PETREAN ST. PE TE R ’S PREP JERSEY CITY, N.J.

1981: YEAR OF THE FAMILY This year’s international awareness of the family comes to life and takes shape in our experience at St. Peter’s Prep.

Rev. John Browning, S.J. takes on the responsibilities of Prin­ cipal and welcomes us all home to the year of the family — the hallmark of 1981. Drawing from the wealth of his twenty years at the Prep, Father Browning propells us forward with a spirit which draws us closer than we have ever been before, alive to the possibilities and responsi­ bilities of a community. From the very beginning of our days together we have grown more and more into the Peter’s fam­ ily.

WELCOME HOME Freshmen ori­ entation scenes clockwise from up­ per left: Father Browning wel­ comes the freshmen home with warmth and enthusiasm; Class of 1984 take their place among the years of heritage and tradition; Fa­ ther Kavanagh introduces fresh­ men to the thrills of First Year Lat­ in; Stephen Rutkowski and Craig Richards investigate the intricacies of the lockers; Class ID gets down to the business at hand.

TOGETHER AG AIN FOR TH E FIRST TIM E The Class of 1984 takes their place in the gym bleachers as the frightened new comers to the Prep family. One hundred four years of heritage and tradi­ tion place a great burden on the shoulders of our youngest brothers. But Junior and Senior Big Brothers and faculty pulled together from the beginning of orientation to ease the burden and make them a part of our spirit. Activity booths, rallies, field day and an on-going shar­ ing of pride in our school helped the freshmen become more at home. As the new sur­ roundings, new faces, and new learning tasks became more and more familiar, the spirit of fam­ ily unity grew and days togeth­ er seemed like coming home.

In jammed dances, filled stands, and raucous cheering the unique spirit of 1981 grew stronger and stronger. As we look back we find it hard to be­ lieve it is not the beginning, but that the year fast comes to a close. We share with you our thoughts and our visions of our family spirit as we saw it grow during these fleeting moments of 1981.

LIFE IS GRAND A T WARREN

Student life at St. Peter’s is centered on a celebration of people. Lighter moments, free time, and the ordinary routine develop the sense of belonging and family pride. Concern and caring by teachers and students alike help mold men for others.

2ND CEN TU RY OF PRIDE AND GLORY The Prep family is many peo足 ple coming together affirming and supporting the efforts of each other. On the playing fields our individual energies were knit into the fine fabric of the team effort, and in the stands, the excitement of the crowd displays the pride of each individual.

Straining faces and bodies in足 dicate the unity of purpose and determination in fans and play足 ers alike. Victory never comes easy and is often elusive, but no Prep teams play without deter足 mination, putting forth their best effort. We stood by with pride in the sportsmanship of the teams that lost and we tore Roosevelt Stadium apart with joy when at last our football team won.

Clockwise from the left: John Boyle receives recognition for gym­ nastics from Father Coughlin and Fathers’ Club President Tom McDonough; Father Browning congratulates school scholars Mike Wraback, Charles Schmidt, Teddy Borowski, Howard Covert, Thomas Monaco, Robert Schwartz, and John Chaneski, National Merit Scholarship Commended Students all; Father Browning and Mr. Illy prepare for Awards Assembly; Prep’s pride in academics, Howard Covert, National Merit Scholar­ ship Semifinalist; Sal Cerchio and Minseok Keum inspect awards for top Chemistry team in Hudson County; Coach Jim Stevens gives kudos to Fernando Valdez for track team leadership; John Gibney awarded Spirit of Prep accolade.

TO THE VICTORS BELONG THE SPOILS Every family album contains moments of glory and recogni足 tion. We are proud of the ac足 complishments of our brothers and we are pleased to have them receive their due. While some are singled out in various areas, others work hard behind the scenes and share their vic足 tories.

In academics, the heart of the Prep experience, excellence is the standard by which all are measured. Some few bring reccognition from beyond the walls of the school with out足 standing performances and challenge the rest of us to live up to our potential.

In the main foyer of Mulry Hall is an office that is never vacant. Through a tiny window you can catch sight of the man that occupies this room. If you enter through the ever-open door, you may catch him at work with his scrapbook, but you will most surely be greeted by name. However, knowing the name of every student is but a small sign of how intimately a part of the Prep family is Brother Joseph C. Wuss, S.J. Brother Wuss assumed the position of Assistant Prefect of Discipline 8 years ago and immediately came to know the students personally, becoming more a Prefect of Hospitality.

He shows enormous interest and concern for all the students and their activities. Proud of his own heritage, he instills family pride in others as the founder and moderator of the Slavic Club. His care is evident in his attendance at most sporting events and major school activities. Standing quietly on the side or seated in the bleachers, he seeks not to draw attention to himself but celebrate with pride and joy the success of others.

Despite his busy schedule he reaches beyond the walls of our small family to the larger family of the city, visiting the sick in the hospitals, comforting those who mourn loved ones, and ministering liturgically in the neighboring Polish parishes. Brother Wuss also coordi­ nates the spiritual and fund-raising activities of the Ignatian Guild, the Jesuit Mothers’ Guild of New Jersey. In April he was ordained a Permanent Deacon for the Archdiocese of Newark.

It is with great pride, a family pride, that we dedicate the 1981 P E T R E A N to a man we all love as “Brother,” a man who truly is our man for others.

CHALLENGE AND ADVENTURE The unquestioned heart of the Prep is found in the ex­ change of ideas in the class­ room. The various aspects of family life all build an atmo­ sphere where the learning pro­ cess can flourish. Dedication and hard work characterize the efforts of teachers and students alike as we grow into educated men.

New faces filled with energy and excitement greeted us from behind the teachers’ desks this year, and throughout the school a positive and creative attitude helped even the more difficult subjects seem like adventures and challenges.

Clockwise from upper left: Mr. DeLorenzo explains the past in Fresh­ man History class; Algebra seems almost easy under Mr. Rooney’s patient teaching; the microscope reveals the secrets of life to soph biology students: Ms. Russell opens new horizons for Frosh Science Class. The foundations of our Eng­ lish language are Mr. Kennedy’s forte; Bro. Garvey gives the fresh­ men yet another book; frosh look on as Ms. Tavares brews new life forms; a lighter moment in French III catches John Petrick, Lou Stellato, and Bob Mulcahy smiling in a foreign language.

15

E PLURIBUS UNUM From many different backgrounds, numerous cities, and countless unique experiences, our family has gathered and grown at the corner of Grand and Warren. Older and younger mem足 bers have worked and played side by side, dreamt about the future that is ours and made our own the year 1981. The Lord has shone on us and made us one, rejoicing in all He has given us to share.

ACTIVITIES

STUDENT COUNCIL

The Student Council is a multi-faceted organi足 zation which serves the needs of the students, fac足 ulty and community. Elected by their peers, the members work as a corporate body to decide poli足 cy and procedure, and on committees of their choice for the various types of service. The council provides publicity, materials, gives impetus to school spirit, and takes care of social and spiritual needs. The Student Council plans and runs the freshman orientation program as well, all under the watchful eye of Rev. Mr. Fred Pellegrini, S.J. 58

PUBLICITY

Publicity helps the school survive, and the Student Council Publicity Committee does the lion’s share of the job. Under the direction of the Office of Public Informa­ tion, the committee also plays a major role in recruit­ ing students for the Prep.

Throughout the fall, mem­ bers of the Publicity Com­ mittee visit several Hudson and out of county grammar schools introducing the Prep to 7th and 8th grade boys.

This past year they visited over 50 grammar schools and attended a dozen high school nights, far surpassing pre­ vious efforts.

SOCIALSPIRITUAL COMMITTEE Diversity is the key to the role of the SocialSpiritual Committee. The members of the commit­ tee are responsible for the social life of the school, in­ cluding the m onthly dances in the cafeteria and the senior prom. On a more serious level, the committee has planned and set up for the school liturgies, the senior ring cermony and the Christ­ mas Food Drive.

Untereiner pays a call during dance set up; Chairmen of Social-Spiritual committee, John Gibney and Joe Crowley.

SCHOOL SPIRIT The main function of the School spirit Commit足 tee is to inspire Prep pride and spirit in the stu足 dents and faculty. The committee focuses on sporting events, activities, and rallies as it tries to encourage every Prep student to be involved in some way in the co-curricular programs. This year, thanks to an outstanding effort by the mem足 bers of the committee, there has been a fantastic spirit throughout the school community.

INTRAM URALS The heart and soul of the lunch time activity is the stu足 dent-run intramural program.

A varied program which in足 cludes football, basketball and volleyball, provides an oppor足 tunity for athletic competition for those not on interscholastic teams. The games help build a spirit of friendly competition, offer a break during the middle of the day, and promote class spirit among the various home足 rooms. Fall season highlights of football contests are included here.

The band is a multi-faceted organiza­ tion. From the first day of freshmen orien­ tation to the recessional at graduation, the band is playing. What many people do not see are the long hours of practice; the first noises when a piece is first played to the final form when the piece is publicly per­ formed. The football games and the rallies show the band playing cheers and popular music, the holidays bring Christmas music back and the spring sees the annual Spring Concert where the band can shine in its own right.

A recent arrival, but rapidly be­ coming a firmly imbedded tradi­ tion, the Prep Walkathon is unique among school activities. Unlike the sports teams and academic clubs, it is neither selective nor exclusive; every one in the student body and Faculty is expected to participate.

Its benefits are many: financial, physical, “spirit”-ual and educa­ tional. The funds raised help to meet the ongoing and increasing cost of running a school like Prep; the walk tests and contributes to the physical fitness of the young men- and old; involving as it does the entire student body. It is a pow­ erful instrument for engendering school spirit and a sense of belong­ ing; and finally, in the past five years, the 20 kilometer walk has introduced Prep students to parts of Bayonne, Union City, Secaucus, Weehawken, and Jersey City they may never have otherwise seen.

DRAMATICS Twice a year two dramatic productions are presented by the Dramatic Society and the Stage Crew under the direction of Mr. Jack Casey. The Dramatic Society is made possible through a collaboration between Prep students and the var­ ious girls’ schools in the area. This activity provides an aper­ ture for the students to express their individual talents in an entertaining, as well as rewarding, atmosphere. In recent years the popularity and the charm of these productions have drawn not only a huge audience, but an exceptional array of young talent .. Parents, friends, and the student body find encouraging support to the ongoing success of of these plays.

THE COACHING STAFF

WE WIN!!! 21-6 The sweet smell of a victory was lingering in Roosevelt Sta­ dium on October 5,1980. Prep’s fans were roaring at every Prep play and the returning cheer­ leaders displayed exuberance at each first down. First year coach Gerry Bellotti was abso­ lutely estatic over the Maraud­ ers’ performance. With sheer determination and will, the Marauders snapped a twentygame losing streak as quarter­ back Jim Dantzler hurled three touchdown passes to defeat arch-rival Hudson Catholic 216. Dantzler opened the scoring in the first half with a 16 yard pass to Ted Holloway. Bob Faccone ran for the conversion.

This was the first game of this season in which St. Peter’s managed to score. In the second quarter, Dantzler found his fa­ vorite receiver, Mark Gaddis, who had five receptions on the day. Gaddis’s receptions came in St. Peter’s last touchdown drive. Before this game, the Marauders had suffered succes­ sive winless seasons. Following this game, the football team, Coach Bellotti, and all the dedicated fans will savor this day as a tribute for hope, pa­ tience, and hard work.

THE CHEERLEADERS The new spirit in the school is evident in our sports program mainly because of the reappear­ ance of its cheerleaders. The squad is coached by Denise Blunda a former Prep cheer­ leader in 1978. Captain Jose­ phine Infante and Co-Captain Lisa Ward are the leaders of this appealing group of girls who added much lively enthusiam to our sporting events. We greatly appreciate their contri­ butions.

CROSS COUNTRY: OFF AND RUNNING!!!

Due to an energetic and young squad of runners, this year’s cross country team has sustained their hope and enthusiasm.

Including talented sophomores, Sean Seymour and Kenny Sul­ livan, and gifted juniors, Paul Hartnett and John Hosty, the runners took fifth place in the city meet while the freshman team took fourth place overall. Watched by coach Jim Stevens and paced by senior captain, Fernando Valdez, and junior co­ captain, Brian Sullivan, the team has tried harder than ever to boost their record.

OUR SOCCER D Y N A ST Y RETU RN S With many experienced seniors eager to play, the St. Peter’s Prep Soccer team had high expectations of winning the county title again.

Practicing every day at Lincoln Park, coach Connie Gallagher molded a group of indivuals into a team that played together for a common goal. The scenario was set in Bayonne Park on September 19, 1980 for an important first win.

Marist High School and booters clashed for two long hours. Unfor­ tunately the game was tied 1-1. Un­ daunted, they won the following game against St. Aloysius High School 3-0 and the next game against Emerson was an extremely hard fought game. Gus Saldana, All State mid-fielder for two years, scored two goals for the Marauders on direct kicks from twenty-five yards out in the second and third quarters to win 2-1. Coach Gal­ lagher cited Pete Crivelli, Ray Skaslski, Pat Bonner, Bernie Biviano, and Joe Berardinelli for out­ standing defensive play. The spirit of Prep carried them through the next seven games losing only to Weehawken and Memorial both 31. Although the spirit was still high in the following four games Prep’s booters lost two important games: Weehawken 5-1, and perennial nemesis Bayonne 3-1. However de­ spite these two loses, the team achieved a tournament spot in the Parochial A Division.

J. V. SOCCER WINS COUNTY CROWN AG AIN ST HUDSON CATHOLIC 3-2!

In the quadrangle at Bay­ onne High School the mood of the season was set in the first game against Bayonne on Sept.

19, 1980 with a 3-2 win. This spirit encouraged the booters to win the next four consecutive games until they met that nem­ esis Bayonne again. Although losing valiantly 4-2, they con­ tinued to dominate the soccer fields of Jersey City and be­ yond. An important soccer tournament loomed ahead how­ ever, and archrival Bayonne threatened all their chances to win it. With a strong game they won 2-1 and advanced to the championship game against Hudson Catholic. The Prep dis­ played the makings of a new soccer dynasty and won 3-2.

Praise is given to Most Valu­ able Player John Calcaterra.

Seniors Charles Schmidt and Tom Ambrosio, with the two captains, were all out­ standing in their re­ spective events.

PREP CAGERS HAVE A SLAMMING SEASON

This year’s season was abundant with Prep Pride. From the continuously packed stands and clamor from both cheerleaders and fans alike, to the five men on the court who gave it their all.

Coach Jerry Halligan began his twenty-sixth sea­ son with a fine group of athletes who responded well and came up with a winning team. Senior leaders include Mark Doolan, Milt James, Ken Walters, John Wozniak, Bruce Nodine, Tony Minick, and Charlie Webb. Sophomore Ed Lawson also performed consistantly for the Petreans. This year’s strength will only be surpassed by the promise of a sound team for the future.

WRESTLING For two grueling hours everyday a dozen wrestler and a new young coach were straining in the Prep gymnasium. Why all this torture?

The dream of winning the Hudson County title has sparked this young team and coach Rich Ranalli. However, with the loss of cap­ tain and All-County team member Jim Buonavolonta, the team had a strenuous season. Undaunted, ju­ nior Nick DeMarco won the gold medal in the Our Lady of Valley Invitational Tournament. The team finished fifth and this spirit of winning helped them to conquer Weehawkn High School 29-24. The future looks bright as freshman Chris Monico and sophomore Joe Crivelli show promise.

Winners since its inception, the St. Peter’s Prep Hockey Team is the defending county and B Divi­ sion champions. Thomas Maus ex­ pects another championship from his veteran team. Led by the prolif­ ic scoring of Gabe Doria, the stal­ wart defense of Tim Quille, the goal tending of Joe Donargo, and the steady leadership of captain Paul Koslowski, the team owns im­ portant victories over Clifton and Newark Academy.

INDOOR TRACK Under the leadership of coach Jim Stevens, the indoor track team has been quite un­ usual. Believing that track is an enjoyable sport, Mr. Stevens motivated the freshman’s team 880 relay and the varsity’s two mile relay.

BASEBALL Baseball 1980 proved to be disappointing in the county standings, but 7 consecutive wins to close out the season offers promise for 1981.

Coaches Joe Urbanovich and Connie Gallagher anticipate much from returning start­ ers, including seniors Tom Coletta, Chris Hudik, John McNulty, Capt. Joe Crowley, Joey B, and John Russell, as well as juniors Brian Sulli­ van, Ed Ambrosio and Pete Crivelli. Power at the plate looks for more speed on the bast paths for a balanced at­ tack and consistent defense.

Table of Contents

We’ve toiled on this book for many months trying to portray the best of 1981.

We never imagined how really good that was, and because of it, our task was more rewarding and|enjoyable. §§||Pf are aware fchatjwe owe our tMnks to many people: Andy Murro for his patience in teaching us how to put the book together; Lou Malias and the staff of Photography by Lou for the senior portraits, the photographic supplies, and teaching us how to get the best out of our darkroom: Miss Collins for her hospitality m the library when we needed a photo studio; Father Stroud for his letting us use his film room and for turning a deaf ear to our noisy ranting; Bro. ►Wuss for being patient when we borrowed his mug shots and forgot to return them; Father Mullin for his late night company and sense of humor; Mr. “P” for helping name some unknown freshmen and sophomores; the switchboard operators for helping us keep in touch with home; our maintenance staff for keeping our office functional andfwell supplied; Hudson Camera for being so close when we needecrsupplies; and last, but not least, Chan Byun for putting the cqver of the bookfeft our dooff# ~> In a lighter vein we’d like to thank Stella’s Pizza for the only thing that kept us going on those long nights; Bruce for keeping us mellow; “Genny” for getting us home after those%ong nights: and Mr. Scirghi for taking over as Moderator .next year so Ned can |g%tq Studies.

A special word of thanks is offered to the members of the faculty for their cooperation and theii| understanding when assignments were late; andlmost especially to our families who so often forgot what we looked like but still welcomed us with the warmth and love we needed.

Most of all we thank Ned, without whose help'we would never have been able to complete this year’s book. He was our moderator, but more than that he was a fatherand friend to us. On the many late working nights we could always count on him being there with us. He yelled at us, he made us laugh, he fed us . . . he gave us himself.

The Petrean staff ofl’81 wishes Father Coughlin the fclst as he leaves the Prep for a year of studies. Our love for him will last forever, but we would like to express it now. As it’s been said before, “Yes, we take advantage of him. Yes, we always disappoint him. But yes, we love him.” Thank you, Ned, for being you.

THEY’R E HOME

Few things have helped to point to the unity and spirit of our country than the plight of the 52 Americans held hostage in Iran. As we celebrated our own year of the family at St. Peter’s, we were ever aware of the greater family ties to all across America. In bringing this book to a close we are proud to join our brothers and sisters of this land in welcoming home our heroes.
