ASSEMBLING TIIE SCHOOL Initiated by Fr. Joyce and continuing under Fr. Keenan, the Keys to the Future campaign issteering the campus into the twenty-first century.

Students and faculty alike have envi

sioned a bigger and better Prep with all the trimmings. It all began with the library, emptied and gutted before the '93-'94 year had even ended. Then the rear stairway went, forcing hundreds of students to cram through a single doorway and up and down the same flight of stairs in four minutes between classes. The entire basement of the English Building followed: the weight room, the bathroom, the hallway—all gone. As the days of summer faded away, students returned to a changed Prep. They were not sure what to expect as they

Giving the term “stepping out of class” a whole new meaning, three truncated classrooms in the English Building bear the scars o f a new elevator shaft.

While the library was being drasti cally overhauled, old, ratty books were trashed to make room for newer volumes. A few students even stopped to take a book or two home.

Slowly but surely adjusting to Prep life, freshmen walk to Lisbon Pizza for a slice during Orienta足 tion. These two productive days helped the new class of Prep men fam iliar足 ize themselves with the layout of the school and gave them a chance to meet some of the faces that make Prep such a great place. Amidst all the confusion of construction, Michael Chanfrau, Dave Bailey, Joe Feuchack, and Joe LoRe enjoy a game o f roller hockey after the Mass of the Holy Spirit in September. These afternoon games eventually led to the formation o f the Roller Hockey Club, ju st one of many activities Prep has to offer. Clubs and sports encourage teamwork and fair play, necessary attributes for the authentic Prep alum.

mmunity spirit is without a doubt the most unique

ingredient in the assembly of a Prep man. Involvement in school and the outside world is what makes a Prep student different from all others. Becoming a part of the collective whole is the fundamental step in becoming a Prep man. We learn to care not solely about ourselves, but about others: friends, parents, teachers, and administrators— recognise* ing that they care for us as well. We work together towards a common goal using Our own individual talents to get the job done. It’s this sense of community that turns a shell with rows of classrooms into a vibrant environment for living and learning. Otherwise, we’d be automatons wan dering the halls without any connection to one another— without a common thread. This community brings us together by consciously celebrating our ideals, gifts, and spirit. At the rallies we cheer on our teams. At the liturgies we pray and worship together. In programs like PAC and HAP we introduce these fundamentals to new members of the community. We reach the needy and less fortunate through Christian Service and summer missions. Community is not Just going to school and going home again; it’s a constant force among us. When we ace a test or score a goal, we’re doing It for the benefit of the community. These are the ties that bind.

or the past twelve years, our honoree has been fre a k in ’ out th e Prep community. His religion classes are, to say the least, unique in their approach. He sits among his students, pushing them to think and question their beliefs. In this way his students come to a much fuller understanding of the m oral and d e e p e r p h ilo s o p h ic le s s o n s he teaches. He connects with his students not through tests and quizzes but friendship and a wit all his own. When we have problems in our private lives he always listens, offering sound advice backed up by m any y e a rs of h ig h e r education. A man of strong faith, he serves in many ways. Covering both the academic and athletic aspects of Prep, he moderates the wrestling team and the Philosophy Club. He can frequently be found in the bleachers at a footb all or basketball game cheering on a team, surrounded by students and parents. Not only is he an in te g ra l p a rt of the Prep comm unity, but he is also deeply involved in his own neighborhood parish, Corpus Christi, in Queens. There he counsels drug addicts and alcoholics, as well as teaches adult religion classes. He trains deacons for both the Brooklyn and Paterson Dioceses and is

an advisor to the Archdiocese of New York on the teaching of the new Catechism of the Catholic Church. At weekday

masses at St. Peter’s Parish, he holds his homilies to three m in u te s fla t, g iv in g the c o n g re g a tio n a s h o rt but packed sermon. One reason that he is so much in tune with his students is that he is still a student h im s e lf, c o n tin u in g his education through graduate classes. That benefits both himself and us, and it’s in the English Building that we are a ble to in c o rp o ra te his education with ours. Opening with the usual “O.K., dudes,” class begins. A quick glance at the board reveals the variety of the courses that this year’s honoree teaches; it has on it the daily class plans for sophomore religion, a morality

and historical Jesus course. T h e re is also U ltim a te Questions which deals with the major religious issues of our day, and in the corner is the homework for his senior psychology course. He rolls his chair around to the front of his desk and starts the lesson. Using one of his favorite techniques, stories and anecdotes that are easy to relate to, he asks “All right, tough guys, who here has ever been insulted?” to begin an explanation of the titles of Jesus (telling his class that some of Jesus’ titles actually originated with his detractors). His signature bantercontinues throughout the class, adding levity to so m e tim e s m undane subjects. For this chairman of the religion department, though, there are very few mundane subjects at all. So here it is, tough guys. For his service to Prep, his in v o lv e m e n t in the community, his ability as an educator, and his success in making Prep a better place, we proudly dedicate the 1995Petreanlo Deacon John O’Neill. He is a model of dedication and caring, someone to look up to and admire. He has always been a friend, and always will be. Thanks for freakin’ us out, Deac.

“Yeah, you’re co o l.” Right after the daily quiz, Deac amuses his sophomore class during a discussion o f the meaning o f love. Respected as an engaging teacher, he finds a new way each day to brighten up his class.

Formost p e o p le th is w o u ld be an experience that they would not view with reverence, but for those people who attended the Higher Achievement Program, it was sheer joy. This program, called HAPthroughoutthe Prep community, has been serving Jersey City students in the seventh grade for a number of years by providing them with a base from which they can build their high school and Prep experiences. HAP is a program designed to give students a better chance of growing into mature Prep men. Over a two-month period, students studied an array of a cad em ic co urse s. T hese included English and math geared to secondary level work, and the skill and discipline necessary to succeed in high school. HAP not only prepared students for the rigors of high school, but it gave them the experience, knowledge, and confidence to develop into true “men for others.” HAP was not just a one-way s tre e t in v o lv in g se ve n th graders who come for a oncein-a-life-time opportunity. It also involved tutors who aspire to help their students in achieving academic excellence; students

earned a fulfilling experience and the fruits of their labor may never stop. HAP has been an integral part of education at Prep, it has given students the opportunity to expand their horizons and attain their goals by taking a varied amount of courses in addition to the regular course load. These options included: rap, film appreciation, journalism, puzzles ‘n riddles, physical fitness, sports, and in tro to S panish. These courses were only one of the good fe a tu re s of th is dynam ic program. One of the hallmarks of this year was the teacher-tutor game in which the tutors were defeated by seven points. HAP has truly been one of the great educational forces of Prep. This year, HAP has gone through a number of changes, including a change in the b u ilding in w hich HAP is housed. This year it was held in Burke Hall due to the construction on the English Building. This gave students a better environment to study, not to mention a respite from the heat of summer! It was truly one of HAP’s greatest milestones.

Taking his place was Mr. John Irvine, also a HAP veteran, who marked his firs t summer as HAP director. W h i I e coordinating the program, Mr. Irvine also managed to teach classes. He also received funding for creative student trips such as a roller hockey game and a swimming excursion to Pershing Field. Mr. Irvine did more than create changes; he provided an atmosphere which was conducive to learning. He disciplined the program more and at the same time he became more personally involved with the students through his friendly actions and frequent availability.

iM s informative as they were / ■ ^ f u n , the trips during the summer of ‘94 provided many students with opportunities to further their Prep experience. Through the efforts of several fa culty m em bers, students were presented with a wide variety of exciting activities. S u p e rv is e d by Fr. H oag, the E u ro pe a n to u r offered students the opportunity to learn about the diverse c u ltu re s of G erm any, S w itz e rla n d , F ran ce, and England. By taking part in th is trip , the students were able to enrich themselves with knowledge and experience of d iffe re n t c u ltu re s th a t could never be obtained in the classroom alone. On the flip side, the trip to the West was an adventurous journey to Utah, W yoming, Id ah o , and M ontana. Conducted by Mr. Boyle and Mr. Arabia, Prep West included such w ild and e n th ra llin g activities as rafting the Green River, traversing Yellowstone C a n yo n on h o rse b a ck, exploring the caves at Craters of the Moon, and climbing at the City of Rocks. One activity proved a little too wild for Mr. Arabia, when he was nearly thrown from Swen, his bucking bronco. Luckily, the horse was not hurt. “The p e o p le I e n c o u n te re d in K e n tu cky

reflected the inner positive humanity that lies within us all, just waiting to be awakened,” said S teve B a u tista a fte r participating in the volunteer e x c u rs io n to K entucky. Chaperoned by Mr. Arabia, this trip allowed students to ease the problems of loneliness, old age, and financial insecurity that face many of the people of Kentucky. The students were working under the guidance of Glenmary Mission, where they performed many tasks such as repairing homes for the needy. The students also helped by providing an enjoyable and e n tertainin g picnic fo r the residents of the Old Folks Home. The students were challenged to overcome the difficulties of rural life, such as the lack of indoor plumbing, but the rewards of helping the n eedy m ade th e se in c o n v e n ie n c e s seem insignificant. Ms. Hellstrom’s Jersey City Sketchbook art program enabled students to develop their creative abilities in drawing and sketching. During the four weeks of this course, students learned all the basics of a studio class without the boundaries of the school. T h e ir artistic endeavors took them to Liberty State Park, the piers, and other places in the Jersey City area that provided great opportunity to sketch landscapes. While all the summer activities and trips offered valuable lessons, the common point was that the Prep experience is without limits.

Anxious to get on the road, Sawa Panayiotou enlightens the camera with his enthusiastic smile as he gets ready to ship out. The July trip to rural Kentucky gave the Prepsters a chance to help the less fortunate with their youthful compassion.

Established last May, the oath's aim was to provide role models for the Prep student body. Emphasis was placed on education about the dangers of negative peer pressure.

Personal interviews were also an important part of selecting future counselors. During the interviews each student was required to present an idea on developing an activity involving freshmen and, if accepted as a PAC member, was expected to execute his activity. PAC is not a program for the s e lfis h , irre s p o n s ib le , or uncaring. It is aimed at the development of its members and the schoolm ates they serve, in the Prep spirit of being “men for others.”

AwAT from it

emarked Fr. Keenan, SJ, in his Freshman Orienta tion speech, “Prep has an out standing retreat program, one that the schools I’ve been at have tried to imitate.” Orga nized by Fr. Anthony Azzarto, SJ, School Chaplain, Prep’s retreats focus on community and inner reflection. All four classes take part in retreats, but the Emmaus weekend is the most popular with students and is often seen as the culmi nation of the retreat experi ence. The ’94 Freshman Retreat was unlike any that most mem bers of the Class of '98 had previously experienced. The film Packv Rowe was featured as a demonstration that one’s s im p le a c ts of k in d n e s s shouldn’t be underestimated. The day also helped to unify a diverse class. “It helped me understand a lot about people who I had never seen. It also gave me a chance to express my feelings about Prep,” said Dave Cox ’98. The Sophomore Retreat rounded out the experience of the Freshman Retreat, helping to solidify both the community and individua l friendships. Students learned to be true to themselves and their friends through a poignant excerpt from finflnt of a Woman. The meditation on one’s self-worth

Unlike the Freshman and Sophom ore Retreats, Emmaus consisted of a group of about twenty stu dents, plus four adults and four senior team leaders. This ap proach enabled students to fo cus on themselves and their p e e rs ’ re fle c tio n s . Taking place, as al ways, at Sea Bright, many students real ized the importance of finding Christ in their lives and in the people around them. “The re tre a t allow ed us to open up to each other and ultimately to God,” e x p re s s e d A n g e lo Abbatem arco ’96 of Emmaus 126. Nearing the end of their journey at Prep, the se niors sought their final under standing of each other and community at the overnight Fireside Retreats.

A dozen seniors also shared similar reflections with other Jesuit high school seniors dur ing the Arl Amorem weekend on Staten Island.

ALLOWED "What do you mean only dads can come?" This question was asked by many mothers during the 1994 Father-Son Re treat. Feeling deprived of the opportunity and perhaps envious of their husbands, the mothers of Prep students responded eagerly to the first-ever Mother-Son Retreat, which was facilitated by Fr. Azzarto. This unprecedent ed

event occured on December 4, 1994 in the Prep cafete ria. The re t r e a t was a im e d at strengtheni n g th e bonds be tween mothers and sons. In a single morning and afternoon, the moms and their sophomore, junior, and senior sons partici pated in group activities including one-on-one conversations, it was common to hear the phrase " I didn't know that about her" as stu dents reflected on spe cific insights of the day. The thirty-nine pairs who p a rtic ip a te d shared concerns big and small and found some extra support in meeting the mothers and sons of other Prep fa m ilie s too.

TH1 hroughout the school M year, members of the Prep family were challenged constantly with school work and co-curricular activities. W ith tim e alw ays running quickly, it was easy to forget that one’s achieve ments and failures affected not just o n e s e lf, but the whole student body as well. Growing and learning from each other, it was evident that God was present in the whole community. Thus such events as prayers and lit urgies celebrated G o d ’s p re s e n c e and our unity. Amid all the chaos of daily life, prayer brought a tempo rary inner-peace. There were many opportunities to gather and share ourselves with oth ers. Advent candle lightings, penance services, the bless ing of the Christmas tree, and a prayer service centered on the martyrs of El Salvador all en hanced the spiritual atm o sphere of Prep. The Advent and Christmas services at tracted students of different backgrounds and beliefs, who were preparing and praising

the birth of Jesus. The liturgies helped us de fine meanings in our lives and showed that God directed us toward that purpose. The Mass of the Holy Spirit, the Thanksgiving liturgies, and others brought us closer to God. The Christmas Mass, for example, was more than a cel ebration of Jesus’ birth. It was a recognition that students and faculty had a special relation ship, equivalent to a family. The liturgies were not confined to the school. All retreats were concluded with a liturgy too. As Fr. Azzarto commented, ‘The liturgies are with people, not just you with God.” When students or their relatives experienced misfortunes,we alleviated their emotional distress, providing consolations to family mem bers, praying with and for them, and being there during times of need. Through prayers and litur gies we had a richer under standing of ourfaith in God and others. Academics and cocurricular activities stimulated our mind and bodies. How ever, this did not make our lives complete. Only when our souls are excited, then our lives are truly fulfilled.

At the Sports Rallies, the evere n e rg e tic M a ra u d e r and Henchmen took the chance to whip the students into a frenzy, and the Varsity athletes were in tro d u c e d to the school community.

Student Counci l whether he would dress up as a clown if the students could raise $ 1 0 ,0 0 0 in the first two days of the drive, M r. Raslowsky eagerly responded, "Why not!" The students were shocked. Mark Kudere '98 commented," I heard about the bet, but I didn't believe it. And then on the day of the Walk-A-Thon, I was astounded to see him in a clown suit." Whether it was intended to motivate the students or provide an opportunity for Mr.Raslowsky to fulfill his wildest fantasies, he demonstrated the age-old philosophy: "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy."

don’t know what to 1 expect,” said soph omore Constantine Dy as he wentto join the masses of Prep faculty and students for the annual Walk-A-Thon to Liberty S ta te Park. Although cloudy, the day was a great improvement over last year’s drizzle. The day was f urther brightened by the announcement that over $ 3 2 ,0 0 0 dollars was raised to buy new equipment for the weight room and computers for the expanded library. The 1994 W alk-A-Thon raised more than twice as much as the previous year. The freshmen brought in just less than half of the total amount, earning a week of free dressdow n days. The upperclassmen provided most of the top individual totals; juniors were especially strong. Jose Vilarino ’96 led the school by bringing in $505. The reason thatthe Walk-A-Thon was such a success, though, was the collected returns from the “average student.” Since each student was asked to bring in $50 and many students went b eyond th a t m inim um re q u ire m e n t, the school

j f f

couldn’t help but bring in money. Another reason for the high returns was the incentive prizes. Students that brought $100 or more were given a Prep watch, sweatshirt, or “Gold Card,” getting them into all football, basketball, and hockey games, as well as Prep dances and wrestling matches, for free. All students who brought in $50 or more were given a choice of a Prep T-shirt, sunglasses, or boxers. One of the unique aspects of W alk-A-Thon ’94 was a change of route. Instead of going through the tight streets of Hoboken, Liberty State Park was the destination. The new route consisted of going down Grand Street to Jersey Avenue and then across a footbridge and into the park. Throughout the walk students enjoyed each other’s company, even tossing footballs along the boardwalk. After a quick lunch and pick-up games at the park, the walkers returned to Prep for an even quickercheck-in, before leaving for their afternoon off. The benefits of Walk-A-Thon '94 were not limited to new computers and gym equipment for the school. Underlying the Walk-A-Thon was a sense of unity that brought the Prep co m m u n ity to g e th e r fo r a common goal.

j^cademics is a fundamental component in building a Prep student. The classes supply the basic skills neces sary to survive in the changing world today. They give us a solid foundation on which to build a further education and prepare for a career. They are researching a World Civ project,working in a group, understanding a lecture. The future is fortified by these abilities, which form the core of the Prep assembly line. The after school hours in study hall. Biology’s 20 Questions. The killer AP Cal final. Academics produce very real, valuable results. Without them, Prep men would be missing crucial elements of their education. Some successful academic careers produce honor pins, gold medals, honor society certificates, and scholar ships.

For others, success comes in that personal

achievement of the best English paper yet or clearing the hurdle and passing chemistry. Most importantly, aca demics instill responsibility, efficiency, and intellectual curiosity. They balance a young mind with art and math, language and religion, science and English. They make Prep a challenging yet interesting experience. Academics is more than trig functions, double negatives, and atomic weights. It is also the reasoning to find answers and the understanding of another cul ture. Classes encourage communication, interaction, and imagination. They stimulate Our artistic flair and broaden our awareness of the social problems of the world. Writing, logic, reading, study skills. These are the tools you’ll need.

“ C and proving them co herently" is, as Mr. Campion said, a necessity for a student to communicate efficiently in society. Writing is an aspect of education that perm eates every class at Prep. Although writing was not an obvious aspect of the s c i - ^ | ence department, all labs required discus- ^ sions to explain the ^ theory, sources of error, 1 and future possibilities of ' experiments. In geoscience ^ and biology, quarter projects included papers on fruits, dis eases, and field trips. An early aid to the endeavor of writing, the freshman Writ ing Lab taught students how to brainstorm, list ideas, and use more illustrative language. Also, Mr. Casey encouraged students in English to read the highly acclaimed Elements of Style in order to improve writ ing skills. Freshmen and sophomores practiced techniques by writ ing essays on a weekly basis. On an unusually warm November afternoon, freshmen Carl Figueiredo and Kevin Comprelli take a World Civilizations test on ancient Rome and the early growth of Christianity. Their essays were based on a series of primary and secondary sources they had read on the decline of the Roman Empire.

Upper level Latin classes put students’ experience to use in required papers on particular cla ssi-

ThisisOnly aTest... Recognizing that test-taking is not a perfect method of measuring intelligence, it is the best standard that the educational system uses. Although quizzes, tests, and exams always required earnest preparaÂ tion, were often dreadful, and were sometimes tedious, they did measure how ready the student was for the test and how well the student understood the course material. To provide freshness, there was a variety of different testing styles such as multipie choice, essay, take-home, problem solving, matching, idenÂ tification, and translation.

The common forty-

minute tests lei up to the 21/2 hoar midterms and exams.

Courses like lessons of the Holocaust,

Contemporary Issues, and 6reek required term papers in the place of fiaal exams.

Becoming

comfortable with test-takiog at Prep readied one for simrlar evaluations in college. Students prepared for tests by making review sheets, anticpating essays, and really striving to understand the material instead of just memorizing data. Doing m il on a math tost required practicing problems. A good English or history grade reflected a grasp of recurring themes I * 1 work of literature or over a period of time. Of course, "reading the textbook" was a piece of invaluable advice that Mr. Boyle suggested. Once test-taking skills ware mastered, they were again used on national exams soeb at tie SAT, SAT 11, and AP Ixams. Thus, for practical purposes, the test-taking system measured the preparedness of the student and the ability to take tests â&#x20AC;&#x201D; tbo most common standard of measurement in our society.

Only when the skill of reading is exercised can ex tensive discussion and genu ine understanding take place. Reading the history, sci ence, language, and math textbooks was the first step in introducing the themes and technical con cepts to be cov ered. In addition, French and Spanish teacher Mrs Costanzo commented, “Reading is so important to improve vocabulary and writing skills. It allows you to see the language as a whole.” The placement of the subject, verb, direct or indirect object, and articles became more precise once a student had struggled through authen tic pieces of literature. To that end, Ms. Garcia’s AP Spanish L a n g u a g e and L ite ra tu re classes started reading short stories in third year and later progressed to reading worldrenowned authors such as A challenging junior elective, Latin 3 Honors boasted an enrollment of 12 students.

m odern era, but it also united the modern era with the ancient world and the Renaissance. Such links, in works like the Iliad, the Holy Bible, The Can terbury Tales, H uckleberry Finn, and Death o f a Sales man, reminded students that humankind’s essential charac

teristics remain the same. Also, reading the plays of the ancient Greeks, Shakespeare, and Arthur Miller was condu cive to a more critical analysis of each story than if students had solely seen them per formed. Some special skills were de veloped as well. Students grasped the inverted order of Shakespeare, the Old En g lish of C h a u ce r, the quirks of Greek transla tions, and the many dif ferent names associ ated with any one of Dostoyevsky’s characters. The student of African-American Lit erature, Sports Literature, or Ghost and Horror Fiction, finally, realized that reading expands the experiences of the mind. R eading— even about diverse topics in diverse genres— was the focal point from which new ideas, class discussions, and people’s per spectives grew.

After eight months of construction, the S t. Peter's Prep school library was finally open for use os January 30. Although not quite completed, the library was a frequent haven for students and teachers alike. Two weeks after the library was finished, Jason Elliott commented, "It's pretty good.

Assessing' OWl

A chievem ent/ On October 8, 1994, the sophomores, juniors, and seniors of St. Peter's Prep had the privilege of talcing either the PSAT or SAT. The Scholastic Assessment Test, one of the most dreaded tests of high school, had changed from last year, causing even more panic among students. The Preliminary Scholastic Assessment Test also developed a few different changes. Primarily, the name had been changed; both had been known as "aptitude,* not assessment, tests.

The College

Board, which sponsors the test, had finally admitted that the SAT failed to measure intelligence, thus the change in title. Many changes appeared in the English section of the test. The antonym section bsctme obsolete, as did the test of Standard Written English. The elimination of these sections caused the test to be shortened from two and a half hours to two hoars. The two verbal sections and math sections were each thirty minutes in length. The scoring systems for the PSAT and SAT were also altered, artificially raising most scores.

This new curve,

called "reeentering,â&#x20AC;? added approximately an additional one hundred fifty points onto the previous combined score. So the average student jo t a higher score, while having hit perforÂ mance level stay the same.

Colleges began raising their

requirements to counterbalance the reeentering.

In other

words, a school that had looked for t combined score e f 1000 new looked for an HSO. Another new addition to this standardized test was called student-produced responses or "grid-ins." Each group conÂ sisted of ten problems that were not multiple-choice hat rather marked on a grid, printed on the answer sheet. The Educational Testing Service, for the first time ever, decided to provide a testing booklet which contained separate scores for both the math end verbal sections and ell# the correct answers to the sections ef the test. Another addition was that students were told the percentage ef eety, medium, and difficult questions they answered. The service else released national percentiles, a section index, and a reply regarding e student'* eligibility for National Merit Scholarships.

With this knowledfe

available to students, many anxieties were relieved and nerves calmed.

The responsibility of the student was to take notes, tune out distractions, and ask pertinent questions.

c ussion topics, and high lighted terms. The AP History book had tiny print and none of the former aides. Besides text books, history classes used

maps to communicate geogra phy and handouts to offer stu dents different perspectives on controversial topics. In Ms. Wysocki’s Calculus class, students learned to fol low what was on the board even if it was not immediately understood. Later on, doing problems clarified the lesson. Ms. LeCalvez stressed the ne cessity of using “conceptual visualization” (a term which dazzled her colleagues). Foam balls and to o th picks, for example, were used to visualize mo lecular structure. This ongoing pro cess of le a rn in g how to learn began at Prep and will last a lifetime. Memoriza tio n , lis te n in g , reading comprehension, visualization, note-taking, following direc tions, setting priorities, time m a n a g e m e n t, and d o in g homework were all skills fun damental to the learning pro cess and the teaching process alike.

Is order to maintain successful academic careers at Prep, students were forced to develop and nurture proper study habits.

Unfortunately, some lacked the peace and quiet

needed to concentrate on homework at home. Others had to remain after school to wait for rides home after practice. So in order to provide a place conducive to studying and doing homework, the after school study halt was initiated, and the program excelled beyond student and teacher expectations. "I jo t more work done here than at hone,'' raved sophomore Brian Dougherty about the impact of the study hall on his academic career. A t home were students video games, television, and bothersome siblings. A t study hall, there were no interrupÂ tions. I t Was within this atmosphere that students learned how te increase their concentration and attention levels. Study hall wet an environment fit for studying,

This enabled us to get our thoughts across, our demands met, and our feelings expressed. At Prep, the spoken word was empha sized through m odern language courses and oral pre sentations. Indeed,as Mrs. Costanzo affirmed, “Students really should listen to a language first.” Language teachers concen trated on grammar in the first year, then reading and writing in the second and third years, until the students becam e com fortable speaking th eir chosen modern language.

sounds. Furthermore, young linguists learned in German to make abundant use of com pound words. The spoken word was also cru cial in

s i o n s fo r courses other than modern languages. History debates were by their nature controversial, and teachers found ways for students to en ter into historical events. In Mr. Benz’s U.S. History 2 classes, seniors ran two-day seminars on immigration and on religion and public policy each quarter. The Scopes “Monkey Trial,”

refugee policy during World W ar II, and the ethics of nuclear war were some of the topics addressed. In The Church in the Modern World Mr. Caslin had his stu dents present articles to the class to balance the textbook with updated materials. Students in Ms. Baber’s Latin III Honors course wrote papers on the lives of famous Roman au thors and poets and presented them be fore the class, while in the senior Cre ative Writing elec tive students read their stories aloud so that others could offer their suggestions. In modern languages and other courses, students were expected to communicate ef fectively by speaking. This provided them with the oppor tunity to associate with people and approach topics they oth erwise might not have. The spoken word was instrumental in all classes which demanded debate, questions and an swers, and oral presentations.

I neorporating the belief that learning does set arise exclusively from * texbook, the language department created unique oppor足 tunities for students to experience cultures aside from their own. A knowledge of other cultures is imperative to the foreignlanguage learning process. The overwhelming success of the German and Mexican Exchanges proved that living in a country is the most effective way to learn a language. Hearing the different dialects, contemplat足 ing the accents, and most importantly, speaking coherently to a German or Mexican person made the learning process more effective. Cultural adventures also occured in Manhattan. Abstract Italian art and magnificent sculptures at the Guggenheim left Italian students in awe at the creative works of many avant-garde post-war Italian artists.

Listening to the opera Madama

Butterfly at the NYC Opera was a wonderful experience for the Italian students as well. Written by Puccini, the opera depicted the struggles of a Japanese woman who had a child by an American man who abandoned her. French students saw the tragedy of a French leader in Colonel Chaberf by B a in . The film complemented the lessons of French history taught in French 2 . Pino Palomares enjoyed it because "it had more depth, more impact, and more philosophical debate than American films." Spanish students viewed the play Bodas do Sang re by Garcia Lorca. Although the play's focus on arranged marriages was foreign to most students, the basic theme of forbidden love was transcendental. A whole new world is open to students who experience the art and language of another people. Trips, museums, operas, movies, and plays provided the media through which students could listen to the language in use and widen their perceptions of the world.

An ever-shrinking world n an ever-shrinking world of global communication, it is im portant to becom e aware of cultures other than one’s own, especially since the United States is a nation of immigrants. Also, as the U.S. is a world power, its citizens must be able to deal with other countries. Knowing about other peoples, Prep students better appreciated others in the microcosm of the Prep co m m u n ity and th e m a c ro cosm of the world. Even around Prep in order for students to re sp e ct each o th e r, they had to understand each o th e r’ s c u ltu re s . Correcting misconceptions World Civ, U.S. History, Ian guage, and religion focused on the enlightening aspects of dif ferent cultures. World Civ fo cused more on Eastern civili zations than it had in the past. For example, there is an in valuable mind-set in Confu cianism which extols respect for parents, family, and elders which leads to responsibility

and success. Also, as Ms. Curry said, “The world today is so interrelated economically, militarily, and socially that the problems other countries have end up on the doorstep of the U.S.” We deal with trade prob lems with C hina and loans to Mexico,

but to do that success fully, we must under stand those societies. The means by which history teach ers had an influence on our present and future politics and government was by teaching the leaders of tomorrow.

Learning a foreign language was one of many ways students were exposed to various cultures. In German 1 class, Herr DeAngeio shares with his students the significance of Bonn, the city declared the provisional capital of West Germany after World War II.

Q \ ACADEMICS

Language study was also an obvious link to cultures world wide. Studying French and Spanish exposed students to two cultures rich with histories of kings, nobles, wars, revolu tions, food, and art. Also, the study of the Italian concept of I’omerta, the responsibility of the male to protect his honor, was explored through the play a n d o p e ra C a v a l l e r i a Rusticana. Christian Morality and Social Justice, finally, ex posed students to the more simple lives of p e o p le lik e m any Central Americans w h o s e e n e rg ie s were spent largely on survival and whose adversaries were authoritar ian governments. With these situations in mind, we began to see how cooperation with the resources of the world could improve hu manity. With increased aware ness of other peoples, we can enhance ourown perspectives and theirs, now and for the future.

Unlike "traditional" high school courses, Lessons ef the Holo足 caust was team-taught by three different teachers who focused on three different aspects ef the Nazi genocide against the Jews ef Europe. History department chair Ms. Marie Carry taught the first chapter of this three-chapter beek by concentrating her attentions on the historical background ef the Holocaust. Her wealth of information and devotion te breaking down the barriers of prejudice end racism set up a firm foundation fer the second teacher to take ever, Mr. Jim DeAngelo. A German teacher, Mr. DeAngelo brought his background in the German language to the forefront exploring different aspects of literature that eame about based on the Holocaust. Whether it was through books, plays, er videos, Mr. DeAngelo wove atarge amount of literature into his lessons and paved the wey for the third teacher, Mr. Jorge Becerra, te bring the class to a conclusion. A religion teacher and Christian Service director, Mr. Beeerra zeroed in on psychological end ethicel aspects of the Holocaust. By bringing with him a reservoir of information on both the religiess aspects of the Heloeaast and a knowledge of psychology, he expanded class discussions from the Holo足 caust itself to several different contemporary matters affect足 ing the world today. History is life, the life of the past, and the pest includes alt ef time up to this very moment. This phrase sums up exactly what Hie lessons ef the Heloeaast course tried to teaeh daring the fall semester. History sen, and often dees, repeat itself; hat if we ere never te experience another holocaust, then people mast he made aware of whet really happened end understand that it can happen again.

Cultural Development

Wo r k veryone taught at St. j Peter’s comes away with a better understanding of the Catholic Church and its teach ings. Included in these teach ings is a great deal of empha sis on Christian morality. C h r is tia n m o r a lity deals with Jesus’ te a c h in g a b o u t God’s love and the human response to that love. The community at Prep was conscious of liv ing in a world today where many Christian values are seriously challenged. Like young people throughout our society, Prep students con fronted enormous issues such as the abuse of alcohol and drugs, sexual promiscuity, and cheating in the classroom. St. Peter’s recognized the bur dens that many teens face and tried to educate its students with a curriculum focused on Jesuit tradition and Catholic beliefs. Mr. Caslin, a sophomore and junior religion teacher, com mented that the students have During his Contem porary Issues class, Mr. Raslowsky talks about the death penalty. Advocates of the death penalty distort statistics for their benefit. Adversaries of it distort statistics to their own advan tage. In order to assess the morality of the death penalty, one must consider its validity as both a means of distributive justice and as a preventa tive measure.

v o Iu n teering at the Hoboken Shelter, Mr. Caslin pointed out that the “students committed to the Christian Service program and volunteering at soup kitchens upheld the values that Chris tians strive for.” Also, in the classroom Mr. Caslin edu cated his students on the Catholic Church and the role we, as students here at St. Peter’s, play in it.

-POPE PAUL VI

Another religion teacher, Mr. Ford, expressed this same idea, but with a different spin. Mr. Ford taught his students about social justice and the leaders who have promoted th e m o ve m e n t. M a rtin Luther King, Jr., Dorothy Day, and Daniel Berrigan were all studied in great detail to better under stand Christian belief and how it is ex pressed in contem porary society. Mr. DeLorenzo, our foreign relations ex pert at St. Peter’s, discussed morality in a different way. His history course did not deal with religion per se, but his commit ment to educate his students on the dangers of totalitarian g o ve rn m e n ts and leaders such as H itle r and S talin showed everyone that democ racy and freedom are essential for survival. According to Mr. DeLorenzo, “the students here at St. Peter’s are really recep tive” to his classes and find this “different approach to U.S. his tory quite enjoyable.”

Ita Ford's death should not be looked upon as merely the end of a warm, caring person's life. Instead, it should be looked upon as a revival, because out of her death her spirit gave life to those who needed it the most. Ita was a Woman who took action when action was needed. However, her desire to change a world that needed drastic change led to her death in El Salvador. I f there ever was a way to repay Ita for her devotion to the poor of our world, it is to carry on her work and allow her spirit to touch our hearts and strengthen us. Junior James Castillo said, "Through her dedication and bard work to bring justice to the oppressed, Ita Ford is a perfect exemplar of bow one person can significantly make the world a better place." Ita Ford loved to be around family.

Whether it be at

holidays or special occasions, when Ita was not overseas, sbe spent most of her time at home. Mr. B ill Ford, junior religion and history teacher here at St. Peter's, recalls bow his aunt's presence changed everyone else.

He stated that when you

looked at Ita, you couldn't help but smile. Sbe brought out the very best in each and alt of us. Wben she was overseas, Mr. Ford would send letters and videos to her and sbe would respond beck. Even though Ita was very busy in Bolivia, Cbite, and El Salvador, sbe s till made time h r her family. Mr. Ford passionately claimed Ita Ford to be a woman who made the extraordinary tbe ordinary. Sbe was a leader wbo took it upon berself to deliver the message of tbe Lord. This is wby we, as a Jesuit community, must celebrate ber life and not her death.

Junior Tarek Arafat said, "By following in ber

footsteps, each student can continue to keep ber message alive as be works to improve the Prep community." If we want to believe that Ita's spirit lives within us all, then we must focus on her life, because in ber life lies ber spirit. Ita w*s especially fond of tbe quotation of St. Paul that stated, "Take away this heart of stone and grant me a heart of flesh." Ita definitely had a heart of flesh, beeause sbe opened her heart for others to receive and felt otber people's pain. If any tribute can be given to Ita Ford, it is tbe fact tbat ber work helped others who live on, grateful for ber life.

A sign of the well-educated person it an appreciation of the arts. Prop instilled this in students through the freshman fine arts curriculum which included the music class taught by Mr. Jones and the art class taught by Ms. Hellstrom. The Music class introduced the scale of notes which, <t first, was confusing for (hose students to whom it was a new language.

Freshmen also gained an understanding and

appreciation for some of history's great composers such as Tchaikovsky, Beethoven, and Mozart.

This was done by

watching a movie about them and listening to their composi tions.

Occasionally, Mr. Jones also demonstrated music

concepts by playing tbe piano.

According to one freshman,

whose favorite composer was Wagner, "Music class was not a regular class. There were notes and quizzes, but it was more interesting and fun." The art class, taught by Ms. Hellstrom, allowed freshmen to express feelings through drawings and using colors. Freshmen Merest Mayhue said that the course "built up my confidence to do things I didn't think I could do.”

Projects

ranged from three-dimensional drawings using colored pencils to day sculptures of Egyptian mythology that described how an animal or god represents good or evil. The art class provided ttudentt with a beginning appreciation fer art and a starting point for creating their owe works of art.

Group Work

Scenes Stories ScuCptures estowing a rigorous and challenging college prep curriculum is the primary focus of Prep’s promise to prepare young men for the real world. There are also several courses which enhance students’ cre ativity and broaden their com munication skills. Seniors explained the thrill of playing a dram atic role on stage after taking the new acting elec tiv e . T h e cours< helped them acquire the basic tools necessary for creating a character on stage. As a result, the stu dents felt comfortable ex pressing themselves more re alistically and effectively. Mr. Briamonte emphasized that the goal of an actor is to convey a character true to his nature. Some who wanted to ex press their imagination with paper and pen wrote short sto ries. Creative Writing culti vated fresh and effective ways

to convey ideas and feelings. Students learned that a writer must help the reader vicari ously experience the feel ings of the character. Fr. Raulli explained,

“ C re ative writing is important be cause it gives the stu dent a chance to develop the creative side of his mind along with the analytical.” Class in cluded critiquing each others’ stories and offering ideas for

improvement. Music also aided students’ general development. The in troductory course presented different types of instruments and music. Mr. Jones as serted, “Music is an integral part of human development in dimensions such as the use of both hemispheres of the brain, development of cogn itiv e , a ffe c tiv e and p s y c h o -m o to r skills, and le a rn in g p r o cesses.” Students wishing to explore the vi sual arts opted to take Studio Art I or II. Among other things, they were expected to use shadows and fin e co lo rin g in th e ir projects. Although the focus has tradi tionally been on courses re quired by colleges, expressing artistic talent helped students to communicate better, ver bally and non-verbally, through the realm of the fine arts.

Performance For the first time in Prep history, a Basie Acting elective was offered to the senior student body. Nine brave students ventured into the unknown. Trying their talent on stage were: Jeff Bayard, Alex 6arcia, Joe Galiastro, Ala Haddadin, Luigi Marandola, Mike Noriega, Rodney Reyes, Sergio Robayo, and Victor Suthammanont. The instructor was Mr. Frank Briamonte '86, Prep's alumni director, who is himself trained in the art of the stage. The class met every other day at Victory Hall, just down the block from Prep. Each "actor” participated in class using his individual talents.

The regular double-lunch period

meeting went well, and, finally, at the end of the semester, the students had to take a final exam However, this was no ordinary exam. The students were asked to perform various skits and pieces in front of a Prep audience. On Wednesday, December 22, a tense atmosphere de scended on Victory Hall.

It was the night of the Final

Performance, and Sergio Robayo, an actor in the opening piece, "The Odd Couple,” had walking pneumonia. The group was nervous, but Sergio managed to perform, and th# other pieces all fell right into place. The night was a complete success. The students of Basie Acting were proud to have begun a new tradition. A group of fine actors oompleted the course ready to take on the world.

Creative Imagination

APPLIED M blackboard and chalk were not the i" » o n l y things that were found in the classroom. TVs and videos, while they were used sparingly, functioned as media that some students could better under stand. TVs provided a visual represen tation of the naked words of the text. Showings included On the Waterfront, Ham let, and Romeo and Juliet. Televi s io n a ls o brought unity and per spective to cul ture and history. An example was the viewing of Two Women in Italian w ith Mr. S abe dra . % Such videos allowed students to hear how native people speak the lan guage, use idioms, and express them selves with their body language. There were chemistry programs de signed to have students practice the fun damentals of chemistry. Both at school and at home computers were used as word processors to help make papers easier to revise and neater to present. Using the overhead projector to review for a test, Ms. Moore questions Alex Martinez, Neil Mosco, Robin Edwin, and Raheel Ansari on short stories by such authors as Stephen Crane. Saving and re-using transparen cies helped her to go over material more efficiently.

Mr. McDermott used traditional geo metric tools in the form of protractors, compasses, and rulers for the board, and he used three-dimesional shapes to help convey the concepts of the ideal circle, sphere, square, and cube (which, of course, we can only ‘see’ in our minds). Biology labs provided a visualization of animal organs by dissecting frogs, worm s, and pigs. The ripple tank in physics dis pla ye d th e e f fects of sound waves. Chemis try labs consisted of a plethora of burning, dissolving, and freezing MgCI2, NaCI, and acetic acid. In art class, students expressed their inward emotions and ideas in the outward creation of painting three-dimensional fig ures and masks. Thus, in the often abstract academic life of a student, the sensual world of televi sion, labs, and art instruments provided hands-on activity and the necessary visu alization that brought everything together.

eginning high school pro duces anxiety for many freshmen. New faces, new teachers, and a new building surround them, making this a critical period for many fresh men. The Class of ’98 had to learn how to budget their time in order to achieve high marks, while simulta neously participat ing in activities and sports. Freshman teachers had to be especially ' dedicated to help with the transition. Mr. Irvine broke the silence of shy 1 students with his droll and creative humor, while Mr. Dandorph made himself avail able for any inquiry. Such dis plays of hard work and caring set a positive tone for all Prep students. Structured opportunities for freshmen to reflect on their ex periences at Prep occurred in Group G uidance with their co u n se lo rs.

port th e ir te a ch ers. Their parents also came in with them to discuss with adm inistrators and c o u n s e l o r s thei r upperclass course selections. Braced because of junior year’s reputation as the tough est of the four, the Class of ’96 met the challenge head on. The increased emphasis on critical thinking and writing pre pared them for the infamous

SATs, as did their own Group Guidance meetings. In addi tion to addressing issues of m orality and other school policy matters, college was an essential topic of discussion. Eager for direction, juniors learned the secrets of college admissions based on Mr. Dondero’s and Fr. Balduf’s years of experience. Amid college applica tio n d e a d lin e s and regular school work, the Class of ‘95 man aged to survive, and teachers will ingly wrote recom m endations. W ith so much help available, the labo rious college application pro cess became less stressful. The role of teachers was not simply to educate students in math and history, but to pre pare them for life outside of high school. Classrooms were always open to students who wanted to discuss personal as well as academic problems with theirteachers. By alleviat ing sources of tension, stu dents were able to concentrate better on their academic life at Prep.

So What’s It All About? Teaching the fundamentals was a chief aim at St. Peter’s.

It was important, as Ms. Grabler said, "to develop critical thinking and responsibility in the youth today." learning was

not only finding oat what is what, hot what might be. As a

Jesuit institution, Prep focused on the message of Jesus —

to build the Kingdom of Sod. As a school operating in a

democratic society, Prep also, as Mr. Merrick put it,

"prepared students for the outside world" — to earn a living,

to become good citizens, and to continue learning and growing

personally.

The broad education that Prep offered prepared students for

the various and ever-changing jobs of the future. Graduates

will aspire to protect common humanity and human rights, as

well as their own families and futures.

Prep instilled an

eagerness for education, helped students hone the skills of

learning, and provided them with an incentive for further

development. Mrs. Q'6rady noted that Prep must "teach students to think

and expose them to as much learning as possible" to enable them

to thrive. Students matured mentally, morally, and spiritually.

Their minds expanded. In the end, they grew in self-discipline,

intellectual stamina, and personal courage.

Final Instructions

hat are the endeavors that round out the building

of a Prep man? They are numerous and varied. They enrich the mind as well as the soul. They are competing in a baseball game, acing a math team test, decorating the cafeteria for a dance, making the play that decides the big game. Our memories are made with these events, and through them Prep men are assembled. The hours put in on Fiddler on the Roof, Friday night Forensics practice. Having a meal with the membersofaclub. These are our memories. These are the things we will remember even more than exams, grades, and honor pins. Activities produce tangible, concrete results. They are not measured in numerical grades. Cocurriculars produce trophies, letter sweaters, champiÂ onship rings, and camaraderie. They instill discipline and responsibility just as well as classes do. They are an outlet for the full spectrum of talent that Prep students possess. They are what make Prep more than a school. They make Prep a community and an experience. Whether activities consist of groups of like* minded people or are for giving back to the school and community, these clubs, staffs, and sports shape the character of Prep and Prep students. They encourage participation, interest, and teamwork. Through them we develop our talents, make use of them, and tighten the community. This is the overtime youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll put in.

Truong Nguyen also placed well in their divisions. It was a good day for all chess team members. Not only did they prove themselves worthy of recognition, but they earned a name for Prep as a formidable adversary for future competition.

■ mong many other ' competitive activities, St. Peter’s Prep also stood high among Catholic schools in the areas of mathematics, computers, and chess. The math team, computer science team, and chess team were three clubs in which students were able to dire ct the ir in te lle c tu a l p u rs u its and ta le n ts in an o rga nize d , competitive fashion. With the emergence of new senior leadership on the math team and with the help of Mr. Pat Reidy, the vitality of the u n d e rcla s s m e n w as cultivated. Seniors Azam Riaz and Robert Rucinski were considered the top two competitors on the Varsity math team. Jin Ha Joung was another top scorer on the JV math team. In the end, V a rs ity m ath p la ce d a disappointing seventeenth, but the JV Team placed a very respectable third. The new moderator of the computer group was Mr. John Ronan. The computer club was divided into two sections. The first section was the Interm ed iate D ivision, in which students took computer lab tests, regulated by the

moderator. Among the leading scorers in the lab section were Robert Rucinski and Tomasz Lukasiak. The second section was the Classroom Division. Tests taken after school were used to determine each person’s proficiency in BASIC and other programming languages. The leading scorers in this field were SatyaTiwari and Sandeep Luke. They helped the computer team place in the league’s top 20. Finally, Mrs. Kristin Dowling became the new moderator of a very successful chess team. With great play from students such as Felix Victorino, Truong Nguyen, and Jack Truehaft, the chess team accom plished a great deal in only its second year of revived competition. The team beat North Arlington in a dual meet and won first place in the novice division of the Greater New York Chess Tournament at Manhattan Community College. The chess team had to beat a highly talented Hudson Catholic squad to place so well in the New York tournament. The academic teams tried their h a rd e s t and s u cceede d in bringing Prep victory and honor, a fitting testimony to the depth of the Prep curricular program.

Their record of 9-9 included a shocking victory over C.B.A., whose Varsity team was state-ranked. Other wins were against Ferris, Lincoln, and rival Hudson Catholic.

Without a doubt, Prep's quadruple-overtime victory over rival Hudson Catholic was the most emotional game of the season. Prep stayed together and managed to keep a slim lead over tbe Hawks until the fourth quarter, when they were forced into the first overtime.

More Than Just Fast Breaks arked by a lack of e x p e rie n c e and familiarity, the ’94-’95 Varsity basketball team had its fair share of ups and downs. After a promising 2-2 start, including a thirty-point demolition of St. Aloysius High School and a third place finish in the Jesuit tournament, the team struggled for the remainder of the season. Despite a 5-15 record overall, many of their losses were heartbreakers by five points or less. Several games slipped away in the last seconds, adding to the frustration felt by players and coaches alike. Much of the frustration came from a la ck of p la y e r experience. The team included only five seniors, three of whom did not complete the season. In addition, only six Varsity players from last year’s team returned, and only one routinely sta rte d . A p p a re n tly , the toughest challenge was the adjustment of the new coaching staff and the players to each o th e r. T he team w as

unaccustom ed to the new s ta ff’s p h ilo s o p h y , w hich e m p h a s iz e d a return to fundamentals. Nevertheless, players appreciated Coach Bob

Ryan’s style. A previous coach of the Hudson Hawks, Coach Ryan brought experience and discipline to the team. He was a ssiste d by C oach Flavio Rubano, also from Hudson C atholic, and Coach Jack Leahy, p re v io u s ly of the Dickinson staff. Together, they tried to build a solid team for years to come.

Despite a rough record, the season was highlighted with some glowing performances from likely and unlikely players. Sophomore phenom Markis Abraham started at point guard and im p ro ve d his play dramatically over the course of the season. A frequent highscorer, Abraham assumed a leadership role for the future. Pulled up from JV, sophomore Jermaine Mercer displayed promise for his future role as a Varsity player too. Junior Pete W illia m s w arm ed up significantly toward the end of the season, scoring fifteen points or more in seven games. He also established himself as a top-notch perimeter shooter. Senior Mike Rivera had two twenty-point games against Bayonne and St. Al’s. Also, juniors Mike Kinahan, Rahsaan King, Kevin Callahan and Adam S upple all had prom ising perform ances, establishing themselves as pivotal players for their senior season.

win proved that the rivalry between the Marauders and the Hawks was far from finished.

After a few quick baskets by Snyder, Head Coach Bob Ryan takes an early tim eout to re group his players and stress team defense. Although they held on for a good portion of the game, the Prep team lost to Snyder 6 6 -4 5 .

Harold Gold went from an average of 180 to one o f 190, and Russell Yap eked up from 190 to 194. This impressive team improvement was a fine example of hard work and team dedication.

While the major league baseball negotiations were stalled, Saint Peter’s Prep’s skillful bowlers had an excellent season, one in which both JV and Varsity again rolled into County Championships.

Fouryearteam member Brian “Bam B am ” M ag arba n had a spectacular 205 average at the championship match. Harold “Solid” Gold, also a four-year veteran, finished the match with a game of 235. Finally, George “the Anim al” Kmec bowled strikes for the first five frames of the first game and finished with a 235. He is said to have

been the saving grace in that match. These three skilled players were in the top ten percent of the division with individual averages all in the 190 range. All five Varsity bowlers went to the all-star game, including junior keglers

S te ve C o m a n d a to re and Russell Yap. Gold was the high-man of the all stars with a 246 average, while Magarban came in at second with a 217. The JV team also did well, finishing 124-2 and taking first place in the division. The Junior Varsity leaders were Robert Scalzo, Rolando Salvador,

C onstantine Dy, Jonathan Lugtu, Tim Sazon, and Mark Lucero who all had averages in the 180s. The JV team was even m ore fo cu se d and consistent than the Varsity. JV bowled over North Bergen with a score of 2971-2120. TheJV team also won the all-star game with fine performances from all four bowlers. Lugtu was the Prep high-man with a 242 a ve ra g e , w h ile S a lva d o r fin is h e d w ith a 192. Dy continued his success with a 186 at the all-star match, and Sazon finished with a score of 156. Under Mr. Z’s watchful eye, both teams scored high and averaged well over 175. All their success did not come easily. It came from the hard work and effort of the team members and coach combined.

With Drummond and Kramer already across the line, Laracy, Dworkin, and Maddox rose to the occasion and came in as the third pack, clinching Prep’s standing as number one. The brilliant performance showed their collective will to win. The Championship was only a p re c u rs o r to upcom ing seasons, though. The closely knit squad was energized by newcomers Brian Onieal, Jose Rodriguez, and T om Egan, who all placed in the top 15 times among freshmen.

Cultural Clubs

Surrounded in a sea of moving bodies, wiping away beads of perspiration: obviously dances would be nothing without music. Part of the reason why Prep dances were so popular was the music and the

Pum p Up th e

DJs. Thanks to the professionalism of Fourth Dimension Productions with seniors Emile Lisboa and Vincent Punsalan, capacity crowds were kept on their feet. The DJs made dances appealing with a wide variety of music ranging from reggae to R&B to salsa. DJs supplied their own equipment and music and were responsible for transporting their gear to the school. The DJs were an important and vital

The committee was also re s p o n s ib le fo r cleaning up the cafeteria after the dance. The first dance in September was the most successful in many years. This was due to

Moderator Mr. Jim Dondero chose chaperones, approved DJs, and made the dance safe for students and their dates. Chris Nubia and Emile Lisboa, co-presidents of the com m ittee, were also in te g ra l m em bers. They supervised and insured that everything ran smoothly at each dance.

TBlhere was music in the air JL and on the roof during opening night of the Prep winter play at St. Peter’s College. As Prep’s musical production went under way, everyone from a cto rs and a c tre s s e s , orchestra, and stage crew to a rtis ts and s o u n d -lig h tin g technicians pooled their efforts in creating Fiddler on the Roof. Under the direction of Mr. Jack Campion and choreographer Lisa Dondero, F iddler was characterized by cooperation, hard work, and ingenuity. F iddler was marked by several strong performances. Steve Rusnak, who played the lead role of Tevye, captivated the audience with his rendition of “ If I Were a Rich Man.” Meghan Johnson, who played his wife Golde, embodied the aura of small village life. Chris McNerney took the role of the simple but kind-hearted tailor M otel. M e lis s a E n riq u e z, Melanie Villaruel, Kathleen d e G o ro s tiz a , and Jam es Pumarada rounded out the leads w ith c o n v in c in g

p e rfo rm a n c e s as T z e ite l, Hodel, Chava, and Perchik. The dramatic and moving roles of Tevye, Golde, and the other leads were balanced with a fine and comical supporting

cast. Doug Facciponti, Cheryl Higgins, Vanessa Fox, Joseph G aliastro, and the chorus enlivened the audience with “Tradition” and a memorably c h o re o g ra p h e d dream sequence. The “Sabbath Prayer” scene was particularly moving as each family slowly gathered around the Sabbath candle.

The actors and actresses were not the only people responsible for the success of Fiddler. The orchestra labored everyday before and after school to produce the musical aspect of Fiddler. Tania Molina supplied the “fiddle” for the fiddler, hilariously played by the sprightly Dharmesh Bharucha. Additional instruments such as John Veltri’s accordion added authenticity to the performance, as did the prayer shawls and othercostumescoordinated by Mrs. Nancy Figur. The stage crew w orked tire le s s ly to produce the wondrous sets and props. W ith th re e s o ld -o u t perform ances, Fiddler was without a doubt a huge success. The theater was so packed that people were lined-up against the walls in order to see the stage. Commented Rodney Reyes, “It was one of the best m u sica ls ever produced during my time at Prep. This was due to the immense talent and love among the cast and crew.”

During rehearsal at the College, Michael Noriega as the Rabbi and Steve Rusnak as Tevye discuss the wedding plans of T evye’s eldest daughter, Tzeitel (Melissa Enriquez) towards the end of the first act. The backdrop represent ed the spectacular mountains that over shadowed the small Russian village of Anatevka. During the w edding dance, Bridget Figur as Sphrintze, a younger daughter of T ev ye, w eaves through the aisle of clapping women. Girls from St. Dom’s, St. Al’s, Academ ic, and Memorial played an im portant role in

Fiddler. including a dynam ite performance by Elaine Donnadio as Yente the matchmaker.

In Scene Four of Fiddler, T evye, Lazar W olf (Doug Facciponti), the Russian soldiers, and the male chorus drink and sing “T o Life” in Mordcha's inn. The scene reaches its clim ax when, after a short running start, Chris Nubia vaults over Vic Suthamm anont’s (Fyedka’s) shoulder and executes a perfect back flip.

r | l he proud tradition that is 1 Prep football begins with the long summer practices for the Freshman and JV football teams. The 1994 Freshman and JV players spent their season looking up to the outstanding Varsity team and hoping that they too would one day be able to play at Giants Stadium. Prep’s newest gridders, the Frosh team, sacrificed hours during the summer and after school to achieve what they wanted: a swift and smooth tra n s itio n to the fo o tb a ll program . W ith the squad s ig n ific a n tly s m a lle r than previous years, the players and Coaches Haveron, Crisalli, Verdi, and Roselle knew that the only way to pull off their goal was through hard work, determination, and a positive attitude. All of these ideals were im pressed upon the players. Pat Buesing and Dan Quiles were the team’s quarterbacks for the season. Despite the sub-.500 season (a record of 3-6), the season was not

but also th e second consecutive shutout.

The JV team had a successful and winning season and also suited up for Varsity gam es fo r o c c a s io n a l a p p e a ra n ce s on fie ld . Compiling a 3-1-1 record under the leadership of Coaches Kelly and W ilkes, the team beat Ferris and Emerson in the same fa sh io n as the freshm en.

C o n s e q u e n tly , 1994-95 became a period of rebuilding. New talent was sought out and trained, and despite its high percentage of underclassmen, the team placed in the top three slots in all its tournaments but one. Although success at a meet is based on a team score, it de p e n d s h e a v ily on the p e rfo rm a n ce of in d iv id u a l m em bers.

Bringing their own experience to the program, moderators Ms. Marie Curry and Mr. Bill Ford both put in long hours coaching, critiquing, and organizing the c o m p e titio n s .

After five years of coaching Prep hockey, Coach Ken Such decided to resign as the Head Coach of the St. Peter's Varsity hockey team. The 2-16 record this past season and the losing records of recent years weren't the primary factor. Coach Such simply decided that he needed a break from

S u c li a

the heavy coaching burden he had juggled as both hockey coach and an assistant coach for Varsity football. His decision was tough to make, but he said that avoiding the overlap of the fall and winter seasons would be a relief. Having previously coached at Hudson Catholic, he will take with him

(o u y n

a career record of 142-95-16, including two Handchen Cup championships. Coach Such noted that

he never could have done it without his dedicated assistants Tom Durak, Joe Vecey, and Scott Hochstaeder, who have always been there when needed.

Prep’s only wins came against Princeton High School and Bayonne. Two seniors’ bright spots came in the Bayonne gam e, h o w e ve r, as M ike McCabe scored twice and Jon

Gonnelli netted five goals. The squad did com pete in the playoffs and fought hard against B ergen C a th o lic . They developed a proud character,

despite many criticisms from local newspapers and other hockey teams in the area, as they played their hearts out and believed in each other throughout the season. Coach Ken Such, in his fifth year as head coach of the Varsity team, described the season as being “filled with adversity, but a good learning experience for the younger players.” He noted that solid performances by juniors Kris W ehrhahn, Jason McGurk, Angelo Kakolyris, and goalie Steven Boyd prepared them to take on le a d e rsh ip roles. Sophom ore Joe LoRe and freshmen Ryan Enrico, Kevin Fitzpatrick, and Kevin Mulligan also earned the opportunity for more playing time and began to look toward the National Conference B Championship in 1996.

The cancellation of the City Championships because of insurance problems and a less than satisfactory performance at the Coaches County meet did not hinder the team in any lasting way. The team used these setbacks to drive them harder in theirpursuitforvictory. Their determination and hard work finally paid off in the County Championships. Under the leadership of Angelo Abbatemarco for the sprinters, Paul Laracy for the d ista n ce run n ers, Ram on Varonaforthe throwing events, and Joseph Roarty for the field events, the indoor track team took first-place honors at the County Championships, a feat they had longed for for seven

years. James Souder placed first in the fifty-five meters and fo u r hundred m eters w ith

personal best tim es of 6.5 seconds and 50.8 seconds respe ctive ly. His yearlong success earned him an AllCounty spot for both the four hundred meters and long jump. Joe Roarty placed first in the high jump with a height of 5’8”, which earned him an All-County distinction as well. The track team proved that

they were a force to be dealt with. “A spirit of determination to accomplish what they wanted to do in their events” as well as “the faith they had in each other” led to their victory, according to A s s is ta n t C oach R odney Alejandro. W in n in g the C o u n ty Championships was really the turning point for the team. The visible faith the team members had in each other proved that a real team spirit had developed. Through the Championship, a collective soul had formed where teammates cared even more for each other. The counties, in short, were the pinnacle for the team where “everyone believed in each other.” With only a few seniors on the roster, the team still found itself in the developing stages. Winning the County Championships, though, could not have been a better incentive for upcoming years.

Many d iffe re n t teams, ranging from freshmen to faculty members, competed in the 1995 three-on-three basketball tournament. But by far the most popular of any of these teams was th a t composed o f Principal Jack Raslowsky, Father Tony Azzarto, and Father 7 « &

Rick R aulli who vastly improved over th e ir previous year's performance.

Many

students may have thought these men would be suffering from a few minor aches and wou^ be lacking some of the s k ills they once had, but before a packed gym, this theory was quickly disproven when they defeated Harry Carpenter, Mike Petruska, and Mike Chanfrau in a squeaker, 21-19. Their victory allowed them to advance into the second round where, despite th e ir popularity, they were eventually elim inated by Mike Kinahan, Joe Green, and Drew B roderick.

f members (athletes or not) a chance to compete and have fun was the cornerstone of the intramurals program. Homerooms fielded teams for both volleyball and basketball. Due to the construction work on the library and weight room early on, the courtyard was unavailable for football. It was dropped from the schedule and replaced by volleyball. Once again intram urals a llo w e d all s tu d e n ts to participate, except athletes on the sport during their season. Even the less athletically gifted took part and got a chance to help th e ir te a m s. The homerooms were gridded into single elimination tournaments and played, as always, during lunch. Team s were often coached by Prep players in their particular sport, adding to a team’s chances at those ever popular championship T-shirts. Intramurals also offered non p a rtic ip a tin g s tu d e n ts an alternative to staying in the cafe, and during each lunch period Q \ CO-CURRICULARS

fans were scattered throughout the bleachers. A lso, two teachers were just as dedicated to the program as the students. Coach Tony Crisalli and Mr. Joe Massarelli refereed the

games. Mr. Maz, a part-time basketball referee away from campus too, gave up his lunch to o fficia te the basketball tourney, and Coach Crisalli called lines and scored the volleyball games. Homerooms went head-tohead in friendly competition during 5A and 5B throughout the year. The best teams were

always favored to win, although there were occasional surprise challenges, as when frosh homerooms 1C and 1D gave a scare to senior homerooms 4C and 4D in th e v o lle y b a ll competition. In addition to intramurals, Coach Crisalli lent his time to organizing and playing in the school-w ide three-on-three tournam en t to benefit the Mission Drive. Students and faculty alike puttogetherteams and donated three dollars apiece to play. Of all the teams th a t e n te re d th e 1995 tournament, two proved to be dominant in play. One team, Mr. Massarelli, Mr. John Irvine, and Markis Abraham, were favored to win it all going in. The other team was Mr. Owen Haveron, Pete Williams, and Gerry McDermott. Mr. Haveron only added to the anticipation by stating “I have no intention of losing.” Oh well. Their march to victory was ended by a team of seniors, Jason Russo, Mike Rivera, and Paul Rakoski, who went on to become the champs.

Throughout the next year staffers and editors alike put in hours after school to produce this book. Despite the occasional break or day off, the ‘95 Petrean: Some A s s e m b ly R e q u ire d was produced through the constant

hard w ork of w rite rs, photographers, and design and computer specialists covering every aspect of Prep life. The most significant change from previous years was the increased use of computers. Previous yearbook staffs designed l a y o u t s manually, w hich was tim e-consum ing and left a wide margin for error. An early goal of this year was to design 25% of the book th ro u g h desktop publishing. Led by the know how of computer editor Stephen Kayiaros, however, the entire book was done on computer.

Pressing issues 1 very several weeks there w as a s u rp ris e in homeroom folders: the latest issue of the Petroc. On these special days, people rushed right into the articles they felt were the m ost im po rtan t, whether it was the news about the g re a t P rep F o o tb a ll Championship, or maybe the a rticle about the G erm an E xchange s tu d e n ts w ho changed student life at Prep for several weeks in the spring, or perhaps to see the latest Top Ten List written by senior John Thorpe. In any case, the Pefrocserved as a huge source of general information, honor, and news for Prep. There was just one little problem. Many times people merely read the papers, failing to understand the many hours of writing, d e s ig n in g , and d e c is io n making that went into each issue. Under the supervision of Mr. Jim DeAngelo, the Petroc staff distributed a total of seven issues to Prep students during the year.

students, coaches, and even th e c a fe te ria la d ie s. A fterw ards, the com pleted articles had to be transferred into column form. Before or after school, staff members typed the pieces into the com puter in the new-andimproved Publications Center in H204, and editors polished

the format and grammar before shipping thefinalproductto the printer in Alabama. One w a lk in g by Mr. DeAngelo’s room any day after school might have seen writers revising their articles or editors sprawled out on a floor covered with papers. There were certain

obstacles that created minor delays in keeping up with the deadlines, but the expertise of th e e d ito rs and o th e r industrious workers helped the PetrocXo progress in an efficient and positive direction. The layout editors, Tomasz Lukasiak and Jin Ha Joung, created a unique and innovative style of design formatting. The Petroc also increased its paper size, altered its masthead, and provided fresh Opinions and Features sections. With the use of cartoons and artwork, the P e tro c added m uch creativity to its pages. Tom Lukasiak explained the purpose of this change very readily. “We were hoping for feedback from the student body at Prep.” Always employing articulate, honest, and strong writers, the Pefrocmanaged to inform Prep students of current events and sig n ific a n t happe nings all around the school. Features editor Edgardo Nieves claimed, “We as editors have been e x te n s iv e ly co m m itte d to keeping up the P e tro c ’s tradition of being this school’s finest masterpiece.”

His

the

ODDS JV Soccer Surpasses Expectations roken arms, pulled muscles, and shin splints were just some of the problems that the JV soccer team had to contend with. Mike Fromfield replaced Rich Cirminello as coach, so the players also had to get used to a new coaching style. The team was also very young, made up predominantly of freshmen with only a few sophomores and one junior. Fortunately, the team was able to tackle these challenges and have a great season. The highlight of the season was the county tournament. Sophomores Brian Crimmins, Sean McNally, Kevin Moran, and Mike Zevotek sacrificed their positions as forwards and midfielders to strengthen the defense. Freshmen Andrew Gray, Pat McDermott, Rob Jordan, and sophomores Lance Visone and Todd Bura also played defense. The midfield was composed of Jeff Connors, John Guevara, Mike Mara, A n th o n y P o rte lli, Joe Percontino, John Merson, John R o d rig u e z, and B rian McKenna. At forward were Pietro Barberi, Jorge Oyola, Ryan Prime, Darrow DeLuca, Ed K illile a, and Jonathan

Foster-Moore. The season began with a one-and-a-half-hour drive down the shore to Ocean County. T h e re the team played B rickto w n H igh S chool.

Unfortunately, none of the team’s shots went into the net, and the game ended with a s c o re le s s tie . H ow ever, freshman John Rodriguez left everyone in awe with his great skill as a goal keeper. As the season progressed, the team improved. They beat team s such as Dickinson, H oboken, and, of course, school rival Hudson Catholic. The offensive shooting and ball control got better. The defense

m an-to-m an m arking was refined. The team’s biggest gam e of the season was against Union Hill, when Miles Twaddell scored the gamewinning goal in the last minutes of the game. This win allowed the team to advance to the s e m i-fin a ls of the county tournament. Freshmen Joe Percontino and John Merson scored, and Sean McNally and K evin M oran played exceptional defense to defeat Lyndhurst and move into the finals. North Bergen was waiting for them. Despite a valiant effort by all those who played, Prep lost by a score of three to one. Jonathan Foster-Moore had the only goal for the team, and, despite the loss, Jim Birch played a great game at goalie. O ve ra ll, the JV had an excellent season. They were not as highly polled as the Varsity team was, nor were they expected to go as far as theydid. Theteam will continue to play in their upperclass years, so they expect to keep getting better as they progress as a team.

r i l he odds were against the 1994 soccer team as they opened up their season, even though the news polls touted them as the team to beat. Five of the squad’s key players from last year had graduated, and there were only three returning starters from the previous season. The team wanted to live up to the polls and take first place, a feat made all the more difficult because the rest of the league was looking to defeat them. The team had practiced for months underthe leadership of Co-Captains Gino D’Addario and Josh Jantas, and, guided by 1993 HCIAA Coach of the Year John Irvine, they felt up to the task at hand. The team started out slow, dropping a loss to Union Hill and tying Brick. Then, letting their true colors emerge, the team was able to rebound with five consecutive victories, two of w h ich w ere a g a in s t powerhouses North Bergen and Bayonne. Prep was finally

getting the respect it deserved. A tough loss to Emerson dropped Prep down to fourth place in the league, presenting another setback. The team

once again shook off the loss and began another winning streak, one which made them City Champions by beating Hudson Catholic. That earned them a berth in the Hudson County Tournament. As the fourth-place seed, Prep rolled over number-five seed North Bergen and then Bayonne to

get to the finals. There Prep had to play Emerson yet again. St. Peter’s had beaten Emerson only twice in their last thirteen meetings, so the squad had their work cut out for them. Prep got out in front early with a Mark Struk goal, and held the score to 1-0 until the second half. It was then that Emerson scored a fluke goal and forced the game into overtime. With Prep wanting to waste no more time in capturing the county title, Mark Messenger headed in the decisive goal. The state tournament was a slightly less happy tale. The team lost to Bergen Catholic in the first round, dashing their hopes for a state title. Despite this, the team had earned their third straight county title, as well as a city championship.

On Saturday, December 10, thirteen single-sex Catholic schools participated in the first-ever Student Council Convocation. Organized by the Prep Student Council, the event was held in the cafeteria and included such diverse schools as St. Dom's, Xavier, and Fordham Prep. Its purpose

M T

was to improve relations between student governments of various schools. The Prep Student Council hoped to learn from other schools to improve their role in school life, in activities, and in working with

the administration. The day began with an introductory speech from president William Musto, who

/ ( M

l l r V

welcomed the representatives and set some goals for the day. Then they broke into small groups, discussed their roles in their respective schools, and looked for ways to improve methods and activities. Secretary

/ iu m

Paul Laracy said, "Personally, I learned a lot about other schools' councils." The convocation, which lasted about four hours, was a success with other students as well. The day ended on a high note with a large lunch from Blimpie's, courtesy of Prep. As everyone was packing up to leave, Erin Mullen from Mt. St. Dominic's commented, " I’m glad I came. It was good to find out what other schools are like."

Men M k J hile many students went home after the 2:30 bell, a select group of 24 stu dents sacrificied their tim e once a month to improve the quality of student life. This year, the Student Council ran a wide spectrum of activities. In order to stimulate excite ment about the Walkathon, the council offered a few new in centives. In a bold manuever, th e c o u n c il a s k e d M r. Raslowsky to don a clown suit if the student body raised over $10,000 in the first few days. Another factor that led to the high cash total was the new prizes ordered through the campus shop. The council also created the first-ever Mission Drive Royal Rumble, a tag-team event in which representatives from many clubs and teams partici pated in a variety of fun and messy competitions. Although the Walkathon was clearly their most suc cessful activity, the council also organized several other events and fundraisers with other schools. Continuing the

Prep stu dents received candy and suckers from St. Al’s Academy too. Furthering their relation ship with other schools, finally,

a student council symposium was held in the Prep cafe on December 10. As a goal for this year, orga nization was stressed in a number of media. Council meetings were held regularly on the second Monday of ev ery month and were included on the school calendar to in crease public awareness. The meetings also followed a spe cific agenda. This way, pro posals and student problems were addressed as soon as they turned up. A “phase-in period” was in stituted due to the lack of coun cil effectiveness during the fi nal weeks of school in years past. This allowed newly ap pointed officers to phase-in gradually to their new roles during the spring. About the year, president Bill Musto remarked, “I think that we made a lot of strides this year. We worked on forming a good foundation for making the council more present at Prep. I think we did a good job on setting the standard for years to come.”

Before the student council convo cation com mences, St. Dom’s vicepresident Nora Campbell introduces herself to freshman president David Kirby and council secretary Paul Laracy. A fter the meeting, Campbell commen ted that “it was a productive interaction of Catholic school m inds.” Listening attentively to the day’s agenda, soptanore coundhnen Rob Scalzo, Bryan Khan, Mark Jurado and John Falcicchio silently prepare their thoughts for the upcoming discussion.

Throughout the year, more difficult dives were required to compete in the State Sectional tournament and County Championship. Coach Mike Cavalier '75 and assistant Billy Santomauro '89 taught the divers to improve their form, grace, and position. Each competitor was required to learn a total of six dives to compete in most meets, but a total of eleven dives for the State Sectional tournament and County Championship. The eleven dives included two dives from each of the five categories: forward, back, inward, reverse, and twist, plus one optional dive from any category. Each diver progressed through the season and was satisfied with his personal progress. The divers' dedication was evident in their results, with Crimmins placing second in County competition, Nubia third, Bingham in fifth, and Yazici in seventh. In the State Sectional tournament sophomore Brian Crimmins qualified to attend the State Diving Championship, a rare feat for Prep made possible by his strong placing with dives of advanced difficulty.

Truong Nguyen, Mike Stack, and Kevin Calabrese among others. On the way to the Lyndhurst hot spot, Calabrese got lost and arrived after everyone else had settled in to their seats. To the chagrin of black knight fan Leon Colao, the club received the omnipotent green knight as their warrior for the night. The green knight stomped all over the competition, right up until he lost. Even so, in their own words, the club "loved him anyway." By far the highlight of the night was when Tom Curtin cajoled the so-called "serving wenches" into believing that Stack was using utensils, a grave violation of the rules punishable only by hanging. Authorities frisked him thoroughly, but found no foreign objects. In the immortal words of John Pompilio, "My favorite part was the free paper crown." Indeed it was.

Future Mat -ters r | l he extremely demanding M. physical requirements of one-on-one confrontatio ns required rigorous conditioning of the mind and body. The skills that the JV wrestling team m em bers acquired during strenuous practice sessions e n able d them to fa ce successfully the numerous tournaments of a challenging season.

There, the young Prep matmen gained an understanding of their great potential. The team continued to trium ph in com petitions a g a in s t New P ro vid e n ce , Essex Catholic, Delbarton,and Livingston.

Although the team victories were shared by the entire squad, many of the participants were recognized individually for theirexcellencetoo. Davellaria won first place at the St. Benedict’s Tournament, and Gerry lorio earned second that same day. In an interscholastic JV tournament held at North Bergen late in the season, both C hris Larsen and Kevin DiGiorgio placed third in their respective weight classes. By o ffe rin g each o ther guidance during practice sessions and supporting each other regardless of victory or loss, the members were able to overcome the challenges of the sport, achieve individual success, and win matches. Together they built up a strong future squad.

K in g s ^ M at r g i wo men, in a circle, on a mat. No time-outs, no breaks between rounds, no rest. To step on that mat was a sheer test of will. For one man there was no tomorrow, and for the other it was just another step on a long road to a championship. Many had said that Prep wrestling was the most physically demanding wintersport. They were wrong. Wrestling was single combat, and to believe anything else was a sure way to end up counting lights. Coach Keith Kelly had stated on many occasions that the 1994-95 team was the best in Prep’s history. It was, by far, the finest yet in qualifying for the State Tourney and in dual meets, having only one loss after the regular season. Led by Co-Captains Anthony Verdi and P.J. Rakoski, the team combined for a total of only one loss in the regular season, and one in the state semi-finals. They amassed a spectacular record of 11 -2. Both captains advanced from the districts to the regional tournam ent at Passaic Valley High.

Q \ CO -CURRICULARS

The main factor behind the team’s success, however, was the outstanding performances fro m m any Prep sta rs. Newcom er sensation Dave N agy d o m in a te d the heavyweight class with only four regular season losses and a win at the consolations over

Anthony Luaces of Kearny. A ga in st W eequahic, Nagy came within a second of the Prep record for the fastest pin, held by Assistant Coach Dan Gronda‘90at7seconds. Fouryear veteran Rob Paz had outstanding matches against North Bergen, Barringer, and Wood-Ridge but suffered a

tough loss at the d is tric t quarterfinals. Dave Tobias, M ike M e d ra n o , and Joe Tramutolo all advanced to the d is tric t se m i-fin a ls. Mike M onaco, w ho posted an undefeated record until he lost to North Bergen, again met M ike C ie c k ie w ic z at the districts. Javier Diaz, Dave Maria, Mike Petruska, and Eric Tobias also contributed clutch wins throughout the season. After strong showings in the Wayne Hills and Ridgefield tourneys, the wrestling team went on to dominate in regular season dual meets. Such crushing scores as 69-6,63-8, and 48-24 often graced the timekeeper’s table after the Marauders left the mat. The rigors of practice had brought this team close in the cold winter months. Coming into school seven days a week, and training like men possessed, built a determination and desire that could be easily seen on the face of any Prep wrestler. Wrestling was not a sport, but a duel; this was not a team, but a brotherhood.

Sneering in triumph, pwehouse Dave Nagy incapaci tates his opponent in a smothering floor pin. Despite his relative inexper ience, Nagy quickly established him self as a force to be reckoned with, earning the secondfastest pin in Prep history at 8 seconds against Weequahic.

Grappling for leverage against a Plainfield wrestler, four-year veteran Rob Paz struggles to find an opening. Paz had a great season at 160 lbs. before dropping to 153 and losing a tough match to Mike Miller o f Cliffside Park at the District 16 quarter finals.

Prep is built around people like these. Without them, Prep would just be bricks and mortar, no different from any other buildings. Instead, it is a vibrant community of administrators, coaches, faculty, and students. These are the people with whom lifelong memories are as sembled. The frequent visits of alumni year after year are testament to that It is these people that Prep is all about For years the top people in their respective professions have committed themselves to advising, coaching, instructing, and mold ing Prep men. Our community is also remarkably diverse. People of all major religions attend Prep. Every race is represented in the Prep population as well. Its members are from all over New Jersey and New York. Many were bom in various parts of the country and the world.

It is this

diversity that makes Prep great, a place where peoples from different cultures can come together to share their talents, becoming part of Prep’s long history of excellence in education and service. Some faces are new, some are preparing to leave, but they are all part of Prep and its people, part of its continuous assembly of outstanding young men. These are the people who build.

n September, a new era began: the era of Father James F. Keenan, SJ. Replacing Father James Joyce, SJ, Fr. Keenan became Prep’s 25th President. A previous president of Canisius, McQuaid, and Xavier High Schools, Fr. Keenan brought years of experience to the presi dency. Fr. Keenan was supported by a solid Vice-President in Mr. Jim Horan. Mr. Horan ’70, who has been at Prep for twenty years, also taught a journalism course at Prep and was present at almost all Prep functions. Prep’s first lay principal, Mr. Jack

Raslowsky ’79, was in his third year of the term. Besides making major contributions to running the school, some seniors were surprised to find him teaching their Con temporary Issues course. Mr. Raslowsky received a lot of help from the next-door office of the VicePrincipal, Mr. Patrick Reidy. Mr. Reidy took care of all things academic. He put together student and faculty schedules and coordinated the honors assemblies. Even with his administrative work, Mr. Reidy still made time to moderate a win ning math team.

Students and teach ers relied on these helpers for a clean atmosphere and the school’s spotless sheen. Other important people who rarely got the recognition they deserved were the cafeteria workers.

PARENTS rep’s family is a diverse one, ranging from students to faculty to staff and even to parents. Parents?! One might ask where the parents fit in. Al though they deserve more praise, parents of Prep students have helped the school in many ways. Thanks to this year’s rejuve nated Parents’ Association, the parents who usually stay behind the scenes began getting the exposure they deserve. The Executive Committee, consisting of Mrs. Linda Kost, Mrs. Jackie Supple, Mrs. Ginny Moe, Mr. Stanley Beldowicz, Mr. Ed Garcia, Mrs. Margaret Tiffner, Mrs. Kathy Ackerman, Mrs. Doris Rucinski, Mr. John Skripak, Mrs. Mary Ann Petersen, and Mrs. Gina Wassong, was responsible for

many events that allowed parents to come together without their sons and to enjoy themselves. The group was here to “foster good relationships, friendships, and communi cation,” said Mrs. Supple, “as well as to serve the school.” This was evident in the events run by the Parents’ Association, such as the informal cookout at the begin ning of the year and the elegant Fashion Show and luncheon in the fall.

For years, teachers have been spreading tales of strange noises and supernatural occurred in the school. Mysterious footsteps, ghastly music, even floating objects have allegedly b reported by faculty and maintenance staff alike. Upperclassmen have always considered th nothing more than hoaxes, yams thought up to scare timid freshmen. But one bizarre story f a credible faculty member (we'll call him Mr. Smith) interested some members of the Cl of '95. About two years ago, Mr. Smith was working in his classroom late at night grai papers. After an hour of tireless red-inking, he left his classroom to make some photocop As he was unlocking the door to the faculty lounge, he noticed someone walking down the in Hogan from the comer of his eye. Believing a fellow teacher was also working after hoi he shouted a greeting. There was no reply. Curious and confused, Mr. Smith started down hall but stopped dead in his tracks. His face turned a pallid shade of white as he watched "someone" fade into nothingness at the foot of the stairway. Puzzled, he raced down the st to the first floor. There was no one around, and all the doors were locked. He searched third floor, but there was no one around there either. Had Mr. Smith been mistaken, or he truly seen a ghost? We wanted the truth. If there was a ghost haunting Hogan, we figured it was our right know. So one night four of us stayed late pretending to finish the Community Section. 0 our advisor had retired for the evening, we embarked on our mission. We took some flashlii and walked up and down the main building. We scoured classrooms, closets, and stairways any sign ofa paranormal presence. After two hours of no re The others left to get the car, leaving me behind to lock up th the keys, I heard the hallway door creak open. Expecting to I cautiously poked my head out the office doorway. A bitterly cold draft swept something unexplainable happened. A voice cried out from behind the walls, "Help me, an eerie tone. Justifiably frightened, I ran from the hall screaming in terror.

Recent economic pn have forced him to raise the price from a buck to a buck and a quarter, but his dogs are si best. During recess and lunch, a flock of students, construction workers, and an assortm pedestrians cheerfully wait in a mile-long line for a bite. Whether you like them plain or with Sam is the man for a dynamite dog. Lately, however, Sam has been experiencing some comp from an unlikely newcomer: Freddy.

Afier all, Freddy was not stealing any business from Perhaps Sam put it best when he said, "As long as he [Freddy] is not here while I'm here, is no quarrelling." Are those fighting words?

The construction on the English Building affected school life in all sorts of The traffic up the stairway slowed to a crawl, causing quite a few unlucky stu to visit the JUG room after school. The community became accustomed t hammers and drills that accompanied the assembly of the new library. Unr to this disruption, but adding to the overall sense of confusion, was the rearra of teachers1 classrooms to insure a unique mixture of faculty. Students' rea were voiced in the newspaper. The opinions of faculty, however, seemed to been left out. This is what they had to say... Mrs. Bernadette Costanzo, teacher of French and Spanish to sophomores, juniors, and si ha/ been very active in Prep co-curriculars. She moderated the National Honor Society, the National Honor Society, the French Club, and the Asian Club. As a result of the shift classes, her room was moved from the second floor of Hogan to the third floor of the I Building. She reflected, "I don't mind the changes, but I would rather have the (aea< departments together. It's hard to discuss with each other now." She continued, “A problem is the bathroom. With the construction going on, it's difficult to go from bi to building [while the English Building is without facilities].'' Another teacher who had similar experiences with the move was Mrs. Pat O'Grady. changing her own commitments to include freshman and sophomore religion, as well a Genesis 9 program and guidance-counseling duties, Mrs. O'Grady moved from the E Building to second Hogan. She felt that the change was appropriate and that the mixti faculty of various departments was productive. Having been in the English Building foi years, Mrs. O'Grady enjoyed discussing school matters with different teachers. "This bi is more convenient... and the bathroom is close by," she said. Overall, faculty displayed a positive reaction to the new class arrangement. Althoi limited departmental cooperation at first, the arrangement gave teachers the chance to and greet new faculty members. And when the elevator and the bathroom were completed, then few complaints - at least until they are all moved again.

Under the new management of M r. Roland Jones, the Prep band achieved ambitious goals. Fully supported by the administration, M r. Jones reorgan the band from top to bottom. He started the year by reviewing some basi composition and rhythm. His stricter rules and high expectations encour band members to reach their fullest musical potential. Returning members conscious that the quality and organization of the band was improving beyond own expectations. A significant but realistic goal was to get the band more involved. They a positive factor in the success of the championship Varsity football team, played at every home football game from the bleachers, leading the crowd i Fight Song, and they even brought their own am plifier motor to Giants Stad They adopted the role of head orchestra for the Prep production of F iddler oi Roof. Led by President J e ff Bayard and Vice President Robert Rucinski, band members also played at school liturgies. They performed two concerts du the year. The Christmas Concert delivered some favorite yuletide ca accompanied by the S t. Dom's Choir, while the Spring Concert included a mix of classical composition and modern tunes. Unlike other students, most band members remained in the same homei for their four-year tenure at Prep. This brought the band closer together group. J e ff Bayard called the band a "fam ily." Unfortunately, the family missing an important member during most of the year. When sophomore Spataro was hospitalized, the band was crushed. They dedicated the year to brother-in-arms, and promised a good one. They delivered, and the band eme as a strong, more harmonious presence in Prep life .

They have been assembled in cooperation with teachers, faculty, and staff, learning skills they can apply later in life. Prep is a foundation, a starting point in their lives as adults. They have taken the tools they gained to make Prep a better place. In their fourth year, they take the last step toward becoming the complete Prep man, the ideal of our philosophy. In the community, they are the team leaders, peer advisors, and eucha ristic ministers. Along with teachers and Jesuits, they guide the school spiri tually. They have survived the academ ics, completing all the requirements for each step. They are also the captains, presidents, and editors of various sports, clubs, and publications.

seniors are the most recognized faces in the crowd, the sJ confident motivators who make Prep an interel ing and lively place. Senior year is often demanding too, but! rewards are far greater than test grades a| college recommendations. Writing a Cai pion paper the night before it is due a getting a halfway decent grade a we later is just as important as meeting I j Noga and Mr. Sabedra at the Noil Bergen game. Asking questions a) j getting a feel for the class is oflij more beneficial than acing every n I and quiz. In addition, the many choices tt I face seniors range from choosing electives to pi41 ing the right friends. Dodging JUG, missing the bifl going crazy at the rallies: they are all important. These what make Prep not only a school, but a community. AM seniors are the final products, the leaders of the comnfl nity. Somewhere along the line, the Prep experience tuifl students into Prep men. Seniors are evidence of what Prfl has to offer, what Prep can do for men as students aif people.

1995 Petrean

On a serene Saturday morning offshore in the Atlantic, the sun struggles to break through the stormy clouds. In a similar way, we also struggle to break past the obstacles and barriers that stand in our way. As the year winds down to its final moments, shelves are cleaned, rooms are stripped, and bags are packed only to be re-assembled three months later. For seniors it is the last hurrah as they go on to new challenges and opportunities.

After a grueling soccer game, Matt Klarmann and Gino Dâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Addario exit the field already looking ahead to the next match. They promised the school a county title and delivered, proving that goals were meant to be reached and records meant to be broken.
