“On the Waterfront”

In the course of a lifetime, we look for truth, for something in which we can rest our hope. This search has brought us to the waterfront, that unique place where land and sea meet. On the waterfront, two worlds are brought together, forming a mysterious strip of shore wher ein lie bits of revelation, specks of that truth which we so greatly

desire. So, we sit on the banks with our feet submerged by the tide and our minds immersed in a pool of wonder. We look around at this earth and this life from our perch on nature’s bor der, and if we are lucky, we leave with a new sense of appre ciation for God, man, and the beauty of nature itself. It is in this unique world on

the waterfront that St. P eter’s Prep proudly stands. Perhaps it is fitting that it rests upon the shore, for the school has taken on the qualities of the water front. That which makes the wa terfront different and special has also come to distinguish our school from others.

Since the beginnings of civiliza tion, the waterfront has been a natural center of activity. Trans portation and trade have long de pended on the earth’s harbors and inlets to serve as ports of relief from long ocean treks; thus, man has gathered on the shore for cen turies to do business and share ad ventures. Towns and cities soon sprang up around these ports to serve as a warehouse for goods, a reststop for travelers, and a home for those who long before had be gun to cast their nets in the sea for a living. On the waterfront, civiliza tion has grown (and sometimes prospered), dreams have been borne, and man has busily trudged forward. Our waterfront, the Hud son River, is perhaps the best ex ample of this coastal activity. With the world’s greatest city situated on the opposite bank, this water front has come to be a center not only of this area but of the globe. Politicians and diplomats congre gate at the U.N.; corporate giants leap head first into huge deals on our very shores; budding talents of all art forms gather to take advan tage of the opportunities that this land of theater companies, Iopera houses and studio lofts presents; and we, the students of St. P e te r’s Prep pull up a desk on the shores of the world’s capital to view this moment firsthand, to learn from the culture and technology that this hub of activity offers and to get a front-row seat in this comedy of errors that we call life.

The Prep has greatly benefited from its location on these busy banks and has thus become a center of activity itself. This area, because of its demand to stay ahead of the rest of the world has attracted the best in technology, culture and thought. These shores have become a gathering place for those with new ideas and new machines and our location here allows us to reap the benefits of m an’s ingenu ity. By sitting on life’s cutting edge we have ad vanced with the rest of the world, moving into the age of computers and fax machines. Being so close to the centers of many fields has made us more aware of the problems surrounding us and the solu tions that lie ahead. In such proximity to the world’s finest culture, we have come to appreciate the arts, approaching sight and sound with an open mind. This hub of activity is a center of job opportunities as well, opportunities that wait just beyond the

classroom doors. The benefits of this very location can never be fully matched or listed; if America is the land of opportunity, than this is the country’s pinnacle, for the chances to succeed here are as numerous as the glass windows that shimmer in the sunlight. Having reached this point in society’s cen ter, Prep has used its experience to excel and has itself become a center of action. Its teams, athletic and academic, have made winning a tradition at Prep, and fans flock to witness victories week after week. The host of talent at Prep has allowed for the production of Broadway plays and band concerts perform ed by our own students. Because the school has so much to offer as a center of many pursuits, our graduates continue to flood the world with tal ent while our office continues to be flooded with new applicants.

CHAMPIONS

The waterfront is more than a combina tion of land and sea. It is a clash of old and new, a contrast of appearances and opin ions. Evident on the waterfront are strik ing differences between the many objects on the shores. Amidst a forest of towering modern building sprouts a seeming under growth of old brownstone residences, huddled close to the ground in fear of the giants that surround them. Shopping malls and department stores stand prominently on the shores, offering everything that can find room for a price tag; yet, tiny delis and family shops punctuate the area, pro viding the caring atmosphere that cannot be found on the furniture floor of Macy’s. It is amid this variety that Prep stands, and it is this variety that St. P e te r’s values and retains. Prep takes pride in its diversity and dis plays this diversity in many ways. Its cur riculum continues to cling to the tradition al, retaining even Latin, because tradition has brought success. Yet, the school has introduced its students to today’s newer studies, showing that modern technology is valued as well if the school is to keep up with the world. Even its appearance is a contrast of old and new. The courtyard, recently enlarged and remodeled, dis plays P re p ’s modern side. Yet, adjacent to this area is the English Building, whose very stairs seem to creak with memories of years past. The gym ceiling looms high above the basketball court, like an ancient guardian. A t times it seems to speak of p ast victories and defeats, past students who spent long hours trying to survive for four years. The very age of these struc tures makes them seem out of place com p ared to the courtyard at their feet and

Yet, all won past glory; in the class, a student studies for his stand together, not in opposition but in harmony computer test while the rest of the students sing of and success. In the halls, old and young students the second declension.

The waterfront is more than a place of busi ness, more than a display of contrasts. It is a place to sit and ponder life, and it is a place to find God. Even St. Peter, the Rock upon which our faith and our school were founded, found his calling on the waterfront. It was on the shore where he sat in his boat, cleaning his nets after an unlucky day at sea. A stranger, seemingly ignorant of the ways of fishermen, ap proached Peter, offering not sympathy but fishing advice. Frustrated by his past misfor tune, Peter again set to sea and cast his nets. To his surprise, the fisherman returned to shore with a huge catch filling his previously empty nets. Here on the waterfront, Peter found more than fish; he found Jesus. It was at this time that Peter realized his calling to follow Jesus as a fisher of men, to found a church based on this new faith, and to eventually die for his beliefs. So our school is set on the waterfront, the place of revelation and inspira tion for our patron saint. In his footsteps we try to follow, prepared to change our lives if sparked by such a great revelation. So, too, do we try to continue casting our nets, despite past failures, in the hopes of a great catch, whether it be a catch of hundreds of fish or a catch of a few men that we can call friends. The waterfront truly is a source of wisdom. Its mirror of sunlit water reflects not only our image but also the image of everything behind us: distant trees, tall buildings, and memories of our past joys and sorrows. Even the struc tures on the waterfront reflect the characteris tics of our school, displaying our traits on a grand scale so that we may recognize our attri butes and appreciate them. Yes, sitting on the waterfront, we see the world from a different perspective, a view that sets us apart while bringing us closer to God. Through time, St. P e te r’s Prep has drawn from the waterfront’s culture and mystique, becoming an integral p art of the shores on which the school stands. So, we journey to the waterfront to celebrate our uniqueness, to ponder the world’s my stery, and to search for the truth, the revela tion, that can free us.

Life passes by so quickly that we often miss its beauty and overlook the special people who surround us. Along the way, we are helped through the long days and the longer nights by hundreds o f people who make the journey a little shorter. Yet, once in a while, we are blessed by a man who makes us appreciate life, makes us want to continue the journey for a few more miles. In the confusion and fear, he helps us to find our way. He shows us how to live, by world and example, and he encourages us to follow our dreams, even if that means shovelling sand into the sea. Honor and recognition have followed him in all that he has done. A fter graduating from Xavier High School and St. P eter’s College as part o f the ROTC, he worked at a Guardian Angel Home in Bedford Styvesent. H e served in Vietnam in 1969-1970, coming home as a captain. Later he joined the National Guard in 1979. In 1981 he was prom oted to the rank o f Major, and he switched to part-time service in the National Guard. In 1988 he became a colo nel and transferred to the Reserves. He began his career as an educator in 1971 at Hudson Catholic. There, he became head o f the math department, head disciplinarian, and assistant football coach o f a state championship team. He came to Prep in 1981 and became Assistant Principal o f Student Affairs in 1984, holding the title until 1989. In this position, he was the Director o f Activities, and he redefined Prep discipline through his efficiency and dedi cation. In his years here, he has held many other roles, and he has set new standards in each. He has been the moderator o f the T. V. Studio and the Stage Crew, and he is the Direc tor o f Physical Plant. For his superior work as an educator, he was named Distinguished Teacher o f Honors Students at Penn State. So, the' Petrean Staff and class o f 1991 bes tow upon this great man yet another honor. We dedicate this book to a man who has taught us how to think and how to live. H e has laughed with us through the years, but m ore important ly, he has shown us how to laugh at ourselves. Through his dedication to the school and its students, he has won respect not only as a teacher but as a friend. Mr. Dandorph, we thank you for your hu mor, your knowledge, your help, your gener ous statistical adjustment, and your suspenders. We pay tribute to you for your dedicated ser vice to your country, your school, and your students. And we dedicate this book to you for changing our lives by sharing yours. F A N T A S TIC!!!

Knowledge is a river, always moving, always changing, but eternal. Throughout life knowl edge grows and develops, changing with each new exper ience; yet, despite the continu ous change that fills life, knowl edge remains. Knowledge gives us passage to the fulfillment of our dreams and opens doors to new worlds. Similarly, the river gives us access to distant lands and cultures, removing the physical restrictions of man. Both knowledge and the river are unlimited sources of power, and by harnessing these, we can live freely, uninhibited by igno rance or weakness. Like water, knowledge is the very substance that sustains life, and it is for this that we strive.

Man’s very nature Is to ponder. Writers have long grappled with life, death, God, and existence in the hopes o f understanding the myster ies that these things comprise. By studying ihe great works o f literature, Prep students share in the profound thoughts o f pens past. The study of literature begins In freshmen year in a survey course in which students learn to deal with the art and appreci ate the symbolism and imagery pres ent. In sophomore year, they encoun ter American literature and discover the ideas and spirit that have made the nation a refuge for free-thinkers and radical views. Junior year pre sents British literature to students. In this course, students survey the works o f authors such as Chaucer, Shakespeare, and Dickens, and they are given the opportunity to proffer their profound and discerning criti cisms o f these works. Senior year brings a more Insightful look at spe cific genres o f literature; if students desire, they may instead take an A d vanced Placement course that pre sents the masterpieces o f world liter ature The Prep English Department also attempts to improve communication skills through a rigorous program of vocabulary building and expository writing. The survey of literature is supplemented by an extensive study o f vocabulary. Through the writing program, beginning with one para graph essays and progressing to a term paper, students learn to de

velop, organize, and present the deep thoughts that lie within. This orderly written communication is of greatest importance in a world where formal presentation is required in all fields. Only through clear communication can men unite to reform government, cure disease, or add to that rich literary tradition for future students to profoundly and discerningly criti cize.

We the People I

In todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s complex society. Prep students must look to the past in order to find answers to the problems of the present. History is indeed cyclic; the past houses secrets waiting to be discovered. Yet, it is more than a study of events; it is a study o f man, his motives, and his methods. Man lives in an imperfect world, one fraught with cruelty, pain, and perpetual conflict. Students study history to end the conflict that destroys society and limits manâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s abilities. In their struggle to conquer the evils that lie within men, students develop several qualities which are bom from the strucgle yet aid in ending it. The study of history instills critical thinking in students. Only by questioning the practices and standards o f society will improvements ever be made. Conflict has always existed, and while students attempt to improve the world, they learn not to trample others on the road to prosperity! Most importantly, students leam that they, like so many others throughout history, can make a difference. Through their voices and their votes, students can change the world. As freshmen, all students study World Civilizations, which is a survey o f the cultures and societies from prehistoric peoples to the European Renaissance. The course focuses on the past achievements and failures of man, on the major events o f history, and on the common structures and ideas that unite us all. In junior year, students study American history. This course introduces the people and events that have made this country great. Through the course, students capture the American Spirit, which has driven this nation and its people forward. An A P course is offered in this year for those who wish to explore in depth the motives and theories that have shaped these United States. In senior year, several electives are offered. These courses emphasize government and politics today. Students study policies and structures in Order to understand how the nations o f the world operate and what changes must be made. It is this awareness o f the need for change and this knowledge of governmental structures that help Prep students to participate in the operation Of the world rather than to live blindly in it

Students study foreign languages to de velop understanding - o f other times and cultures, o f foreign tongues, and o f their own culture in comparison. In this process, stu dents do more than memorize word lists and verb endings; they study other lands and other times. The process begins in freshman year with the study o f Latin. By studying the heritage o f past cultures, students find their own Roman roots and share in the wisdom of the ancients. For most students, this is their first exposure to learning a language as an academic pur suit The year provides technical language skills which serve as a foundation for all later language study. Advancements in transportation and com munication, as well as a new sense o f global unity, have shrunk the world substantially. America must cope with this relationship and enter the global neighborhood if it is to survive; therefore, students must learn to relate to their new international neighbors by learning to communicate with them in their own language. To meet his need, Prep offers courses in French, Italian, German, and Span ish, In sophomore year, all students begin their study o f a modem language; they must continue this study until the end o f their junior year, at which time they may opt for furtherpursuit. Third year courses are offered in all languages, and a Spanish A P class is offered for the many adept native speakers. In the study o f other languages and cul tures, students develop an appreciation for their own. Studying language naturally builds vocabulary since English is the product o f the contributions o f many tongues; memory and communication skills are also improved. Ob serving other cultures helps the students to

better appreciate their own - both the positive and negative elements. Amid this shrinking world, Prep language scholars acquire dili gence, appreciation, and awareness. Y e t per haps the world does not diminish with the global improvement o f communication skills. Maybe everyone’s backyard just gets bigger.

“In The Beginning . . . ”

In a world o f pain and suffering, reli gion offers hope. It provides us with an afterlife, an eternity filled with peace and joy. It provides absolution o f sins and freedom from guilt. Most importantly, religion provides us with God who repre sents human ideals and watches over us. Although we can never understand these mysteries, we study religion to better understand ourselves. The study o f reli gion allows us to appreciate our world and our society and to recognize the qualities for which we should strive. Freshman year presents an introduc tory course. It acquaints the student with the basic concepts of religion and sets the foundation upon which the remainder of the program is built. Not only are the dogmas and the doctrines of the Catholic Church studied, but also the fundamental psychological aspects o f an adolescent’s life and how that relates to Christianity. Sophomore year’s main area of con centration is the scriptures. Beginning with the first books o f the Old Testament and finishing with the Gospels o f the New Testament, students learn to analyze and treasure the scriptures. The concept o f morality and its ramifi cations on a Christian lifestyle is explored during junior year. Topics ranging from leading a fully human life to developing a healthy view of sexuality are discussed in great detail. Furthermore, It is during this year that students first undergo the experience o f the Christian Service Pro gram, which is a major facet of the junfor year religion program. Senior year is the most diversified o f all years for the religion department Course

topics range from death to an introduction to philosophy. This year is the finishing touch to a program designed to explore, question, yet accept, a Christian lifestyle.

E =m c" As the world site on the brink o f new discoveries, the study of science is receiving new empha sis in education. This stress has been put on science in order to cope with the increasing prob lems o f the planet to find the answers to old questions, and to perpetuate the medical and tech nical advances of recent years. At Prep, the study of science plays a major role in preparing stu dents to live in our advanced society, In the students’ search for the secrets of nature, they develop a foundation for the analytical thinking which complex scien tific study demands. Freshman year serves as a general introduc tion to the program that the stu dents will face in the following years. The course covers topics ranging from basic chemistry to basic physics. It is a transitional year in which the students begin to develop thinking skills which are applicable in other disci plines as well. It is usually in the sophomore year that the students first meet a specific area o f scientific study: biology. The study o f life does not merely examine the physical aspect o f the subject; instead, it transcends life’s physical limita tions and teaches students to appreciate its beauty and great ness. During junior and senior year,

the Prep students have the op tion of exploring two or more laboratory sciences: chemistry and physics. The study o f biology would not be complete were it not coupled with the branch of science that deals with the knowl edge of life and matter itself. Physics then combines the knowledge o f life and matter with energy and motion to create an image of the complex and

dynamic world. Looking at the vastness and the complexities of the universe, students realize their mortality; yet, looking inward at the intri cacy of the body and the power o f the mind, they find that they are amazing and unique. In this search for truth, the students de velop an understanding for their world, and in the process, find themselves.

The Final Four . . . An education is mcompiele if it prof fers study only in a few areas. One o f die primary goals of education- is to present a variety o f subject mailer in order that a student may become fully aware o f a§ that compose his environment A Prep education is similarly well rounded. Aside from mathematics, languages, etc., a Prep student is also exposed to other topics which balance out his education. Examples o f these are musk: and art which are mandatory in freshman year; group guidance, also mandatory in fresh man year, physical etkication. which is taken throughout all four years; and fi nally, electives including computer sci ence. journalism, business law, and ac counting. The music prcxyam. in general is an introductory course, familiarizing stu dents with all that music entails. This ranges from music theory to the study of the great masterpieces. The muse pro gram also otfers music tutorials for all students studying instrumental perfor mance. Similariy, the art program intro duces freshmen to the wonderful world o f art N ot only are the ancient masters discussed, but also the students are <£ven an opportunity themselves to experiment with their imaginations by expressing them through paint and quill Mens sana in corpore sano a sound mind in a sound body that is the combination aimed at by the Physical Education and group guidance pro grams, By striving for a healthy body, the mind aiso profits. Throu^i the P.E. pro gram, students learn not only the rules o f the g^tme, but also fa r play and an overall appreciation for sports. Through group guidance, freshmen are helped to feel comfortable and secure in their new sur roundings. Beginning in junior year, students are

permitted, if they so desire, to take alter nate courses in addition to the traditional sequence. These indude computer sci ence and accounting- These courses help to round out a student’s education. In senior year, students can choose to take two o f these electives: journalism, a must for budding writers; and business law, for all would-be Supreme Court Justices. These, too, aid in diversifying student schedules and providing a well-balanced education.

Dear Class o f ’91, Those of you who remember me probably either survived German 1 with me, or you put up with me as your Forensics coach (-or both, since 1 often recruited from my German classes). It’s hard to believe that you are already Seniors. You’ve probably grown a lot, spiritually and physically; I bet I wouldn’t even recognize some of you at first sight (And by the way, no, I haven’t grown any myself; I am still, as one student once called me, “the mouse that roared.) I really miss Prep, and think o f you often. My office is full of Prep paraphernalia: pictures, yearbooks, Snoopy photo-copy cards from (who else?) Fr. Azzarto. I would be honored to add your yearbook to my collection. You have a special place in my heart (and maybe this is a little selfish on my part) because you are the last class that I taught there. And when you gradu ate, my strongest connection to Prep (my stu dents) will be dissolved. One of the reasons I decided to go back to school (1 am working on a doctorate in German literature), is that your own curiosity spurred me on. You, and your predecessors, often asked questions about German culture, politics or art that I could answer superficially. (But I confess a certain curiosity on my own part!) Now I’ve got all the resources anyone could ask for at my disposal. My days are very different from those spent at Prep: there are long stretches of isolated work in the bowels of the immense Widener library. Quite a change from being with exciting

and challenging young men from 7:45 to circa 6 P.M. (or much later, if it was a Friday before a Forensics tournament!). While working nowa days, I often look at my watch and, without intending to, think, “Now it’s recess” or “Now ifs lunch time” or “7th period is over!” Then I let my mind wander and try to imagine what you are all up to. Certain questions plagued me: Is Sean Adams still sporting that lop sided haircut? Has Jason Gers ever learned how to roll his “r”? Has Randy Bruno met the legal minimum this year? H ow did Lee Dorry get that job as host of America’s Funniest Home Videos? Wie geht es Herm Wignarajan? Has Rich Santoro persisted in his Marine Madness? Does Dennis Duarte still have a weakness for David Letterman? You’ve got to fill me in. The most exciting news I have for you is that Marie and I are expecting a baby! I start parenting classes at the hospital next month. We are both really happy about this. I know that it is not realistic to expect that I will be able to catch up with all of you. But if your studies or travels do bring you north, please feel welcome (really!) to drop in on us (Fr. Azzarto and that oracle of Prep, Ethel, know how to reach us). Even if it’s been a while, it would be fun to catch up. I wish you all the best, and hope that you will follow your heart (and not merely the clink of a coin) in your work or studies. Good luck, Bill Donahue

Dear Class of 1991, Greetings from California from where I con tinue studying theology and preparing for ordi nation to the priesthood in June, 1992. By the time you read this, I will have been ordained a deacon (March, 1991). It gives me great pleasure to wish you all the best, and pray that God may bless each one of you as your complete your studies, and prepare to leave Grand Street for the adventures that lie in the future. I remember your class fondly and my memo ries o f Freshman Religion and homeroom four years ago always evoke a chuckle. H ow could one forget the escapades o f Brian DiFeo and Oswaldo Rossi or those o f Dave Polo and Ronald Gain? What about Jeff Martin’s ques tions during religion class? And then, o f course, there was Dave Bell’s wardrobe and the antics of the Mike Egan, Rob Cosenza and Dominic DellaFave troika. T o end on a positive note, have you forgotten that IE was the basketball intramurals champion your Freshman year? Again, Class o f 1991, buena suerte, and as they say in Cali: like, totally hang loose, dudes! Peace, Claudio M. Burgaleta, S.J.

To the Senior Class: Your four years here at Prep have been completed successfully. Now it is time to say good bye. During these four years together we have grown in faith and in hope. Through self discipline we have learned to be loyal; we have expanded your thinking and reasoning in order to understand more fully this great world of ours. Good Luck! Semper Fidelis! Mr. Leonard A. Fordellore

Dear Seniors, “For everything there is a season and a time for every purpose under heaven.” For the past four years, time has been given to you; time for sharing and caring, time for growing physi cally, spiritually, emotionally, and academically. Time for winning and time for losing, time for achiev ing goals and restructuring dreams. Throughout these times, you have been nourished by the love of fam ily and friends and gradually that love has shaped you into being the person you are today. For four years the phrase “men for others” has been offered to you as an ideal upon which to pattern your life. Now, it is your time to go forth and to live out this ideal. May you go forth with love in your heart and joy in your being. I wish great peace on your journey through further education and then onward into life. Good luck and may God be with you always. Pax et Bonum! Sister Francis Marie, OSF

To The Senior Class, the Prep graduates of 1991: Thanks for welcoming me in my first year as President. You, the students, are the most important part of St. Peter’s Prep. Without you, it would have no purpose, it would not exist. I thank God for you and for the opportunity to serve you. I hope and pray that you’ll never forget the values you’ve been learning here nor forget that all you’ve been able to accomplish in the struggles and joys of the past four years has been a gift from God who created and loves you. If you don’t forget those two things, you’ll never forget Prep. You’re a fine group of young men. Please keep in touch with the friends you’ve made here. God bless, Fr. Jim Joyce, S.J.

Dear Class of 1991, Farewell Prep Men! W e will not forget you. You have given so much o f yourselves to Prep over these past four years. I thank you for sharing yourself so fully. Now you carry the Prep spirit to distant places. Let your motto for life be: All You Can Be! Be a competent man who knows what he’s talking about; Be a kind and loving man when dealing with others and above all keep close to God. Good luck and may God be with you always! We will surely miss you here! Fr. John E. Browning

To The Class of ’91: It has been a pleasure working and growing with you for the past three years. You have all left a part of yourselves and take a part of us with you. We have learned from each other and will always benefit from that special gift. May your travels beyond Prep bring you peace and happiness. Jim Dondero

Dear Class of 1991: When it’s time to call it quits and to return to your creator, 1wish that each of you may be able to look back upon your life and be able to say, “Yes, that was my life, and I lived it as fully as I knew how. It was good.” May God bless you, and may you take many happy memories with you as you leave Prep. Jim Bischoff

Dear Class of 1991, To The Seniors of 1991, It was a very enjoyable four years. I hope you remember the good things we accomplished here at Prep. I wish all of you the best in all your future en deavors. For now, all I say to you is, “ Good Luck and God Bless you.” Mr. Z

I would like to offer you my sincere congratula tions on your graduation from St. Peter’s. I hope that the past four years have been for each of you both an enjoyable and a profitable experience. May the knowledge you have attained, the friendships you have formed and the care you have received at the Prep provide you with the firm foundation you need as you move on to new challenges and new opportunities for personal growth and for the service of others. Fr. Bender

To Everyone at Prep, Best wishes to the class of ’91. Never lose the wonderful spirit that characterizes all that you have done. I miss you all. Love, Kathleen Costantini

Dear Class o f 1991: Mission Drives; Ceasar’s Gallic Wars; half sheet quizzes; monthly dances; Swim Team Championships; Emmaus retreats; Thanksgiv ing and Christmas liturgies . . . . These are just a few o f the memories of Prep which occupy a special place in my heart. I think often of many friends I met while in Jersey City, both among the faculty and student body. I miss all of you! I miss, too, being part o f the faith commu nity which is Prep, the sense o f being united in purpose in trying to bring about the Kingdom o f G od here on earth. The terms “ social justice” and “preferential option for the poor” have been replaced with terms “ Dow Jones Industrial average” and “ Profit Sharing Plans” in my career. However, I have not forgotten the many really important lessons learned over

the years from the Jesuits and their dedicated lay colleagues. These lessons can be best summarized thusly: See Christ in yourself and in others, without regard to the color o f their skin, the religion they practice, the passport they carry or the myriad differences which make each one o f us unique, and uniquely loved by God. See Christ as did the disciples on the road to Emmaus, alive and responsive to our hopes and fears. In closing, go forth from St. Peter’s in confidence. God has given you the necessary talents to make a difference in the world. Do not be afraid to do so! Pax Christi semper vobiscum sit, Richard Shea P.S. I enjoy being back in Boston; people here don’t speak with an accent. RS

Dear Class of 1991, Firstly, thank you for giving me the oppor tunity to contribute to the edition of the Petrean that will reflect your time at St. Peter’s Prep. Since the invitation to write this letter arrived, my mind has been full of so many memories and amusing incidents that we shared throughout the 1987-88 academic year. My one fear in writing this response is that as Seniors you may not want to relive those Freshmen years, and that students who toyed with a variety o f personality traits in 1987 may have dispensed with those characteris tics and arrived at the “men for others” stage, which is the signature o f Jesuit education. 1 am also concerned that certain students may not be graduating alongside their peers. While Andrew H ood struggled as an aca demic, he certainly gave me an insight to an aspect of American culture very different from that o f Australia. The “ Devils from Down Under” were given the job o f initiating me into the Ameri can way o f life, while I attempted to initiate them to the demands of Prep. 1 have vivid memories o f the GQness” and friendship of Brian Barulich and Mike Fromfield’s good advice on the character o f his peers. It would be remiss o f me not to mention Loren Hart’s breadth of academic talent. And in that same year I was introduced to the “sporting ap

proach” to study by Dennis Granelli, Billy Dwyer and Chris Connolly, which went something like this: “ If any sporting contest was on any T V channel, then homework cannot be expected to be completed.” I later discovered this to be an American tradition, not just a Prep tradition! Fortunately, I was able to interact with students outside my homeroom. My maths (sorry, in the US it’s math) class contained the combination of Andrew DiMeo, Nick Mangelli, Casey McGee (Who majored in girls) and Amos Remy (whose sole job it was to laugh at Andrew H ood’s jokes). I suppose Mike Egan and Miguel Sierra have dominated the basketball arena this year. The school where I now teach recently won the Australian championships, but I suspect that they would not have got a game in their freshman year. Pete Gannon’s cour age in competing in the Senior Hockey team made me question his intelligence, not his fortitude. I watch the game on tv back home and still haven’t figured out why possession of the puck is of tertiary importance. Daniel Luipersbeck has no doubt been a dominant force in Forensics, Luis Ayala has progressed from H A P and Petroc to the heights of E.I.C. of Petrean, and Mike Struk has undoubtedly, finally, sent Ms. Baber insane. As Seniors I hope that you have all had the opportunity to experience the element of

Prep that makes it unique . . . Emmaus weekends. No doubt many of you were asked by Fr. Azzarto to lead you peers and under classmen through the journey. My two week ends left an indelible impression and the priveledge of working alongside “The Big A ” remains foremost in my mind when I deal with students today. After leaving St. Peter’s, I travelled through the Carribean, most of the States and Can ada. Every country is different and should not be compared, but because of the friendship that I encountered at Prep, I can honestly say that I am one of the few people in the world who can say that they honestly love “Joisey City.” At present I am the Senior Coordinator” at Marcellin College, a Marist school in Mel bourne. I am responsible for the academic and behavioral progress of the 175 seniors and find time to teach Mathematics to Sen iors and Juniors. Next year I will complete my Masters in Education, which will lead me to my next challenge. I wish you all the best and pray that you will achieve entrance at the College or Uni versity of your preference and attempt to live according to the inspiration of the Jesuit motto “Sursum Corda” .

Please Send To Me Adolescence is often a very trying time: growing responsibility, increased schoolwork, and new freedoms all combine to put much stress on the young adult’s mind. St. Peter’s, as a secondary school founded on Christian principles, is dedi cated not only to providing each student with a solid education but also to seeing that each student becomes a mature adult. This year, one o f the ways Prep accomplished this was through its Guid ance program. In this program, each student was assigned to a guidance coun selor, who met with the student several times during the year. Freshmen were assigned to Fr. John Browning, S.J. and Mrs. Lori Berman, while upperclassmen were counseled by Father Enrico Raullf, SJ. Mr. Jim Dondero, and Ms. Kathy Rowan. The counselors reviewed the stu dents transcript, discussed family situa tions, and worked on any problems that the students might have had. Students were free to visit their counselor at any time, for any reason. During junior and senior years, an other aspect o f the Guidance department h S r f 1S r v S J rJ d J #

PREP INC.

The operation o f the school was not restricted to academics alone; several people at Prep worked tire lessly to oversee the many other as pects o f the school. Mr. Settembre. the newly appointed Assistant Dean o f Students, brought a new sense o f discipline to Prep, enforcing the code o f behavior and school pride which makes Prep unique. The Develop ment Office took charge o f both alumni affairs and fund raising. The office’s work sustained Prep’s con nection to those who have left its doors, and the office provided a cru cial source o f income to the Prep community. The Treasurer’s Office, headed by Father Steve Meany, han dled the complex finances o f the school, balancing the budgets for the school’s many activities and trying to keep tuition cost low. The Office o f Computer Operations was assigned with the difficult task o f maintaining Prep’s last computer networks; OCO was closely involved in the efforts to raise funds and disseminate informa tion about Prep, as well as providing die students and faculty with the latest in computer technology. The Office o f Public Information was in charge o f publicity and recruiting; O PI’s efforts were partly responsible for the large enrollment this year and Prep’s fine reputation among gram mar schools. Mr. Horan oversaw public relations, bringing the Prep spirit to schools and communities throughout northern New Jersey. The dedication and efforts o f the many people and offices involved in Prep's daily operation, annual bud get, and public relations allowed Prep to continue its existence as a school and a family.

There were many people whose contributions to Prep lay beyond the classroom, people who were nonetheless an integral part o f the Prep family. Father Tony Azzarto, the school chaplain, brought iove and guidance to the Prep community with his retreats, his doughnuts, and his comfort, helping us to make it through the day and through life together. Mr. John Ollinger structured an maintained the school library, and he was always available to aid students in the use o f the system. Ms. Carol Larrabee, the school nurse, gave medical aid and comfort to students, guiding those whose health and temporarily failed them. Mrs. Elizabeth Dandorph served in the Attendance Office, assigned daily records. Ms. Ethel Wynn kept watch at the Prep switchboard, relaying messages and keys and reminding parents that, despite the snow, there was school. Mr. Leonard Fordellone offered his services to Mr. Reidy, assisting in the arduous tasks o f supervising and reporting the academic affairs o f the school. Mr. John Hammer,

the special projects coordinator, organized many Prep functions such as reunions and dinners. Besides serving as invaluable assistants to the administration, Prepâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s secretaries blessed the school with their cheerful smiles and their aid to the students. The school certainly could not have done without the efforts o f Mrs. Grace Gualario and Mrs. Dolores Russell, secretaries to Mr. Denny* Mrs. Eileen Doolan, secretary to Fr. Balduf; and Mrs. Joan Fitzgibbons, secretary to Fr. Joyce. The school was also served by the maintenance staff, guided by Mr. Dandorph. These men and women made sure that the school buildings were in fine condition, cleaning and making any necessary renovations. The contributions o f these people facilitated the organization and operaÂ tion of people facilitated the organization and operation o f the school, and their presence helped students make it through the year a little more easily.

SERVICE ORGANIZATIONS The Student Council and National Honors Society are two o f Prep’s major service organizations. Each one ^ rvices forthe s^dents of St. Peter s. The student Council is an elective body with duties other than service while NHS is an appointed activity which holds tutoring as one of its primary functions. However, the goal o f each organization is similar to try to make the school a better place for members of the Prep community. The Student Council, moderated by Mr. Jim Dondero, was divided into three committees; Service, Student Affairs, and Public Relations. Each o f these committees served a different purpose. The Service Committee operated most functions and service programs sponsored by the Student communication between the Student Council and student body in the form o f flyers, newsletters, and suggestion boxes. The Student Affairs Committee handled Student Council activities and relations between the faculty and students. Mr. Frank Betkowski, the assistant moderator, acted as parliamentarian at all Council meetings. Executives included Rommellito Gaddi, president, Brian Carrillo,' secretary, and Loren Hart, treasurer. The National Honor Society is a service organization which was open to the needs o f the Chaplain and the Principal. The Society was moderated by Mr. Pat Donohue and its executives included President Andy Mahavi, Vice President Todd Boland, secretary Ryan Prendergrast, and Treasurer Francis Gutierrez. The NHS made broad steps away from its former reputation as an elitist organization and moved toward a community orientation. NHS members tutored in the Academic Clinic and helped with the Open Houses the Phone-athon, and several programs which aided the needy. Criteria foe admission to the NHS are academic excellence, character, leadership abd service. By maintaining a more visible profile than in years past, these seniors provided an outstanding example for members of the classes o f “92, "93 and “94.

ORIENTATION

Now in its second year, the Big Brother Program was established to help ease the transition from grammar school to high school for our incoming freshmen. The program was designed to make them more comfortable in their new surroundings and more aware of what it takes to succeed at Prep. The Freshmen are provided with older, more experienced students to answer their questions and alleviate their fears. Last year the program was very successful and the Big Brothers of the 1990-91 school year have continued that tradition. The eighty-two Big Brothers were the first people the incoming Freshmen met when they entered St. Peter’s Prep during the Orientation, which was held on September 5th and 6th. The purpose of the orientation was consistent with that of the Big Brother program itself. The games played at the Freshmen Orientation were not competitive; they were ice-breakers which offered the new Prepsters opportunities to get to know one another. The Big Brothers introduced themselves and the school to the newcomers through discussions, tours, and a rousing game of ‘Butts Up.” The Big Brothers program was headed by Ms. Lori Snyder and Mr. Tom Kendall. There was also a group o f students who, while they were not assigned to freshmen, helped Ms. Snyder and Mr. Kendall with the organizational aspects of the program; the orientation would not have run so smoothly without the aid o f the Student Council and dozens of upperclassmen who volunteered to begin school two days early in order to assist in after Orientation, to continually check up on their Little Brothers. These students had to let their Little Brothers know that they were available for them at all times. It seems that this relatively young program has a long and bright future here at Prep.

■p RETREATS Life IS a consfw,t,:compkx:p(e«s$ o f change. Day by day, year by year, man constantly searches for and finds ways to better himself, and thus, change occurs. It is clearly visible that change is, furthermore, intrinsic to man not only technologically, but also socially, politically, economically^spiritually, etc. Yet none o f this change would be possible if man did not know himself first. ^ the individual, one o f the greatest periods o f change during the course of a lifetime is the period between childhood and adulthood, grammar school and college. Prep studenfea** given the opportunity to evaluate question and confront the changes in their livesjihe relationships, in their lives and the presence o f God in their lives through the retreat programs run by the Chaplain; ®ne-day retreats for freshmen and sophomores and weekend-long Emmaus retreats for juniors and seniors.

immtmmmmuaamm WBMmmmmSSS -■ : |pBM—

This is one o f the purposes o f the retreats: to present an opportune to the men who will be guiding our world tomorrow to better know themselves. This is one of the purposes o f the Emmaus weekends: to let the students o f St. Peter’s Prep discover their identity and the identity o f others with whom they are sharing the weekend as well as to enable them to find God in their lives. Taking place at the shoreside town of Sea Bright, N.J.,the retreats were open to juniors and seniors. Led by the Emmaus Team, a group o f seniors who have already been on the retreat, and a group of alternating adults the weekends took place monthly. After spending three days at Sea Bright, each weekend was capped off by Monday night’s “Homecoming,” where their Emmaus brothers (and a few sisters) welcomed participants back to the world and shared a mass with them. The look upon the pisor fellows, who return to school the next day appearing haggard and frazzled, is only reflective o f the inner peace and self-knowledge which they possess. Using this knowledge, they are prepared to face the world and are not afraid to change it . . . In similar steps to the Emmaus retreats, but on a smaller scale, the Underclassmen retreats are designed to bnng sophomores and freshmen closer to god and to themselves. In the fall the freshmen and in the spring the sophomores traveled to various locations in New York and New Jersey and participated in numerous activities at the retreats, watching films and sharing in discussions. However, the day o f the retreat was not all spent in mediation; students were given an opportunity to engage in a wide variety o f outdoor activities such as football, soccer, etc. Students left the retreats with an increased feeling of unity as well as an increased sense of themselves and the blessings in their lives.

Clockwise from above: The Emmaus fire —- harbinger of light and warmth to the weekends; “No, Dave. I don’t think you ve gotten dishpan hands yet;” Emmaus brothers partake in an Emmaus tradition — building the banner; “that cake sure looks good.”

CHRISTIAN SERVICES While students learn about the various aspects o f Christian life in religion class they should also put their beliefs into practice. St. Peter’s Prep offers its students the opportunity to do so through the following programs: the Hoboken Shelter, the Higher Achievem ent Program, and Eucharist Ministers program. These organizations allow Prep students to serve others in various capacities. In helping others, members of the Prep community learned more about life and about themselves. One o f the benefits o f going to school in a urban environment is that students are exposed to the real world. A t St. Peter’s, students not only see the problems facing society, but they are also encouraged to help those who are affected by such problems. One group o f people who need aid and support is the homeless. This year, twice each month, students and faculty from St. P eter’s, supervised by Ms. Mullen, went to the Bishop Mahurter Homeless Shelter in Hoboken. There, by serving and interacting with less fortunate people, students were able to appreciate their own lives more; they also developed a deeper sensitivity for, and concern about, the plight o f the homeless. Another group o f students generously gave of their time, but they did so in service to a population quite different from the homeless. For six weeks during the summer and for five weekends during the winter, they assisted Fr. Browning in running the Higher Achievem ent Program, which is geared toward eighth graders. Days w ere spent strengthening skills in Math, English, and Reading, but there was also time allotted for fun and games. While sacrificing six weeks o f the summer or five precious mornings of sleep in the fall was an extrem ely generous gesture, the tutors did it graciously and well. By giving to the younger students, Prep students w ere themselves enriched. While shelter volunteers and H A P tutors served the physical and intellectual needs o f others, there was another group o f students who served the spiritual needs o f the Prep community.’ Commissioned at the Mass of the H oly Spirit in September, these seniors administered the Eucharist at various liturgies, as well as assisted Fr. Azzarto in collections for the needy, in prayer services and at masses. In a quiet but positive way, the Eucharistic Ministers w ere a vital part o f spiritual life at Prep. Their spirit o f generosity, like that of the shelter volunteers and H A P tutors, helped make Prep a better place.

Anniversary O f The Birth O f S t Ignatius The Anniversary O f The Founding O f The Society O f Jesus

IN IG O LOPEZ de ONAZ y LOYOLA was born in 1491 to a family of Basque nobility in the province o f Guizpuzcoa. A t this time, empires were being created and destroyed, with the nearby Moorish bastion at Granada falling in 1492. This was also a period of discovery and adventure; it was then that Christopher Columbus journeyed to America and opened a new world to the Europeans. Into such a bold world Inigo was bom; thus, he spent his early life dreaming o f the soldier’s glory. It was this vaulting desire for battle that finally led in Inigo’s conversion to a life of prayer and service. While defending Pamplona against French forces, Inigo’s right leg was shattered by a cannon ball. The victorious French gave Inigo the necessary medical attention but set the bone wrong. After returning to his home, Ignatius ordered that his leg be reset. This operation brought extreme pain, with Ignatius nearing death several times. During the long recovery, Ignatius requested novels o f romance and adventure, but the only books available were lives o f Christ and o f the saints. These books introduced Inigo to the life o f spirituality, service and a relationship with God. After this initial conversion, Inigo began ajourney o f repentance, hoping to reach the Holy Land. It was on this journey that he compiled the “Spiritual Exercises. ” After returning from the Holy Land, he traveled throughout Europe. During this time, he studied in Paris, where he made many important companions and changed his name to Ignatius o f Loyola. Further journeys carried Ignatius across the continent and finally brought him and his companions to Rome. There, Pope Paul III authorized the establish ment o f the Order, the Society o f Jesus. The Society put itself in the hands o f the Pope, sending members as missionaries to many lands. Ignatius was named Superior General of the Order, monitoring the activities o f the diverse society. As head o f the Society, Ignatius oversaw the drafting o f the statutes o f the new Order, opened Jesuit schools, andpublished the Spiritual Exercises. Ignatius ’ long life o f service to Christ and to man ended on July 31, 1556. H e was later canonized on March 12, 1622, as a saint and role model for all who have benefited from the Society o f Jesus. Today, Jesuits continue doing the work started by Ignatius and his followers. Jesuit educational institutions continue to flourish internationally, challenging young people

to become men and women for others, with a sensitivity toward the poor and a commitment to the practice o f faith and the promotion of justice. Jesuit missions continue to serve needy populations, providing schools, staffing parishes and social agencies and seeking justice for all members o f society, not just the politically or economically advantaged. Although Ignatius’ own life o f service to Christ and man may have ended in 1556, his spirit o f service and the dedication to pursuing Christ’s work continues to change the lives o f people all over the world for the greater glory o f God.

IHIW

SPIRIT The sun dawned upon the old build ings of the Prep as the school day began anew. As sleepy-eyed students, on their way to their lockers, shuffled in, they suddenly encountered a very energetic sign, reading, “ RUN LIKE H E L L !” They realized, at this point, that this was the handiwork of the Spirit Committee. As the day went by, these same students were entertained and inspired by numerous other signs which were found in nearly every crev ice of the school. Yet, this is far from being all that the Committee did. M o derated by Mr. Charles Gilley, S. J. and Mr. Robert Reiser, S. J., the Spirit Committee was also the driving force behind pep rallies. Their enthusiastic view of the school aided them in the organization o f these events, whose

purpose was to introduce the varsity teams to the Prep community, and to increase Prep spirit. Marauder Mike Gomez, was a central member of this group. He enthusiastically supported Prep varsity athletes and encouraged others to do the same. Another group of people important in stirring up Prep Spirit was tradition ally introduced at each rally, the Prep Cheerleaders. Coached by Tara Zadroga, herself a cheerleader for the N ew Jersey Nets, the 1991 Cheer leaders were partly responsible for let ting Prep spirit show not only at the rallies but also at the sporting events. It was through the activity of these groups that the pride and glory o f the school was kept alive and kicking! A bove; Santa Claus and his elves.

MUSIC A student who has a desire to make musk: at Prep had several options open to him this year. If he plays a brass woodwind, or percussion instrument, he could have joined the concert band, open to all. If his instrument o f choice 15 the 2ui1ar' be mi3h' in the Guitar Club, also open to alL If he is particularly skilled he may have been asked to join the Jazz Ensemble, a group for high-level musicians. Once again, the band had a very successful year. Fears about the absence of long time band director Rob Sauer were quickly dissipated by new band leader Mr. Bob Garcia, who was aided by Band President Thomas Hoetzl and Vice-Presidents Scott Bardzell and Eric Stroud. The band performed at a number o f Prep functions- at football games, it provided pep and spirit to the crowd, leading them in chants and cheers; it also provided accompaniment for the actors and actresses in the fall musical. Kiss Me Kate. The rest o f the year was spent in preparation for the annual Spnng Concert at which the band displayed the fruits of a hard year's work. And as usual, the band provided music at masses throughout the year. In a more informal environment students who desired to jam with fellow guitarists gathered as the Guitar Chib. The Club held frequent get-togethers, moderated by head librarian and guitar affidanado Mr, Ollinger. Guitarists developed their techniques and their musical abilities as a result o f these friendly gatherings. Perhaps the most intense Prep musical group, the Jazz Ensemble is composed o f students who possess exceptional musical ability and wish to challenge themselves in an ensemble setting. Membership is by invitation only. The ensemble livened up many Prep functions throughout the year, including Freshmen Orientation, open houses, and motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s club dinners; they also competed in the New Jersey Teen Arts Festival. A special note should be made o f several who, although not in any band or club, used the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s equipment for their own purposes. Often meeting after school or on Saturdays, these bands used the facilities to practice and to made recordings o f their own music. This was something new, a welcome addition to the musical life here at the Prep. Above; Mr. John Ollinger, the moderator o f the Guitar and Rock & Roll Clubs, strums his guitar

MEETING IN THE LIBRARY A t two-thirty, the school day ends but life at Prep is just beginning. Some students head for athletic fields, others to the newspaper office or to play practice. The library also comes alive as the final bell rings. There, Prep men assemble not only to find information, but also to relieve themselves of the school day’s stress. Through participation in various co-curricular activities in the library, students pursue their personal interests while making many friends who share common hobbies. Moderated by Mr. Links, the Chess Club was ideal for both the beginner and the experienced competitor. Knowing that they could improve only through practice, Chess Club members practiced regularly after school. The Club offered students a chance to learn the rudiments of the game or hone their skills. Among the many members, there was always someone at the proper level of play to challenge you. The Club also competed with various other schools in this timeless game. With Mr. Ollinger as the moderator, members of the Library Club selflessly spent their free time maintaining the library for the benefit of the school. Most students do not realize the time and effort needed to properly run a system so frequently used as the Prep library. In addition to their service, the members of the library club increased their knowledge about libraries in their annual trip to the New York City Public Library. The Role Playing Games Club gave Prep students an opportunity to escape from reality. After the school day, one could observe members organizing campaigns and battling dragons in games such as Robotech and Dungeons and Dragons. The members of the club must be admired for their excellent imaginations, despite their intermittent semblances o f insanity.

MEDIA ARTS In today’s high-tech world, the media have risen to great importance as teach ers, as entertainers, and as means for artists and actors to express themselves. Prep students have also begun to explore such pursuits in order to express their emotions and share them with others. The St. Peter’s T.V. Studio is an organ ization which exposes students to the technology involved in the broadcasting field. This year, the Studio was moderated by Sr. Francis, and it attracted Prep stu dents who are interested in media arts. It recorded various Prep functions during the school year, such as plays and athletic events, keeping a visual record o f the year. Student members expressed their creativ ity in activities such as writing, producing, and editing their own game show. They also were exposed to the complexity of the world o f high-tech video. Executive members Scott Bardzell, Shafaat Khan, Rajub Aditya, and Luis Ayala trained new members and organized Studio events.

While the T.V. Studio captured life’s motion, another group of students fo cused on preserving still images, single moments in time, on film. With their cameras, these students transferred Prep’s many emotions and experiences onto photographs, which in future days will evoke memories of these high school years. With the use of Prep’s darkroom and the guidance of Dr. Kennedy, photog raphers can learn to develop and print their film, both color and black-and-white. While the photographers focused their cameras, the Modeling Club provided an object for their film. The members of the Prep Modeling Club expressed them selves from the other side of the camera. Moderated by Mr. Jim Dondero, the Club practiced the techniques o f appearing before a camera or an audience. The Club was led by senior Bernardo Munoz and Isadora Pena, who organized the group for modeling shows and sessions.

BEHIND THE SCENES Working “behind the scenes” is a noble job for anyone. Without people willing to do such work, many of the social functions that Prep has, such as dances and plays, could not take place. Students who work behind the scenes are the backbone o f Prep. They do as much work as anyone else, and yet ask for nothing in return. They are not looking to steal the limelight. They are simply trying to make Prep a.better place to be. The two major organizations at Prep that desetve recognition for their quiet diligeocevare the Dance Committee and the Stage Crew. Many people who attended Prep dances took the lights, music, and even decorations for granted. They did not realize, that it was only through the hard work and dedication o f the Dance Committee that these necessities o f a dance were achieved. The Committee’s duties generally were » clear out the cafeteria o f all the garbage, tables, and chairs, as well as to make sure that the sound system and lights were working. This pack of hard-working guys even set up and worked in the coat rooms. Believe it or not, that’s not all. After the dance was over, when eveiyone else went home and to sleep, the Dance Committee stayed behind and cleaned up the cafeteria for the next school day. This year’s committee was headed by Chairman John Barnes and Co-Chairman Luis Ayala and Alex Ordonez. Another group o f people who stayed behind, long after crowds dispersed, was the Stage Crew. When people think o f a Prep play, they usually think of the cast. Yet in many ways, the constructions o f the Stage Crew are also critical to a top-notch production. The Crew builds the sets,, which in itself is an incredibly difficult task; this aspect o f the Crew was guided this year by Production Manager Nick Mangelli. Besides this, the Stage Crew assures that the spotlight and footlights are working, under the leadership of Lighting Manager Alex Ordonez. Stage Crew members also change the sets between scenes. Production Manager Todd Boland coordinated the many rigorous set changes which Prep productions required. The Stage Crew was usually found working diligently in the hallway between the wrestling room and the campus shop, while the cast was practicing in the cafeteria. This spirited group of artisans and craftsmen contributed greatly to the performing arts at Prep this year, despite not always being familiar (as in the case of “Kiss Me Kate”) with the facilities or the lighting equipment.

FUNDRAISERS Prep men have frequently shown that they are truly men for others, Their generosity was particularly evident in their drives to raise money. This year, through a variety of functions, students raised funds for people far and near. Perhaps more significant than the actual profits, however, were the sacrifices made by the students. The true generosity of Prep students was found not in the amount of money given but in the sacrifices made in order to contribute. Many students quietly gave up a lunch or another record so that someone else might benefit. The organization and execution of Prep’s fundraisers required the efforts o f many students and faculty members. Countless hours were spent publicizing events, increasing student awareness of the state o f the school and o f the world, and counting the money that poured in. The success o f the fund raisers was largely due to the ability of the Student Council and the Mission Drive Committee to hamesslhe interest, energy, and m o n w o f the students and faculty. This year s Walkathon was again a success, especially in terms o f student participation. Over ninety percent of the student body participated in the walk, spurred by the incentives offered by the Student Counci:. Under the guidance o f Mr. Jim Dondero, the Student Council not only organized the walk and the collection of funds, but the Council also presented students with several appealing prizes, including a trip to Europe and a half-year’s tuition. The new route devised by the Council allowed the students to finish the walk at Prep, where they could take advantage o f the school’s new recreation area. Stirred by the fun and the prizes of the walk, the students did their share in helping to meet Prep’s annual fund. After combing their neighborhoods for sponsors, a large majority of the students made the walk to aid their school and to spend a day with friends. The school also reached out to the needy who lay thousands o f m ite away. As a Jesuit school, Prep continued to recognize the needs o f those who were bom into a state o f poverty and violence. Leading the drive to support the Jesuit missions was the Mission Drive Committee, headed by Mr. Bob Zawistowski, Mr. Robert Reiser, S.J., and Mr. Charles Gilley, S.J. The Mission Drive allowed the school to support a serious cause in an enjoyable way Homerooms throughout the school competed for the prestige o f bringing in the most money, while the school bonded together in events such as Bowl-A-Mania and Chocolate Pudding Wrestling. In reaching out to others, the Prep students grew closer together to each other, sharing their money with the missions and their laughter with each other.

These activities proved ways for people to express themselves- th L are activities in which everyone may excel. Among these are the noncompetitive athletics, which give the students a chance to compete against each other in a friendly atmosphere. They offer a productive way to spend time and allow participants to take their minds off academics and work with a team. a ^ L Z ST PUlZ ° f athleta * M l the intramurals program. Intramurals provided welcome change from academics to athletics during the schoolday. During their lunch periods, students from the sane year competed ,n sports such as basketball and volleyball.

SCIENCE ORIENTED ACTIVITIES In the last century, the world has become increasingly linked t».s3ence and technology. Inventions, discoveries and improvements have hurled the world into a new age o f observation and awareness; As the world progresses’ Prep keeps up with this movement by offering science-oriented clubs. Through these, students have the opportunity to explore the scientific world that lies beyond the pages of a textbook. These clubs provide a chance for students to observe and experiment through their own senses and thus develop a personal sense o f the complex universe in which they live. Moderated by Mr. Boyle, the sSence club was again.'.one of the largest clubs in school. The club had many subdivisions, such as the Aeronautics: Club and the Outdoors Club. De Rebus Scientific^ the club's newsletter mfcwsned the students about upcoming events and interesting scientific information. During the year, club membere participated in various field trips and activities. Through these excursions the club reaffirmed the importance o f a direct interaction with nature rather than a superficial textbook knowledge. The Math Club was composed o f students whose trilerest in Math drove them to display their talents outside of the classroom. Under the guidance of Mr. Reidy, the Club competed in the interscholastic New Jersey Math League By pre-test practices, the Club both prepared for the test and furthered their math skills. Many of the Club’s members were interested in Math not merely as an extracurricular activity but as a future career; thus, the Club introduced Its members to concepts that might someday play an important role in their lives. In recent years, the computer revolution has taken new dimensions. The computer has become an invaluable and irreplaceable element in all fields; thus, knowledge of the computer has become as essential to the rising student as the computer itself has become to the world’s modernization. This year, the Computer Club offered Prep students the opportunity to become familiar with this tool, providing them with an array o f machines. For those who already possessed a deeper knowledge of computer operation, the Club provided a chance to explore the more esoteric dimensions o f the computer world.

PERFORMING ARTS A student involved with an extracurricular activity at the Prep rarely gets! the chance to show the outside world what he is doing in his activity. He may excel at a particular activity, or have a great interest in a club, but the pleasures gained from it are mainly his own. Two activities at St. Peter's, however, deal with public performance: Dramatics and Forensics. The students who participate in these activities: derive their pleasure from performing for other people. There is fr.ceed great personal satisfaction in memorizing Sines for a play, o t reading from Robert Frost, but without an audience, they are just so many words. This year, the Prep Dramatics Society produced CafePorter’s Kiss Me, Kate. The musical, based on William Shakespeare’s The Taming of the Shrew,.concerns a gro:;p o f actors whose personal lives influence the play they are producing, which happens to be The Taming o f the Shrew. Auditions, held in early September, produced an outstanding and large, cast. (Nearly one hundred people tried out, from Prep and from nearby girls’ schools.) Dan Murphy and Anna Nubia captured the lead roles, playing Fred Graham/Petruchio and Lilli Vanessi/Kate respectively. Francis Guitienez played Bill Oilhour./Lucentio, and Becky Lobleski had the part r fL o is Lane/Bianca! The musical would not have been a success without the extraordinary piano accompaniment o f Tom Hoetzl. After eleven weeks o f hard work, under the leadership o f director Jack Campion, vocal director Julie Miller, and band director Bob Garcia, the show opened. Everyone, case, stage crew, and band, worked together to make for a wonderful show. The other activity which deals with public performance is Forensics. The Forensics team is one of the more popular and more successful in the school. Through Forensics, students leam to be relaxed and confident with public speaking. They compete in various categories, including drama and duo interpretation o f literature. There are also two categories which deal with public debating: Lincoln Douglas Debates and Student Congress. Team coach Jim DeAngelo provided inspiration for the group, which often found itself at school until long after sunset. Captains Ryan Prendergast and Francis Gutierrez led the team to an impressive standing in the Newark Catholic Forensics League. Lawrence Benn, Randy Bruno, and Andisheh Mahdavi also played key roles for the team. Assigned with the tough job of compensating for the loss of senior members next season will be juniors Joseph Bay and Albert Reyes.

PUBLICATIONS This year, three major publications allowed students to express themselves to the Prep community and beyond. By wnting, drawing, or taking pictures, Prep students manifested the .creativity and emotion which lay within themhowever, these publications required more than a burst o f creativity. The staffs o f these publications were faced with the more tedious and time-consuming task o f harnessing this creativity (or providing it), organizing it onto attractive pages, meeting deadlines, and distributing publications. Through the efforts of these staffs, the memories, feeling, and events experienced here at Prep were immortalized in words and pictures, and the common thoughts and fears of people everywhere were expressed on the pages of Prep publications. The numerous changes in staff and equipment last year ushered the Petroc staff into a new era. This year, the same staff returned with a year of experience and growth behind them. Because o f their familiarity with newspaper production, this yea^s staff was able to pick up where they left off during the previous year. Moderated by Mr. Sean Boyan, the Petroc staff produced a newspaper of higher quality and released more issues than in years past. The editorial staff o f this year’s paper was composed entirely o f juniors, promising the same high quality in next year’s publications. The Editors-in-Chief were Andrew Bondarowicz and Mohammad Ibrahim; the Assistant Editor was Daniel Palumbo; and Genard Carroll was the Photography Editor. These four organized the staff, designed the layouts, and wrote many articles themselves. Other key contributors included top w riter Gero Madrid and George Holinka. Their articles and editorials made the Prep community more aware o f events both within and beyond the school's walls and expressed the thoughts and feelings shared by many people here at Prep. The Petroc cartoonists Joe Bay III and Ernie Alfaro provided humor to the Prep community in each issue. Throughout the year, the Petroc staff managed to capture the day’s emotions and events and share them with the community in each issue. This year also brought the reorganization of Prep’s literary magazine, the Paper and Pen. Under the new moderation of Father Enrico Raulli and Mrs. Kathy Moore, the Paper and Pen began a writing workshop. In this; system, the students criticized each other’s works, making the magazine better and improving their own skills. The magazine also contained the artwork of several Prep students. Through their words and pictures, Prep students expressed their inner emotions and thoughts, journeying to distant times and places and exploring their own minds. While Petroc reported events and experiences on a regular basis, and while the creativity and emotions o f Prep students were expressed a few times throughout the year, the Petrean was assigned with the arduous task of summarizing the accomplishments and events of the entire year (even through the book was finished before the year was). Countless hours were spent in H103 designing pages, gathering photographs, writing copy, and hoping that the plant would extend the next deadline (or the previous one). The staff set out to produce a unique and well-designed book that was more representative o f the entire school, and after a year of long nights and many Telly’s pizzas, the staff had completed such a publication. The year was marked by several new editions to the staff, including the new mascot “The Camiverous Canine” and its mystery keeper. The book could not have been completed without the hard work and dedication of moderator Susan Baber and editors-in-chief Luis Ayala and Hugh Roarty. The entire editorial staff sacrificed many hours and much sleep for a successful yearbook, and these efforts have culminated in another edition o f the Petrean, which holds the memories and dreams o f this year.

STATE FOOTBALL CHAMPIONS

FO O TBA LL

This year’s Prep football team was plagued by the loss of several statechampionship superstars. To fill this void, new leaders stepped forward to guide the team. Team captains Ante Benzija and Orville Gonzalez dominat ed the line of scrimmage, earning First Team All-County honors. Benzija was also selected to the Associated Press All-State Team. Other key players in cluded Dom DellaFave, John Sakowski, Mark DeCastro, and Albie Nieves, all of whom were selected to the Second Team All County. Although the year was not as statis tically successful as those in the recent past, the season was not without its highlights. The best of these was Prep’s opening game thrashing (51-6) of Hudson Catholic, who yet again could not offer a challenge; in fact, this was the highest score that Prep had ever tallied while holding the Hawks to only six points. Besides the individual achievements of the team’s leaders, the group itself grew as a unit. This year saw a young Prep team take the field, but it saw a more mature, more capable team step off the field at the end of the season. What was once un refined talent has now become a stron ger and more experienced team that will certainly be a contender in the future. More important than statistical suc cess is the personal satisfaction de rived from knowing that you have done your best. The Prep Football Team is certainly entitled to this pride, for they worked incessantly, not only during the season but also in the cold winter months and in the intolerable heat of summer. Despite their record, the Prep Team was recognized by all for their team spirit and their unyield ing effort, which became evident in the many close games with county powers in which Prep was involved. Continu ing the Prep tradition of enduring in the face of hardships was the most important contribution that the Prep Football Team could, and did, make.

SO C CER

Another fine soccer season brought yet another city championship. Victo ry was especially sweet this year for Mr. John Irvine, newcomer to the role of varsity soccer coach. Assisted by Joe Fitzpatrick, Peter Serra, and Carl “Duke” Hamill, Irvine, who gained five years of experience on the Junior Varsity level, surpassed his goal of a .500 record by leading the team to eleven wins, seven losses, and two ties. The team members performed as impressively as their new coach did. Several outstanding players received prestigious awards. Seniors Mike Fromfield, Rob Cosenza, and Corrado DeCandia were presented with City, Conference, and County First Team Honors; furthermore, all three Prepsters received state recognition. Also, senior Dennis Granelli, junior Anthony Iaccoca, and sophomore Anthony Novello earned Second Tearn Honors. In addition, the Jersey City Coaches As sociation bestowed several titles upon the senior standouts. Mike Fromfield was named Midfielder of the Year; Forward of the Year was awarded to Corrado DeCandia. Key players also included juniors Brian McCabe, and Pat Healey; sophomore sluggers Paul Massache, Mark Trojan, Jared Costanzo, and Ed Finn provided the team with additional strength. Indeed, a characteristic Prep spirit and dedication certainly existed be tween the players and their coach. Such hard work resulted in an excel lent season. Congratulations to the 1990 Soccer’Team.

Despite a slow start, the Prep basketball team had a fine season, reaching both the county and state playoffs. Under the guidance of Head Coach Dave Settemore and assistants Bill Herenda and John Burke, the players improved their skills and grew together as a team. The squad was led by captain Mike Egan, who provided authority as well as strong performances, aver aging 12 points per game. Junior Jack Gordon was among the finest players in the county, lending his versatility and talent to the squad and finishing among the county’s top scorers. Other key players were seniors Andy Danilchick, Mi guel Sierra, and Keith Adams, who added strength and persistence to the team. These three players dominated the backboards and pro vided senior leadership for the younger players. Sophomores Co lin Rigby, Tom Weiermann, and Ed Finn moved up to the varsity team this season, providing added depth and security to the upperclassmen starters. The first half of the season was a struggle for the team; nonetheless, there were many important early victories for Prep during that peri od. In the first weeks, Prep success fully defended its Jesuit Classic ti tle, defeating Canisius in a thriller 72-71, victory and demolishing Xa vier (72-57) for the championship. Jack Gordon was named the Tour nament MVP, while Egan and Dan ilchick were selected to the AllTournament Team. Other impor tant early wins were victories over Bayonne at home, arid a 51-50 win over St. Mary’s at Homecoming. As the second half of the season be gan, the Prep team found the key to success, registering an amazing run. The squad won ten of eleven games near the season’s end, im proving the team’s record and qualifying the Prep for both the state and county playoffs. This run comprised many impressive victo ries, including a come-from-behind win over North Bergen (56-55) to assure a state playoff spot for Prep. Other big games were a revenge victory over Dickinson and a dou ble overtime victory over Bayonne. The players’ unceasing dedication pulled the team through the tough defeats and eventually brought a stream of victories to Prep.

Men For Others The P rep Spirit A w ard was cre ated to honor those m en who have selflessly given their tim e, energy, and enthusiasm to the P rep com m unity. D eem ed as one of the highest aw ards that can be bestow ed upon a P rep student, this aw ard can only be won once during a stu d e n t’s ca reer. Each m arking period, a handful of such outstanding stu dents are thanked by the P rep com m unity for their contribu tions to the school. T hese recipi ents fill the school’s atm o sp h ere with their enthusiasm , giving 1 0 0 % in the classroom , on the field, and in the cafeteria. Q uiet ly, these students achieve great things; m ore im portant than these achievem ents, though, are the daily su p p o rt th at th ese m en provide to the P re p family, aid ing their classm ates and continu ing the Jesuit tradition of being “ Men For O th e rs.”

The Prep hockey team dispelled all critic’s preseason doubts with their hard work and diligence. This year, Prep transferred from the American Conference A to the tougher National Conference B. They were expected to finish at the bottom of this competitive division before they ever set foot on the ice, and these predictions seemed to be on their way to actualization. The team had a rough start, winning only two of their first ten games. Nev ertheless, the team never gave up, and the players pulled together to turn the season around. Prep soon saw a streak of five consecutive wins, a streak which propelled the team into both the State and Gordon Cup Playoffs. The Prep posted victories over Indian Hills, Bergen Catholic, and Brick Me morial. Two important games were the pair of wins over Don Bosco, which qualified Prep for the Gordon Cup Playoffs. The Prep icemen also fought hard against St. Joe’s Montvale, providing competitive opposition to a team that was ranked first in the state. Over the holidays, the Prep team again showed its dominance over Hudson County teams as it won the Bayonne Christmas Tourney for the fourth year in a row. In the tourna ment, the Prep team went undefeated, crushing Marist in the championship game with a 12-2 win. The team was coached by Mr. Ken Such, whose knowledge and exper ience with the sport guided the team through the rough start and the suc cessful finish. Leading the team were senior captains Pete Gannon at right wing and Jason Andreula at center. With their enthusiasm and their fine performance^, this pair pushed the team to success. Backing high scorer Jason Andreula at center was Rob Corbett, while Mike Dargan and Jay Swineford played at the wing positions with Gannon. Steve Brown and Bobby Brack headed the defense, and sopho more Brad Cicala consistently played impressively as the Prep goalie. This year’s team consisted of many rookies who will have to step forward into leadership roles as this season’s sen iors move on.

Swimming

The Prep swim team continued its domination of Hudson County compe tition this year, again winning all the major local meets. The team finished undefeated in the county, posting wins over St. Joe’s and Bayonne, and beat ing Hudson Catholic by nearly one hundred points. The team again won the Bayonne Bees Classic, as well as successfully defending its City and County titles. In all three meets, the team wiped out all competition and virtually owned the winners’ platform. In outside competition, the.team also fared well, finishing fourth in the State Sectionals. Other meets included a vic tory over a strong Montclair team and a narrow loss to St. Benedict’s, a meet in which every Prep swimmer posted his best times. Prep’s most successful team was again coached by Mrs. Mary Beth Bry ant, who led the Prep swimmers through another year of victories. The senior captains Jeff Bryant, Loren Hart, Sean Adams, and Alberto DeArmas provided leadership for the team, dominating their events and sharing their experience and guidance with the younger swimmers. Jeff Bryant con trolled the 200 IM and the 500 free; Sean Adams had his best perfor mances in the IM and the Breast Stroke; and Loren Hart and Albert DeArmas combined to take top posi tions in the freestyle events. Junior Jeff Enright had the best individual performances, no only dominating the 50 and 100 free in local competition but also qualifying for the State Finals with a State Sectional win in the 100 free and a second place finish in the 50 free. The Prep divers also recorded impressive performances, with seniors Joe Kist and Andy Szymczyk upset ting all competition to finish first and second in the State Sectionals, respec tively.

W restling This year’s Varsity Wrestling team saw many new faces fill the voids left by last year’s squad. Sonny Grieco, who was previously an assistant coach, was named the new head coach of the Prep team. His coaching staff was composed of new men as well. Keith Kelly, John Gonzo and John Reidel all joined the Prep wrestling team this year, helping Coach Grieco to orga nize and condition the wrestlers. The team’s ranks were also filled by sever al new members,who provided many crucial wins throughout the season. Freshmen Bill Tierney and A.J. Mon aco and sophomore Tony Priore were important new additions to the pro gram. These new coaches and wres tlers all adjusted quickly to the high level of the area’s competition, making important contributions early in their Prep careers. Amid the new additions to the pro gram were several returning members, whose experience gave instruction and inspiration to the younger wrestlers. Leading the team were captains Gene Pompilio and Mike Zadroga, who guid ed the team by their outstanding per formances and their ceaseless efforts. These captains led the team in prac tice and in matches, helping other members to improve their skills and gain confidence. Gene Manlongat, A1 Bautista, Chris Stefanakis, Bryan Hawkes and Frank Koszyk all re turned to the varsity squad this year, bringing with them the skill and exper ience which they had acquired in past years. This season proved to be a difficult one for the Prep wrestling team, which was devastated by the injury of cap tain Gene Pompilio midway through the year. Despite the loss, the team did post several impressive wins. One important victory was a win over Xavi er, 42-20, with crucial matches won by Billy Tierney, Mike Zadroga and Frank Koszyk. Perhaps the most impressive victory, though, came against Essex Catholic. The Prep team defeated Es sex Catholic by a score 36-35 paced by the key wins of Koszyk, Zadroga and Hawkes, and pushed over the top by Billy Tierney. The many individual victories of this year’s juniors, sopho mores and freshmen foreshadowed the great success awaiting future Prep wrestling squads.

Each winter, Prep bowlers qui etly travel to alleys around the county and let their bowling balls make the noise. Once again this year, Prep bowling balls made more noise than any voices could. The Prep Keglers recorded another outstanding season, finishing among the top teams in the county. The team rolled impressively past Dickinson and Ferris, and it won a crucial match against county pow erhouse Hudson Catholic. The Prep team’s schedule was not lim ited to county matches, though. The team traveled abroad, record ing outstanding performances in the Central Jersey Tournament and the Summit Tournament. Once again, the team was coached by Mr. Robert Zawistowski, whose dedication and humor contributed to the success and enjoyment of the players. Teafn captain Randy “The Mon ster” Aldea led the team to victory, posting consistently high scores and pushing his teammates to strive for their personal best. Cru cial bowlers for the team were Jimmy “The Fly” Hitchell, Louis “Little Bear” Ramos, Chris “Super Frosh” Flores, and Justin “Rocky” Sebik. The hard work and quiet diligence of the Prep bowlers helped this year’s team to achieve success, and more accomplish ments are certainly to be expected as the young arms of this season’s team continue to mature in future

The W orld A round Us “ A new world order y that is what it is all about. The idea that somehow the nations of the earth will take it upon themselves to forge a more productive, a more secure, a more just way of governing their existence, that is the reason why the United States, along with the rest of the alliance, has partaken in the terth\war of its history. Recalling the days of W oodrow Wilson and Harry Truman, George Bush has set his sights on overseeing the redefining of the world as we know it, shaping a Pax Americana the world over. Despite assurances to the con trary, the dawning of this new era started just as so many had before it — on the battlefields of war. With his invasion of Kuwait on August 2, 1990, Saddam Hussein set into motion a string of events which saw the quickest deployment of forces in the history of the world and the largest contingent of American soldiers assembled since Vietnam. The United Nations finally began func tioning as the international watchdog it was in tended to be, passing 12 Security Council reso lutions pertaining to the conflict. The vast ma jority of the world community stood as one, as Iraq was confronted with economic and political isolation by the United Nations and a military force consisting of representatives of 28 differ ent nations under the auspices of the agency. Regardless of one’s views of the conflict’s legiti macy, it was clear from the beginning that, in the words of President Bush, “ this aggression will not stand.’*

Bush nearly impossible to defeat. All of this considered, the past year was one of transition: from the Cold W ar tempo to a new world order that still has not fully materialized; from a healthy economy to a recession back, if the optimism of the stock market is to be be lieved, to a healthy one; from the polluters of yesterday to the reformers of today; and from the bombs, bullets, and blood of yesterday to the peace of today — even if the familiar bombs, bullets, and blood were still there in the beginning.

Despite the near monopoly that the war had in the news, there were plenty of other things that were happening in the world. Germany was reunited, as was Yemen, albeit to much less hoopla. The dismantling of apartheid in South Africa continued, as Nelson Mandela went from suffering under the chains of oppression in a South African jail to triumphing under the rain of ticker tape as he rode up Broadway. In the Soviet Union, the new ways of glasnost made way for the old ways of the Cold War, with Russian tanks once again quelling a revolution in the making, this time in the Baltic republics. John Major replaced Margaret Thatcher in Bri tain, ending the “ Iron Lady’s” reign as the long est serving British Prime Minister of this century.

The Cross Country team had anothe great season. After the bulk of the team trained and conditioned themselves at the summer track camp, the team went on to a successful season by winning the City Championship and the South Hudson Championship. The team was replete with talent this year. Senior co-captains Jim Salmon and Chris Russo led the way, while seniors Bobby Salmon and Jason Gers provided surprise performances which really helped the team. The juniors also made a strong showing, paced by Will Christman, Kenny Dunn and Jona than Sander. The sophomores proved themselves to be valuable assets, with Hyun Kim, John McGuire, and T.J. Sullivan registering stellar performances. Like the Cross-Country Team, the in door team had a successful season under the guidance of Head Coach Mike Bur gess, who was assisted by two new mem bers to the track program: Kathy Salmon, daughter of Coach Salmon and sister of Bobby and Jimmy; and Father Joyce, the new leader of the field team. The team made an impressive showing in each meet, paced by the consistency of the veteran runners. Distance runners Jim Salmon and Chris Russo headed the pack in theionger events, using their experi ence and years of conditioning to push the Prep team ahead. The sprints were dominated by Lmani Viney, Steve Bijelic, and Dave Charowsky, while Rob Acha, Bobby Salmon, and Romeo Macalintal led the hurdle events. Juniors John Applegate, John Aslanian, and Matt Fleming powered the field team, contrib uting crucial points to the team’s overall scores. The Outdoor Team also posted a suc cessful season, continuing the Prep track program’s tradition of excellence. The team was again led by head coach Mike Burgess and assistants Kathy Salmon and Father James Joyce. The team finished strongly in all events, under the leadership of the experienced and conditioned up perclassmen. Jim Salmon, Chris Russo, Will “Chuck” Christman, and John McGuire paced the distance runners, combining speed and endurance to domi nate the longer events. Steve Bijelic, Lmani Viney, and John Yacat showed their explosive speed in the sprints, while Hugh Roarty, Rob Acha, Bobby Salmon, and Romeo Macalintal controlled the hur dle events. The field team was powered by John Applegate, Matt Fleming, and John Aslanian, whos sheer strength pushed the team ahead.

The varsity baseball team again had a fine season, placing among the top teams in Hudson County. The team’s county schedule pitted Prep against such formi dable opponents as Hoboken, Memorial, and Bayonne. The team even had to face the arm of Danny Ortiz, Hoboken’s AllState pitcher. Despite this tough opposi tion, the Prep team had a strong record, losing a few, winning many more, and learning important lessons along the way. This team dedicated this year’s season to Jeff Kachel, whose struggle against Hodgkin’s disease inspired all who knew him. The great energy and dedication of this year’s team comprised a fitting tribute to the player and person who touched the Prep community. Coach Urbanowicz and Coach Harris guided the team perfecting the skills and timing of the players each day in practice. Leadership and team spirit were provided by seniors Mike Gomez and Joe Calderone, whose play and enthusiasm lifted the team during its lowest moments. The team had a solid battery, with senior Dom DellaFave catching for junior pitch ers Bill Zabotka and Kevin McCauliffe. Other key players were Mike Zadroga in left field, Dan Burgers at shortstop, and Steve Garguilo at third base. This solid team won many games, as well as a handful of individual honors in both the division and the county.

One of the most consistently successful teams in Prep, the tennis team was once again a dominant force in Hudson County. In county competition, Prep faced tough competition from Emerson and Hudson Catholic. In independent matches and in state competition, the team faced such formidable opponents as Seton Hall Prep and St. Joe’s Montvale. Regardless of the opposition, the Prep team made strong showings at its home in Lincoln Park or abroad, at courts round the county and the state. St. Peter’s sat atop the county rankings, again proving the success of this year’s team and of the Prep tennis program as a whole. Despite the loss of four of last year’s starters, this year’s team filled the Void with strong leaders and talented players. The team was once again led by the guidance of “The Chief,” Pete McNamara. Senior Captains Tim Connelly and Dan Murphy pushed the team to its full potential, both in and out of season. Their strong words of leader ship. and constructive criticism were backed by their spectacular play in singles slots, winning them the full respect and attention of the team members. Sopho more Nick Caradonna held the first sin gles position throughout the year, provid ing crucial victories and inspiration to the team. The doubles spots were filled by juniors Ryan Kearny, Gero Madrid, and David Jackman, and Sophomore Pete Figueredo, while juniors Andy Bondarowicz and Jay Norrett filled in at crucial times during the year. Although tennis seems to be a naturally individualistic sport, this year’s team was strongly bonded by the leadership of the team captains. Confined to practicing on only a few courts at Lincoln Park, the team overcame such limits with their spirit and their enthusiasm. This relatively young team showed much promise for future years, with the majority of the team returning for yet another successful sea son next year.

The 1990 St. Peter’s Prep frosh football team earned its place in Prep history with its hard work and dedication. The Prep freshmen captured the Hudson County Championship and finished their season with an undefeated record. Their explosive offense amassed a total of 180 points, while their tenacious defense allowed only twenty points, posting six shutouts. The team was lead by Coach Sweeney and Assistant Coaches Anthony Crisalli, Sean Verdi, and Chris Monacco. Also guiding the Prep frosh were last year’s championship players, coaches Paul “Prime Time” Mulcahy and Jimmy Francesco. Prep’s frosh offense was led by halfback Billy Tierney. He rushed for thirteen touchdowns and 1230 yards, making him the leading rusher in Prep history. The defense was led by John Antman, who had over one hundred tackles. Another key player was William “Rocky” Halsey, the team’s kicker. A team of such talented players will only bring more championships to Prep as it continues to develop and mature in future years.

JV WRESTLING

Although it must remain in the shadow o f the varsity team, the J.V. wrestling team met with greater success than their varsity counterpart. In team competition, the J.V. wrestlers posted many victories. They stunned North Bergen, upsetting the Junior Varsity contingent o f that fine wrestling program. Prep wrestlers also shut out John F. Kennedy, recording a rare perfect victoiy. Much o f the team’s success could be attributed to their ties with the Prep varsity team. The J.V.

The Prep J.V. team was coached by John Riedel and Keith Kelly, two new faces to the Prep wrestling program. They guided the young wrestlers to victoiy and helped the wrestlers develop the skills necessary for future matches at the varsity level. Several wrestlers were new to the team this year, including key members Luke Tuthill and Joe Petrecca. There were also many returning members who shared their experience and their more refined skills with the younger wrestlers. These veteran wrestlers participated in

many varsity matches as well, enhancing theil. wrestling abilities. Among the returning merrj bers were Joseph Hoetzl, Steve Tortorello, and Amro Mohommed.

J.V. BASKETBALL | The Junior Varsity basketball team had a fine E season, again surpassing the expectations o f § critics around the county. The season was | marked by victories over several county powers, S Prep beat Hoboken twice, and it defeated a - tough Dickinson squad at Dickinson’s home I court. Another memorable game was Prep’s I seventeen point victory over Memorial. The i Prep team was not confined to the county i league, moving abroad to challenge G ood ! Counsel and St. Joe’s Metuchen.

Mr. Anthony Crisalli, in his second year as J.V. coach, guided the team to victory and inspired his players to give all that they could give. Early in the season the team sat atop the county rankings, propelled by the play o f Ed Finn, Colin Rigby, and Tom Weierman. Due to injuries on the varsity team, the trio was called to play at the higher level. In their absence, Dennis Egan, Anthony Novello, Chris Andreadis, and Craig Adams stepped forward to assume the roles of leadership. Egan provided the emotional leader-

ship for the team, and these four players consistently gave strong performances to place the Prep team. The team was well-balanced, and each member contributed all of his talent and spirit not only in every game, but also in each practice. The hard work and dedication of this team brought success this year, and as these players mature, their efforts will undoubtedly bring future victories,

Mission Madness The Mission Drive ex perienced a new addition to its family of fundraising events this year. The JelloPudding wrestling Matches became the newest of the major events to raise rev enue to aid the Jesuit mis sions in such locations as Micronesia and A frica. Jello Pudding Wrestling joined Bowlamania 111, the Mission Dance and Dress Down Day as the school wide events which donat ed large sums o f money to the missions, while provid ing entertainment for the Prep community. On the night of Febru ary 15, over 600 people gathered in the Prep Gym nasium to witness Jello Pudding Wrestling. Par ents and students from all over watched referee Speedy Gon zales step into the ring, sample pud ding and declare it valid for wres tling. The lights went out, and the wrestling began. The first match to take place was that o f Boris Talanczuk and Matt Mohlman vs. Ante Benzija and Ken Paglio, the latter of whom em erged victorious, the “ Moon Dogs” (Shane Hurd and Marc Gigante) vs. “ Pain” (John Antman and Paul Metzinger) followed; once again, the second pair was the victor. The third match featured a last min ute substitution o f Jerem y Pugh for Damian Ryan, Despite this group’s valiant effort, they fell to “ Coalition” (Mike Zadroga and Joe Militello). The next match was that between Joe Kist and Tulio Quinones and the pair o f Jaimie St. Marie and Jeremy Bowen. A fter a hard fought battle, the crowd chose St. Marie and Bowen as their champions. In the fifth match, the “ Pudding Pounders” (Paul D eG eorge and Jerry Healy) de feated the “ Beasts” (Thomas Law rence and Alan Gawronski). In a high ly disputed encounter between the Madmen (Matt Conway and Dennis Granelli) and “ H eartbreak” (Ed

Black and John Barnes), Speedy was forced to intervene and disqualify both teams because o f unsportsman like conduct. Next, the “ Icemen” (Frank Betkowski and Nick Mangelli) battled the “ Blades” (Rob Brack and Rob Corbett). In the midst o f flying pudding as well as flying bodies, “ T h e Icem en ” clobbered “ T h e Blades. It was “ D oom ” (Tom Egar and Bill Halsey) who truly dominated the “ Demon Stalkers” (Jude Cama cho and Sam Cervantes) in the eighth match. The next to last match fea tured a classic encounter between Juniors and Seniors. Kevin “ the H orse” McAuliffe and Jim Martin fell to P ete Gannon and Kevin Lawless. The biggest battle o f all was shat tered, when Rich Hansen was unable to wrestle. In response to Ken Such’s plea for a substitute partner, A1 A l varado dove into the pudding. The veterans defeated novices Mike Go mez and Dom Della Fave. Managers also engaged in their own matches outside the ring, sliding around in the pudding on the floor. The entire spectacle was good fun for all, and profitable for the missions.

It has been an interesting year. Every yearbook has its own unique Identity, which is brought forth by the particular events which make that year memorable. Hopefully the moments captured between these two covers have awakened the feelings experienced by mul titudes o f friends and acquaintances throughout this past year. The history embodied on these pages represents the Prep as seen through the eyes o f its students. However, this could never have been accomplished If It had not been for a handful o f people. If It had not been for the people listed on these two pages, there would not be a 1991 Petrean. However, certain "N on staffers" contributed greatly to the production o f this book. If It were not for the help o f people like Fr. Joyce, Fr. Denny and Mr. Reiser there would.be blank pages In this publication. It was their knowledge o f Jesuit history that made the “ Ignatlon Year” pages possible and a success. W e also would like to thank “ our friends at OPI.” It was Ms. Picone and Mr. Horan who provided some last minute photos and sports schedules to com plete the otherwise barren sheets. Photos, which are the main ingredients o f a good yearbook, could not have been acquired if it were nor for the work o f Davis Studios, developing our film (and the UPS trucks that deliv ered them). Other pictures were received through the kind-, ness o f Blake and Nancy K elley; we are grateful for their hockey shots. Former Prepsters also helped make this Petrean a success. Many thanks to Ralph Pantozzl, Class o f ‘88 and now editor of Rutgers’ Scarlet Letter, who managed to acquire old pictures o f friends o f the school, who are now pursuing other things. W e also thank Mr. Frank Betkowski, Class o f ‘86 and now Latin teacher extraordinaire, whose never ending supply of food and encouraging words kept the staff eager to get the job done. O f course there is our German speaking friend; Mr. Jim DeAngelo was there for moral support at all hours o f the day and night, whether It was four In the afternoon or one in the morning. W e would hear him “ laugh” and we knew we had to work harder and quicker before the Prep grad o f ‘85 sang his German melodies. More encouragement and m otiva tion came about by way o f Fr. Denny, and Fr. Azzarto. Their visits and nourishments kept the staff working through the crisis o f the day. Aside from all the people that helped the staff, we can not forget the ones who truly made this year book become a reality. Ernie, Joe, Hunter, Mike, and Dave gave o f their tim e and skills. And Dan was there to save the day when the rest o f us were swamped with excess work. Their never ending work proved priceless as deadlines grew nearer. Despite their feverish work, laughs were not hard to com e by, whether It was Hunters’ “ Hun-Run” to the car at night or Ernie’s demented “ K-9” cartoons. Our hopes were intact, despite the fact that Joe tried to ruin the book by leaving his entire section on the P A T H train one winter morning. And although Dave “ Adalwahlpa” Jackman tried to scare him, Ahdy Murro, our Jostens rep, guided us through the tough times; for this we are grateful. Luckily, though, all worked out well and you are able to read this fabulous book. Finally we would like to thank someone, who made this book as good as it is. She gave her tim e and we took her patience and tolerance. Unlike same people she stuck it through and m otivated us to do our best and make this our book. W e would like to thank our dedicated moderator. Miss Susan Baber, without whom we would not have gotten past page 1. W e hope you enjoyed this yearbook, and we hope you will enjoy it from now until the day St. P e te r’s Prep and its memory ceases to exist. Sincerely, Luis Ayala & Hugh Roarty Editors-in-chlef

IN MEMORIAMl Countless faces have passed through the halls o f S t Peter’s Preparatory School. Som e have been forgot ten. Others will be long-rem em bered. M ost have left their mark on the school. One such soul was that o f William Cheng. H e was the first o f the Class o f ’91 to pass on. A graduate o f St. P eter’s Grammar School and H AP, William entered Prep with the Class o f ’91. Like any other incom ing freshman, he was excited at the pros p ect o f starting anew. H e was full o f hopes, anxieties and goals, with a desire to be part o f the “Prep Family.” H e toiled over homework and tests like most. H e was a regular frosh with one exception — he had leukemia. Few people at Prep knew o f his condition, or if they did, the severity o f it. William’s condition, at first, seem ed manageable. H e was well enough to begin high school, but slowly his disease worsened. How ever, this did not affect his spirit. H e wanted to do well at Prep. Although he was not able to participate in many activities, he did try to be part o f the Prep community. Since he had to m iss a num ber o f school days, few knew him well, but he was approachable and friendly to those who did know him, always ready to share a warm smile. The Prep community tried to help him and his family, giving blood, m oral support and love. William died when the rest o f his classmates were participating in Freshman Days o f Recollection. The entire class waspresent at his funeral mass. The sense o f loss was real. Although William’s tim e at Prep was short, he con tributed to his class in a very real way. H e knew how to have a friend and be a friend. H is courage and spirit were examples to us all; he touched our minds and our hearts. A s we graduate, we rem em ber William and pray fo r the sou l o f our classm ate and friend. Reguiescat in pace.
