity among Notre Dame students. This year, to accommodate the students' desire to ski, Father Hughes ran three day-trips to Mt. Vernon, Shawnee, and Camelback . These day trips were in place of the usual week -long trip to Vermont. To compensate for the loss of school-sponsored ski trips, a number of students took vacations on their own. Seniors Brian Barnock and Dan Belcea spent the Christmas Holidays on the slopes of Lake George in New York. "Skiiing was the perfect way to spend my Christmas vacation, I can't think of anything I would have enjoyed more," said Senior Brian Barnock. Ice skating is another big winter sport; on weekends one can almost be sure to see Notre Dame students on the ice at the Mercer County Rink. The skill of these skaters is widely varied. Some students are holding onto the walls, others are crawling off the ice, and lastly there are those speeding through the crowds backwards. But, according to some students, it really doesn't matter how bad you are because there is always someone who is worse. Even though it is a widespread belief that everyone's favorite season is summer, students have found many enjoyable and popular activities during the winter. Not everyone can be an expert skier or ice skater, but perfection isn't a requirement . For most students, having fun is the first priority.

Salute To Broadway Proves The ''Cats'' Meow By: Jill Laurinaitis Once again, as done in 1987, Notre Dame's stage was transformed into a Broadway showcase. Due to the overwhelming positive response to last year's " Notre Dame Salutes Broadway I," N.D.'s Theatre Department decided a suitable follow-up would be "Notre Dame Salutes Broadway II". This midyear musical proved to be a successful sequel . This show, consisting of 22 song and dance numbers, relived many Broadway favorites. From its opening number, a harmonized combination of " Prelude/Starting Here, Starting Now/ Somewhere Over the Rainbow", to the Finale, the upbeat song, "Side by Side", from the Broadway hit, "Company", the show portrayed the outstanding talents of the students in the

Notre Dame theatre. Some of the highlights of the show were: Holly McKenzie's powerful solo, "I Dreamed a Dream" from the show "Les Miserables"; "Get me to the Church on Time" from "My Fair Lady", performed by Forrest Harding and the singers in the cast; "Cats", performed by the dancers; and the "Wiz Medley" sung by Holly McKenzie, Mary Ridley, Maureen Carter, Ivy Barnwell, and Niekisha Cook. In addition to ''Notre Dame's Salute to Broadway II" being an enjoyable experience for the audience, it was also an educational experience for those involved in its production . Having only a time period of 5 weeks to get the show together, much hard work and dedication went into this show.

"It's a ton of work, and you get rundown, but in the end it's worth it," said singer Ann Marie Nestor. Putting it all together in this short time shows the professionalism of the show's participants. ''Being in both the singing and dance numbers taught me self-discipline.lt takes a lot of practice, with a short time to perfect it," said senior Stacie Crucili. Under the direction of Richard Loatman, vocal coach Ellen Dondero, acting coach Miriam Mills, stage manager Julie Campo, Mistress of Ceremonies Mary Liz Ivins and Master of Ceremonies Dave Kelly, and with the cooperation of the cast and technical crew, "Notre Dame Salutes Broadway II" was a definite hit.

NIDI Jugglers: Flight Of Hand

By : Catherine Kovacs

You may have passed A20 1 sometime during the year and wondered about those little blue cubes popping in the air. You probably realized after a few moments that the occupants of the room were members of Flight of Hand. an amateur Jugglers Club . Flight of Hand is a new club this year and was formed by Mr. Peter Peterson simply for the enjoyment of juggling. But some students see juggling as something more. ''Juggling is a form of art . It is the most important and least serious. It makes people happy to

watch jugglers." said junior club member Dan Am rich . Each member can juggle at least three bean bags . Steve Dombeck, Dan Amrich, and Ted Varga can even juggle pins. Everyone has special skills that they develop into routines . One trick that members Ted and Steve can do is a "three ball interaction" . It is a game of "catch" . Two jugglers. standing face to face. each with three balls. play catch with one while still juggling the others. Flight of Hand made their first ap-

pearance in November when they performed for the Club Scouts at Incarnation . Ted believes others should have the chance to enjoy juggling tricks. even if they can 't do it themselves . " It's fun and it makes other people happy," he says with a smile, juggling four bean bags. The club feels jugglers are not taken seriously. Their motto is: "Jugglers are nobody's fools".

Black And White And Read All Over By: Audra Whitaker What does it take for a high school newspaper to be successful? Well, if it has anything to do with dedicated, talented students and advisors, Notre Dame's Hibernian has it. "The Hibernian traditionally has attracted many of the academically excelerated students," said Mrs. Sheila Gavin, co-advisor of the Hibernian. And once again, this years seems to be no exception with John W. Tullai and Heidi Harendza as editors-in-chief, Amy Cunningham as associate editor, Paul Goubeaud as sports editor, and Dan Belcea as religion editor, just to name a few. Senior Tom Cody is managing editor and layout director; he claims that this year has been a year of change for the Hibernian's look and content. "Our layout is definitely more difficult, but it is also more professional looking, more exact and precise than any other year." Tom has been on the Hibernian since his sophomore year and has witnessed its continual growth over three years. According to Tom, more articles about life outside of Notre Dame's doors and about the lives of our students have been added. Sports Shorts, under the supervision

of senior Paul Goubeaud, sports coeditior, is a series of articles that gives credit to underclassmen who are outstanding in extra-curricular activities, such as school sports, dancing, and professional skating. And, if you hadn't noticed, the Hibernian now has advertisements. "If you have a better paper, obviously it is going to cost us more," said Mrs. Gavin. Considering that the Hibernian spent nearly all of its funds just for the first edition, something had to be done. The paper also added a few new little things including captions and restaurant, movie, and record reviews that give the Hibernian the look of a professional paper. Along with this serious coverage, as always the Hibernian had its light side. Articles like "What You Would Do To Go To A Concert" and "Stress Test" are just two that appeared this year. This year's paper was an all-round success making the Hibernian a more prominent and respected publication. Each year the paper adds a little more, according to Mrs. Gavin. The plan for the Hibernian is to continue adding new types of copy to the paper in years to come.

Business Minded

By: Stasio Thompson

Every other Thursday, the sound of a gavel is heard striking the podium in B106. "I now call this meeting to order," says President Amy Gendek as the meeting for the Future Business Leaders of America, or FBLA, comes to order. This club tries to run their meeting in a business-like manner by following Roberts Rules, the book that professional businesses use when conducting their meetings. Mrs. Cacallori is the head of the club, and is responsible for restarting the program at Notre Dame. "We used to have a chapter and it became inactive for a couple of years, so I helped reactivate it," said Mrs. Cacallori. She was a member when she was in college and believed FBLA would be beneficial at NO. The interest is obvious; there are approximately 70 students in the club. Members of FBLA learn how businesses are run. "We have students that participate in differeQt committees. There are Civic, Service, Professional Development, Financial Development and Social Committees. The students learn how to work in small groups and they plan activities for the entire club," said Mrs. Cacallori. An example of one of the activities the committees plan is an activity the Professional Development Committee organized. In the spring, they visited the New York stock

exchange to observe money-changing in the real financial world. "Since competition is one of the major characteristics of our free enterprise system, FBLA has also chosen to include competition in our program. We have statewide and national com- . petitions in business subjects with various schools," explains Mrs. Cacallori. Joe Cicco, a junior in FBLA, placed fifth in the New Jersey Regionals. Joe will go on to compete on the state level. The winners of the state level will face other first place state winners throughout the country. An advantage to FBLA is that it isn't just a high school club. "We are a part of a bigger program called FBLA-PBL Inc. This stands for Future Business Leaders of America-Phi Beta Lamda Incorporated. PBL is the collegiate level of FBLA," said Mrs. Cacallori. There are chapters worldwide in countries such as the United States, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, and Guam. Senior Lori Berish, a two-year member of FBLA, is convinced that the club has provided her with opportunities she otherwise might not have had. "I feel that FBLA connects business students with the outside business world. Through our committees we are able to interact with different types of people in our business society."

"Our main goal is for every member to become an active part of our service programs," said Mrs. Judith Salcewicz, moderator of the Notre Dame Red Cross Club. The Red Cross Club is the largest club at Notre Dame. Their dedication and work has earned them The American Red Cross Trenton Area Chapter A ward for Outstanding Service. The Notre Dame Red Cross Club is a member of the Red Cross lnterschool Council, a group of High School Red Cross Clubs from the local area . Lori Berish, the president of the Notre Dame Red Cross Club, is also the president of the lnterschool Council. Each month the Red Cross Club meets to discuss a service project that they will organize. Early in the year, the club organized Friendship Boxes, boxes of supplies which were sent out by the Red Cross lnterschool Council to people in disaster-stricken regions . The Christmas Season was an especially busy time for the Red Cross Club . They held an "Adopt a Family for Christmas" project in which they raised

over $240. The money was used to buy coats for the entire family . The club went Christmas caroling at Hamilton Hospital. They made candy cane reindeer and also organized a bake sale. To raise money for the American Heart Association, the Red Cross Club raffled off a three-foot -long hoagie for Super Bowl Sunday. For Valentine's Day they raffled off a basket of candy, and in April they held a fashion show . "The Red Cross Club also offers the opportunity for Seniors to obtain service hours," said Megan Murphy, secretary of the Red Cross Club. All Seniors are required to complete at least three hours of service per semester. Seniors enrolled in Honors Religion Service program must complete twelve hours of service per quarter along with an individual service project that they are required to do. "The Red Cross Club is an excellent opportunity for ND students to get involved in helping the less fortunate people in our society,'' said Jill Laurinaitis, vice-president of the club.

How Dark Is It?

By: Chris Zullo

A much-needed addition became part of the yearbook workroom this year. A darkroom was built and has been developing ever since . "A major advantage to the darkroom," said Yearbook Advisor Patricia Leoniec, "is to provide a learning experience and to encourage students to get into photography. The students show more enthusiasm in their work when they see immediate results . The staff and moderators are excited about the addition." Having the darkroom also eases many worries. Pictures are kept within the school, and therefore are not lost. The staff enjoys the advantage of the darkroom because they don't have to use outside photo companies, and are therefore able to meet their deadlines more efficiently. "Having the darkroom enables us to catch all the special events of our school, and do so on a timely basis," said four-year staff member Allison Gifford. The darkroom is used by yearbook photographers Stephen Flores and James Sannella and photography editor Lisa Hartmann. "This is a very exciting year for the photography aspect of the yearbook," said Lisa. "For the first time, we have an actual staff doing assignments, and even developing thei( own pictures." With the darkroom as an incentive, the yearbook staff hopes to attract more student photographers and increase the size of the photography staff. They feel the opportunity for increased involvement of the students is one of the major plusses of the darkroom. ''I am very proud of this year's yearbook, for now, more than ever, the work is done by students," said Lisa. According to Miss Leoniec, the yearbook staff will not be the only one to benefit from the darkroom. In the future, she hopes to open it to other school publications so the advantages of this on-site developing room can be multiplied.

Performance With Pride

As the buzzer sounds to mark the end of the first half of a Notre Dame Varsity football game, a stream of royal blue is seen at the side of the field, ready and waiting . Their movements exact and precise, they march onto the field and the music begins. Who is this group? Why it's the Notre Dame Marching Unit. According to the band director, Mr. John Dondero, there are many different parts of the N.D. marching unit that students may participate in. The marching unit consists of the pom-pom squad, the flag unit, equipment managers, and of course the band, made up of woodwinds, brass, and percussion instruments. To be a member of the marching unit, all band members must come to all of the practices. The pom squad and flag unit also hold tryouts at the end of May for the upcoming year. This year, the drum majors, or field conductors, are senior Kim Chianese and junior Charlotte Zimmer. As the main leaders, their responsibilities are many. "We try to set a good example for the other band members, by taking extra time to help people who are having trouble with their music, and taking attendance at practices . Leading the band means not only conducting them at every performance, but also supporting each individual," said Kim Chianese. The captains of the other sections of the band are: Beth

Chmiel and Tina Tatolli, captains of the pom squad; Kristin Ziolkowski and Malikah McKnight, captains of the flag units; and Michele Zupko, band captain. All of these leaders had to go through a series of tryouts to become captains; this included an interview with Mr. Dondero. In the fall, the N.D. Marching Unit practices for their performances. They also meet every Monday night during the summer, and go to a band camp in the Poconos for a week at the end of August. At camp, they average about ten hours of practice a day. To learn their routines, the band members also practice at home. At school practices they learn drills, memorize their parts, and put it all together. This year their routine consisted of All-American songs to celebrate the anniversary of the Constitution. They perform in parades, in competitions, and at all of N.D.'s Varsity football games. As a drum major in the Notre Dame Marching Unit, Kim Chianese feels her position is a great honor and is proud of the band. "This year we've come together well . All of the band members have been very cooperative . Because of all our hard work and long hours of practice, we have done great,'' said Kim. She also notes that although competitions are important, they are not the band's main concern. "Our main concern is to put on a good perf ormonee, and unite as a group.''

Hgh N~t~ยงnaitis According to music teacher Ellen Dondero, this year's Freshman Choir is a true success. This choir, consisting of nineteen freshman girls, projects a great amount of enthusiasm. Mrs. Dondero is impressed by their rapid progress and strong voices . She says they are always willing to try new techniques, such as acting exercises, to improve their technique and perf ormonee. The Freshman Choir is a regular credited class. "The point is to learn basic vocal production, because many of them have never sung before," said Mrs. Dondero . The students learn proper breathing and how to work as a group, which includes the skills of blending and tuning. She also says that "a girl doesn't have to have the best voice in the world" to get a good grade. Her efforts are what count. All of the girls in the Freshman Choir are very interested in voice. Some of them are also very interested in theater. "Freshman Choir has really improved my singing. This class was sort of a stepping stone to do bigger things, such as being in Concert Choir and this year's small cast musical, N.D. Salutes Broadway II," said member Eun A Ji. She signed up for this class to help her in further theatrical activities. The Freshman Choir performed at the Christmas and Spring Concerts and many school masses. Normally, they rehearsed in class, but when concerts were approaching, the dedicated group held after -school practices and attended the dress rehearsals.

Honorable Charges By : Megan Murphy What does it mean to be a member of the National Honor Society? According to 3-year member Laura Vrancik, "To be in the National Honor Society is one of the most prestigious honors bestowed on a student. It is an elite organization which concerns itself with the character. leadership, academic abilities, and service of each of its members. It is a blend of individuals who strive together to fulfill their potentials. And I'm glad that I have had the opportunity at Notre Dame to be a part of it." Though it is a privilege to be a member. to be appointed an N.H.S. officer is an even greater distinction signifying the respect and confidence of fellow members. "When I was elected Vice President, I was honored, naturally, but I was very eager to help make this school year a productive one ." said senior Cheryl Paglione . This year, under the guidance of their moderators. Sr. Mary Ann Peters

and Mrs. Bernice Zahorsky, the NJ~S. officers were largely responsible for a successful and respected chapter of this nationwide society. "Sr. Mary Ann and Mrs. Z are terrific moderators," said senior treasurer, Paul Goubeaud, "They care about the N.H.S. members. and it shows in what they do." The National Honor Society officers for the 1987-88 school year were president John Tullai, vice president Cheryl Paglione, secretary Kate Flynn. and treasurer Paul Goubeaud. When John accepted the position as president, he undertook several responsibilities, which included writing agendas for monthly meetings, processing tutoring requests from students. and supervising the activities in the tutoring room. The officers' commitment to N.H.S. and their leadership skills are clearly evidenced by the success of such N.H.S . projects as the Freshman Open House and Orientation, the Diocesan

Convention, and the Lions Fish Fry. Another large responsibility of N.H.S. members is acting as student guides. The student guides are members of the N.H.S. who assist the main office . One member is selected each day. That person's job is to deliver messages, run errands, and do some of the tedious paperwork. "The Student Guide's main job is to be a 'gopher' of sorts. They are there to assist in the Main Office, or wherever needed, in order to make the day run smoothly," said secretary Kate Flynn. Though the National Honor Society serves the school and community in several ways, it also does a great service to individual members. According to senior member Brian Barnock, "The criteria of the National Honor Society has always been an incentive for me to keep up my grades, and to keep abreast of the activities within school : It has helped me make the most of my four years at Notre Dame .''

There are four separate languages in the Foreign Language Society. They include: French, Spanish, German, and Latin . One of the prerequisites to membership in the Language Society is an "A" average for three consecutive semesters in that language. Students must also have at least a " B" average in all of their other subjects. Mrs. Mary DePuglio is the French Honor Society's Moderator. She feels that "it's almost a reward for students maintaining honors grades in that language''. Spanish moderator Joseph Poli agrees with this. Heading up both the German and Latin societies is Mr. Robert Wood. He claims that "the Foreign Language Society is harder to get into than the Honors Society' ' . Society members participate in a number of activities during the year. The members tutor language students who are having difficulties. During language week in the spring, activities included a Bake Sale and Induction ceremonies for new members. This year there was something new during language week, the language festival. The society gives students an opportunity to use their special talents and skills in the field of foreign languages to better prepare them for college.

Career Achievements Nationally Recognized By: Jim Hammerstone Mr. Vince Ardery, Notre Dame's Varsity Baseball Coach and Athletic Director for the past 19 years, received one of the eight National High School Coaching A wards presented annually by the American Baseball Coaches Association . H,e led his 1987 team to a 245 record, the best in Notre Dame's 30year History. By leading Notre Dame to win its third New J1ersey Championship in five years and , its fifth New Jersey Sectional Championship, Mr. Ardery recorded his 14th and 15th Championships in his 19 seasons at Notre Dame. Mr. Ardery had always wanted to be a baseball player. Upon his graduation

from college he had the opportunity to enter the ranks of the Los Angeles Dodgers Organization, but instead he accepted the position as Notre Dame's Varsity Baseball Coach and Athletic Director. Mr. Ardery has always worn Number 35, the number worn by Ralph Houk, manager of several Major League Baseball teams, including the New York Yankees and the Boston Red Sox. "He's a player's manager," said Mr. Ardery. "A coach is like a sales manager and the players are like the salesmen . Just as a sales manager is only as good as his salesmen, a coach is only as

TEAM EFFORT: Don Huggins, Rich Hutchinson, Ron Wilson, and Ed Pattick, seen here with Mr. Ardery, were only some of the players from the 1987 State Championship Baseball Team . 176

good as his players." Mr. Ardery's method of coaching is to divide the responsibilities among the Assistant Coaches. Mr. Frank Gatto takes charge of batting and Mr. John Simone oversees the pitching . "We try to discipline ourselves in practice to be ready for any opponent," said Mr. Ardery. Team morale is one of the greatest aspects of a winning season . "In the 1988 season we're forced to fill many openings," said Mr. Ardery . "We'll have to call upon our winning tradition and rise to the level of past teams."

Cashing In On Athletics Athletic scholarships are awarded to those students who show great promise in their sport. Scholarships are given to those athletes who have struggled to perfect their athletic ability as well as their grades. Scholastically, the athlete must have at least 700 in their SAT's and a 2.0 grade point average to qualify for any type scholarship. The scholarships granted correspond to the athletic divisions. Notre Dame usually qualifies for Division I, which is comprised of the top athletes in the area. This division offers scholarships based on superb athletic ability. There are no needs or qualifications; any class can receive it. This division pro-

vides up to full scholarship. Division II requires that the student athlete is unable to attend college without financial help. Division Ill does not offer scholarships, but financial aid is available. Athletic Scholarships create a definite feeling of competition in the athletes. Very few full scholarships are awarded, and only the best athletes receive them. Ninety-five football scholarships are given out each year, but only 13 to 15 are given out for other sports. "Notre Dame requires that its coaches get in touch with the college coaches." said Vince Ardery, Notre

By: Chris Zullo

Dame's Athletic Director. This keeps both informed of outstanding athletes, and information is exchanged. During this process, college scouts find the students they would like to attend their schools. Students are invited to visit the college free of charge. If the college asks a student to visit, chances are the student will be awarded a scholarship. Notre Dame receives $300,000 a year for its students, thanks to outstanding athletes like the Donovan brothers, Paul Goubeaud, Marc Celentano and Kendra Ernst, Notre Dame students who have all been offered scholarships.

None But The Bold By: Chris Zullo The Notre Dame football team continued in the fashion spectators have grown to expect . The Irish, led by Varsity Coach Choppy Moore, won their 6th CVC championship. According to Assistant Coach Bill O'Brien, team captains Jerry Wargo, Bill Kenney, Dexter Johnson, and Steve Tackas not only had the talent to bring the team to victory, but also the ability to pull a large group together to play as a true team . Mr. O'Brien .. along with Mr. Frank Gatto, Mr. Carl Anderson, Mr. Bernie Boyle, and Mr. Jaroni supported Mr. Moore as assistant coaches. The assistant coaches were impressed with the athletic ability of the team as well as the balance of personalities that brought the team to victory . "All the games of the season had their special moments, none can be rated against the other. But in the West Windsor game, the kids proved they wanted to win 路and that they knew how to win . Everything came together," said Mr. O'Brien . The Homecoming game against Steinert also showed that this year's team had what it takes to win. Homecoming king and team captain Steve Tackas verified that there was a certain combination required for success. " The team pulled together because of respect . We look to each other for strength during the game. Everybody is just about equal on the field. I try to take that off the field and into my personallife too. Being a nice guy never hurts," said Steve. The Irish record, 10-1 proves that a well-rounded, well-informed team can pull together for victory .

PigskinBy : Tales Suzanne Bowling For most people, the high school football season begins with the 路first game, usually the last week of September. For these same people, it ends with the last game, late November or the first week in December if the team makes it to the championships. For the players though, the season is much longer. It's late August, most of us are 路still lounging around the pool or lying on the beach, but most of us are not football players. For them, practice has already begun . For two weeks, the teams have "double sessions", practice in the morning and again in the afternoon . This is called camp . At the end of the two weeks, the traditional Blue and White game is held. The varsity team is divided in half and a game is played . As school begins and the season officially starts, practice is held daily after school and does not end until after the last game is played . When the season is officially over, the players are forced to look for other ways to keep in shape. This is important if they plan to play the following year. Some of them play for the basketball, basebalL and winter or spring track teams. They also have the opportunity to work out in the weight room three times a week . This past year, a liftathon was held to raise money for football equipment . Each player got people to sponsor him for a certain amount of money for every pound he lifted on the bench press. As you can see, football is not an easy sport . It takes strength, enduronce, and dedication. Practices are long and hard in comparison to the length of games. But, because of the tough workouts the team goes through, Notre Dame has built up a winning reputation and when the victory flag is raised , everyone on the team knows that it's worth it.

World Class Sport

By: Jennifer Marue

What one sport has sparked the interest of millions of high school and college students around the United States? The sport is soccer and its popularity continues to spread throughout the world . Many countries have professional soccer teams who play before sold-out stadiums of wildly spirited fans, and children as young as five or six years old are being taught the basics of soccer. Still, the core of the soccer craze seems to be on high school and college campuses, where the enthusiasm is generated from the students themselves. The number of traveling soccer teams in the U.S. is increasing rapidly, but their tournaments are not limited to the fifty states alone . Many leagues send their teams abroad to foreign countries to gain experience, not only in playing the game itself, but in learning good sportsmanship between foreign students their own ages. Notre Dame has its own traveling soccer star. Not only is he a Varsity soccer captain and an important contributor to the Irish team, but senior Joe Stanzione has played league soccer for the West End Green Lightning team for the past ten years . Coached by Mr. Pat Murphy, head coach at Pennington Prep, the team members come from local Mercer high schools such as

Hopewell, Ewing, PDS, Princeton, Nottingham, Lawrenceville Prep, Lawrence, and of course Notre Dame . "The experience of being with the West End Green Lightning for ten years has been phenomenal," said Joe, " I've become more than just teammates with the players. They have become friends who I've seen at many other compe't itions throughout school years." With his team, Joe has played soccer in many East Coast states, including New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Connecticut, Virginia, Washington D.C., and Maryland. Earning a total of 31 tournament championships as well as placing in the state championship four times, the team played on a tenday tour in Ireland and in the North American Cup championship held in Canada . "Winning tournaments and cups is a great feeling that can't be replaced. I regret losing the team to a new life at college, but I'll never forget walking on the field hoping to win with my friends," said Joe. "The team has helped my entrance into college because of its record and reputation." Brandeis, Holy Cross, Lycoming, and Elizabethtown are Joe's four main college choices, and he will, no doubt, play soccer at the college he selects.

Getting A Share By: Chris King According to coach Mike Perone, the Notre Dame boys' soccer team had the right mixture to defeat any team . Led by head coach Perone and captains Dave Carmignani and Joe Stanzione, the team soared toward a victorious season and a state championship, completing the season with a 17-4-4 record . "We had a great season . I was really pleased with the outcome," said Dave Carmignani. There was a certain unity among the players which sparked the winning attitude . "No one player could do it alone; in order to win, we had to work together," said starting left fullback Joe Stanzione. The offensive squad was led by Paul Burroughs who scored 20 goals in the season, making him the third highest scorer in the county. Dean Graziano was also a crucial player. He helped contribute to many Irish victories both offensively and defensively. Defensively, the Irish became the "Iron Curtain" led by Joe Stanzione, Dave Carmignani, Paul Goubeaud, and Eric Degler. The season was capped off by the Irish sharing the state title with Bergen Catholic .

What A Kick

By: Mary Ann Gocke

The girl's Varsity Soccer team had a "respectable" season, according to their coach Mrs. Koschek. For the third year in a row the team won the eve championship . This year, they were co-champs with rival Steinert High. "It was a good season considering the number of seniors ( 6) we lost last year," said Coach Koschek . The seniors that the team lost held starting positions, which meant that this year there was a period of adjustment for the remaining players. But the adjustments didn't hamper their performance, because they finished the season with a 16-6 record, which ranked them thirteenth in the state. About her players Coach Koschek said, "There's alot of talent ." Next year Coach Koschek is hoping for an even better season. She expects the four returning juniors, Jill Branham, Gwynn Caldwell, Danielle Dimarco, and Stacy Kemler to be the nucleus of the team . "I expect them to carry the team. All they have done for the past three years is work, work, work and they have never stopped ." Coach Koschek also has high expectations of returning sophomores. "I hope to bounce back next year and have a better season," said Coach Koschek. 1

Major Teamwork Leads To Major Teamwork By: Chris King Champion field hockey teams have been a consistent trademark of Notre Dame's athletic department, according to team statistics from past years. This year, the girls' team was determined to take it all the way, and playing up to their expectations is exactly what they did. The Irish girls captured the 198 7 Colonial Valley title and became tne Central Jersey Champs. They finished the season with a record of 16-5-1.

"They were a good group to work with . I could relate to them on a oneto-one basis on or off the field," said coach Barbara Majors. This year's captains, Kendra Ernst, Kate Flynn, and Allison Brady kept the spirit of the team alive. "Playing with close friends made the season even more important,'' said Allison Brady, "all of us wanted a winning season .'' "Being close friends, we worked well together, bringing more wins," said

senior left link Adrienne Russin. Four-year starter Kendra Ernst demonstrated her skills this year with 15 goals, to build a strong offensive attack . Kate Flynn provided offensive as well as defensive skill, contributing to many of the Irish victories. Though the season ended with a heart -breaking loss against Toms River North, the Irish definitely proved themselves a tough team, remaining strong throughout the ·entire season .

A Real Comeback

By : Ann Marie Nestor

Known as Miss Teresa Merlo when she started Notre Dame's tennis team in 1982, she returned in 1987 in full force as Mrs. Teresa Berkeley to lead the girls' varsity tennis team through an excellent winning season, with fifteen wins and five losses. They then topped this record by capturing the CVC (Colonial Valley Conference) championship . Between her years of coaching tennis at ND, Miss Merlo left for a year to get married and move to Virginia. She returned at the beginning of this year to find some changes. Not only had quite a few new members joined the team, but this was also the first year that there was a junior varsity team as well as a varsity . The team members said that Mrs. Berkeley conditioned them both physically and mentally and always seemed to be on the same wavelength as the rest of the team . "We liked to have fun, but when it came to work, we worked hard . We always seemed to pull together in a pinch," said second singles player Cheryl Paglione . That seems to be how to build a unifying force, and the team and their coach knew what it was all about .

Over Hill, Over Dale Dedication, hard work, and the desire to run year round is the combination that makes Notre Dame's boys' and girls' cross country team tick. This past season the boys' record was 105, with the highlight of their season being a second consecutive win in the Williamstown lnvitationals. The girls' final record was 6-3; the highlights of their season included winning the match against rival Lawrence High and placing third in all of Mercer County. For the past three years, Mr. Joe Wroblewski has been the head coach of the team. His assistant coach for the past two years has been Mr. Tim Sewnig, and this year, Brother John O'Brien joined the coaching staff as a second assistant. "The season couldn't be successful without the hard work and dedication that Mr. Sewnig and Broth-

er John bring to the team. I don't consider them assistant coaches; we work together as equals and this is what makes our team so strong," said Mr. Wroblewski. For the first time in the school's history, the boys' cross country runners have three consecutive 10-win seasons. Cross country is a trying sport, physically and emotionally. "The kids run up to 70 miles in a week at times, practicing for a 3-mile run which will be over in one day, and if they lose, the previous running feels like a waste," explained Mr. Wroblewski. On the girls' cross country team, the most valuable players were junior Michelle Dey and sophomore Erin Kane. On the boys' team, the key runners, all seniors, were Steve Chukumba, Gene Dorr, Mike Molignano, and Bobby Reali.

"Cross country is a great sport. Although you have the team ex perience, the factor that sets cross country apart from other sports is that it is an individual sport. When we run, we run alone. I like that though because it gives me time to think about things I don't normally have time to think about . Being outdoors is also an advantage; after being inside all day it's relaxing," explains senior and 4-year runner Gene Dorr. Next year's squad also has a bright future. Returning Varsity runners on the boys' squad will be Dave Klosinski, Anthony Chukumba, and Will Bowser; for the girls' team, Michelle Dey and Erin Kane will be returning. "Let's hope that we can make it a 4-consecutive 10-win season," concluded Mr. Wroblewski.

Have you ever encountered a large mass of sweaty athletes running through the upstairs halls of Notre Dame? Due to the often inclement winter weather, the winter track team changes the upstairs corridors into their main practicing track. Practices range from 45 minutes to two hours. Sprinters, or short-term runners, usually alternate their practice time with intervals of running and jogging. Mid-distance and long-distance track members can run for up to one hour straight. The team practices every day but Sunday, and loyal members benefit from practices . Without frequent practices, track members may get out of shape for the meets. "The practices are hard work but we all need to go to them," said Bob Merunka, a sophomore sprinter. Seniors Mike Molignano, Carrie Prophett, and Debbie Carozza all contri-

bute to the success of the team . They also expect to continue running track through their college years. Juniors Michelle Dey, Joe Heitzman, Anthony Chukumba, Ed McDonald, and Dave Klosinski have all run exceptionally well this season and hold a promising future for next year. Will Bowser, Ken Ward, Erin Kane, and Liz Kennedy are strong sophomore members of the track team. The team members are encouraged by their coaches, Mr. Sewnig and Brother John. Cathy Molignano. a sophomore sprinter, said they are both "effective and supportive of the team". According to Mr. Sewnig, the girls have had a strong season, losing only to Princeton and Trenton, but the boys have had a slightly harder time of it. However, the boys are pushing for improvements and are looking forward to next season.

Schafer Brews A Winning Season By: Mary Anne Gocke It has been a year of trial and error, a year of hard work . This year, the boys' varsity basketball team has a new head coach, Mr. Greg Schafer. Mr. Schafer has coached other N.D. teams before but not as a head coach, and he has led them to impressive seasons. " This year has been a changing year, a year of establishment," said Coach Schafer. He is training the players to think with his mentality, a mentality that requires motivation on the players' part . "I want them to run through a wall for me. And now we're finally getting somewhere," said Coach Schafer. The team is a small one and Coach Schafer says he wants them to have a "we" attitude, to sac-

rifice for the good of the team . Coach Schafer spoke appreciatively of seniors Marc Celentano and Ron Wilson . "Marc can put the ball in the basket and he has a great defense. Ron Wilson is very resourceful; he can find a way to put the ball in the basket, " said Coach Schafer. He is also proud of seniors Jimi Ashford, Matt Holland, Carla Iavarone, and John Tullai, a group that he called the "work horses of the team" . " The team is strong; they have a tenacious man-to-man defense," said Coach Schafer. ''I'm going to have a good foundation to work on from the returning players, they will carry out my ideas.''

Freshman Nicole Harrison came as a big surprise to ND girls' basketball fans this past year. "It's unusual for a freshman to be playing varsity .b ut she has a real talent as a rebounder and inside shooter," said one of her teammates. The team was led by a strong senior contingent of Sue Repko, Kendra Ernst, Kate Flynn, and Stephanie Zielinski. Michelle Mazotas, a 6'2" junior, was a key rebounder and inside shooter. Mazotas and Harrison were two of the leading scorers in the county. Mr. Simone is the person responsible for taking all of these talents and making them work well together. "He's tough but he's been coaching for a while and he knows what he's doing," said one of his players. This was his 11th year of coaching and he has led his teams to over 200 victories. For the first time, the team added aerobics to their practice program. Each day, they began with a short workout led by Miss Wargo. This not only conditioned the players but they enjoyed the music. As one team member put it, "It's fun to stay in shape and it's much better than sprints."

This year the format of after -school practices for the girls' basketball team changed . To improve their performance on the court, an aerobic workout was added to their practice routine . "The goal of the extra workout before basketball practice is first, to get the girls warmed up," said Ms. Wargo, the team's aerobic instructor. "It should also make the girls a half step faster, strengthen their muscles, and increase their cardio-vascular system," said Ms. Wargo. Basketball coach Mr. Simone and Ms. Wargo worked together on the idea. "We just combined the grace of dance with athletics," said Mr. Simone. Mr. Simone also participates in the aerobic workout . "It's great to have Mr. Simone work out with us. It gives us all more inspiration to go on sometimes," said team member Joy Daly. Ms. Wargo was more than happy to guide the girls through the aerobic workout. "It's not a job, it's a privilege," she said. Ms. Wargo was raised in a very athletic family and thoroughly believes in the positive effects that athletics bring. She also thinks that all athletes would find aerobics beneficial to their practices. It took a while but the players on the girls' basketball team soon began to agree with her. "At first I didn't think I would like it much, but now, I'm kind of into it. It's great for conditioning," said Senior team member Stephanie Zielinski. Ms. Wargo took courses in aerobics in college and now does personal research on the subject. She belongs to a health club to keep herself in shape . She choreographs the workout as well as teaching it. Although this is the first year of the aerobic portion of basketball practice, Ms. Wargo and Mr. Simone foresee positive results and hope they can continue it next year.

Fire On Ice The Ice Hockey Team was anything but cold this season. Coach Joe Henry and school representative Mr. Gatto led the team through a sizzling season that culminated in a giant victory over Hightstown in the Mercer County Ice Hockey Tournament . The team's strength can be partially attributed to the experience of returning players, including four seniors: James Sannella, Jim Toto, Andy LaRue, and Assistant Captain Pete Kelley. Captain Marc Nelson and Assistant Captain John Demers also helped pull the team together. "We are a very tight -knit team, giving each other support when needed. Most of us are friends off the ice too," said Jim Toto. Aside from the tournament, the most memorable game was the second game against Hightstown when the Irish beat the only undefeated

team in Mercer County. John Demers scored the winning goal in the last two seconds of the game. "It'll be great to look back on," said John. "The guys have got to love the sport." said Mr. Gatto. "Ice time is very limited; we practice at 5:30 A.M. sometimes." The team practices at Mercer County Park and Lawrenceville Prep's rink because N.D. does not have a rink. "Pride, Discipline, and Tradition", the N.D. Ice Hockey motto, is a tribute to the success they have achieved. "On the ice, Coach Joe Henry works us hard and sticks to his priorities. We give him a lot of respect for that. No one is treated special or favored . He treats us all the same. He plays us on ability, which I feel is great," said senior Jim Toto.

Swift Swims

By : Bridget Hayes

Although their record may not show it. this year's Notre Dame Swim Team was one of the best ever. More records were broken than in years past. The team pulled together and came out with a great season . Out of the four records broken at county meets, three of them were broken by Notre Dame swimmers. Joey Ruberto, voted most valuable swimmer, broke one in the 100-yard freestyle, and another one in the 200yard individual medley. Brent Morehart broke one in the 200-yard freestyle . Dean Micale, Joe Ruberto, Bruce Hornick, and Brent Morehart won first place in a relay . These four swimmers also went on to the states. "Being my senior year, I had hoped the team could have come out with a better record. But we had a great time, and I'm not disappointed," said one senior swimmer. "We had some of the best swimmers in Mercer County," said coach Peggy Calamia. "Every swimmer worked hard, and more records were broken this year than ever before."

Lane & Lynne Lead Line-Up By : Chris King

The Notre Dame Wrestling Team, under the direction of Coach Gary Dambro, has completed another successful season with a record of 5-8-1 . According to Mr. Dambro, the wrestlers' success can be attributed to the fine accomplishments of senior Greg Lane and junior Tod Lynne. "Wrestling's a tough sport; most people don't realize all the hard work you have to put into it in order to gain something from it," said Tod. According to Coach Dambro. Tod's record was definitely well deserved.'' Another boast to the Irish wrestling team is Greg Lane. "Each match is a challenge, taking on a different contender; I enjoy the excitement of winning the most," said Greg. "If each wrestler works up to their

potential as the team standouts did this year, we are bound to come out strong next year," said Coach Dambro . The team posted a competitive record in CVC competition. Mr. Dambro, in his 20th season as the ND pilot, called the team "a group which can really work to their abilities as long as they strive.'' Mr. Dambro cited tough competitions against Nottingham, West Windsor, and Hightstown as some of the most challenging matches of the season . According to Mr. Dambro, despite some of the downfalls during the county and district tournament, ''the team is looking forward to a better year, using this season as a stepping stone .''

''The Keggling Cr~~:~merstone When Mr. Steven Schultz arrived at Notre Dame in the 1983-84 school year, he reintroduced the sport of bowling for the first time in five years . Bowling had been eliminated as a sport at Notre Dame in 1979 because there was no pne to coach the team . "The team had been going through a rebuilding stage in the past few years," said Mr. Schultz. "This year's team was energetic, responsible, and well-disciplined . They were the best team I'd ever had and I'm proud of them .'' The Notre Dame bowling team belongs to the Lower Bucks County League . The team is divided into four groups: Varsity Boys, Varsity Girls, Junior Varsity Boys, and Junior Varsity Girls. They bowl at Colonial Lanes where they hold two practices and one match each week . A match winner is determined on a best -out -ofthree-individual-games basis.

18-19 record and the girls ended with a 14-14 record . This year's team was also a very young team . There were only two seniors on varsity while the two Varsity Boys' captains were sophomores Tom Lipesey and James Muscianesi . "In the future we're just going to continue to work hard because we've made it to the County Sectional Tournament for the first time this year with such a young team . Next year we hope to make the State Final," said Varsity Captain Tom Lipesey . "I definitely see bowling as becoming a more recognized sport in the future here at Notre Dame," said Mr. Schultz, who is an expert bowler himself. He has been bowling for 22 years and has an average of 205. "Mr. Schultz is a great coach who is determined to make us the best team we can possibly be. He gives us a lot of support," said Varsity bowler Joe Cicco .

ND Spirit Leaders By: Jill Laurinaitis "The potential of this year's Varsity Cheerleading Squad was outstanding. They realized working together leads to a successful season," said Varsity Cheerleading Coach Peggy Miller. The varsity girls were willing to work their hardest to make this year fulfilling. "Last year, all juniors made up the Varsity team. This year's seniors had last year's experiences to look back on . We've made mistakes, and learned a lot that helped make this year a good one,'' said senior Jen Busch. This year, the Varsity Cheerleading Squad put on their first performance at the Blue and White Day Pep Rally. Their routine was a dance done to a mix of three songs: 路"Great Balls of Fire", "Wipe Out", and "Oh Yeah!" . Their precision and energy provoked much applause from the audience. The girls cheer two seasons out of the year. In the fall, Erin Connolly and Kim Hutchinson were the team's captains, and Jennifer Busch and Jill Laurinaitis led the squad for the winter season. With an average of 2 or 3 games a week, the cheerleaders' schedules are filled. On the days they do not have games, they practice, rehearsing their routines for upcoming competitions. cheerleading means more than being in top physical shape and having a big mouth. "You have to become part of the teams, support them, and want them to win. This means even if a particular sport is not your favorite," says junior Suzanne Bowling. Cheerleading means cheering the football team on to victory even in snowy 30掳 weather. It means not always being recognized for your efforts. "Most importantly, cheerleading means being very committed, spirited, enthusiastic; being able to work well with others; and having an abundance of patience," said Mrs. Miller. This is what it takes to have a special squad. Mrs. Miller is also very pleased with the J.V. squad, coached by Maureen Kelly, and the Freshman squad, coached by Miss Pam Pirone. The J.V. Cheerleading Squad can be seen cheering the J.V. football team and the J.V. boys soccer team on to victory . In the winter season, they faithfully attend all of the boys' J.V. basketball games.

Logically Speaking This year a new humanities course was added to the curriculum. Taught by Mr. Bill O'Brien, Introduction to Logic and Critical Thinking has become one of the most popular courses for the upperclassmen . The goal of the course is to help students become better writers and better thinkers. Mr. O'Brien hopes that the students will "learn to think and come to some conclusions about the society we live in today". Some of the topics covered include: nuclear war, censorship, pornography, affirmative action, abortion, and euthanasia . "This course has really helped me to prepare for college. The topics that

cussions in other classes," said one student who plans to be a psychology major at the University of Maryland. "I would recommend this course to anyone who could take it. Granted, it's not an easy course, but my writing skills have greatly improved,'' said senior Michele Hayes, who plans on attending Michigan State University. The course has been very successful. According to students, Mr. O'Brien is a tough teacher, but they feel their efforts will pay off because they will come away from the course with a more in-depth understanding of society, as well as better writing skills.

Help Wanted: Teachers

By: Stasio Thompson

Although students often do not realize the importance of their mandatory Biology, Chemistry, and Math classes, what they learn from them plays a major role in their everyday lives and futures. That is one reason why the high school science and math curriculums are so important and why well-qualified science and math teachers are essential. But many schools are having difficulty finding these personnel. There are many people studying these disciplines in college today, yet many are not coming out with plans of teaching. "It's hard to find people to teach sciences because much more money is being offered in industry. Also, industries support research, and more people would rather do research than teach," said Chemistry teacher Christine Dilorio. "It's important to have good science teachers because we are building the technologists of tomorrow in today's classrooms." In the past 8 years, the science curriculum in our schools hps changed drastically. This is because of the trend toward teaching more advanced subject matter on an earlier level. According to Mrs. Dilorio, some material that was once being taught in college is now being taught on the high school level. "Therefore, the college teachings have to go beyond what they previously taught in order to keep up/' explained Mrs. Dilorio. As a result, Chemistry and Physics have been upgraded in high school and students are benefiting because they are more prepared if they plan to pursue a college degree in a field of science. "There used to be a large gap between high school and college level materials, but this change has brought them closer together," said Mrs. Dilorio. This change in curriculum has made the need for science teachers even more important but the higher salaries that can be gained in industry continue to draw many would-be teachers away rom the education field. Stu-

dents finishing college with a B.S. degree have choices. "We need to motivate people towards science careers because it is vital to our society,'' said Mrs. Dilorio. And one of these careers is teaching. To encourage more people to pursue education careers in math and science, New Jersey, as well as other states, has raised teacher salaries and implemented such programs as the Alternate Route to Teacher Certification, which trains people from other fields (in industry or business) to teach. loHom/ENDANGERED SPECIES: Mrs. Susan Krempasky, whose classes include Honors Chemistry and Honors Physics. teaches material that was once taught on the coUege level.

Let's Get The Copy Rght! By: Chris Zullo This year, a new approach was used to train staff members for the Canticle. In order to instruct students on how to produce a more accurate account of the year, a special class was added to the curriculum, along with a new teacher. Ms. Suboleski assumed the responsibility of teaching a Journalism class for students interested in writing copy for the yearbook. The class contained a mix of students, sophomores through seniors. According to Ms. Suboleski, the objective was to train the students to produce yearbook copy that adheres to the basic rules of journalistic writing . The class enables the students to have a hands-on, workshop experience. The students go out into the school in search of that "hot" story. Sometimes it is found; other times it is not. "At ti"mes it can be very frustrating. It gets hard to schedule interviews and get all the information needed for our articles. But, when we see the finished product, it will all be worth it," said senior Audra Whitaker. The class teaches the students things they will never forget. The skills needed to be a successful journalist cannot be learned sitting in a classroom all the time. The students feel that it is better to be able to get practice, article after article. The yearbook articles, once all information has been included, are then ready for editing . "It seems like the story will never be perfect enough; I rewrite them over and over, but then, it really is good," said student journalist Suzanne Bowling . The students also learn to accept criticism and learn from their mistakes. Next year, the course will be somewhat different. The course will still emphasize journalistic writing, but will not concentrate strictly on yearbook writing. It will cover different areas of journalistic writing, including yearbook, magazine, and newspaper styles, and will be open to all students interested in any of these areas.

Playing The Data Game

By: Mary Ann Gocke

As computers have gained more importance in today's world, an expansion of the computer curriculum has taken place. Notre Dame has added more courses and computers. Fred Hochschild, who supervises the computer curriculum, feels that this addition is very beneficial. "You can't go anywhere in the real world today and not use computers," said Mr. Hochschild . The courses offered range from an Introduction to Computers to Advanced Placement Topics in Computer Science. Others include Computer Programming and AP Computer Science. The most challenging course is AP Topics in Computer Science; it is a continuation of the AP course in computer science. Each year the curriculum for the class changes. ~tudents who take this course must be serious about using computers in their future. The course is very difficult and is equal to a sophomore level college class. Critical and in depth thinking are very important to the success of the student in this course. Students work on projects that involve writing programs that a business might use. Senior Jeff Lynch, who intends to major in

computer science in college, feels "the class is very interesting and definitely involved. It's very time consuming. Sometimes our projects take about four weeks to complete," said Jeff. According to Mr. Hochschild, Notre Dame has one of the best computer science curriculums on the high school level. "I doubt that you could find too many other high schools that offer such in-depth programs," said Mr. Hochschild. As for Notre Dame's future in computers, Mr. Hochschild says he is looking to expand the curriculum offerings. "We offer some good courses and I would like to see the program expand, but there is a problem because we don't have the physical space, enough money, or enough periods in the day," said Mr. Hochschild. He thinks it would be good for the school if we did have more options in the computer curriculum, seeing that computers are playing a major role in the world today.

Language ''Around TheBy:World'' Catherine Kovacs The bell rings and as you sink down into your seat, you prepare your brain for forty minutes of a class in which the terminology is mostly foreign. Perhaps this is why French teacher Christine Kaplan feels that there should be an "affinity between the student and the language studied and that it should coincide with the student's personality and feelings". The other teachers of the 5 languages offered at ND agree that a student's interest in language is important and that it encourages the student to want to learn more beyond the two years required. According to Spanish teacher Joan DeGregorio, in order to have the full benefit of that language, a four -year study should be considered. Although only so much material can be covered within two years, most teachers do feel that a student should at least be able to speak and understand the basic phrases, culture, and geography of that country. Foreign cultures help us to uhderstand the English language better and make us more aware of other cultures.

Robert Wood, who teaches Latin and German, feels that foreign languages help us to realize that we shouldn't look through the eyes of English-speaking people exclusively. French teacher Mary DePuglio agrees. "It is important to speak to someone in their own language. It shows we have respect for them as a separate culture," said Mrs. DePuglio. It is a big world, and English is only a small part of it. Studying the fashion, music, and literature of other cultures teaches us how they appear in relation to ours. "We can learn from other cultures, let them broaden our minds. We can learn more about life and how to solve problems" said Maria Zullo, who teaches Italian and Spanish. By learning a foreign language, you are preparing yourself for a future, not only in business and travel, but in your everyday activities, because wherever you go there are people of various origins. America is afterall "the melting pot". Notre Dame offers 5 different languages. These include French, German, Italian, Latin and Spanish.

Getting A Head Start On Old News

By: Catherine Kovacs

The Advanced Placement History course is geared to prepare the students to use organizational skills that will be necessary in college . They are taught to think and analyze, not to memorize, and to understand the relationship between past and present . Writing is the most important aspect of the course, according to both Mr. Milinowicz and Miss Giampetro. By the end of the two years in the AP History course, the student should have mastered the technique of research . "It gives the student the opportunity to write in an analytical sense," said Miss Giampetro. The AP History course allows the student to take a test for college credit at the end of the two years. The test is graded on a scale from 1-5 with 3 as a passing grade. If you pass, you can

earn up to 6 college credits in a Social Studies course. "It's a very tough course because of the writing," said AP-I student Jenny Tyne. She also feels it is helpful because of the challenge it imposes. Should there be more courses like this? Jenny feels that there should, because "if you're better in science or something else, you still have an opportunity at the same credit." "It's a lot of hard work, but you can make it work for you; it just takes time and hard work," said Jenny.

Queen Of Peace Provides Just That

By: Audra Whitaker

This year Notre Dame has added a new dimension to its Religious Studies Program. Father Dennis organized a program that gives each senior a chance to go on an overnight retreat with friends and teachers. The trips began after school on a Tuesday. In the Notre Dame parking lot, seniors loaded buses bound for Queen of Peace Retreat House in Newton, New Jersey. The retreat house was formerly a monastery; it is now used mainly for people with drug and alcohol addictions. When the students arrived in Newton, two hours after their departure, they were greeted by Father Dennis and faculty. After rules were reviewed, students were shown to their rooms . Boys and girls were placed on separate floors with chaperones placed respectively . The theme of the retreats was "You are Blessed". A group activity held after the 6:00 dinner affirmed students' good qualities and helped them to admit to their weaknesses. Later in the evening reconciliation

services were held. Afterwards, students were given time to speak personally with Father Dennis or Queen of Peace Retreat Coordinator, Father Charles. Everyone gathered after mass to watch a movie . On some retreats, the students watched "Mask" while later groups watched "Dirty Dancing" . In each film students were instructed to watch the character development of the main character. Around 12:00 A.M ., a 20 minute prayer service was held. This service was the last activity that students were obligated to attend; from 12:30 on, everything was optional, including sleep. Many students say they didn't get much sleep, and it's no wonder. A number of activities were scheduled for the early morning hours. A "share session" to promote group discussion did not end until 2:00 A.M. This was followed by a movie ending at 3:30 A.M . and late night games, including cards and Pictionary . "The share session was really nice, it was casual and

we just talked," said senior Beth Woody . Not long after those who went to bed fell asleep, Father Dennis rang the wake-up bell at 7:45 A.M. and students went to breakfast and a morning prayer service . Another session of group talks was then held, during which students wrote letters to the most important people in their lives. Afterwards, students were offered free time for reflection or game playing. The most touching moment of the entire trip was Wednesday's postlunch liturgy. Letters received from parents and teachers moved many of the students. These letters affirmed everyone's value as both pupils and children . "Almost everybody cried," said senior Denise Liedtka. The retreat was a successful addition to the religious studies program . It was a learning experience for both students and teachers . "We talked all night; I got to know people a lot better; we talked about our feelings, our true selves," said Rich Zola .

In The Planning Stages

By: Chris King

The Creative Arts Department offers many choices in its curriculum; one of these is Mechanical Drawing I. "Mechanical Drawing I is a basic course introducing the fundamentals and procedures of drafting," said instructor Bernard Boyle. Students who take the course have a variety of career -oriented interests. ''It's a good class because I have an interest in engineering, and I can use the course to better my understanding," said sophomore Mike Hodnicki. The program is designed for students who have any interest in mechanics, electronics, physics, or architecture. To follow up Mechanical Drawing I, the Art Department also offers an Architecture course. In this course, each student learns how to design a house and draw the blueprints for it. "These

classes are good for the students; they help open up opportunities for the future," said Mr. Boyle. "Through the class, the students can see if they really have an interest in artistic design and drafting." Some students who took the class were not sure of their talents in the field of architecture. "I took the course to see it I really had a knack for the graphing; surprisingly enough I really like the class," said sophomore Jomar Stakun. "My first incentive to enroll in the class was my interest in math. There is alot of mathematical application to the course.'' According to Mr. Boyle, the class has become a major part in the Business Arts Program and "it continues to grow yearly".

A Pack Of Lifesavers

By: Jenn McMahon

Have you ever been in a room when a person stopped breathing? Were you or was someone else able to resuscitate that person? CPR has become an important issue in today's society . It is encouraged by schools, hospitals, and the American Red Cross because it saves many lives. As more people learn CPR, less deaths occur. Sudden and unexpected cessation of the heart can occur anywhere and at anytime; therefore, the more people that can perform CPR, the better. For these reasons, the Red Cross Club held a CPR course to certify students in Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation . Thirty-five Athletic Trainers and students attended the course directed by Mr. Martin. The majority of the stu-

dents passed; however, some had to take a retest . After the retest, all students received a 1-year certification for performing CPR. The students were taught mouth-tomouth on resuscitation Annie, a lifesized doll from the American Red Cross . They learned First Aid for choking and heart attacks . They also watched films on what to do in an emergency situation . "The course was a learning experience and I had a lot of fun . Now I feel confident in performing CPR if an emergency should occur," said Matt Gominiak , a sophomore Athletic Trainer. By offering the course, Notre Dame has made contributions to society by preparing their students to handle lifethreatening situations.

Only The Strong Survive By: Suzanne Bowling In November, the United States Marines invaded ND and administered the Marine Physical Fitness tests to all levels. The test is given each year to evaluate the physical strength of high school students and to make students aware of their athletic capabilities. The first event was the 300-yard run. "It was difficult in the beginning but at least I know I'm in shqpe," said Sophomore Liz Ryan. As the news spread around school, students who had not yet gone to gym began to get nervous. Next, students were tested to see how many situps they could do in two minutes. "It was tough, but I did 71. Now I have a black and blue mark across my stomach," remarked Sophomore Matt Gominiak. The students'

ability to do push-ups was tested next. This was a non-timed event. For the boys, pull-ups were next while the girls did the flexed arm hang. Both boys and girls participated in the standing broad jump. Although most of the students were exhausted after taking these tests, their recovery was swift. They now have another 365 days to get in shape for next year's short but memorable trip to boot camp.

Technically Sound

By : Anne Marie Nestor

Since the arrival of Instructor Jeff Hutchins in 1981. the technical theater department has grown rapidly . With twenty-five students involved in the theater tech classes. the department is quickly expanding . Mr. Hutchins teaches one technical class per week, which is divided into two sections. with the upperclassmen helping to teach the lowerclassmen. The technical theater curriculum is based on a four-year program that is composed of 4 five-credit courses. All areas of technical theater are covered with a particular area being stressed each year. The four major areas are lighting design, set design, theater management, and sound make up. But what makes the technical theater program so important? Why has it grown so greatly and so fast? Just last year, Notre Dame's production of 1776 burned enough electricity for six houses anytime the stage lights were turned on. A production like this requires applying a great deal of techni-

cal expertise . The sound and lighting are essential to the overall effect of a production and the way the audience's senses are impacted. "It is the technical applied to the arts," explained Mr. Hutchins. Try to imagine a theatrical production without lighting, sound, or even a stage. Not only could you not see or hear the performers. but all of the mystery would be taken away . Technical theater has become as important as the actors and actresses. In any scene all of these are interwoven into a single unit, designed to impact the emotions. senses. and thoughts of the audience . Subtract one of these elements. and the impact is significantly diminished. In the strive for perfection. the actors. the actresses. and the technical theater crew reach for continual improvement . For this reason the technical theater curriculum at Notre Dame is expected to grow in the coming years.

The "Evening of Theatrics" presented by Notre Dame High School has grown over the past five years from a small backstage presentation to a full production consisting of dramatic material that has made an impact on the theater world. For this "Evening", Ms. Miriam Mills said when she directed Notre Dame's advanced acting workshop class she was "endeavoring to introduce the audience to the theater of the Avant Garde". The first act had all of the members of the cast performing Voices from the High School, written by Peter Dee. The scenes presented the true emotional aspects of teenagers' high school years. Teenage suicide, teenage pregnancy, child abuse, and alienation were portrayed; on a more humorous, upbeat leveL teenage romance and dreams of becoming a rock star were also portrayed. The audience, which was made up of mostly high school students, found it much easier to relate to the first act than to the second, which consisted of material that was much more abstract. According to Ms. Mills, the playwrights of Act II, Antonin Artaud and Jean-Claude Vanitalle, shared a questioning of everything that the modern world holds as ritual. Throughout this act, the worlds "I love you" were expressed in numerous ways to show how the phrase can be used to describe all kinds of emotions, ranging from deep passion to real and sometimes painful love. When members of the audience did not understand the message behind some of the scenes, they seemed to try to make up for it by laughing, which made it difficult for the performers. Ms. Mills further explained the meaning behind Act II by saying, "Those ideas which seem to have meaning are meaningless. Heroes are not in fact heroes at all. Too much organization is dangerous. These two playwrights question mechanization, automation, and computerization. The danger seems to lie in a loss of identity. The technical work that was put into the production, such as lighting and sound, under the direction of Mr. Jeff Hutchins, added great emphasis to many of the scenes. The "Evening of Theatrics" brought back the passion and the lasting drama of our time and offered the audience an evening of serious entertainment. I I

Investigating The Future

By : Denise Liedtka

Once again, this past fall, Notre Dame sponsored its annual College Career Night. This year's turnout, by both students and colleges, was better than past years. Director of Guidance Mrs. Cevera estimates that just over 600 students attended. Of these students 373 were from Notre Dame. The event was open to all Mercer County students and parents. Sign-in sheets showed that students from 199 area schools had attended. More than 160 colleges, nursing, business, and technical schools were represented . Mrs. Cevera said that she invites schools to attend that have either participated in previous Notre Dame College Nights, or that students

have expressed an interest in. Mrs. Cevera estimates that this is about the fifteenth year Notre Dame has hosted a college night. "The event is an excellent way for students to get first -hand information and literature about schools they are interested in," said Mrs. Cevera. She also said that it is most helpful for a student to get some information about the school before they go for a visit or an interview. "College Night opened many options to me. I became interested in colleges that I had previously not investigated. Smith was a college I really didn't know anything about, but College Night was the initial influence I had to apply there,'' said senior Allison Gifford.

The New Star Of N.D. Vice By: Audra Whitaker Mary Ann Liptak, former chairperson of the English Department, was promoted to Vice Principal this year. Miss Liptak has been at Notre Dame for 22 years. It seems that teaching was Miss Liptak 's destiny. "If someone asked me when I was five what I wanted to be when I grew up, I would have told them that I wanted to be a teacher. In fact I still tell my classes I want to be a teacher when I grow up," she said. Miss Liptak finished her education in less time than most. She attended Lawrence Junior High and completed grades 6, 7, and 8 all in one year. She then moved on to Notre Dame and graduated at age 16, "which was much too young," she said . At age 17, she entered St. Francis College for one semester, then transferred to Rider College, where she received a B.A. after extensive schooling in the cultural and literary aspects of many languages. While at Rider, Miss Liptak took a double major of English and French with a minor of Spanish. She

also put in her graduate work at Rider, where she received a masters in Educational Administration . In 1971, under Father Thul's supervision, she started teaching at Notre Dame. "Over the years I have taught many levels, from the lowest to the highest, but they are all the best to me," she remarked. She has taught World Literature to Seniors, and Honors English to both seniors and sophomores. Although she is now the head of curriculum and academics, Miss Liptak still teaches an Honors English class for Seniors. According to Miss Liptak, she does this to keep in touch with the students and classroom teaching. "I think of myself as a teacher before I think of myself as the vice principal," she said. Her responsibilities as vice principal include informal observation of teachers during the first and fourth quarters and formal observations during the second and third quarters. Through these observations, Miss Liptak feels that she is reinforcing the abilities of the

teachers. "I miss teaching in the classroom, but while I have this job, I hope that I can affect a larger number of students," she said . Miss Liptak tries to convey her philosophy of education to both students and teachers. She has one rule that she teaches by, "I teach students the course, not the course to students," she explained . "My basic belief is that by being a teacher I am working with one of God's most precious creations, the human mind. Arid that every child's mind is entrusted to me; it is my responsibility.'' Miss Liptak's goal in life is to teach on a college level, but she would also like to be an advisor to students who are thinking about becoming teachers. She feels that she is honest and realistic enough to help students. "A teacher's best critic is his students and if I'm unprepared, my students can tell. It takes a lot to be a teacher; I can prepare them (the teachers)," she concluded.

How do teachers spend their summer vacations? Some have a second job, others spend it with their family, but Mrs. Gauvin-Tharney traveled to Africa. Mrs. Gauvin-Tharney has taught junior and senior math courses at Notre Dame for the past seven years. She says that she enjoys teaching at Notre Dame because it has, "a warm community spirit." Mrs. Gauvin-Tharney also found this warmth and friendly atmosphere outside Notre Dame. Only she found it very far away, in Africa. This summer Mrs. Gauvin-Tharney went on a trip to Africa with her husband, who was there on business for International American Schools to develop a curriculum for Africa patterned after the American education system . On a trip that lasted two weeks, she visited the countries of Kenya and Somalia. In Kenya, she visited the city of Nairobi. Nairobi is a big city, but on the outskirts there is the Nairobi National Park. The park contains 42 square miles of pure, untouched land reserved for the wildlife of Africa, including giraffes, lions, and rhinoceros . Mrs. Gauvin-Thorney took a day tour through the park in a jeep driven by one of the park rangers. Mrs. Gauvin-Tharney said that it was a beautiful sight to see the animals in their own habitat. The other country she visited was Somalia. In Somalia she stayed in the capital city of Mogadishu, often called the New York of Africa . Although Mogadishu is very developed, Mrs. Gauvin-Tharney said that the country was technologically outdated. One experience that she had in Somalia was upsetting. "The people would come up to you on the streets and they were very friendly. They would introduce themselves and ask why you were in Somalia. But what it all led up to was a plea for money. It was the hardest thing to get used to because they were so friendly," said Mrs. Gauvin-Tharney. According to Mrs. Gauvin-Tharney, her best experience in Africa was meeting the people. Another favorite was seeing the wildlife. Mrs. GauvinThomey said that she would "go back to Africa in a minute." But, the next time she would like to go on a safari instead of going to the city.

Teaching Technically

Mr. Norman Cook

In this present age of technology, science and math have become important disciplines in the high school curriculum. To meet this need, Notre Dame added Science teacher Norman Cook and Math teacher Donna Lynch to its teaching staff this year. Mr. Cook is a 1972 graduate of Notre Dame High School. He received his M.S. in History from American University. As a student at Notre Dame, Mr. Cook was a member of the varsity baseball and basketball teams. During this time, he made second team allstate for both sports. He also held a record for the most points scored in a varsity game. Mr. Cook teaches both physical science and United States History I to juniors. "I really enjoy teaching US History to the juniors. History was my favorite subject .'' said Mr. Cook . After school, Mr. Cook has a few other things to do besides correcting science and history papers. During the fall, Mr. Cook coaches the freshman field hockey team . "I felt the girls did a good job with a lot of effort and, most of all, improvement. One day they will

be a top notch team ." said Mr. Cook. Math teacher Donna Lynch also enjoys working with childern in her spare time. She privately tutors students from third through twelfth grades in Reading, Math, and English . "I like working with people . I think it's neat to help people," said Miss Lynch. Miss Lynch has taught for 17 years in New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Connecticut. She chose to teach math because, "you have to follow the rules to get the answers." Miss Lynch also served as a police officer in Falls Township for one year. According to Miss Lynch, she went back to teaching because her major reason for going into police work was to work with juveniles, but there was a long list of police officers waiting to enter the juvenile division and hers was at the end . It might have been years before she became part of that division, and she missed working with kids too much to wait . Miss Lynch teaches Algebra I and Special Geometry. She is a graduate of Cabrini College and Villanova University.

A Different Place But A Familiar Face By Anne Marie Nestor If you have ever had the experience of being the new kid on the block, then you can just imagine the challenges facing a new teacher. Becoming accustomed to new schedules and getting to know the school and students takes t ime and energy . Art teacher Joyce Miller and Religion teacher Catherine Sewnig faced these challenges when they joined Notre Dame's staff this year. But, teaching at Notre Dame isn't the only thing these two teachers have in common . Miss Miller and Mrs. Sewnig have been friends for many years. They both went to Chesnut Hill College in Philadelphia and they both taught at Saint Rose High School prior to becoming N.D. Staff members. At Chestnut Hill, Mrs. Sewnig majored in Political Science and graduated with a B.A. degree in Social Studies. She taught for three years at St . Rose High School before she heard of the opening at Notre Dame from her husband, Mr. Timothy Sewnig, also a religon

teacher at N.D.. "I wasn't that nervous about starting at a new school,:" said Mrs. Sewnig, "but it took time to learn what the students are about and how I could relate to them." Mrs. Sewnig teaches Old Testament to Freshmen and Sacraments and Relating to Sophomores. "Teaching religion here at Notre Dame has really helped me to strengthen my faith, and I've learned so much from the students," said Mrs. Sewnig. Mrs. Sewnig also participates in masses at Notre Dame by playing the guitar, a talent which she has been developing since the seventh grade. In her spare time, Mrs. Sewnig enjoys reading historical novels and listening to classical music. Like her friend, Art teacher Joyce Miller also leads an active life. In addition to a full week of teaching, Miss Miller is active in her parish, where she teaches fourth grade C.C.D . .classes. She works in a book store for a few

hours a week and reads fiction and literary novels in her spare time. At Chestnut Hill, Miss Miller majored in Art Studio and minored in Art History. She was involved in Student Government and was Vice-President of Academic Affairs. She graduated from Chestnut Hill with a B.A. in Art. After college, Miss Miller joined a Stock Photography Agency where she was exposed to many different types of photography and photographical research . She then taught for one year at Saint Rose High School before coming to Notre Dame. Miss Miller teaches Art Ill, Art IV honors, and Graphics. When asked about the challenges of beginning in a new school, she said, "It was simply a matter of adjusting, especially with the older students who used to doing things in a certain way. In these situations, communication was important to come to an understanding."

Brotherly LOV~v Brother John J. O'Brien entered the ranks of the Notre Dame teaching staff in March of the 1986-87 school year. He had been substituting at a nearby grammar school when he heard of the opening to replace Sr. Peg O'Halloran. With the approval of his superior, he accepted the position as a sophomore religion teacher. He now teaches US History I and II courses. ''We need a sense of history, both as Christians, and in our daily lives," said Brother John. He best described his teaching methods as, "dynamic and hyper, but in a positive sense" . Brother John attended high school in Philadelphia . He attended Notre Dame Seminary at the University of New Orleans, studied theology at Catholic University of America, and received an MA in religious studies from Villanova University . He was a hospital chaplain in Washington D.C . and taught religion to junior high students in Georgia. He also spent eight years as a child care worker at Covenant House in New York, counseling runaway and abused children. Brother John has been a member of the religious community for eleven years. He said that his Irish Catholic background, along with a combination of experiences, role models, and prayers, have been responsible for his

Jim Hammerst.one

vocation. He attributes his experiences at Covenant House as his greatest inspiration and holds a great admiration for Fr. Bruce Ritter, founder of Covenant House, because of his dedication and resilience . He also admires St. Ignatius, St. Francis, and Mother Theresa. "They never asked for glorification. They just showed the power of faith to change things for the better," said Brother John. Upon his arrival at Notre Dame, Brother John was highly impressed with the involvement and support _of the entire Notre Dame community. Brother John quickly involved himself in the community and now coaches cross country, winter, and spring track. "I'm a restless person. I walk fast and even talk fast. There's no other sport to me,'' said Brother John. He is currently discerning the priesthood but hopes to teach at Notre Dame at least long enough to see the class that he started with graduate. "I think that in the time I've been here the kids have become identified with me and are at ease with me," said Brother John. "I want to be seen as a teacher and a supporter." Brother John enjoys reading, watching movies, and traveling in his free time. He also enjoys photography and the arts. Brother John O'Brien 241

Take Note By: Chris King Have you noticed the addition to the attendance office this year? It isn't a staff member, but a new computer. A new system has been developed in which a computer printout is produced that tallies student absences. "It has helped decrease a lot of absences from classes," said Mrs. Palmeri, attendance secretary. "More of the kids are aware of the new system and keep track of their absences themselves." Before the records reach the computer, each teacher is required to keep a track daily of students' class attendance. "This is somewhat of a hassle for the teachers, but in the long run it saves the office trouble at the end of the marking period," said Mrs. Palmeri. Last year, before the new computer system was installed, the attendance records were calculated manually. Now with the aid of the new computer program, everything is done with the touch of a button . "In my mind, nothing compares to it," said Mrs. Palmieri. "It is working out well."

By: Audra Whitaker The transition from the business world to the world of education requires a long jump, and last year, Miss Patricia Suboleski made that jump when she joined the Notre Dame English Department. In addition to teaching, Miss Suboleski is also the copy editor of the Canticle. Miss Suboleski grew up in Johnstown, Pennsylvania, a steeltown. Her high school years were spent at Greater Johnstown Vocational-Technical School, where she majored in chemical technology . Miss Suboleski received her BA from the University of Pittsburgh in Johnstown, where she majored in Journalism, with a minor in geology. "I always had an interest in both writing and science. It was very hard to pick one, but I finally settled on writing because it was my first love," said Miss Suboleski. Before becoming a teacher, Miss Suboleski held various jobs, most of them in the data processing field. After college, she moved away from Johnstown because it was an economically depressed area with a small job market. Her first job was as a proofreader for Bio-Media Publishers. From there, she moved on to the data-processing field, working for Remington Rand, lnfo-Med, and Martin Marietta. She held various jobs at these companies, starting as a data entry operator and moving up to service representative, technical representative, and finally, technical writer. "No matter where I worked, I made my employers aware of my writing abilities until I was writing manuals full time,'' said Miss Suboleski. During the same time, she also freelanced for the Princeton Packet newspaper. Miss Suboleski's interest in teaching began when she joined Big Brothers/Big Sisters of Mercer County in 1985. She began working with her little sister Kim and became a tutor for the organization. In 1987, Miss Suboleski started her first teaching job at St. Mary's Cathedral in Trenton where she taught 7th and 8th graders reading. writing, and religion. At the same time she received her New Jersey teacher certification through Alternate Route, a program run by the state . to train people in other fields to t~ach.

路 By Audra Whitaker Miss Diane Wargo, teacher, actress, and singer, brought her talents to Notre Dame this year when she joined the staff of the English Department. Her newest role, publicity manager for the Canticle, makes her presence even more vital. Miss Wargo grew up in Wilmington, Delaware. When she was thirteen she moved to Ewing Township, New Jersey. She graduated from Ewing High School. Miss Wargo then went on to receive her associates degree in theater arts from Mercer County College. Next, she attended Trenton State College andreceived her BA in Speech and Theater. Miss Wargo is presently working on her masters degree in Theater at Villanova. After college, Miss Wargo taught English at McCorristin High School. "I didn't enjoy working at McCorristin as much as I do here; the students here have a lot of respect for their teachers. They're a lot of fun," she said. For five years Miss Wargo taught Tomato Patch, a summer arts program, at Mercer County College. The job involved teaching acting and stage make-up to children from 6th through 12th grade. Miss Wargo's after-school activities include singing, acting, dancing, and aerobics. "I've been in 50 shows in the past five years," said Miss Wargo. Her most recent shows include "Godspell" at Peddler's Village Dinner Theater and "Oklahoma" in a tour of the Poconos. "My claim to fame is studying with Stella Adler; to this day, I'm ecstatic about it," said Miss Wargo. During school Miss Wargo's schedule is just as crowded. Her present courses are Public Speaking, American Literature, and English II. She is also in charge of publicity for student government as well as the Canticle. "After school 'I'm running an aerobics program with the girls' basketball team, and in the spring with the boys' baseball team," said Miss Wargo.

Thanks Be To This year's book was the most challenging for the staff, in that we virtually put the entire book together by ourselves. With the aid of our advisors. Ms. Leonie and Ms. Suboleski. our small staff of six produced a yearbook that we consider a prize-winner. Motivated by high expectations of producing a prize-winning book and strong in confidence from several years of experience. we worked hard for seven months to produce a book pleasing to all students. Hopefully, that is what we have achieved. We could not have put out such a book without the help of a number of valuable persons on whom we depended. Our advisors, Ms. Pat Leoniec and Miss Patricia Suboleski. are greatly appreciated for the infinite hours they devoted to this publication. Despite the hectic demands on her time as a teacher and department chairperson. Ms. Leoniec, a 9-year veteran moderator, found the time for us. When Mr. Ralph Lelli decided to leave Notre Dame last year. Ms. Leoniec had to find another teacher willing to devote almost every second of her spare time to help publish another yearbook . Ms. Suboleski. a new teacher, was chosen to occupy this position. Her knowledge of journalistic writing made her the logical choice. and she was in charge of all the writing that went into the yearbook . Ms. Leoniec was responsible for overseeing the design and layout of the book . Another woman to whom the staff gives their unending thanks is Ms. Diane Wargo . Another first year teacher at Notre Dame, Miss Wargo sacrificed much time to organize our fall slide show and to head our publicity and collections. With an acting career on the rise, Ms. Wargo still found time and energy to assist us. We would also like to express our appreciation for the work done by the staff at Sarony Studios, especially the Balihan's, the photographers. and Bernadette Valentine for her patience in making photo session arrangements. We thank Frank Ball, our Josten's representative. for his patience and assistance on deadline days. For producing the cover and opening section designs. we are grateful to Mimi Radice. A picture is worth a thousand words and therefore enormous thanks go to our photographers. Steve Flores. Susie Gunderson. Lisa Hartmann. Megan Kochel!, Michele Maisto, Megan Murphy, Bob Popowski. James Sanella, and Chris Young . We would also like to thank Matt McGrath, Dermott O'Reilly, and Trish Werger for providing us with Cotillion pictures. and the Hibernian for their picture of Barefoot in The Park . Without money, we couldn't have a yearbook . Therefore. we are grateful to Jennifer Brennan, Faith Haymond, Amy Gendek, and Leonora Obed for devoting their time to lunchtime yearbook collections. For some sections of the yearbook, we occasionally needed expert advise. Jerry Wargo was very gracious in providing us with his help on the football section. and we'd like to thank Lisanne Wong and Nikki Melodge for their assistance with the Junior section. The N.D. coaches were also helpful in providing us with season scoreboards. A busy staff sometimes requires extra help and supplies. We are grateful to Pete Carfagno for running errands and typing at these crucial moments. We also appreciate the times when the main office provided us with stationery supplies. Hopefully, we have not forgotten anyone. If so, it was unintentional. We know the success of our book depends on outside help, and once again, we'd like to say, thank you all!

Completing

We came from a variety of backgrounds and different school districts, and we all started the year with different hopes and aspirations. But that didn't stop us from uniting to become the best student body we could be. It soon began to dawn on us that we could become what we desired only by helping each other to develop our talents and by combining them for the good of the school. It is as if we, the community of Notre Dame, symbolize a life-like puzzle. We each represent one piece, but we fit together to make The Total Picture. 252
