THE JOURNEY rep is a journey. N ot ju st physically walk ing from this building to that, but, in some profound way, Prep is a chance to look at our lives from a new perspective. It goes beyond the elements of departure and destination; it is more than a means to an end. It is the ability to appreciate things for their own sake; it is the act of breaking through the mind set which only asks, “ W here is this going to get m e?” It is a chance to experience the world in a new way. Any journey m arks some sort of movement: it is a living history of where a person has been, where a person is, and where th at person might go. It links him to his past and directs him to his future. Everything is affected by everything else. Prep is a chance to see this and m ake the connections. I t’s seeing th at studying for a Bio test is not so different from working on the gridiron . . . Seeing those connections is p art of the undefinable spirit th at makes Prep so spe cial. The journey is about learning how the whole Prep experience is a p art of something much greater. Realizing this is an act of discovery; it’s learning something from each moment and seeing the presence of God in the world around us. W ith this discovery, our boundaries are pushed back further. A person is forced to see th a t there is a rev elation on the horizon, th at real growth involves a willingness to move beyond w hat we already know. Prep allows a person to see th at there is a world of thoughts and feelings never known . . . until now. It forces us to reach deeper, to open ourselves to the first-hand experience of learning. It is this first hand experience th at is so im portant. The m id-term s th at go on forever, the

Emmaus Homecoming, the first loss of the sea son — all are chances to be a part of the Prep experience. It is getting in touch with what seems to be beyond us that allows us to grow. It is the hope that this growth, this journey never ends. Prep is much more than the way to the end. It is process vs. perfection. You don’t have to be the best at something as long as you’ve tried; it’s realizing th at the practices, in some ways, are more im portant than the games. Likewise, the diplomas given out at graduation are noth ing compared to the experience of four years spent here; learning, laughing, growing . . . all embody the dynamism of being on the road, always walking in the process. The goal of the journey is the journey itself. But the journey is something different for each person; the twists and turns along your path make you different; they make you who you are. It is an experience in diversity. Each person develops from the choices made, each choice involving some risk. It requires a sense of belief in yourself. It’s having the courage to take the risks, and letting your own heart be your guide. Prep is learning th at you don’t have to dress like everyone else, you don’t have to think like everyone else . . . you don’t have to conform. It’s taking a step into the unknown, because
you’ve decided to believe in yourself, to trust your guide. And th a t’s hard. It’s something you do not do by yourself. It is the community that empowers the individual. The community is that deeper spirit from which each of us draws some sort of inspiration. In the end, it is the com munity th at defines the individual, and the in dividuals who define the community. Prep is a point in the journey where nearly a thousand paths meet; it is a crossroads where each person can uniquely affect the others. It is a community where people can give of them selves and be open to receiving others. It is dedicating ourselves to the service of others. It is selfless action for the greater good. Prep is community and learning from each other. It is brotherhood and a sense of belong ing. Prep is people walking down the road in unity for a few years. It is the subtle spirit of a shared experience that connects us all. Prep is a journey!
PEOPLE “ 77*e journey” is a concept that comes to life through the people who come here; we embody a certain dy namism, th at sense of things always evolving. The place becomes empty, s ta tic w ith o u t us. E ach p erso n changes the school in some way; each person is changed in some way by being here. Each person has a chance to find himself, to realize his poten tial, to foster real change. P art of the journey is knowing there’s a chance for each person to affect the com m u n ity in som e re a l w ay. P re p wouldn’t be Prep if everyone didn’t contribute something. We have all these chances; our journey is making the most of them.

ACTIVITIES & SPORTS It is hum an n atu re to seek the com pany of others; every traveler seeks friends along his journey. The presence of others has a profound ef fect on th e course one takes; the planned route may be changed en tirely or it may become more famil iar and easy. However, the journey is not made alone; everyone benefits and grows from the relationships de veloped as he moves further down the road. There are over forty sports and ac tivities at Prep, all of which help fos ter these relationships allowing each student to pursue his own interests. These co-curricular activities help define each student by experiencing him to challenges and the individuals that cannot affect him in the class room.

T h e a m o u n t of money raised throu gh the W a lk -a-th o n totaled nearly $17,000, almost the a m o u n t raised in 1992.

SPIRIT COMMITTEE n a norm al afternoon at Prep, the usual com motion of a school day would give way to tranqu il quiet in the hallways. T w o or th ree stu dents could be seen run ning from floor to floor a r m e d with m asking ta p e an d fliers; this was only p a rt of the tireless work of the Spirit C om m ittee. T h e artw o rk of J u d e C a m a ch o , David Fallon, Justin Jaucian, M ik e Lapinski, A n Le, Joe Pierre, Justin S kripak, and N ic k W ong provided the signs posted aro u n d the school and the banners which decorated th e cafeteria, including the spectacu lar “ Best of Both W o rld s” b an n e r which adorned th e W a r re n S tre e t facade of the English Building. C o-m od erators M r. F ra n k Betkowski and Ms. Je a n n e S canlan, along with president Dennis E gan, helped to coordinate the efforts of the m a n y people involved with Spirit Com m ittee. Besides m a king fliers an d banners, they were also responsible for organizing th e pep rallies held a t the s ta rt of each season; slogans for this y e a r’s rallies included Smells Like P rep Spirit, R e b irth of Prep S pirit, an d Beef Stu. P erhaps th e most visible p a r t of the Spirit C o m m ittee is e m bodied in th e M aroon M a r a u d e r an d his two henchm en. This year, S tu C lu tte rb u c k was “ an o in te d ” M a r a u d e r for the winter season to replace Colin Rigby; T .J. Sullivan and Ju d e C a m a c h o rem ained the h enchm en throughout. T ogether, they led the school in cheers a t th e rallies, an d the P rep contingent at various sporting events. D urin g th e football season, they also took p a r t in the Prep C a ra v an — th e first one organized in recent years. T h e work of the Spirit C o m m ittee was evident in almost every facet of P re p life: from C o c h ra n e field to H ogan hall. N o t only did they inspire the athletes, b u t also the rest of the student body.

PETROC For several reasons, this year was a new beginning for The Petroc. W ith a new m oderator, M r. Jam es DeAngelo, and a new
group o f editors, The P etro c sta ff decided to change its form at while m aintaining the standards th a t had guided it in the past. For the first tim e, P rep’s new spaper used an in-house desktop publishing form at, allowing layouts to be com pleted a t P rep be fore being sent out. T his form at reduced th e production cost from about 90£ to 14£ per issue which increased the num ber of issues published during the school year. From the beginning of the year, the them e for The P etro c was “ relevance.” T h e new spaper sta ff strove to cover topics directly related to the school; by aim ing for relevance, they hoped to produce a new spaper to which P rep’s students could relate more easily. It was occasionally necessary to incorporate ideas not directly within the P rep sphere, b ut in general, th e newspaper was a m anifestation of P rep life. T h e sta ff felt th a t it could take a few risks w ithout sacrificing th e integrity of the paper. S uch touchy topics as locker room th eft and “ dipping” w ere addressed in a p ro /co n form at. S taffers felt it was necessary to deal w ith such issues which directly related to the students and affected their lives. T his presentation of both sides o f th e topic gave readers a balanced assessm ent of the issues and prevented readers from feeling th a t viewpoints w ere being “ forced down their th ro ats.” In m any ways, T he P etro c m et and exceeded the expectations of students and faculty. For the last four years, a m axim um of four issues of th e new spaper had been released during th e school year. T h e fourth issue was out by late F eb ru ary this year, with m ore issues released by the end of th e school year. A nother im provem ent w as th a t each issue of the paper was lengthened from 4-6 pages in previous years to 8-12 pages. T h e use of new sprint gave the paper an air o f authenticity, while th e a d dition of such gim m icks as statistics and th e “ In B r ie r ’ colum n added diversity to th e paper. W hile the first issue was lacking photos, subsequent issues were w ell-adorned w ith the handiw ork of the cam era club. In short, The P etro c changed in positive ways this year while m aintaining those attrib u tes which had endeared it to students, faculty, and alum ni in years past.

SCHOOL LIFE Each personâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s journey is a unique experience. Yet there are events in which we all partake; these are the things which unite us a community. W hether it be a group discussion in History class or the recital of prayer during Mass, we share some sort of common bond, something th at en compasses us all. Prep is that common bond. The g re a te st o p p o rtu n ity we have as members of this community lies in the events which bring us all togeth er. It lies in what we can give to our peers, and in what we can receive. It lies in what we can share along the road.

journey exposes the traveler to th e v ib ra n t en erg y of being alive. The inspiration of others moves us to do more, to be more, to make the most of who we are. Prep pro足 vides th at chance for exploration, for seeing possibilities for the first time. It allows us to realize th at the world is not limited to 144 G rand St. and th at this is a starting point, not an end point.

eople are searching for some deeper meaning to life, finding out that there’s a place to belong. Prep allows us to feel like part of something bigger; it allows each per son to discover the value of com munity. The journey is not a singular trail running far away from every thing else but rather, a point in the middle of things, among friends; it is being able to sit down and talk with anyone in the cafeteria, and knowing there’s something to be learned from each person who walks the halls . ..

he p ro cess of le a rn in g and grow th never ends. Each en counter in life is a step forward. We learn th a t th e re a re n ’t only two choices — taking it or leaving it. So much of what we do is about chang ing it. Prep is not the same as it was four years ago — each person has some unique effect on the place. Each person’s journey changes everyone else’s journeys. Each experience is some sort of growth, some greater realization of self and others. We strive to understand our lives better; we strive to break through in some way. Prep is the chance to do this . . .

IN MEMORIAM
“How ya doin’, men?” . . . “Stemus et oremus!” .. . “Fie on you!” . . . “The girls don’t come until 2:30!” . . . None passing through Hogan Hall could escape the resounding voice of Rev. Edward TL Dolan, SJ. Since 1963, Fr. Dolan had instilled his wisdom and knowledge of the Classics upon all those he knew. His hu morous but dignified spirit captivated his students. Through his generous efforts he commanded respect; his dedication to learning inspired his students in the pursuit of success. Though he passed, his memory remains in the hearts of those whom he touched. Fr. Dolan was a man of true generosity, always willing to give of his time and knowledge. Though a demanding teacher, he always found ways to make the class exciting. His unique sense of humor provided a laugh to brighten one’s day. Despite being old fashioned, he connected with each student as an individual. Fr. Dolan was not just a teacher, he was an institution. In his words and actions, he embodied the Prep spirit of a “man for others.” Thus, the Prep community bids a fond farewell, “It was good to have ya . . . thanks for coming!”
Rev. Edw ard E. Dolan, S.J. 1922 — 1992

Mr. Roberts Following the success o f the winter m usical, Brigadoon, Prep dram atists reassem bled this spring, with hope and dedication they presented their rendition o f the World W ar II dram a, Mr. Roberts. Beginning in early February, tryouts were held in the cafeteria after school. The turnout for auditions was impressive; the decision o f who would be cast in which roles in the hands of the director, Mr. Cam pion, in whose opinion the students who tried out were so good that he had a difficult tim e in casting the characters. Liam O ’Brien was given the lead role o f Mr. Roberts, while Kevin W ilson, Jason Russell, and T im othy M yer each had supporting roles. Lani Batac from S t. D om inic A cadem y was given the sole fem ale role in the show. For two m onths after that, the students practiced intensely in the cafeteria after school, som etim es for up to four hours at a tim e. C os tum ing was again provided for by Mrs. Figur; from the authentic hats to the slicked back hair, all o f the costum es served to com plim ent the perform ance o f the cast. On Friday, M ay 7, the actors finally enjoyed the fruits o f their labor. Lifting the curtain o f the Roy Irving Theater o f S t. P eter’s C ollege at 8:03 PM , the colorful and talented cast took stage. Each actor gave a com m anding and humorous performance, from Dave W alsh urinating on a palm tree to Jason Russell bursting on stage covered in soap suds. From the onset o f the show until the final applause faded, the dram atists animated the theater with laughter. The cast took their curtain calls receiving the accolades o f the audience. Even though each night’s perform ance only yielded m odest turnouts, the cast was not disheartened. They went on to put on a perform ance true to spirit o f Mr. Roberts, and sent the audience hom e touched by their efforts.
