Volume 82

ERGINGl "Thus they even carried the sick out into the streets and laid them on cots and mats so that when Peter came by, at least his shadow might fall on one or another of them." Acts 5:15 "Sub Umbra Petri" translates to "Un der the shadow of Peter." Prep men have been living and learning under this same shadow for over 130 years. St. Peter's pro tective and guiding shield may seem over whelming to freshmen; they have all felt lost in Prep's halls at one time or another. W ithout a real sense of purpose, they can relate to a shadow that lacks a definitive identity. How ever, as high school progresses they begin to form their own "shadow " by increased in volvement in Prep. During sophomore and ij

junior years the shadows of their class grow I closer with each day spent together at Prep After three years filled with flashes of bril liance and struggles in "darkness" they finally become seniors who fully emerge from the shade of St. Peter. This coming of age extends its reaches far beyond that of Grand & W ar ren. Spanning the globe, Peter's shadow has been increasing its magnitude via Prep men since 1872.

The Humanities Building looms over the courtyard as students change classes. Fr. O'Brien, S.J. reflects on the events o f September 11th at the Memorial Service.

J L . rom Freshman Olympics to Father Azzarto's religion class to the "time-honored" tradition of Prep Day, freshmen immediately delve into the communal aspects of St. Peter's umbrage. W riting mission statements on the Sophomore Day of Retreat, fulfilling Chris tian service, and playing basketball during Sophomore N ight provide opportunities for personal and social maturation. Emmaus unifies the spirits of juniors and reinforces the bonds of community. Celebrating the tran sition from junior to senior year, The Ring Mass and Junior Prom foreshadow a year of increased responsibilities. In senior year leadership roles both inside and outside the classroom catalyze the emergence of indi vidual penumbras from Prep. Senior Prom, Baccalaureate Mass, and Graduation pre seniors Brian Maiiov, Mike Wieners, and Jo seph DiCiovmnl read and study in the y fj, brary.

pare the class to share the "unforgettable gifts" Prep has given. Shadows can serve as a history of students and of Prep. Upperclassmen dwell in the shadows of former principal, Mr. Jack Raslowsky and the last graduating class. In the past years, shadows of previous students, teachers, and faculty have added a piece of themselves to the collective entity of St. Peter's shadow. These recent additions to Peter's penumbra provide a wider range for both growth and development.

Students can appreciate this great vlBM from the A rt Studio.

A s ha do w c an no t exist w ith o u t a source of light. Symbolically, this light can rep足 resent G od, the source of all light, truth and beauty, and it manifests itself through various mediums; such vehicles of illumination rein足 force the Jesuit tradition of "seeing G od in all things." The w orld has been experiencing this presence in Jesus, in the H oly Spirit, in saints, in family, and in friends. However, this lumi足 nance has been shinin g upon students through teachers, faculty, and brothers of the past, present, and future. To many, Prep has been the ultimate source of G od's light; in turn, this light casts the shadow of St. Peter upon all who a llow themselves to experience it. This yearbook has "em erging from the shadow" as its theme; however, one cannot emerge and cast his own shadow without taking a piece of St. Peter's with him.

Providing students with the skills to un derstand and interpret the natural world, studies in the field of science maintain the well-rounded education offered by Prep. The variety of scientific subjects en ables students to better comprehend the bio log ica l, chemical and physical as pects of the universe. Naturally, a complete understanding of concepts requires laboratory experi ments as a supplement to the lessons taught in the classroom. This hands-onresearch not only challenges students in the learning process, but also grants them a practical understanding of scientific hy potheses. The dedicated department staff is comprised of Biology, Chemistry, Phys ics, and G eo scien ce teachers. M r. Z a w isto w ski, M r. C rosby, and Ms.

Senior Denis Eagan reminisces, "W hether dissecting a frog in biology, blowing up hydrogen filled balloons in chemistry or messing around with slinkys and hot wheels in physics, science has always been my favorite subject."

Whether learning Espanol, reading Francais, speaking Deutsch or discovering Italiano, one of the most unique and ben eficial experiences a Prep student has in his Prep career lies in his study of a Mod ern Language. Under the expert leadership of depart ment chairperson Senora Garcia, teach ers Senorita Walsh, Herr DeAngelo and Si gnora Romano provide students with nec essary lessons in the mastery of a lan guage. New teachers Senor Thomson and Monsieur Beaudette add life to each of their classes. Entering his sophomore year, a student can choose amongst the great languages of Spanish, German, Italian, or French. Grammatical rules, intense vocabulary memorization and speech formation remain crucial in the study of each tongue. In their

second year of language, students develop their linguistic talents through an increased stress on culture. Seniors may continue pur suing a modern language through honors or Advanced Placement classes. Beyond the classroom, students display their love of these foreign cultures through other activities. The popularity of the LatinAmerican society, French Club, German Club, and Italian Club act as a testament to the interest of blossoming international scholars. Perhaps the most exciting aspects of the language department, the German, Italian, and French exchanges, and the Spanish trip to Salamanca allow for a real process of cultural diffusion. At the end of this long journey, these scholars marvel at how they have learned a whole new culture and expanded dimen sions to their own traditions as well.

Ms. Baber enlightens her freshman into the illustrious Latin language. Entertaining the students, Ms. Meyer re足 counts the tales o f Roman conquests in Germannia.

In addition to Latin, Ms. Lochbrunner teaches the Greek language to Prep students. Mr. Knittel discusses the dative case with his freshman class.

F in d in g N e r o "Odi et amo...” The love affair between men of Prep and their classics department has created a tumultuous relationship. While certainly one of the more enjoyable facets of the Prep, learning a classical language often becomes a lost art for most students. Keeping true to the Jesuit tradition, teach ers educate scholars in the arts of dead languages. From "Puella sub arbore sedet" to "Arma virumque camo," Latin has mystified and perplexed students for years. New teach ers Mr. Riordan, SJ. and Mr. Knittel join Ms. Meyer, Ms. Spano, and Ms. Baber in the instruction of this ancient tongue. The curriculum includes the reading of such mythological works as the Aeneid and the Odyssey. A comprehensive study of Roman history provides a practical application of the Latin language. The recently reinstated

Greek program, taught by Ms. Lochbrunner, brings another ancient favorite to select jun iors and seniors this year. In discovering the cultures associated with their respec tive languages, students create a founda tion to facilitate their exploration of the Romance and English languages. Students admit that the classes tend to get frustrating when they realize that they are speaking a language which has been obsolete for over the course of a millen nium. However, the work pays off eventu ally with the thrill of deciphering trouble some vocabulary on the PSATs and SATs such as "deleterious" and "ululation." Whether the area of study spans from two years to four, there exists one guarantee: the world of Catallus, Caesar, and the lov able Cornelii family will surely linger in our minds for years to come.

Supplying profound insight, Mr. Riordan, SJ. responds to a student question. Ms. Spano goes over corrections to a sopho more Latin test.

"A good ai tist takes a mistake and turns it into an idea9' The vibrant diversity that has enriched the Prep community and history reflects an often overlooked aspect of the institution. The Fine Arts Department helps the Prep com munity to discover this multi-faceted culture. Whether as a freshman enrolled in the In troduction to Art class or as a senior taking the History of Rock & Roll class, Prep stu dents immerse themselves in the snapshots and sounds of the world. Ms. Hellstrom, department chairperson, along with Ms. Yost, firm believer and preacher of the quote above, breathe life into a student's eyes and hands through the art of sculpture, photography, and paint ing. Led by the music man himself, Mr. Caslowitz, the various bands create a fit ting soundtrack to accompany a life at Prep. Students and faculty alike can view the countless portraits, paintings, and pictures hung in the library, as well as listen to the

band at football games or the winter and spring concerts. One could even say that art and music represent "the soul" of Prep life. Band di rector Mr. Caslowitz says, "Building a foun dation on which students can freely express themselves is the purpose and goal of the Music and Art department." The Prep stu dent enhances his curriculum with every stroke of the brush and every note played. For a program in it's infancy a decade ago, nurtured by Ms. Hellstrom since then, it has grown to educate men of Prep and give them tools to either pursue or simply under stand the art, music, and beauty surround ing students each day. There exists no single way to teach a person how to see and hear life, but thanks to the Fine Arts Depart ment, a student can discover the bounds which his eyes and ears can reach and then shatter.

ne Team: throughout the season, every piece of the giant puzzle fit into a singular mosaic. All portions of the collage worked perfectly. A mere word summarizes Prep football, from its offensive units, to its defensive stands, to its dedicated fans: one. Bishop Francis Essex C atholic p ro vid e d a welcomed boost to the team that lost Joe Dailey '0 3 and other graduated players. These new additions became integral members of the squad. â&#x20AC;&#x153; The transfer students were a perfect fit/' said Coach Rich Hansen. "The other members of the team welcomed them, and they really embraced Prep, the football team, and our w ay of life." The team dominated throughout the season, during which they scored 5 2 2 points. "The offense really had a collective effort. Everyone did their job, starting with the offensive line, to [Quarterback] Ryan Boysen, to the running backs, to our wide receivers/' praised Hansen. Boysen had a 75% completion rate

while leading the offense. The running back trio of juniors M ike Brown and Rashawn Jackson, and sophomore Kee-Ayre G riffin, ran for a collective 2 ,5 62 yards. Senior Chris Traba led the defensive effort, compiling 92 tackles and two fumble recoveries. Senior James Tindall also contributed a key effort, culm inating his season as the Hudson C ounty Defensive Player of the Year for his 43 tackles and 11 V i sacks. The greatest testament to the defense lies in numbers. Prep only allowed 32 points, with not one point scored until the eighth game. Simply put, the team dominated all aspects of play. The conjunction and fluidity of each teammate functioning as one led to the great success of this year's group. The M arauders' supremacy in Hudson County resulted in the school's 4th consecutive HCIAA Championship. The outlook for years to come certainly remains very bright.

training regimen, which resulted in some team members logging in mileage ranging from 4 0 0 miles to over 6 0 0 miles by the end of the summer. This experimental routine proved to be effective, as the M arauders captured the Jersey City Championship and South Hudson Champi onship on the varsity, junior varsity, and fresh man levels, and secured second place in both the Hudson County and Coaches' County Cham pionships behind a state-ranked Memorial team. Individually, however, the story of the season belongs to senior Brian Lang. Aside from handily winning all four m ajor Hudson County races, he won the M cQ uaid Invitational in Roch ester, NY, a feat that had never been achieved before by a Prep runner. He qualified for the cross-country M eet of Champions, which had hot been accomplished in over a decade. The cross-country team earned their achievements this season, working tirelessly on their own, as w ell as with the team, in order to create and strengthen the team's tremendous sense of unity. Each member of the determined squad helped to raise the bar for all future run ners at Prep to follow, leaving its mark forever on a school which prides itself on never giving up. The 2 0 0 3 Prep cross-country team did just thatnot for medals or recognition-but for each other.

ntering the 2 0 0 3 -2 0 0 4 season, Prep's JV Basketball team stepped onto the hardw ood court with the possibility of establishing an effective system that

would continue into the coming years. After the arduous days of various training routines, from suicide drills to lifting weights, the team experi enced the loss of starting point guard sophomore Jack O pel. Various players stepped up, including

sophomores Joe Vayas and Ryan Gelchion, who displayed leadership qualities and athleticism that

transcended all the expectations o f the coaches. W ith the guidance and experience of head coach Rob Bruckner, the team pulled off remarkable wins against St. M a ry's, St. A l's, J.P. Stevens, and Rahway. Starting off 4-0, the team utilized their skills to lock down on their opponents with an im penetrable defense. Complemented by sophomore M ike G orman's average o f 9 .6 points per game, and by sophomore M ike Haas's presence under the basket, Vayas achieved a solid scoring aver age of 12.6 and a 7 1 4 free throw percentile.

The players pleased Prep fans with entertain ing wins against long time rivals Hudson Catho lic, Dickinson, and Lincoln. In review of the sea son, Coach Bruckner said, "O verall, everyone played remarkably well. The effort put forth by this

young group was commendable and the team will be in even better shape next year as we w ill get to have an incorporation of both JV players from this year and many o f the freshman players w ho had

their own awesome season," Vayas shared his sea son lesson: "W h a t we learned was we must be

prepared for everything, and to come out on top. Hard work, constant energy, and motivation;}? the only w a y to get a jump on the competition.'' V/ Leonida

For the second consecutive year, the Marauders captured the Central Red Conference Division Cham pionship; however, the team fell to Ridge High School in the finals. Despite the setback, the team plowed through their opponents in state playoffs. In the post season, Prep prevailed over Red Bank Catholic and set up a rematch against Don Bosco Prep. In a dra matic 4-3 overtime victory, the Marauders avenged an earlier loss. Prep advanced to the semi-finals against Delbarton, the state's top ranked team. As a testa ment to their drive, Prep defeated the perennial jug gernaut. During the NJSIAA Parochial Schools State Championship, the Prep hockey season fittingly ended on the ice o f legends at Continental Airlines Arena. The 3-1 loss to Seton Hall Prep marked the end of a spectacular year for Prep Hockey. Enhancing an amazing year, individual accolades augmented the team's overall success. Junior G io Capodanno and W hitford reached career milestones of 100 points. M any witnesses of this year's Hockey team de scribed the season as "magical," others as "inspir ing." The team's success, even in the face of adver sity, leaves lasting impressions in the minds of Petreans.

Prep Hockey team transformed into an unstoppable machine that captured the hearts of many within the hallowed Prep halls.

enefiting from a new look, the Prep JV Hockey team enjoyed great results from

a change in the coaching staff. Assis tant coach from the previous two years, Damien Arnone began the season as the head

coach with a sense of optimism and confidence in his lineup. He described the team as "a good group of players both academically and physi cally. Each and everyone played the game as it should be played.'' W ith assistant coach Chris Curko's he|p, Arnone m aintained a winning record of 10-9 despite close losses versus tough competitors. Encounters against challenging op ponents, including Seton Hall Prep, St. Joseph (Metychen),; Delbarton, St. Joseph (Montvale), and Bishop Eustace, resulted in games lost by only one point. Contributions from senior co-cap tains Rob Androsiglio and Eric Oemer.te allowed the team to perform well, especially during the victory over Hudson Catholic. Towards the end of the season, the squad won sever of its iast nine games with a six-game winning streak in between. Leading scorer, junior John Hanrahan accumulated 32 points thanks to the passing skills of freshman Rich Musso. O nly allowing 29 goals

P ower

in 12 games, goalie Josh Dybus ensured a solid presence in the crease along with standout fresh-: man Kevin Fox. Although the loss of three seniors w ill inf)uence next year's group, Coach Arnone expects only im p rb^m e nt cOming off of a ten win season. Remarked Androsiglio of; the season, "I be lieve that Prep's JV program is the best anyone has seen in years. O ur crew battled some tough opponents, but managed to come together, work hard, and win some key victories. Both Eric and I are confident that next.year's^qyad will progress immensely and rise up to meet any challenges the next season w ill bring."

To wards the end of the season, the Marauders out classed North Bergen, the school's perennial archrival for decades.

rep Swimming took its trad itio n of tri足 umph to a new level this season. An足 chored by captains seniors Denis Eagan and M ike Fitzmaurice, and junior Brian Kennedy, this year's team swam to new heights. The depth of the team allowed them to suffer only two losses to one team the entire season. Coaches Luke Piede and Frank Thomson expected greatness from the team and they witnessed excellence as a result. The season began with a 15th place ranking in the state and its first victory ever against Pingry. As the season continued the workload increased dramatically, but nothing could tire the unbeatable spirit of the team. Prep won every dual meet in December and January with the exception of St. Joseph's of Metuchen, the number one team in the state, and won State Sectionals for the second year in a row. As February washed up

onto shore, the team began competing in the NJSIAA State Tournament In the quarterfinals, Prep swimmers defeated Bergen Catholic, the team that had beat out Prep the year before in the same round. The team then faced St. Joseph's of Metuchen for a second time in the semifinals, only to be ousted after a well fought meet where numerous swimmers posted personal bests. Prep dominated the HC1AA County Championships placing first in every event and even broke county meet records in the 2 0 0 M edley Relay and the 4 0 0 Freestyle Relay. These two relays then traveled to NJSIAA's M eet of Champions, where they improved their times even more and placed in the top 26 in the state. At the completion of the season the S ta r L e d g e r topped an already terrific season by naming the Swim Team the North Jersey Team of the Year and Coach Piede the North Jersey Coach o f the Year. It seems that no future team at Prep can top the success of this year. However, the squad, under the new head coaching of Thomson, w ill have many great swimmers in every class. Kennedy and Dougherty of junior year; LiVolsi, Kraivanger, Kearney, and Hector Flores of sophomore year; and Pat Giamario and Nick Cannizzaro of freshman year will build on their suc足 cess of this year and continue to strive for victory.

P ushing

niors, this year's team had a high standard to meet after finishing first on JV for the past three years. During this golden period, the team forged close bonds, a positive factor, which contributed to its undefeated record through the first half o f the season. However, an equally talented adver足 sary, Hudson County Prep, avenged its earlier loss to St. Peter's and stole the lead in the standings during the second and third position rounds, a new form of scheduling introduced this season to match teams with similar records more often. Due to snow and certain logistical problems, the seniors remained unable to face its opponents and did not receive a fair shot to reclaim first place and finished third in the division behind Hudson County Prep and Dickinson High School. Senior Dan Kiczek, also an all-star bow ler for the South Hudson Division, reflected, "despite our finish this year, I truly appreciate how far we have come as individual bowlers and as a team after these past four years together."

RALE, FROM C h o r a le Emerging from the depths of a near decade long hiatus, the Prep Chorale G roup has returned to rejuvenate a stag nant part of the Prep life. At the request of several students, Mr. Scot Hovan agreed to moderate the new and improved chorus. Q ualified and talented, M r. Hovan sang in musical groups while attending the University of Dayton. Moreover, his time spent while singing in the Detroit Concert Choir further qualified him as a leader of this new group. Audi tions were held early O ctober and a surprising amount of students showed up to try-out. Unfortunately, Mr. Hovan could only accept sixteen vocally gifted students. The Prep Chorus practices every M onday and Wednes day mornings from 7:3 0 a.m. to 8 :2 0 a.m. Routinely, prac tices begin with neck and vocal exercises. Singers proceed to rehearse various songs for upcoming events. The Cho rale group made their premier performance at the Prep's annual Christmas Concert. Joined in song by the members of the Holy Family A cadem y Choir, chorus members per formed "W hite Christmas," "Silent N ight," and the beauti fu lly sung "Rise Up S h e p h e rd ." S e n io r

P o lit ic a l ly The Student Council has undergone many changes over the past year, yet the goal of the elected officials, to repre sent and voice the opinions of the student body, remains constant. This year's council, under the guidance of new moderator Ms. M arie Curry, has picked up where last year left off with the fi nalization o f the Student Council Constitu tion. A dopting a more hands-on approach to activities and proposals, the Council aimed this year to be a fluid compo nent of the Prep machine, providing the best conditions to

assist the school. The Student Council brought in new ideas, including the creation of subcommittees to review topics such as club proposals and the current technology situation at the Prep prior to presenting them to the entire student body. Begin ning with their summer meeting with M r. Ken Dandorph, the council has made its presence known. This year's edition also endeavored to reach out to its students, structuring forums of correspondence in the cafeterias during lunch and in the library, or in Ms. Curry's room after classes.

Truly a positive presence here at Prep, members of the NHS re spond first to the needs o f the school whether helping out at alumni reunions or providing a constructive example for the rest of the schools as they remain involved in a multitude of activities outside NHS. As senior Denis Eagan offered, "It was a real privilege to be part of an organization whose goal is to serve others before serving itself." "It's wonderful to see so many of my peers have such a commitment to service," remarked senior Tim Maher: "I be lieve that Prep truly does breed men o f conscience, compe tence, and compassion."

C a n Us e UM i A difficult challenge for a Prep student of any year pre sents itself in keeping abreast o f the big events, numerous activities, and overall attitude of the community at school while managing his own schedule. Luckily The Petroc has maintained its long tradition o f informing the community by follow ing its motto "All the News W e Have, W e Print."

Returning members juniors Ed w ard Cho and Ankur Patel help guide fellow staff members in w riting and editing articles. But perhaps the best quality of this publication remains its ability to include students of all four years in writing, photography, and page design.

A flame burns brightly in Burke Hall; the light of Am nesty International. Amnesty International serves to edu cate students on global issues of social justice. Prep's chap ter of the international organization sheds light onto the shadows o f injustice and violence around the world. Their weapon, the letter, may seem simple; however, this peace ful protest presents a powerful match for forces o f despo tism and tyranny. Fired to countless leaders and govern ments, the letters o f the students cajole their recepeints to free political prisoners. From the communist regime in M yanm ar to the civil w ar in Bosnia, Amnesty International commits itself to the struggle against these ruthless oppres sions that continue to affect the world. M oderated by Ms. M arie Curry and supported by a group of dedicated upperclassmen, Amnesty International meets about once a month to discuss and learn about issues concerning global human rights by follow ing news paper stories, watching movies, and listening to guest lec turers.

For five years, Prep's M odel UN club has taken an active role in educating Prep men on international issues. Moder ated by Mr. Paul Cunneen, M odel UN has witnessed many victories. President Tom Leane teaches all the other members of the club, known as "the delegates," howto compete and to win awards. He not only checks all the position papers, but also reviews the debates until everyone feels confident about representing their country. For many years each March, Prep attends the M odel UN conference held at Seton Hall. This year, however, a second conference emerged that proffered another learning experience for the Prep students.

The two-day conference may get tiring, but with the proper preparation it allows students to enjoy themselves. Those who attend often speak of their positive experience. The club has become more than a place to practice debating international issues; it has become a place where friends meet, joke around, practice, and enjoy conferences.

O ut This year brought forth the creation o f the service orga nization known as Outreach. Piloted by Sr. Frances, OSF, this group has already accomplished much in the months since its inception. The group, dedicated to social justice, has served the poor in the soup kitchens and homeless shelters o f Hoboken and N e w York City. Funded by the money collected during dress-downs, the expenses for numerous projects were easily covered due to the gener osity o f Prep men.

Prep's History Club enjoyed yet another successful year. W ith its moderator, M r. Paul Cunneen and President Se nior James Coe, the History Club sponsored events such as movies, including Gangs o f N ew York, The Ruffles, and G lory among others; however, the History Club's annual fundraiser, Teacher Survivor, remains its most well-known event. Every year, the History Club meets, sets a date dur ing the mission drive, and revises the rules. In addition, the club must come up with more questions and more enter taining stipulations. O riginated by Jack Diffley '0 2 and N ick Brady '0 2 and carried on by seniors Lester Redfield and James Coe, the Teacher Survivor has endured contin ued success. Last year's prize amounted to over $ 100 for the winning teacher, M r. Bob McDermott. In addition to the Teacher Survivor, the Annual Student History Bee also provides funds for the History Club in an entertaining and educational manner. Students partake in a competition answering questions from different time pe riods in history. M ike Jiran '0 3 took first place, with second p la c e g o in g to Tim Chester '0 3 .

O n the heels of its inaugural year, the Classics Club continued its growth as a vital asset amongst Prep's cul tural clubs. Last year, due to the lack of student officers, the Classics Club did not meet their high expectations.

However, they find innovative and in teresting methods to connect to ancient Rome in today's world. M any movies and television shows have been made featuring or are based around ancient Rome. Taking ad vantage of this media, the Classics Club has displayed some of these films such as A Funny Thing Happened on the W ay to the Forum, Caesar, and they planned a trip to see Troy when it debuted. The popularity of the Simpsons has influenced the decision to present an episode featuring "H om er's Odyssey." A cult classic, M on ty Python and the Holy Grail, also remained in the works for several presenta tions o f different clips.

The SADD Club continues its strong tradition at Prep. Starting off the year, SADD participated in a Hudson County songwriting contest that promoted a strong anti-drug theme. O ut of the total six songs entered for consideration, only one song, written by seniors Nick Fargo, Wesley Ingraham, and Karl Osenenko, ultimately won the chance to compete in Hudson County. In addition to the contest, SADD spon足 sored an ice skating trip to Chelsea Piers in NYC. "It was a lot of fun, and learning how to stop was an experience I will never forget," remarked sophomore A J. Vecellio. "SADD did an awesome job in offering this outing." Senior President Joe Laverty, junior Vice President Ed足 w ard Cho, senior Secretary N eal Santos, and seniorTreasurer Benjamin Yun spent every Tuesday morning planning upcoming events and meetings. On Wednesday afternoons, the entire SADD Club met to create banners and signs to promote anti-destructive messages for the Prep hallways.

W Um m m m MG This year marked a very impressive effort for the Prep Spirit Committee. W ith the support of Fr. M ike Hoag, S.J., the Committee has progressed remarkably, building upon the foundations of a glorious tradition that had already held a resounding reputation. From the banners adorning the cafeteria walls calling for students' support in battle to strains of "I went down the railroad..." penetrating the hearts of opponents backpedaling downfield, the spirit of the Prep rang throughout the classrooms and the fields o f competi tion. Seniors M arauder Konrad Dudziak and Henchmen Joe Liccardo, Chris Bludgus, Brendan W h itfo rd , Eric Clemente, and Joe Territola all had their hands full organiz ing and overseeing events during the year. The six did an outstanding job of harnessing the energy of the Prep crowds and using it to motivate all Prep teams, from football to hockey. Whether in victory, defeat, or marching down Grand Street towards Liberty State Park during the Walk-a-thon, these leaders enhanced the experience of any Prep event.

of fellowship to a new level, and thanks to the cooperation o f the entire Prep community, the gatherings resulted in a huge success. Prep looks forw ard to a bright future in the years to come. Aside from the motivation and support provided by the Committee, the year has more importantly succeeded in providing an entertaining experience for all in the Prep community and beyond.

During one school day recess in October, juniors Donald Delaon and James Vardakis discussed their interests in in dependent film and the lack of adequate venues for cinephiles such as themselves in Jersey City. As an avid fan of films, M oderator Mr. David M uir encouraged the juniors to petition the Student Council for an independent film club, and the Independent Film Society was born. The IFS de sired to promote and encourage interesting and intellec tual discussions about the challenging and oft-overlooked issues suggested by independent filmmakers of today. The IFS began their look into modern indie flicks with Sofia C oppolla's "Virgin Suicides," a haunting tail of Prideful Prepsters shun shirts.

The IFS drew a core group of cinephiles dedicated to the brilliance and importance o f the film medium, namely, a group of Prep students who were dissatisfied with the su perficiality of corporate Hollyw ood films. The future of the IFS remains as certain as the future o f independent films, which constantly break the mold in filmmaking and will continue to challenge convention and simultaneously en tertain indie film lovers ad infinitum.

T h em he S hadow s M onday afternoon, the sun begins to bow for the night and the scrape of chairs and tables echo from behind the Madonna Chapel's closed doors. A number of seniors and juniors huddle in the lobby, in the cafeteria, in the courtyard, anticipating the return of their brothers. Dedication, commitment, fellowship, and selflessness all name attributes found within the Emmaus Team. Devoting many of their hours to the team may seem a heavy load to others but the members of the team would gladly contribute more of themselves for the love they have to the activity. It all begins in junior year when these men take part in their own Emmaus retreat. Although they return home, beaming smiles and proudly flashing their crosses, the road to Emmaus seems like an incomplete task. The feelings experienced on the retreat lead these men to search for further fulfillment. The Emmaus Team provides their opportunity to complete the full circle; the chance to take part and experience another retreat is readily available. M any of these men spent the weeks leading up to this event gathering materials, preparing talks, and raising spirits for the upcoming weekend, where a new group of students are welcomed to the community in the experience of Emmaus. Taken a few days before the beginning of the school year, the team retreat presents the first challenge for the Emmaus Team.

The job of a team leader plays an integral role in making the weekend a tremendous experience for the juniors, from directing them through the retreat house to guiding them on a spiritual and personal journey. Senior Mark Leonida, a team leader on Emmaus 201, put it best: "M y first Emmaus affected my life spiritually, socially, and emotionally. After that initial experience I really felt the need to travel the road again as a team leader and to guide the juniors on such a powerful journey.* As an Emmaus Team Leader, the jour ney ends too soon, but they complete their job.

This year marked a new and exciting year for the Prep TV Studio. Headed by junior Chris Keating, sophomore Colin G allo and moderated by the always energetic, guidance proffering Mr. James DeAngelo, the organization sought to achieve loftier heights than those made in past years. Indeed, the group proved their value to the school by supplying the annual amusing Christ mas video at the winter mass. In addition, the TV studio contrib uted the movie that allowed Prep students to acquire an engag ing look into Prep's own missionary work throughout the world. The production focused on the contributions of faculty mem bers such as Ms. Kaija DeWitt, who taught Micronesian chil dren, and Mr. Matthew Greeley who worked in the poor rural areas of Peru. However, the studio embodies more than just a servant of the student body. It offers a unique outlet for the cre ativity of a section of it members. "To translate the writ ten in to the v i s u a l," says M r. D eAngelo, "in d i cates an in v a lu able experience, necessary to the Neo Kent school." Although In the art studio, Ms. Erma Yost teaches senior p o rtra y e d often, Patrick Cardano how to manipulate pictures the a rtis tic side using Photoshop. should not stand as the sole area of concentration; one should not underestimate the hard work put into the mechanical aspect. For each minute of footage viewed, members of the hard working TV studio have donated over one hour of work editing. The future of Prep's filmmakers appears dazzling, with enormous hopes of organizing a film festival. Nonetheless, other undertakings less obvious to the entire student body remain. Distributed for the first time this year, the studio's recruiting video has provided a valuable asset to Prep's Office of Admissions. With other projects currently in the works, the TV Studio continues to provide an audio/visual representation of the Prep. Under the guidance of Ms. Patter Hellstrom, the Art Club has returned for another year of eye-pleasing creations. Meet ing after school and during various frees throughout the year, the members of this illustrious club are responsible for adorning Prep walls from Burke to the Humanities Building with their scupltures, paintings and drawings.

REP Each summer a select gro up o f Hudson County youth gains the opportunity to experience St. Peter's Prep firsthand. In the 3 9 ,h year since its inception, the program thrives under the directorship of Mr. John Irvine. The Higher Achievement Program (HAP) combines an unparalleled so cial atmosphere with a rigorous academ ic curriculum. Rather than wasting a summer vacation, seventh graders prepare for the challenges of eighth grade and high school. Similar to Prep, HAP promotes a strong sense o f com munity while building character. In the classroom, the stu dents function as classmates; on the athletic field, they be come teammates in various sports. The list of sports in cludes basketball, soccer, dodgeball, and others. Through teamwork, each young man learns how to develop into a man for and with others. However, the ferocity of competi tion brings out the inner scholar and athlete of every HAP student. The intense competition ranges from writing the best creative piece in English class to overcoming McCabe's undefeated soccer team. Several kindhearted Prepsters d e d ic a te

young people of the same interests and hardships. Even Prep teachers sacrifice their time to assist the stu dents in meeting the upcoming academic challenges of the eighth grade. Reviewing topics that cover many subjects, these instructors seek to enhance any of the skills these summer scholars have acquired in gram m ar school. Through the communal and intellectual aspects it shares with Prep, the Higher Achievement Program offers a small taste of everyday life at Grand and W arren. Hopefully this will motivate HAP graduates to consider Prep among their top high school choices in the following years.

In this technologically dependent society, possessing knowledge of computers becomes increasingly vital with each day. The Computer Club offered Prep students an opportunity to learn and discuss issues regarding comput ers and technology in general. The organization, in con junction with the computer classes offered at Prep, edu cate students about all facets of computers and computer usage. M oderated for the fourth year by computer science teacher Ms. Ella Glazer, the organization met throughout the school year to plan various events. Returning members included seniors President Steven Poon and Vice-President Beda Pormentilla, who coordinated several field trips to visit computer shows and to watch movies such as The M a trix and the other films in the trilogy. Incorporating suggestions from members and using ideas from previous years, the Computer Club continued to improve and expand. Members planned to set up a Computer Club website accessible to all students. This page w ould serve prim arily as a bulletin for upcoming events. The pos sibility o f estab lishing a gaming network has also emerged as an un de rta king of the club during the course of the year. A lthough both projects re m a in e d u n d e r NeoKent

N o rain, no problems, just the Walk-a-thon. Walk-a-thon 2002 can be remembered for the torrential downpour that threatened to ruin the day. However, the 2003 counterpart faced no such menace. Instead, it was justa fun and enjoyable day. The day started with a summoning of homerooms to the court yard. While all four years gathered, anxiously awaiting the com mencement of the day's activities, the Marauder and his Hench men appeared on the roof of the Humanities Building. From there, they called the entire Prep Community to attention with the sight of the Prep flag waving in the wind. When they held the attention of all the Prepsters, they led everyone in a rousing combined effort of the "Ave." Soon after, the walk began.

After everyone ate the entertainment began. An illusionist and a hypnotist wowed, puzzled and bemused the Prep crowd. The hypnotist stole the show for the day. Using five Prep students as subjects, he manipu lated them into performing wholesomely humorous deeds. Over all, the entertainment, though different from previous years, proved absolutely outstanding. After the entertainment shows, Mr. Dave Bailey '95, the orga nizer of the Walk-a-thon, held a random drawing to determine the winners of the prizes. The prize for each class included a 32-inch television. In return for raising the most money in the school, senior Jeremiah Palmeri won a video game system of his choice. After completing these drawings, a final drawing was held to deter mine the overall winner of the "grand prize." Each Prepster re ceived a drawing ticket for each $50 raised. The winner of the 40inch plasma television turned out to be Palmeri, which seemed fitting for the student who raised the most money. The big winner of the day turned out to be Prep itself, garnering over $85,000.

The year 1977 brought forth many new cultural phenomena; among them included "Dancing Q ueen" by ABBA, the last episode of the M a ry Tyler M oore show, and the line "W hich Doobie you be?" However, perhaps the phenomenon with the most longevity has been Star W ars, the six-episode movie series that began in 1977 with Episode IV: A N e w Hope. Five years ago, when this year's seniors finished 8th grade, Jon Cordova '0 3 founded the Star W ars Club under the moderation of M r. M ichael Gomez. Since M r. G om ez's departure from the Prep last year, M r. M att G reeley has served as moderator. The Star W ars Club has been noticeable to non足 members with the announcem ents re g a rd in g

the Star W ars Club exists to "give an outlet to guy? who are science-fiction fans...it gives [them] a chance to stretch [their] minds and to look at things in different w ays." Certainly, this fact has been evident by the events the Star W ars Club has sponsored, such as trips to see several

science-fiction movies and round upon round of laser tag. The members o f the club even assist with the mission drive by sponsoring such events as video game tournaments (in fact, this year's newly-incepted Video Game Club was a spin-off of the Star W ars Club's tournaments) and Star Wars trivia games pitting members with other Prep students. Says Mr. Greeley, "W e 're just an easy-going group that provides a community for guys that may not be in so many other activities. The entire series is based on the fight between good and evil, the Force versus the dark side. I just hope that some of the things we do help us to fight the dark side as often as possible."

Prep Factor has risen up as a new addition to Prep's list of clubs and activities. The club raises social and political awareness about various issues of local, national, and in ternational concern by providing a forum for students to discuss and debate many topics and potential solutions to these important ideas. Seniors Pete O n e g lia , Mike Kadian, and John Greco came up with a rough idea for the group, and approached M r. Dom "D oc" Scibilia to discuss the idea for such a forum. Dr. Scibilia thought positively about the idea and decided to moderate Prep Factor. The Stu dent Council unanimously approved the group. The Prep Factor hosted several different functions throughout the course o f the year. During a typical meeting of the Prep Factor, discussions arose about various politi cal issues, such as the upcoming 2 0 0 4 presidential elec tion, the strengths and weaknesses of various forms of gov ernment, and Internet piracy. The group took a field trip to see a live debate at Columbia University, they have posted flyers around the school for the Hunger Site, and have pre sented such films as B ow ling For C o lu m b in e

G e t In a 3 EK The impact o f the automobile has significantly influenced society in many aspects. A major area affected by Henry Ford's remarkable invention, high school provides an arena for the average adolescent male's fascination with cars. Demonstrating Prep's openness to new activities, the ad vent of the Car Club offered a meeting place for these auto aficionados. An interest in technology mixed with a combination of testosterone and adrenaline fuel the intense passion Prep men have for four-wheeled vehicles. Under the guidance of Ms. Karrie Rinder, the Car Club has displayed tremendous potential in becoming a great organization focused on automotive issues. Sharing common interests in speed and mechanics, senior co-founders and presidents M ichael Muzyczyn and M ichael Cartwright envisioned a forum to express these sentiments with the student body. Upon in duction to the Car Club, members enjoyed subscriptions to various automotive magazines. Throughout the year, they embarked on excursions to watch Starsky and Hutch and to v is it the

Ever since The Fast and the Furious came out, every one thinks they're Vin Diesel. I supposed that with Ms. Rinder's help, we could have a lot of fun. O ur trips to mov ies and car shows were great, and I believe we learned a lot about the effects of the automobile on our society.

needs o f video game fanatics by creating this fantastical and full-out participatory club. They reached out to Mr. David Bailey to moderate the ambitious new club. Enthusiastically, Mr. Bailey agreed and the club sparked into operation. The club began with a SSX 3 tournament, and at the conclusion, Mr. Bailey showed off his old school Super M a rio skills. Tournaments continued with highly an ticipated games such as Soul Caliber 2, M adden 2 0 0 4 and Super Smash Brothers Melee. The Video Game Club has held many successful events, and with each event, the number of participants and curious onlookers noticeably increased as w ord spread o f the club. The most successful video game event, the Super Smash Brother M elee tournament, marked a great achievement. About 25 teams formed, demonstrating that the Video Game Club meets a great need among students. Surely, the button smashing w ill continue.

"His endeavors have not gone unnoticed in this school. In his junior year, the Prep community bestowed him with the prolific Spirit Award.

His academic excel lence is rew arded each year with honor pins, honor cards, G old medals in Latin II, and Silver medals in Physics and Religion 111. In athletics, he brings consistency and leadership to the soccer and lacrosse teams. His spiritual strength can be measured in his service as a Eucharistic Minister. Tim's friendly demeanor can be felt through both his laughter and words of

Following another win for the football team, seniors Steve Poon, Robert Androsiglio, Will Pak, William Sweeney, Jonathan Bossio, Matt Rotondo, and Alex Ju celebrate in the parking lot.

Prep in 2 0 0 4 , the still conscience and the vibrant soul of our M arauder identity screams from a summit of adolescent humanity, brightened by the spirit of teachers, of family, and of friends. All heavy and dark but possessing diffe re nt textures and sizes, the hadows we cast upon the w orld complement the ,ght radiating from the hallow ed halls of St. Peter's d represent testimony to the undying liberty of each rson that keeps the Prep alive. Yet no matter how Lndane or how monumental of a shadow we extend r the earth, we at St. Peter's Prep can always find other, overlapping our influences and touching r lives in the darkness.

n c l o s in g (continued from page 180) Freshmen emerge from the shadows a wiser group, a shell o f the motley crew of new faces beginning to shine their lights in the tunnel that defines the high school years. Sophomores burst out from the darkness, eager to assume roles as upperclassmen and looking forward to Christian service, the junior prom, driving tests, and the community of Emmaus.

Juniors climb to the top o f the Prep mountain, assuming the torch-bearing roles o f their predecessors, the time to cast the biggest shadow over their teachers and peers finally arriving. And after four years—difficult, fun, and altogether too short—the 2 0 0 4 senior class of St. Peter's finally can take to the skies, the shadows from their wings always carrying a part of Prep's light with them. Small in size yet enormous in spirit, St. Peter's Prep has existed for 132 years. N o w the 133rd year can be etched in the hearts of us all, illuminated by the light w e have provided for each other. From "under the shadow of Peter" we have come. YimB

B eloved Pub started out as a “ beautiful thing," after we finished clean ing the Pub Room for the past one and a half years of work. But after meaningless meetings and distributing the yearbooks in a shopping cart like fools, we sat down to start our first project, the supplement. Despite lacking the proper guidance, we held our own (and M r. Collins's keys). Consuming our time in a place that became second to our own homes, we grew together, Raj, Soumo, even Ben, M ark, Cecil, Neal, and Dan, as the people that would revive a lost element in our school. Although nature locked us into the Pub, so that w e couldn't even kick our w ay out, Sister saved us. N o t nine months later did we choose to be sealed from the outside world, with our new brother Dave. N o w as w e revisit the cloth of the tapestry of our Odyssey, follow ing the threads of technical mayhem, dying the patterns of breaks for hallw ay games and take-out food, and weaving the emotional baggage from other activities, classes, friends, and families, each one of us could not do enough, and yet we could not have done any more. N o w surprised and awe-struck, who w ould have forseen all that the Petrean and Prep would have done for us? N ot always going home with the best of attitudes or mindsets, w e became stewards of the school, and a bigger, sig nificant part o f the whole community, at subway runs, Homecom ings, concerts, and sporting events. W e lent our half-days, our weekends, ourselves, and drew teachers, faculty, and students to a little niche on the second floor o f Hogan. This book, but a glimpse o f our sweat and toil, which M r. M uir always covered with his own, can only partially convey what this activity and this school meant to all of us, and what we mean to each other.
