THE JOURNEY

P rep is a journey. N ot just physically walk­ing from this building to that, but, in some

profound way, Prep is a chance to look at our lives from a new perspective. It goes beyond the elements of departure and destination; it is more than a means to an end. It is the ability to appreciate things for their own sake; it is the act of breaking through the mind set which only asks, “ W here is this going to get m e?” It is a chance to experience the world in a new way.

Any journey marks some sort of movement: it is a living history of where a person has been, where a person is, and where that person might go. It links him to his past and directs him to his future. Everything is affected by everything else.

Prep is a chance to see this and make the connections. I t’s seeing that studying for a Bio test is not so different from working on the gridiron . . . Seeing those connections is part of the undefinable spirit that makes Prep so spe­cial.

The journey is about learning how the whole Prep experience is a part of something much greater. Realizing this is an act of discovery; it’s learning something from each moment and seeing the presence of God in the world around us. W ith this discovery, our boundaries are pushed back further.

A person is forced to see tha t there is a rev­elation on the horizon, that real growth involves a willingness to move beyond what we already know. Prep allows a person to see that there is a world of thoughts and feelings never known . . . until now. It forces us to reach deeper, to open ourselves to the first-hand experience of learning.

It is this first hand experience that is so im­portant. The mid-terms that go on forever, the

Emmaus Homecoming, the first loss of the sea­son — all are chances to be a part of the Prep experience. It is getting in touch with what seems to be beyond us that allows us to grow. It is the hope that this growth, this journey never ends.

Prep is much more than the way to the end. It is process vs. perfection. You don’t have to be the best at something as long as you’ve tried; it’s realizing that the practices, in some ways, are more important than the games. Likewise, the diplomas given out at graduation are noth­ing compared to the experience of four years spent here; learning, laughing, growing . . . all embody the dynamism of being on the road, always walking in the process. The goal of the journey is the journey itself.

But the journey is something different for each person; the twists and turns along your path make you different; they make you who you are. It is an experience in diversity. Each person develops from the choices made, each choice involving some risk. It requires a sense of belief in yourself. I t’s having the courage to take the risks, and letting your own heart beyour guide.

Prep is learning that you don’t have to dress like everyone else, you don’t have to think like everyone else . . . you don’t have to conform. I t’s taking a step into the unknown, because

Page 10: 1993 Petrean
Page 11: 1993 Petrean

you’ve decided to believe in yourself, to trust your guide. And that’s hard. I t’s something you do not do by yourself. It is the community that empowers the individual. The community is that deeper spirit from which each of us draws some sort of inspiration. In the end, it is the com­munity that defines the individual, and the in­dividuals who define the community.

Prep is a point in the journey where nearly a thousand paths meet; it is a crossroads where each person can uniquely affect the others. It is a community where people can give of them­selves and be open to receiving others. It is dedicating ourselves to the service of others. It is selfless action for the greater good.

Prep is community and learning from each other. It is brotherhood and a sense of belong­ing. Prep is people walking down the road in unity for a few years. It is the subtle spirit of a shared experience that connects us all. Prep is a journey!

PEOPLE“ 77*e journey” is a concept that

comes to life through the people who come here; we embody a certain dy­namism, that sense of things always evolving. The place becomes empty, s ta tic w ith o u t us. E ach person changes the school in some way; each person is changed in some way by being here. Each person has a chance to find himself, to realize his poten­tial, to foster real change. Part of the journey is knowing there’s a chance for each person to affect the com­m u n ity in some rea l way. P rep wouldn’t be Prep if everyone didn’t contribute something. We have all these chances; our journey is making the most of them.

W hen people ta lk abou t the Prep fam ­ily, i t’s usually some intangible bond

am ong s tuden ts and faculty to which they refer, but the P a re n ts ’ Association is a con­cre te exam ple of this sense of family.

T h e P a re n ts ’ A ssociation ac ts p rim arily as a service organization . Som e of its ac ­tivities include fundra isers which supple­m ent the o ther revenue raised by the school; m e m b ers also work th e g a te a t football games. T hey serve refreshments a t the Open Houses and coordinate the receptions which follow the ring mass and g radua t ion mass.

For their m onthly meetings, gues t speak­ers, such as a representative from Fair O aks Hospital who d irec ted a workshop on teen ­age stress, a re invited to address issues g e r ­m a n e to a d o le sc e n ts an d th e i r p a re n ts . T hese m eetings also provide a chance for paren ts to offer the ir insights into P rep pol-

icy; they can voice their concerns and com ­m endations and have them heard by people who can ac t on them.

T here is som ething deeper, too. T h e as­sociation is its own support system; it a l­lows m em bers to com e together and share their experiences as parents . T here is an opportun ity to learn from each o ther and also from the paren ts of alum ni, m any of w hom are active m embers. T he P a ren ts ’ Association is an extension of th a t feeling of com m unity at Prep; m others and fathers can r e a l iz e t h a t t h e y ’re not a lone , t h a t g rowing pains a re not limited to the ir own families.

P rep is c h a rac te r ize d by the ideals of family; the P a ren ts ’ Association is one way in w h ich o u r fam i ly moves beyond 144 G ra n d S tree t , one way we are able to re ­alize the need for com m unity in our lives.

T here a re m any people a t P rep whose contribu tions to the school go beyond

th a t o f the classroom se tting . M rs. G u- a lar io and Mrs. Russell , the secretaries to th e P rinc ipa l , a re always b u sy .M u c h of w ha t they do — from typing the announce­m ents to get t ing those b im onth ly schedules out — ju s t seems to fit so easily into the cycle of things th a t occur th a t it a lmost goes unnoticed.

Across the foyer, M rs. Doolan is usually busy with som eone’s college application. It is her jo b to get those transc r ip ts , recom ­mendations, and essays organized af te r each senior leaves his applica tion in the College P lacem en t Office. S h e ’s in ch a rg e of the videos and the college books, hounded a thousand tim es each day by s tuden ts who have finally decided to do som e college re ­search.

M rs . F itzgibbons, the sec re ta ry to the P re s id en t is less in th e m a in s t re a m , bu t equally im portan t. Since it can be difficult to find Fr. Joyce in his office, M rs. F i tz ­g i b b o n s m a k e s s u r e t h a t t h i n g s r u n sm o o th ly . F u r t h e r do w n th e h a l l , th e

sw itchboard opera tors provide us with the connection to the outside world. All the calls an d all th e m a il go th r o u g h th a t room . T h e y ’re even the re on the weekends when someone has to drop off his “ m a te r ia ls” on a S a tu rd a y morning.

M rs. Pawlowski is the secretary a t O PI. S he is usually buried under swam ps of p a ­perw ork synonymous with M rs. F lood’s of­f ice. N e tw o r k in g w i th ev e ry g r a m m a r school in the s ta te and every publication is no easy task. But ju s t like all the other secretaries, she does her work cheerfully.

M r. M oore and Ms. L a r ra b e e a re n ’t sec­retaries, yet they too, a re p a r t o f the sup­port s ta f f o f the school. W ith o u t M r. M oo­re, P rep jun iors would need to seek another driving instructor . W ith o u t Ms. L arrabee , the s tudents could not go anyw here to beg for an aspirin , seek sym pa thy or ju s t to lie down.

P rep is a daily dem onstra t ion of the love th a t people have to offer. For some, th a t comes in the way of a hug, or a ges ture of thanks and for others, it m anifests itself in ded ica ted service to the school.

P rep is not ju s t a bunch of classrooms; while s tuden ts a re learn ing in class,

th e re ’s a whole opera tion tak ing place be­hind the scenes. T h roughou t the yea r the T r e a s u r e r ’s O ff ice works to “ m a k e ends m e e t . ’ It is the jo b of the trea su re r and his s ta f f to pay the bills and keep t rack of ex­penses. M a n ag in g the finances of an inst i­tu tion , such as Prep, is difficult to ap p re ­cia te w ithout being directly involved. Jus t th ink ab o u t how h ard it can be to find m o n ­ey to spend on S a tu rd a y because i t ’s all been spent dur ing the week. M ag n ify th a t p rob lem a thousand times.

Also involved in financial m a tte rs are the Offices of A lum ni and Development. They help keep the tuition down to som ething reasonable by garne r ing a lum ni and o ther outside contribu tions to the school. T hey raise over ha l f a million dollars every year to help keep Prep going.

M s. F inholt and Ms. Boyan are in cha rge of organiz ing a lum ni events, such as the Presiden t’s Council Dinner, T he G rand and W a r re n Reception and Ju g N igh t . T hey help provide th a t tang ib le link between the school and the people who have walked i t ’s halls; they m ake P rep a continu ing expe­

rience for those who have g rad u a ted and moved on.

Bringing P rep to the general public via school visits and press releases falls under the auspices of M rs. Flood, the d irector of the Office of Public Inform ation. S he runs all the O pen Houses; she’s responsible for le tting everyone know abou t Prep. Every s tuden t here a t one t im e or ano ther has dealt with O P I , ei ther by being a tou r guide or hav ing received some in fo rm ation on P rep th rough recru itm ent.

O ne of P re p ’s “ most valuable p layers” is Fr. A zzar to , ou r school chap la in . S o m e ­times it can be hard to find him because he s never in his office but he’s everywhere else a t the sam e time, doing things for other people.

A sim ilar energy is displayed by the li­b rarians . Ms. Scan lan , Ms. K loza ,and Ms. H a ro ac tua lly always have the place in or­der. People a lm ost w an t to study in there, but the th ree l ib rarians a re fun to ta lk to, so we do th a t instead. Som etim es th a t ’s all people do, ju s t talk, realizing th a t t h a t ’s w here learning comes from too, not ju s t from the classroom.

T he first day of classes — a s tuden t enters P rep a little pas t eight. A lm ost

im m edia te ly he is g ree ted by the ringing o f the telephone in the a t ten d a n ce office. H e can a lm ost p ic ture Br. G riff in try ing to d ea l w ith ye t a n o t h e r f r e s h m a n m o th e r w h o ’s ca l l in g to f ind o u t if h e r son has r e a c h e d school sa fe ly . T ry in g no t to be stirred from his ha l f sleep, he takes the Burke s ta irs down to the lockers.

It strikes h im ju s t then, th a t in th ree years here, h e ’s never f igured out w ha t the room th a t looks like som eth ing from S ta r T rek is. A nyw ay, h e ’s a senior now, h e ’s too cool to let these things bo ther him, so he heads to his locker.

H e s tands in front o f it, th ink ing th a t i t ’s good to be back, but he waves the though t away. H e tries to recall his com bination from last year; he tries to open the lock a couple of times but it doesn’t open. A lm ost in full sprint, he runs to the office next to the bathroom , hoping th a t som eone’s there. Mr. Lam boy and Br. R alph are sitting, both w earing smiles, knowing w ha t his problem is.

I t takes M r .L a m b o y a couple o f minutes to find the r ight key to open the lock. T he s tuden t quickly unpacks his bag and snaps on the lock, forgetting th a t he doesn’t know the com bination . T ak ing the sta irs in H o ­gan to M r. D eA ngelo ’s room, he notices th a t each floor has a d iffe ren t color. H e has some t im e before the first bell, so he goes down to M r. D a n d o rp h ’s office to in­vestigate the m a t t e r .H e ’s the d irec tor of the physical p lant, he should know. H e wo­u l d ’ve know n, too, b u t he w a s n ’t th e re . M aybe , som e o ther t im e . . .

Brother Joseph Griffin, S.J., H eat and Ven­tilation System.

T h e s tuden t had to stick around la te tha t d ay - ■ he didn t w an t to be the only senior on the bus, and his dad cou ldn’t come to pick h im up before five. H e went to the lib ra ry to get some work done. But instead, he got into a conversation with M r. Bay who is restoring the s ta ined glass windows.

T h e sen io r w en t b a c k to th e foyer a t a round four. Too bad the cafe w asn ’t open. M a y b e the new s ta ff was ready to quit af te r one day of dealing with hungry Prepsters. Everything was quiet, everyone had gone home. All th a t rem ained in the foyer was some ca r t th a t had a g a rb ag e can, a spray cleaner, a rag . . . he though t to h imself th a t his own room would be m uch cleaner if he had one o f those. A lady ca m e out of the office holding a fea ther dus te r in her hand and asked h im why he h a d n ’t gone hom e yet. All he could do was smile . .

T hese people have a sense o f P rep Spirit; working behind the scenes, getting the job done and not seeking any recognition. W ho knows w ha t P rep would be without them. Even M r. H a m m e r , ha l f the people a t Prep don ’t even know him, they don ’t know th a t he helps set up for the receptions held in the cafe. Y et t h a t ’s w ha t i t ’s about, being there for the community, not trying to m ake yourself seem special — only trying to m ake Prep so special.

FRESHMENF re sh m a n year is the beg inning o f a

jou rney into an un fam ilia r world of friendship, trial, growth, and m uch more. I t is a crucial transition from the com fort o f g r a m m a r school to a place th a t dem ands g rea te r responsibility, m a tu r i ty , and open­ness to new ideas.

H igh school rep resen ts a foreign envi­ronm en t for freshm en; they are exposed to new c lassm ates and teachers . . . new op­p o r tu n i t i e s to le a rn , b o th in a n d o u t o f school. Because it is easy for new students to becom e lost in a com m unity of 900 peo­ple, peer counselors work with f irs t-year s tuden ts to help th e m get settled: they pro­v ide a c a d e m ic a s s is ta n c e , a n d th e y e n ­courage involvement in ex tra cu rr icu la r ac ­tivities. P erhaps the most im p o r ta n t thing any freshm an needs to h ea r is the exper i­ence of someone who has been th rough the process of ad justing to high school.

T h e increased academ ic workload is one o f the m a jo r ad ju s tm en ts a f reshm an m ust m ake. Courses like L a t in and A lgeb ra are usually new fields of study; freshm en also have in troduc to ry courses in m usic and art . For the last two years, f reshm en have a t ­tended a writing lab — this class is m ean t to improve w riting skills and self-expres­sion.

As th? year progresses, the ir level o f fa ­m iliar ity with the school and its people be­gins to grow. T h e courses do not seem so difficult , the people not so foreign. In a way, the y ear is an experience which brings th e m full-circle in the ir development, feel­ing like they belong som ew here once again. A nd it is also an experience of som ething new — knowing th a t they have grown and evolved in im por tan t ways.

SOPHOMORESF or most P rep s tudents, sophom ore year seems

ra th e r difficult in the beginning. T he nu r tu ring received in the previous year is reduced, less neces­sa ry because they are now more fam iliar with the school and its dem ands.

M any challenges, academ ic and social, face sec­ond-year s tudents a t Prep; these can easily become s tum bling blocks. Along with a second year o f Latin , sophomores m ust s tudy a m odern language. A lgebra , which began to seem fam iliar near the end of F resh­m an year, is replaced by G eom etry . A th le tes move from lower-level team s to more competi tive squads; the bit players move closer to the lead.

These challenges compel sophomores to develop the ir own skills and to seek out o thers to whom they can relate. T he personal g row th which results helps cultivate the individuality of each s tudent. T he jo u r ­ney becomes less in tim ida ting because each sopho­m ore can rely on his own s treng ths and those of his friends to face the difficulties ahead, not only in school bu t in all aspects o f life.

JUNIORSJ unior yea r m arks a t im e of beginning.

N o longer lost in the shadows of up ­perclassm en, jun io rs begin to g a rn e r posi­tions of leadership in school activities - everything from being crew ch ief to a co­cap ta in . In general, the re is a sense of being second in com m and, striving to be in charge.

S tuden ts begin to take new directions in the classroom. M ore th a n ever before, j u n ­iors m ust begin to take responsibility for the ir own education — to take a syllabus given out in S ep te m b er and do som ething with it. T he academ ic experience of jun io r y ear is an exercise in discipline; it forces a teenager to balance academ ic and co-cur- r icu lar responsibilit ies.

T h e re is exposure to the complex world o f British poetry , tr ig functions, and u p ­heavals, which forged our country . Juniors a re given the ch ance to expand the ir scopes, to assim ilate detailed inform ation, to re ­discover the world around them . H ere be­gins the transfo rm at ion from high school s tuden t to college s tudent.

For m any, ju n io r year is a t im e to th ink a b o u t th e f u tu r e : to w o r r y a b o u t y o u r P S A T ’s, to ta lk with college reps, to take the S A T ’s, to browse th rough the heavy books in Fr. B a ld u f s office. But the fu ture is not simply abou t college, b u t also abou t relationships: it is a t im e of deep friend­ships, hea r tb reaks , and ultim ately , it is a t im e to becom e p ar t o f a com m unity . M ore th a n ju s t being in the sam e year, jun iors grow toge ther as a group, a g roup th a t is a t the brink, an t ic ipa ting g ran d e r things.

ACTIVITIES & SPORTS

It is hum an nature to seek the company of others; every traveler seeks friends along his journey. The presence of others has a profound ef­fect on the course one takes; the planned route may be changed en­tirely or it may become more famil­iar and easy. However, the journey is not made alone; everyone benefits and grows from the relationships de­veloped as he moves further down the road.

There are over forty sports and ac­tivities at Prep, all of which help fos­ter these relationships allowing each student to pursue his own interests. These co-curricular activities help define each student by experiencing him to challenges and the individuals that cannot affect him in the class­room.

STUDENTCOUNCIL

T he s tudent council elections for the 1992-1993 school year m arked a drastic turnover; approximately fifty percent of

the representatives this year were not on s tudent council last year. W ith a revitalizing body of members and the leadership of Pres­ident John M cGuire , the s tudent council dedicated itself to dis­proving the idea th a t it was only a nominal organization.

This becam e apparen t early in the year when work began on the W alk-a-thon. W ith the support of the administration, the s tudent council was able to rally school spirit by holding an as­sembly and having a Prep Spirit Day during which students dressed down in Prep a t tire and received free food. T he am ount of money raised through the W alk-a-thon totaled nearly $17,000, almost the am ount raised in 1992.

The next major project the council helped plan was a series of events revolving around cultural awareness; the series began on F ebruary 23rd with a perform ance by the Alvin Ailey Repertoire Com pany a t Prep to expose the s tudent body to the tradition and customs of cultures from around the world, to foster a deeper understanding and appreciation of different people.

The s tudent council assisted the Mission Drive Com m ittee by presenting the wrestling extravaganza, with returns being donated to the missions. O n a smaller scale, they instituted several changes such as publishing a newsletter, augm enting the concession stand a t dances with chips and candies, and beginning a locker room patrol to prevent thefts.

VARSITY FOOTBALLT he S a in t P e te r ’s Prep M a ra u d e rs s ta r ted the 1992 football

season boasting th ree re tu rn ing a l l-county players, a massive offensive line, and a tenacious defense. Powered with this arsenal, the team was expected to m ake a s trong bid for the county c h a m ­pionship. A nd they did ju s t that.

Led by cap ta ins Bryan Hawkes, Rich Zaszewski, Brian Kost and Chris A ndreadis , the squad ju m p e d out to a 6-0-1 s ta r t while defeating arch-rivals H udson C atholic and Bayonne. Prep fought to a 0-0 tie versus Em erson to round the first seven games. C o n ­tr ibu ting to the early season was tight end S tu C lu tte rbuck , who utilized both his size and agility to pose a th rea t to defenses th roughou t the county. T he W a rn o ck - to -H u rd connection seemed flawless, and Paul Q ue used his explosive speed to bolster the g round attack .

T he ir aggressive play on the gridiron provided exc item ent for the fans. T he dedication of each player carried the team , still undefeated , to the biggest showdown of the season — ■ Prep versus N o r th Bergen. W ith over 2000 people in a t ten d an ce a t Bruins S tad ium , a surge of Prep spirit was felt th rough the cold night air. T he team cam e out and fought, giving their best effort. Even though the ou tcom e was not in P re p ’s favor, the team had battled valiantly.

A lthough they fell short o f reach ing the county championship, the players could still feel satisfied, knowing th a t they played to the best o f their ability. T hey had produced a fine season of Prep football for their fans, for themselves.

FROSH FOOTBALLT ) rep frosh football began the ir jou rney to the varsity level A with a ste llar season, winning seven times while losing and tying only once. T h e backbone was its exem plary defense which was scored upon in only two gam es for a tota l o f 18 points. The offensive line was a similarly impressive force, paving the way for running backs Pedro C irino and M ike M edrano while protecting q u a r te rb a ck A ziz Little.

T he squad s g rea tes t asset, however, was neither a player nor a coach; it was team unity. T h ey s ta r ted the ir season a t a “ trust cam p. Project A d v en tu re” was designed to help the team grow in faith. All m em bers took p ar t in exercises which helped to in­crease morale am ong team m em bers and fostered unity. “ Project A d v en tu re” gave freshmen knowledge of each other. T he coaches also des ignated m a n d a to ry study times before gam es and practices to help team m em bers so they could grow as s tuden ts also. Unlike varsity or JV players, the frosh team is composed of players who do not know each other, so this cam p, though not d irectly involved in football, was one of the most im por tan t steps along the ir jo u r ­ney.

U nfor tuna te ly , the season ended on a disappointing note — the only loss o f the year. Barry T sang sum m ed it up well: “ W e win as a team and we lose as a team it’s nobody’s fault th a t we lost.”

FORENSICST he a r t of public speaking and debate has been an important

par t of our history as a nation. Orators such as Patrick Henry and Sam uel A dam s had crucial roles in the establishment of the United States; the historic debates between A braham Lincoln and Stephen Douglas shaped the ideas of people and policymakers of the day. Thus, forensics has had a long, distinguished history in our evolution as a country.

T h a t sam e a r t is now practiced by members of one of the most successful activities at Prep; for the last five years, our forensics team has cap tured first place in the N ew ark Catholic Forensics League N .C .F .L .. M oderators Ms. M arie C urry and M r. Frank Betkowski spent countless hours assisting and p reparing team members for meets; Capta ins Dan Boland and Jay Russell also helped guide the team to victory over local rivals.

T he week of practice before each meet was rigorous, the stu­dents practicing several hours each day in preparation for com­petition. A t the end of the season, the league selected represen­tatives from various categories to participate in a national com­petition; participants were chosen based on the point totals ac­cum ulated during the course of the season. During recent years Prep has consistently sent the highest num ber of students from the N .C .F .L . to the Nationals which were held in Boca Raton, Florida this year. Selection to the N ationals and contribution to the team were the two goals which inspired the hard work of rehearsing.

Being a m em ber of the team, though, did not simply entail reading poetry or reciting an inaugural address. Rather, it was a tim e for students to share their ta lents with each other and with competitors from other schools. The meets provided an oppor­tunity for interaction in an inter-scholastic setting, a chance to make acquaintances and build friendships.

CROSS-COUNTRYR unning th rough all types of w eather , jogging for m i l e s __

this was the grueling workout o f the Prep cross-countryteam.

It took ex traord inary endu rance to perform through the four- month-long season. T he m ajor i ty of the team was com prised of sophomores and juniors. T h e seniors on the roster were capta in T .J . Sullivan and M ike Page. T he team had an in jury-riddled season, yet still cam e close to a C ity and S ou th H udson c h a m ­pionship. As the team tried to win the city cham pionsh ip for a seventh consecutive year, Alex D ru m m o n d finished first place overall and A nthony Velez second. In hopes of keeping a five year reign over the S ou th H udson C ham pionsh ip in tact, Alex D ru m ­m ond again finished first and Velez a close third.

All m em bers s truggled th rough the daily two hour practice. T he practices often entailed a run to ei ther L iberty S ta te or L in­coln P ark and back. Coach M ike Burgess hoped th a t these p rac ­tices would condition them for all o f the ir meets.

T he te a m ’s dedication was m ade evident th rough the ir willing­ness to prac tice and strive for h igher goals. T hey could often be seen sitting in the foyer, aw ait ing the d a y ’s practice.

SPIRITCOMMITTEE

O n a normal afternoon at Prep, the usual commotion of a school day would give way to tranquil quiet in the hallways.

Two or three students could be seen running from floor to floor arm ed with masking tape and fliers; this was only part of the tireless work of the Spirit Committee.

The artw ork of Jude Cam acho, David Fallon, Justin Jaucian, M ike Lapinski, An Le, Joe Pierre, Justin Skripak, and N ick Wong provided the signs posted around the school and the banners which decorated the cafeteria, including the spectacular “ Best of Both W orlds” banner which adorned the W arren S treet facade of the English Building. Co-moderators Mr. F rank Betkowski and Ms. Jeanne Scanlan, along with president Dennis Egan, helped to coordinate the efforts of the many people involved with Spirit Committee.

Besides m aking fliers and banners, they were also responsible for organizing the pep rallies held a t the s ta r t of each season; slogans for this year’s rallies included Smells Like Prep Spirit, Rebir th of Prep Spirit, and Beef Stu.

Perhaps the most visible par t of the Spirit Com m ittee is em ­bodied in the M aroon M a rauder and his two henchmen. This year, S tu C lu tte rbuck was “ anoin ted” M a rauder for the winter season to replace Colin Rigby; T.J . Sullivan and Jude Cam acho remained the henchmen throughout. Together, they led the school in cheers a t the rallies, and the Prep contingent at various sporting events. During the football season, they also took par t in the Prep C aravan — the first one organized in recent years.

The work of the Spirit Com m ittee was evident in almost every facet of Prep life: from Cochrane field to Hogan hall. N o t only did they inspire the athletes, but also the rest of the student body.

WALK-A-THONhe S tu d en t Council began organizing the P rep W alk-a- thonvery early in the school year. It was b rought back this year

so th a t the whole school could par t ic ipa te in the fundra iser to­gether. O rgan izers also hoped th a t the W alk -a - thon would raise m ore money th a n the P rep Olym pics had last yea r— money for th a t fundra iser was raised by cha rg ing a ten dollar s ignup fee for each event.

T h e 1992 W alk-a- thon was held on O ctober 27, the rou te pass­ing th rough downtown Jersey C ity into Hoboken. In assemblies held before the event, M r. Raslowsky and the S tu d en t Council encouraged each s tuden t to raise forty dollars. T hough this goal was not met, a sum of app rox im ate ly $16000 was raised by the school, bea ting last y e a r ’s to ta l by $7000.

T he walk helped bolster school spirit in several ways. It allowed studen ts and teachers to relax, to be an in teract ing com m unity outside of school. Prizes like C D players and gift certif ica tes m o­tivated individual s tudents to raise hundreds of dollars. T h e ma- rau d e r and the school band helped to galvanize the s tuden ts a s ­sembled in the courtya rd before the walk. Signs posted by the S piri t C om ittee inspired the school to “ W alk like Heck!”

This was all done in the hope th a t P rep s tudents could con­tr ib u te to the school in a tangib le way; in fact, the money raised by the W alk -a - thon paid for a new van bought by the school. This is the u l t im ate dem onstra t ion of spirit a t P rep — doing service.

VARSITYSOCCER

W ednesday, A ugust 12 — the first day of prac tice for the Prep soccer team . T he first gam e was over a m onth away,

but in th a t m onth , the players tru ly becam e a “ te a m ,” not in term s of cuts and line-up changes, but ra th e r a com ing together o f all d iffe rent people into a single unit. It was a season filled with c a m a ra d e r ie and emotion, in which the team em bodied a Prep ideal. Each player worked to lift the team to victory, and the team worked as a unit to support and help each player. The m any accolades and aw ards received could not have been possible without a com plete team effort. T h ro u g h the course of the season friendships were forged, self es teems were raised, and a c h a m ­pionship was won. Nonetheless, the season was not abou t the thrill o f victory or the agony of defeat but ra th e r the unity of the team.

Y ears from now as the Prep soccer team looks back on 1992, they will see a team which was a g rea t on paper success. It has been 14 years since Prep last won a county soccer championship; the ou ts tanding effort from the entire te am and coaching s ta ff drove the squad to a 14-5-1 record and the H C I A A Soccer Co- C oun ty C ham pionsh ip . T he Prep booters recorded a record-tying ten shu touts , six of them com ing dur ing a seven-game winning s treak. M any players received individual recognition; in fact, every s ta r te r received some aw ard for his accom plishm ents on the field.

T he coaching s ta f f was recognized with head coach, John Irvine, winning the Jersey City Coach of the Y ea r A w ard in ju s t his third year as the varsity head coach. Nonetheless, all these aw ards pale in com parison to the gifts the players had given each other.

The team th a t was so g rea t on paper was also som ething special in real life.

JV SOCCERT he 1992 JV soccer season m arked a tim e of tra n ­

sition for the team . M any key players from the previous two seasons advanced to the varsity level; also, illness and in ju ry am ong players w eakened the team depth. T he arrival o f new head coach, M r. R ich Cirm inello , forced team m em bers to ad just rap id ly to the new system . M any of the freshm en on the team w ere sm all in s ta tu re , pu tting them a t a d isadvan tage w hen facing bigger team s.

T he fifth gam e of the season m arked a turn ing point; P rep’s shu tou t o f Ferris ignited a four-gam e stretch during which Prep goalies allowed no goals. T he de­fense had been strong since the beginning of the sea­son and the offense began working m ore cohesively; the g rueling practices held a t H udson C ounty P ark w ere now resulting in victories on the field. R e turn encounters w ith K earney and N o rth Bergen evidenced the im provem ent o f the team , revealing their ability to work together. T he Prep booters also played well against S t. Benedict’s, one o f the coun ty’s m ost for­m idable opponents.

A fter w inning several close gam es, the team faced undefeated N o rth Bergen for the county cham pion­ship. A lthough Prep lost the gam e, it was clear th a t the team had com e a long w ay since the days o f soccer cam p: the p layers had developed m ore confidence in them selves and their team m ates; a sense o f team w ork had evolved du ring th e season; they gained th e respect o f team s in their conference. W hile the goal o f win­ning a cham pionship was not achieved, the players could still tak e pride in a season characterized by perseverance and com m itm ent.

JV WRESTLINGT he performance of this year’s Junior Varsity team

was impressive. T here were m any first-year wrestlers on the squad with no prior experience who quickly learned all the techniques they needed. Each wrestler dem onstrated talent and determ ination.

T he coaches who knew th a t it would be difficult for the novices to learn how to w restle were pleased with the perform ance of the team . They knew it would be difficult for newcomers to become accustom ed to endurance conditioning and “cutting weight” in ad­dition to learning technique. But the team surprised them by handling all this very well. There were points during the season when the coaches had to substitute some of the J.V. wrestlers into the varsity lineup. These athletes delivered com m endable perform ances in this capacity, always doing their best for the team.

The difficult opponents faced this season challenged P rep’s J.V. wrestlers, whose accomplishments includ­ed defeating N orth Bergen. Individual members of the team show a g rea t deal of promise for the years to come; they possess talent and determ ination which m ust be refined into a winning ability. Coaches and wrestlers are confident th a t these young Prepsters will be next year’s winners.

DRAMATICS

T he th ea te r is said to be a place w here the reality of living is elevated to an a rt form . Each production affects m em bers

of its audience in d ifferen t ways, arousing feelings of sorrow, elation and inspiration. T he actors who stage perform ances strive to cap tu re the personalities of the ir characters, and to b rea the life into the words of a script.

It is w ith this dedication th a t the P rep D ram atics Society puts on two th ea trica l productions every year: a m usical in the w inter and a d ram a in the spring. This year’s m usical was Brigadoon, a story about two hun ters who w ander into a Scottish village which comes to life once every hundred years.

U nder the d irection of M r. Jack C am pion and M r. D arran H anson, work on the m usical began early in the school year, with a cast assem bled by the end of Septem ber. Com posed of students from Prep and S ain t D om inic A cadem y, the players began the arduous task of practicing dialogue, m usical num bers, and dance routines; they could be found rehearsing in th e cafeteria afte r school daily.

For the week before perform ance, rehearsals were held a t the Roy Irving T h ea ter a t S ain t P e te r’s College in order to fam iliarize the cast w ith the auditorium .

T he P rep Band provided the m usical score for Brigadoon; M r. R obert G arcia led the ir daily practices in p reparation for the perfo rm ance . T h e show ’s dancing was choreographed by Lisa D ondero, sophom ore a t S a in t D om nic A cadem y. T he perform ance of Jam es G u tie rrez and L ani B atac stopped the show, as it did last year. L iam O ’Brien, Sean M cD onald and A nthony A ndres w ere also impressive.

S cottish life was tru ly elevated to a r t during those th ree days in Jan u ary . Each night b rought full houses, each which left w ith a little bit o f m iraculous Brigadoon.

STAGE CREW

W hile the perform ance of the actors and the actresses re­ceives the applause, the re are o ther elem ents of d ram atic

production such as stage crew. T heir work, which takes place behind and between scenes, com plem ents th a t of the cast.

W ork for the w inter production, Brigadoon, began very early in th e school year when a team of artists, led by Dick W ong, sta rted to design the backdrops for the sets. A fter two m onths of work, they had m anaged to reproduce the rolling hills o f Scotland on a canvas fifteen feet high.

By the tim e school was in session, the crew was ready to begin actual construction of the sets. T heir efforts were coordinated by production m anager R ay V argas. They were responsible for build­ing the largest set of the last few years.

A fter spending four m onths building trees, stairs, booths, scrim flats, and boulders, the stage crew had only com pleted p art o f its task. T he week before the perform ance was spent learning scene changes, gauging sound levels, coordinating lighting cues, and rehearsing w ith th e cast.

D uring the perform ance, the crew w orked cohesively, w ith each person com pleting his assignm ents w ith precision and efficiency. S tage m anagers Jerem y Pugh and Seam us O ’M alley played cru ­cial roles in the production, as did lighting m anager Rob Ben- acchio and sound m anager H ans K aspersetz; the ir contributions, although unseen, enabled the perform ances to proceed smoothly.

YEARBOOKT hose students who work on th e yearbook are asked to cap tu re

the im portan t aspects of the year on paper, th rough pictures and w riting. They have the responsibility to represent fully the P rep com m unity.

T he organization of this year’s book began in June of 1992. R epresen tatives from the new publisher, H erff Jones, cam e to P rep to help design the cover, develop them e ideas, and w ork on various layouts. O ver the sum m er, M s. S usan Baber composed the editorial staff; w ith two retu rn ing editors, the new editors had to learn the ir specific responsibilities before they could begin the ac tua l task of producing a book.

D uring the school year, the P etrean was produced by a large group of s ta ff m em bers whose w ork com plem ented th a t o f the editors. T heir jobs included everything from cropping photos to proofreading copy.

In addition to the change in publisher, the re w ere several other changes which took place this year. M s. S uzanne G rab ler joined M s. Baber as co-m oderator of th e book. T he g rea test difference however betw een this year’s book and those from previous years is th e fo rm at o f the book. Events th a t w ere not covered in the past, such as liturgies and rallies, received coverage this year. S tuden ts will also receive a spring supplem ent in addition to the yearbook w hich will allow for m ore in-depth coverage of spring sports and includes coverage of events like th e Junior R ing M ass and g raduation .

DANCECOMMITTEE

U nlike m any other activities a t Prep, the w ork of the Dance C om m ittee does not take place on a day-to-day basis; in­

stead, p reparation for each dance begins approxim ately ten days beforehand. These days are spent publicizing the dance — posting flyers around P rep and notifying other schools about the upcom ing event.

M em bers begin to b reak down the cafeteria the day before the dance, pu tting aw ay chairs and tables. They also com e in several hours before the dance itself to finish preparation: they set up rooms in B urke H all for coat check, and they help the D .J. arrange his equipm ent; also, lighting m anager Jam es T esta coordinates th e lighting schem e, for the dance. Before they adm it students, co -presidents H yun K im and A m ro M oham m ed explain each m em ber’s assignm ents for the night, which include w orking the en trance and the rooms for coat check.

O nce the dance has ended, they m ust sweep and mop the floor. They also begin the restoration of the cafeteria by pu tting out the chairs and tables; this usually lasts an hour.

This year, the dances fea tu red a wide a rray of m usic, ranging from classic rock n ’ roll to reggae and hip-hop. This was m ade possible by the efforts of M r. Jam es Dondero, the m oderator, who hired D .J .’s w ith varied tastes. H is guidance and the dedicated w ork o f com m ittee m em bers resulted in quality dances throughout the year.

PETROCFor several reasons, this year was a new beginning for The

Petroc. W ith a new m oderator, M r. Jam es DeAngelo, and a new group of editors, The Petroc sta ff decided to change its form at while m aintaining the standards th a t had guided it in the past. For the first tim e, Prep’s newspaper used an in-house desktop publishing form at, allowing layouts to be completed a t Prep be­fore being sent out. This form at reduced the production cost from about 90£ to 14£ per issue which increased the num ber of issues published during the school year.

From the beginning of the year, the them e for The Petroc was “ relevance.” T he newspaper sta ff strove to cover topics directly related to the school; by aim ing for relevance, they hoped to produce a newspaper to which Prep’s students could relate more easily. It was occasionally necessary to incorporate ideas not directly within the Prep sphere, but in general, the newspaper was a m anifestation of Prep life.

T he sta ff felt th a t it could take a few risks without sacrificing the integrity of the paper. Such touchy topics as locker room theft and “dipping” were addressed in a pro /con form at. S taffers felt it was necessary to deal with such issues which directly related to the students and affected their lives. This presentation of both sides o f the topic gave readers a balanced assessment of the issues and prevented readers from feeling th a t viewpoints were being “ forced down their throats.”

In m any ways, The Petroc m et and exceeded the expectations of students and faculty. For the last four years, a m axim um of four issues of the newspaper had been released during the school year. T he fourth issue was out by late February this year, with more issues released by the end of the school year. A nother im provement was th a t each issue of the paper was lengthened from 4-6 pages in previous years to 8-12 pages. T he use of newsprint gave the paper an air o f authenticity , while the ad ­dition of such gimmicks as statistics and the “ In B rie r’ column added diversity to the paper. W hile the first issue was lacking photos, subsequent issues were w ell-adorned with the handiwork of the cam era club. In short, The Petroc changed in positive ways this year while m aintaining those attribu tes which had endeared it to students, faculty, and alum ni in years past.

JV HOCKEYA midst severe complications with w eather con­

d itions and schedu ling , th e 1992-1993 JV Hockey team m anaged to post a winning record of 4- 3-0. The team was quite young, utilizing a wealth of freshm an talent; included in this new crop of skaters were Jason M cG urk and Steven Com andatore, both of whom added scoring punch to the offense.

The team was led by the perform ance of forwards Jason Russell, M ike Stack, N ick W arnock, and Chris W elrhahn. Defensemen Craig A um ack, Kevin C al­abrese, M ike C hanfrau , and Chris Peterson did well in preventing the opposition from scoring. The M a­rauders also received strong goaltending from fresh­m an J R. Doria.

T he four Prep victories cam e against Brick Town­ship, M ontclair, and perennial powerhouse Sain t Joe’s of M etuchen. T he team lost both of its games against Seton Hall Prep and suffered a tough 7-0 defeat at the hands o f Saint Joe’s of M etuchen in the away game.

T he high point of the season was the home game against Sain t Joe’s. A fter a scoreless first period, Ja ­son Russell scored off a pass from N ick W arnock at the 1:58 m ark in the second period. This lone goal proved enough as goaltender J.R . Doria turned away forty-one shots on goal to clinch the shutout.

Everything seemed to come together in this final gam e of the season for the Prep icemen. Coach A ndre Bou praised the team for its hard work on and off the ice. Though continuity was repeatedly disrupted by cancellations and a lack of experience for several key players, the JV Hockey team proved its dedication by having a winning season.

SCHOOL LIFE

Each person’s journey is a unique experience. Yet there are events in which we all partake; these are the things which unite us a community. W hether it be a group discussion in History class or the recital of prayer during Mass, we share some sort of common bond, something that en­compasses us all.

Prep is that common bond. The g rea test opportun ity we have as members of this community lies in the events which bring us all togeth­er. It lies in what we can give to our peers, and in what we can receive. It lies in what we can share along the road.

ADMINISTRATIONI n any com m unity, th e re m ust be people who can provide both

leadersh ip and gu idance for its m em bers. A t Prep, our a d ­m in istration are en trusted w ith the responsibility of w orking in the best in terests of the s tuden t and faculty; it is their job to fo rm ulate policy consistent w ith the philosophy of Prep, to be sensitive to the needs of the school and its m em bers.

W ith the com m issioning of M r. John Raslowsky, class of ’79, as the first lay principal in P rep ’s history, an atm osphere o f change surrounded his arrival. H e helped to foster a d ifferent dynam ic betw een the adm in istra tion and the rest of the school; this becam e evident as early as orien tation when he sta ted his office would be open anytim e a studen t w anted to talk.

T aking a m ore active role in studen t life was one of the keynotes for the year. For instance, th e adm inistra tion provided im petus for s tuden t-run activities such as the revitalized W alk-a-thon and the series o f events on cu ltu ra l aw areness. T here was, in general, a m ore visible willingness to w ork w ith students on improving life a t Prep.

T he adm in istra tion functioned well as a unit. T he president, Fr. Jam es Joyce, S .J., and the vice-president, M r. Jam es H oran, w orked on the public relations aspect o f school affairs. The new treasu rer, M r. R ichard D aquila, helped regulate school’s finances. T he dean of students, M r. Jam es Collins, and his assistant, M r. D avid S ettem bre, supervised P rep ’s co-curricular activities and enforced the rules in the studen t handbook. F inally, the principal, M r. John Raslowsky, and the vice-principal, M r. P atrick Reidy, w ere responsible for the day-to-day adm inistra tion of the school.

T he goal o f the school adm inistra tion , as always, has been to develop well-rounded students, people who are academ ically skilled and socially aw are. Even the rules set fo rth in the handbook are m ean t to help students m ature, to accept and apprecia te respon­sibilities. This year proved unique in th a t a balance was struck betw een trad itional values such as these and a stress on change and tak ing new directions.

GUIDANCEE ntering high school, any studen t is inundated with decisions

to m ake, bo th academ ic and social; th e re a re im portan t choices which will provide direction in his life.

G iven the im portance of such decisions, P rep provides its s tu ­dents w ith a guidance departm en t com posed of m en and women tra ined in addressing adolescent problem s in school and outside; they are also able to provide valuab le inform ation about college and career choice.

In addition to this, departm en t m em bers offer academ ic coun­seling. In freshm an year, when students a re still try ing to ad just to a new environm ent, counselors closely m onitor the progress of th e ir students. T hey are usually one of the first people to know w hen som eone is struggling in a class. They try to stop the problem from getting w orse by calling in the studen t and his paren ts if necessary; the ir p rim ary concern is helping students to deal ef­fectively w ith problem s.

O nce s tuden ts begin tak ing ach ievem ent tests and P S A T s, counselors s ta r t p reparing them for issues rela ted to college - everything from scholarship opportunities to viable career choices. In Jun io r year, every s tuden t is interview ed by either M r. D ondero or Fr. Balduf, S .J., to discuss his transcrip t, activities, interests, and prelim inary college choices. T hey try to fam iliarize every s tuden t w ith the process of choosing a college before he begins to apply to various schools. They also hold sem inars for the parents of jun io rs and seniors to acquain t them w ith the application proc­ess and to provide fairly detailed inform ation about financial aid options.

T he guidance counselors a re not there solely to take care of “ official business” like academ ics and colleges; most often, the in teraction betw een studen t and counselor is one of inform al dis­cussion, a chance to ta lk about problem s w ith someone who can offer a d ifferen t, m ore m atu re perspective than one’s friends.

Success for any of our counselors is seeing their students suc­ceed, w atching them achieve goals which they set for themselves.

G rea t works of litera tu re , past and present, expose P rep stu ­dents to a varie ty of w riting styles and genres. T he focus th rough­out the four years o f English is not on g ram m ar, but ra th e r on w riting. S tuden ts in the ir first and second years take a w riting lab to improve their skills; the exposure to a variety of works, ranging from H uckleberry Finn to H am let, also helps to enhance the ir w riting techniques.

In the ir freshm an year, students study short stories and begin building the ir vocabularies. Sophom ore year introduces students to A m erican lite ra tu re and various poets who find the ir roots in A m erica. T he th ird year of English consists of a survey of British lite ra tu re , both prose and poetry. T he last year offers electives ranging from G host and H orror Fiction to Sports L ite ra tu re to A .P . English.

T he curricu lum helps students reach for a deeper understanding o f the ir lives, a better appreciation for the a r t expressed through words. S tuden ts have the chance to explore how the g reat authors thought, to see a world enlivened by w onderful im agery and grace­ful prose. In the end, it is an insight into understanding and ex­pressing oneself.

C hristian lifestyles to o thers stressing the value of prayer. R e­gardless of the course, the em phasis is placed on exposing students to the com plexity of C hristian faith.

Freshm an religion is an introduction to C hristian ity ; non-Chris- tian students are given the option of tak ing a course on personal developm ent. All students take a survey course on the Scrip tures in the ir second year, moving beyond the words for a m ore con­tex tual understanding of the Bible. In jun io r year, a m orality course is ta u g h t which studies C hristian ethics and values. The final year of religion offers seniors m ore flexibility in course se­lection, w ith electives lasting one sem ester.

T he m ain goal of the whole four-year sequence is to give stu ­dents a com m on grounding in the C hristian faith . S tudents are asked to draw personal conclusions on religion from this com mon understanding , which is the point a t which religion becomes some­th ing real in a teenager’s life.

ET ALIIT hroughout his en tire tim e a t P rep, a studen t takes m andatory

courses in religion, English, languages, m ath , and science. In order to expose students to o ther fields however there are also courses offered which are not included in a trad itional curriculum .

Physical education is a four year requirem ent tau g h t by M r. C hris L anzalo tto and M r. A nthony C risalli, th is program is de­signed to develop s tuden ts’ streng th and endurance as well as their know ledge of various sports; students m ay w ork out in the weight room or p artic ipa te in organized activities in the gym. E ach m ark ­ing period students take a skills test, which evaluate their progress in the class. However, students who play on one of P rep ’s sports team s do not have to p a rtic ip a te in th is class during the ir re ­spective seasons.

F reshm an are required to take apprecia tion courses in a r t and m usic. E ach class lasts one sem ester and teaches the fundam entals of each sub ject. In m usic, M r. R o b ert G arc ia leads students th roughou t the history of m usic from the 17th century to the present tim e, and teaches basic m usic theory. U pperclassm en may build on th is foundation by electing courses on playing specific instrum ents or styles of m usic such as Jazz. In a rt, M r. Jam es Bischoff teaches freshm an how to pain t and sketch w ith various

J m edia. H e often takes students into the surrounding com m unity to explore artistically the n a tu re and m an m ade environm ent. This hand-on w ork is often supplem ented by reports on artis ts of var­ious periods.

For one sem ester, sophom ores take an in troductory course in com puters, tau g h t by M r. Tom K endall. This course focuses on developing com puter literacy and on knowing B A SIC program ­m ing. Sophom ores also take d river’s education for one sem ester, in place of physical education. S tuden ts w atch films and study basic and defensive driving; M r. C hris L anzalotto conducts this course, which ends w ith students tak ing the N ew Jersey w ritten

exam .U pperclassm en — especially seniors — have m ore freedom in

constructing the ir course loads. They m ay choose pre-professional courses such as Journalism and A ccounting. S tan d ard C hem istry and Physics classes m ay be com plem ented by C om puter Science and B io-C hem istry courses. Seniors m ay choose specialized Eng­lish and H istory classes such as W ar in L ite ra tu re or T he Civil W ar. A ll o f these options allow studen ts to becom e m ore ac­countable for their education. U ltim ately, they help students choose the d irection they would w ant the ir lives to take, and provide some of the skills for th a t journey.

THE MATH DEPARTMENT

M athem atics is a study of the abstract; it deals w ith perfect models and ideal scenarios. T he courses offered in m ath ­

em atics a t Prep are designed to expose students to a world which seems to rise above the real world.

T he m ath curricu lum consists of a required 3-year sequence of A lgebra I, G eom etry , and T rigonom etry. The 4th year electives range from F inancial A ccounting to A P C alculus. This flexibility in senior year allows students to pursue studies which are best suited to the ir needs and talents.

Courses offered are designed so th a t each year o f study builds on the previous years. T he foundation in num bers and symbols provided by A lgebra I enables students to work with m ore complex functions in the ir jun io r year; work with geom etrical models in sophom ore year can be applied to the study of C alculus. The cu rricu lum is an continuum with the base of knowledge expanding on previous m aterial.

It is also a continuum because it is m eant, ultim ately, to extend beyond the classroom and into the real world. T he teachers try to give students some basic tools in problem solving and deductive reasoning as well as the ability to transla te real situations into lucid m ath models. By stressing the use of home notebooks, the d ep artm en t goes a step fu rth e r in helping students become dis­ciplined and organized in the ir work.

The goal o f the m ath departm en t is to help students to a deeper understanding of the world around them . Though the subject is ab s trac t, it is also very real and concrete, affecting people’s lives daily.

SCIENCES ince the daw n of hum ankind , people have struggled to un ­

derstand the world around them . In this quest, tools of ob­servation and m easurem ent have been created , and laws and th e ­ories have been evolved. C ontem porary students learn from the vast am ount o f scientific research which has taken place over thousands of years.

T he P rep cu rricu lum provides a strong grounding in basic sci­entific knowledge and skills intended to be not only preparation for fu tu re study, b u t also an aid to understanding situations in life. M ost o f the freshm an class takes an in troductory science course although som e students begin w ith biology; by studying biology in the ir first year, these students can pursue study electives in the ir senior year. For the m ajority of students, courses in Bi­ology and C hem istry a re offered in the second and th ird year respectively.

T he facu lty of the departm en t is diverse and distinguished. M r. G regory Boyle was nam ed the E arth Science T eacher o f the Y ear for 1992 by the N ew Jersey E a rth Science T eachers Association. M r. Zaw istow ski was the rec ip ien t o f a g ra n t from the C om ­m onw ealth Institu te , and both Sr. Frances and M r. M errick have w orked w ith the S um m er In stitu te in conducting research.

T he d epartm en t plans fu rth e r to develop the curriculum ; cu r­rently , Physics, and Biochem istry are the only electives being of­fered. T he expansion of the cu rricu lum to incorporate m ore elec­tives and advanced courses is dependent on student in terest and teacher availability . T eachers a re also hoping to m ake g rea ter use o f com puters in the ir classes, having program s which would review class lessons and evaluate studen t progress.

M em bers of the departm en t a re continually try ing to instill a sense of w onder and curiosity in the m inds of the ir students. Their efforts a re rew qarded each tim e a studen t tries better to under­stand his environm ent. They have succeeded in taking science out o f textbooks and pu tting it into the real world.

People study other languages for several reasons: to com m u­n icate b e tte r w ith native speakers; they w ant a deeper appreciation of the cu ltu re of the people; to understand m ore clearly the nu­ances of the ir native language; to in te rp re t the world in a slightly d iffe ren t way. It is w ith these goals in m ind th a t the L anguage D epartm en t offers courses in Spanish , Italian , F rench, G erm an, L atin , G reek and R ussian.

T he curricu lum requires each studen t to take two years of L atin, w hich allow students to learn the g ram m ar and word usage in­volved in reading and understanding pieces of litera tu re . Teachers also in troduce them to R om an custom s and traditions, providing a deeper insight into R om an life. They can continue the ir studies by tak ing L atin III and IV, both being electives.

S tuden t m ust also take two years of a m odern language. Through two years a re usually not enough to foster fluency in speaking, stress is placed on establishing a fam iliarity w ith the language and the cultu re. S tuden ts strive to acquire a w orking vocabulary; basic rules o f g ram m ar and sentence construction are also em ­phasized. T he point o f this approach is to help establish a foun­dation in the language.

A th ird year o f study is available for each of the four m odern languages. T he final year sh ifts em phasis from gram m ar to lit­e ra tu re : reading articles and stories, w riting papers, and w atching foreign films. T here is also a stress on oral com m unication in class.

In the fu ture , Fr. A racich S .J., the departm en t chair, hopes to expand the exchange program . Presently, G erm an students take p art in an exchange w ith students from G erm any. Though this is the only exchange of students from schools in different countries, language teachers do organize annual trips to F rance and Mexico.

T his year, approxim ately 50% of the senior class is enrolled in a th ird year of foreign language; this is the highest percentage in recen t years, an indication of the growing streng th of the de­partm en t. W ith an eye tow ards the fu ture , the curriculum has continued to expand and develop, bringing foreign languages and cu ltu re into P rep classroom.

HISTORYT he study of the past is an ac t th a t is crucial to hum an de­

velopm ent; all of us th ink about and learn from our previous actions. This holds tru e even beyond a personal sen se— exam ­ining our past and th e history of o ther people allows us to gain a deeper understand ing of the present, and a g rea ter appreciation for the events th a t take place all around us.

A t P rep, all freshm en are required to take a course in W orld Civilizations. This course begins w ith a study of ancient cultures and eventually reaches m odern tim es. Besides basic and historical facts, freshm en are exposed to a rt, arch itec tu re , and other cu ltu ral aspects o f each civilization. T he departm en t does this in order to instill in students a respect and appreciation for o ther cultures, while providing a foundation for developing basic analytical skills.

S tuden ts renew this study of h istory in Jun io r year, beginning a two year overview of A m erican H istory. This course continues to em phasize m ulti-cu ltura lism , while also developing in students th e h istorical m ind or the h istorical process. By w orking on various docum ents or o ther sources, students learn how to analyze data and com e to conclusions about events.

In Senior year, studen ts choose from a num ber of elective cours­es: R ussian H istory , M odern E uropean H istory, U .S. and C om ­parative G overnm ent, T he Civil W ar, and C ontem porary Issues. These courses fu rth e r the developm ent of each s tuden t’s critical th inking skills. A lthough each elective covers d ifferen t topics, they all hope to m ake students critica l thinkers and decison-m akers in te rm s of public policy, a skill necessary for a productive life beyond P rep classroom s.

I nspiration is a g ift which reveals itself in m any ways!» a good song, a spring flower, an ac t of bravery. The most profound

inspiration, though, is em bodied in people who are guided by a g rea t purpose in life. E ach of us has m et individuals who have inspired us in unique ways. M r. W alte r Koszyk is such a person.

H e is a m an who does not seek th e spotlight for the service he offers to others. H e has been a teacher a t P rep for tw enty-one years; during th a t tim e, he has ta u g h t English to freshm en, soph­om ores, and juniors. H is com m itm ent to helping his students be­com e be tte r w riters is evident not only in his English classes but also in his w ork in the W riting Lab. Scores of P rep m en no longer dangle particip les, confuse to — too — two, or use the atrocious colloquialism “ a lo t.” H e has tau g h t a health course and the second level of G erm an. H e was the m oderator for the Boxing C lub, and one of the founders of the academ ic clinic. H e is an E m m aus brother,

M r. Koszyk has also been on the o ther side of the desk — he is a m em ber of the Prep class of 1960. H e w ent on to St. P e te r’s College, from which he g radua ted in 1964; he also com pleted his M asters D egree in E ducation a t S t. P e te r’s,

Even beyond the classroom setting, he has lived a life of service. H e is a m em ber of the T h ird O rder o f S t. F rancis, an organization w hich encourages a pow erful form of C hristian living. Each m em ­ber learns the R ule of S a in t F rancis, choosing to try to live out religious ideals m ore fully. H is sense of service to his country has been m ade evident th rough his own two tours of du ty for the U nited S ta tes Arm y.

H is teaching career is not d istinguished by a flam boyance in front o f the chalkboard , bu t ra the r, by the personal care which he exhibits tow ard each of his students; he is eager to share his own life experiences w ith his students, tak ing the tim e out to go beyond the textbook and offer som ething m ore real. T h a t reality could be a soldier’s journey , a bit of the folklore of Bayonne or H oboken, or perhaps the exploits of one of his children. H e firm ly believes th a t his job as an educator is to help us realize our own potential. H is w ork is th a t of enabling and em powering us to do our best. H e brings w ith him an a ttitu d e of faith in the individual; he helps us believe in ourselves.

M r. Koszyk does not ask for recognition. H e is content to stay behind the cu rta in and let his students shine. H e is a m an strong in his faith and in his service to others. H e is one of those rare individuals who selfless actions a re a source of inspiration for us all. T he 1993 P etrean is ded icated to a m an who has dedicated his life to Prep. M r. Koszyk, for all th a t you have given, m aking our four years here so special, we th an k you.

A journey exposes the traveler to the v ib ran t energy of being

alive. The inspiration of others moves us to do more, to be more, to make the most of who we are. Prep pro­vides that chance for exploration, for seeing possibilities for the first time. It allows us to realize that the world is not limited to 144 Grand St. and that this is a starting point, not an end point.

P eople are searching for some deeper meaning to life, finding

out that there’s a place to belong. Prep allows us to feel like part of something bigger; it allows each per­son to discover the value of com­munity. The journey is not a singular trail running far away from every­thing else but rather, a point in the middle of things, among friends; it is being able to sit down and talk with anyone in the cafeteria, and knowing there’s something to be learned from each person who walks the halls . . .

173

Page 176: 1993 Petrean
Page 177: 1993 Petrean

T he process of lea rn in g and growth never ends. Each en­

counter in life is a step forward. We learn th a t there a ren ’t only two choices — taking it or leaving it. So much of what we do is about chang­ing it. Prep is not the same as it was four years ago — each person has some unique effect on the place. Each person’s journey changes everyone else’s journeys. Each experience is some sort of growth, some greater realization of self and others. We strive to understand our lives better; we strive to break through in some way. Prep is the chance to do this . . .

L

Page 178: 1993 Petrean

P rep is a celebration of living: hope, fe a r , and co u rag e all

throw n together; freedom and re ­sp o n sib ility ; love and la u g h te r; reaching for the stars; liking who you are; realizing that Prep is a part of you; realizing that you are a part of Prep . . . It is all a journey . . . it is all Prep.

IN MEMORIAM

“How ya doin’, men?” . . . “Stemus et oremus!” . . . “Fie on you!” . . . “The girls don’t come until 2:30!” . . .

None passing through Hogan Hall could escape the resounding voice of Rev. Edward TL Dolan, SJ. Since 1963, Fr. Dolan had instilled his wisdom and knowledge of the Classics upon all those he knew. His hu­morous but dignified spirit captivated his students. Through his generous efforts he commanded respect; his dedication to learning inspired his students in the pursuit of success. Though he passed, his memory remains in the hearts of those whom he touched.

Fr. Dolan was a man of true generosity, always willing to give of his time and knowledge. Though a demanding teacher, he always found ways to make the class exciting. His unique sense of humor provided a laugh to brighten one’s day. Despite being old fashioned, he connected with each student as an individual.

Fr. Dolan was not just a teacher, he was an institution. In his words and actions, he embodied the Prep spirit of a “man for others.” Thus, the Prep community bids a fond farewell, “It was good to have ya . . . thanks for coming!”

Rev. Edward E. Dolan, S.J.

Som e groups w ent to clubs in the city, o thers w ent to the shore, still o thers ju s t w andered around tak ing in as m uch of the spirit as they could. T he prom was a relief from tension and a n ight to rem em ber.

T he ring m ass was p a rt of the final tr a n ­sition into Senior year. A t this year’s mass, M r. R eiser gave the hom ily in which he com ­p a re d h is own p erso n a l tr a n s itio n in to th e priesthood w ith the class of ’94s transition into senior year. T he rings d istribu ted represent the bond between P rep and her students. They sym bolize the leadersh ip and responsibility th a t accom pany senior year. In som e ways, the ring m ass was a sad m om ent; it m arked the beginning of the last year the class of ’94 would spend together a t Prep.

These two events brought jun iors to the re ­a lization of the transition th a t was going on. T hey w ould no longer be followers, b u t be­com e leaders. T he class o f ’94 realized how quickly th ree years had passed by, how they would be leaving. I t was good to share m o­m ents such as these which provide such won­derful m em ories.

Fr. Azzarto explained the symbolism behind the rings to the parents, students, and guests before students ap­proached the faculty members to receive blessings. Mo­desto Rodriguez with Sister Frances. Alan Gawronski with Mr. Raslowsky.

Mr. RobertsFollowing the success o f the winter musical, Brigadoon, Prep dram­

atists reassembled this spring, with hope and dedication they presented their rendition of the World War II drama, Mr. Roberts.

Beginning in early February, tryouts were held in the cafeteria after school. The turnout for auditions was impressive; the decision of who would be cast in which roles in the hands of the director, Mr. Campion, in whose opinion the students who tried out were so good that he had a difficult time in casting the characters. Liam O ’Brien was given the lead role o f Mr. Roberts, while Kevin W ilson, Jason Russell, and Tim ­othy Myer each had supporting roles. Lani Batac from St. Dominic Academ y was given the sole female role in the show.

For two months after that, the students practiced intensely in the cafeteria after school, som etimes for up to four hours at a time. Cos­tuming was again provided for by Mrs. Figur; from the authentic hats to the slicked back hair, all o f the costumes served to compliment the performance o f the cast.

On Friday, M ay 7, the actors finally enjoyed the fruits o f their labor. Lifting the curtain o f the Roy Irving Theater o f St. Peter’s College at 8:03 PM , the colorful and talented cast took stage. Each actor gave a commanding and humorous performance, from Dave W alsh urinating on a palm tree to Jason Russell bursting on stage covered in soap suds. From the onset o f the show until the final applause faded, the dramatists animated the theater with laughter. The cast took their curtain calls receiving the accolades o f the audience.

Even though each night’s performance only yielded modest turnouts, the cast was not disheartened. They went on to put on a performance true to spirit o f Mr. Roberts, and sent the audience home touched by their efforts.

(Above right) Mr. Roberts struggles with the Captain as he tries to find his place in

the war. (R ight) . . . a war that seems to be passing his cargo ship by.
