“T he circle reinforces the n o tio n o f equality,” a Prep stu d en t once said. Positioned on a perfect circle, everyone is on the same level and concen trates on the one focus p o in t in the center. Students at Prep are all p art of th a t circle and w ork aro u n d collective differences for the good o f the com m unity. As we approach the new m illennium , we also brin g to close the old one. Tim e, like a perfect circle, has no beginning and no end. W ith the new m illennium , we have come full circle in m any ways. N ot only are we be g inning a new decade, century and m illennium , b u t we are closer th a n we ever will be to a perfectly circular num ber: 2000. As students begin and com plete each school year, we are pulled into an increasingly w ider circle an d finally com plete o u r journey. U ltim ately we pick up the strands o f a new circle elsewhere.
Circles seem uniform, a n d yet they are always changing. From any p o in t on a circle one has a completely different view, a n d yet one can still see ev 4
ery other p o in t on the circle.
Mrs. Patti is a member of the Prep community who may often go unrecognized, but is truly ap preciated by everyone. Whenever we desperately need to photocopy something, she helps us use the copier. When ever we forget a book in a class room and are locked out, she opens the door for us. Whenever we need to know any information about the school, she gets it for us. Mrs. Patti interacts with more students, faculty, and staff than any other member of the Rutgers Prep community. She makes each and every one of us feel special. Even when we're late to school she greets us with a warm smile. You sometimes wonder whether we deserve all that she does for us. From slipping us pieces of Mrs. Gooen's candy to always being there when we need someone to talk to, it's hard to imagine anyone caring more than Mrs. Patti. The senior class is thankful to her for all the big and small things she's done, but above all for her friendship.

Jason Edward Dychus W ARNER: You just called roe, about an hour before 1started writing this, with just a few questions about our homework. But 1realize how we can rely on each other for the little things and 1 love the way in which we trust one another. I trust you like a brother, and that s what makes you my best friend. Good luck in whatever you may pursue and always remember the good tunes when you’ve had it up to here and are ready to quit. Stuff like: Englishtown, M alone drives the lane and dishes to Stockton, who finishes with a two-hand slam over Ewing!! My speech at your sweet 16. (Me nervous, no-what, never!) NO MAS HABLA Y COSAS CAM BIA N L.l quit. 1saw it twice; two times; back to back- Moesha. Lunch at Mr. B s. And note my solid transition: 1 need new friends... RACHEL: You know that you really love me and E a rn e r no matter now much we embarrass you. N obody can be more amusing than us, no matter what the situation. Anyways, we ve definitely had our ups and downs over the last tour years. 1only hope we can be more stable and avoid past mistakes. 1 love you. I only want to see the best for you after R.PS and 1can only hope that your future includes me because you mean so much to me. So please believe me; OTT, 1only have eyes for you, I love to hear you sing DOO-WOPP(check your spelling as per usual), eat 'neese and it'll be ok; Sweetie (or Cutie, take your pick). Hun; Look Into My Eyes; kiss me? (typical Rach). BEAMER: Hey; it’s my co-peerleader. Thanks for being the best partner in the group; I still think we make the best pairing. And d on't let “pollution” hold you back because you’ll be heard eventually, stay persistent and you'll achieve your goals. CHRISTIE: Fitting after Beamer w ouldn't you say. Thanks for all the talks plus the good advice and all the good times. W e've had some fun over the years, especially in 8th period study hall as a junior. Hold Alex tight so every one can be happy and get maimed together!! EMILY: Finishing out the threesome, thanks for all the good times. I believe you are the first girl I ever talked to in my life for any serious amount o f time (back in fourth grade, d o n 't make this worse than it already sounds.) Remember the good times at Great Adventure, canoeing, and hopefully skiing this winter. Good luck in the circus... KELLY: Hey there; it's Mon and Poke, yeah, from psychology'. Abh; the good tunes in that class; too much to write here. You hold onto to Steve as well to complete the tri-w edding Y ou’ll make a great teacher, but not as good as Rachel. PEERLEADERS: Always remember that she saw it twice and d o n 't forget “How big was it?” For we all know; this b ig ., hmm... nothing like back to back! Take that, take that... MIKE S.: It's a good thing that your assertive because together, with me being passive, we make a great team. O f course. I'd rather work under me than S tandN azzi, but that's just my preference. Thanks for the good times. LISA: W e've had a lot o f fun over the years from hockey in the basement to bounce the ball in the bucket to the race track. I’ll always cheer for the Devils though, so there's nothing you can do about that. Besides, who likes the Rangers anyway? And someday I'll teach you how to pick out some tnfectas too, or at least a $1 exacta box. Thanks for all the memories and just know that I'm really going to miss you while I'm away at college. MOM+DAD: Thanks for everything From Rutgers Prep to all our family vacations and all the great times at the shore, movies, race track, skiing skating you name it. I love you.

Mom and Dad: 1 don't know what to say to the people who created me and gave me all the opportunities I have had. You know how much I love you. 1am going to miss you, but I know you understand, mom, since you are a potter. Grandma Ann, Grandma Claire, Grandpa Burt, Grandpa Marvin, Great -Grandma Sadie: Thank you for always being there for me, and for doing all that you have done for me. I love you all.

Matt Krolak To days of inspiration, playing hooky, making something out of nothing, the need to express - to communicate, to going against the grain, going insane, going mad. To loving tension, no pension, to more than one dimension. To starving for attention, hating convention, hating pretension. To riding your bike midday past the three piece suits to fruits - to no absolutes - to Absolut - to choice - to the Village Voice - to any passing fad. To being an us - for once - instead of a them. —Rent
Welcome to Page #42 Stu: Stuart! You do that again and I'll staple.... you know the rest;) Do you have any idea how much sugar we've consumed between the two of us? I think we could have fed a small third world country on our backstage sugar stash, huh? Bur hur hur? So, just out of curiosity, how much money do you think we made playing quake? Teresa: I have no idea how you survived s.m.ing three consecutive shows. I'm more baffled by how you managed to put up with us... well, Brad and Nick to be specific (Dispute/Test!). CLICK! It would seem that I have gotten the final click, wouldn't it? Rent! Lee: Sorry, you didn't get page 42, it's mine, all mine! Anyway, don't spend too much time rendering. Victor: Word. Aubrey: Click! Yes, 1 now know where Starbucks is... I was just testing you. Yeah, that’s it... Mafia anyone? Cast parties aren’t going to be the same without you. Mrs. Herzberg: I told you that you couldn't retire until after I graduated, thanks for Listening! English may not be my strong point, but your classes have repeatedly been the ones that I had the most fun in and learned the most in. You are an incredible teacher! Ron: 1 told you not to leave until I graduated! Mrs. Herzberg listened to me, so what's up with that? Anyway, I can't thank you enough for introducing me to theater. God knows how I would have gotten through sound for MCM 1940 without you! Plays in the Park is great! Ronnie: Where do you put all that food?!?! I have never in my life seen anyone eat so much. And what's up with those mashed potatoes? (and no stealing tech God’s food!) CTY People: (Christy, Kathy, etc...) Keep the faith, hang up the phones the right way! Don’t forget passion fruit (not that I think that you will...) "A long long time ago, I can still remember how the music used to make me smile. And I knew that if I had my chance, that I could make those people dance, and maybe they’d be happy for a while." Mom and Dad: How can I ever thank you enough? Dad, you’ve worked so hard and long to get me here. Mom, You’ve helped me so much, I could never have gone as far as I did without you. Christie, Emily, and Beam: It's been fun! From Freshamn Camping Trip to graduation, you guys have been rnd. I'll gunna miss you! Julia: Click. Are we having fun yet? After all the plays, I'd say so :) I'm going to miss all you guys. And now for something completely different... A man with a tape recorder up his nose. (Or at the very least, some random stuff that amuses me ;) This planet has - or rather had - a problem, which was this: most of the people living on it were unhappy for pretty much of the time. Many solutions were suggested for this problem, but most of these were largely concerned with the movements of small green pieces of paper, which is odd because on the whole it wasn't the small green pieces of paper that were unhappy. - Douglas Adams The carbonyl is polarized, The delta end is plus. The nucleophile will thus attack. The carbon nucleus. Addition makes an alcohol, Of types there are but three. It makes a bond, to correspond, From C to shining C. - Prof. Frank Westheimer, to "America the Beautiful" Red (narrating): I have to remind myself that some birds aren't meant to be caged. Their feathers are just too bright. And when they fly away, the part of you that knows it was a sin to lock them up DOES rejoice. Still, the place you live in is that much more drab and empty that they're gone. I guess I just miss my friend. I for one cannot protest the recent M.T.A. fare hike and the accompanying promises that this would in no way improve service. For the transit system, as it now operates, has hidden advantages that can't be measured in monetary terms. Personally, I feel that it is well worth 75 cents or even SI to have that unimpeachable excuse whenever I am late to anything: "1 came by subway." Those four words have such magic in them that if Godot should someday show up and mumble them, any audience would instantly understand "his long delay. I always pass on good advice. It is the only thing to do with it.lt is never any good to oneself. -- Oscar Wilde, "An Ideal Husband" Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day, fritter and waste the hours in an offhand way, kicking around on a piece of ground in your hometown, waiting for someone or something to show you the way. Tired of lying in the sunshine, staying home to watch the rain, you are young and life is long, and there is time to kill today. And then one day you find, ten years have got behind you, no one told you when to run you missed the starting gun. And you run and you run to catch up with the sun but it's sinking, and racing around to come up behind you again. The sun is the same in a relative way but you're older, shorter of breath and one day closer to death. Every year is getting shorter, never seem to find the lime - plans that either come to nought, or half a page of scribbled lines. Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way. The time is gone, the song is over, thought I'd something more to say... - Pink Floyd, "Time"

Well, here we are. It is 4:30 Sunday morning. The last performance of the fall was last night, and here we are at the cast party. Everyone is either asleep, or went somewhere else. Victor and I are sitting on the countertop in Lizzie's kitchen talking about, well, heads (and stuff like that). I've given this page so much thought over the past four years, but now that it has come down to putting it together, I can't remember any of it. I guess I'd just like to thank all my friends over the past four years. They all have really made me realize what makes a good friend. There are so many people I want to thank on this page, but as I sit here writing this, I can't think of anything to say. (Aubrey, does that sound familiar?) But seriously, thanks to everyone who has given a damn over the years, and thanks to everyone who has given a damn when no one else has. Thanks.

Morn: I have absolutdy no idea where to begin Your message should lie the easiest one for me to wnle, but for some reason it is incredibly difficult for me to find the words to do justice to what I am feeling You have, without a doubt, been the most dominant influence in my life Even when my father was around, you were the one who had the final say (or so you thought) I mean, who managed to get Mozzarella Cheese and Pudding Pops with the snap o f her fingers? (WdJ, besides tlus, you always had control Ila, ha!) There have been times that 1 fdt you had loo much but I know now that you were just trying to protect your little girl I have always appreciated everytlung tliat you’ve done for me You have given me the guidance and love necessary to get me where 1 am today 1 will never be able to repay you (and you won’t lie able to repay me if you know what I mean $2,067 53 OOPS, I lost count Just kidding) I owe you life I truly do understand that It’s obvious that there is so mudi I want to say, but I don’t have the room, so I’ll make the rest short and sweet For all that you have done and ail that you are, I love you, “Mommy Dearest” Father: Diok what you've missed Charles: 1must begin tins with an apology For so long, I let my immatunly and selfishness cloud all o f your efforts. You tned so hard to be my friend, and I just wouldn’t let you For this, I am truly sorry Having grown since you entered my life, I have come to realize just how great you are You are one o f the kindest people I have ever met. I will never forget our Sunday outings and Saturday morning tarnis matches You have provided an influence that I so desperately needed 1know that I can always turn to you Ihank you for ail that you have done for me and my family 1love you. Nani: To my “naru” For all the pots of collard greens and trays of macaroni & cheese that were just for me, I thank you For all o f the school vacations that I spent with you on Graham Avaiue, I thank you For all o f the valuable life lessoas you taught me - from saving money to cleaning toilet seats - 1thank you And, for all of the times tliat you sat in your chair while I vented about my stresses and for all o f the times that you told me not to cry, I thank you. You did what no one else did You really listened For all this and more, 1love and thank you Unde Dick: Oh, how I wish that you were here With all o f Die stresses in life, I would love to lie able to sit down and play a fun game o f “Old Maid” with you (only if you let me win, o f course) Even as a child, it was easy to see what made holidays so much fun YOU From loud card games to outrageous jokes, your presence brought a joy to all of our hearts Dance recitals haven’t been the same since you left us I will never forget all that you did for me I love you. R IP Aunt Phyllis: To be blunt, for as long as I can remember, I was scared o f you You were the only one who wouldn’t let me cry and stomp my feet to get what I wanted You always set me straight, but you did so out of love looking back, I appreciate how you aimed to keep me in my place Throughout it all, I have never questioned your love. So, to my godmother, from your "Olive Oyl”, I love you l!nde Steve: I honestly don’t blow what to say I love you with all of my heart I remember all o f the holidays spent with you and “Mr Claw” chasing Jasmine and I around the house I remanber all o f the times you told me tliat you were gomg to be the one to approve my first boyfriend I had even told myself that you would be the man to walk me down the aisle on my wedding day All of these dreams died the day you did I don't thmk that I will ever be able to undo-stand why things happened the way they did, but one flung tliat I do understand is how much I was loved by you You always made me fed speaal and you always made me laugh You were a wonderful man and your spint will live in me always So from the bottom of this “Puddm’s” heart, I love you. R I P Auflt Neb; So many changes have taken place in your life in the Last couple o f years, some good and some bad Although it may be hard, please don’t let all o f the bad overshadow the good You have two beautiful little guts to be strong for You have a family who would do absolutely anything for you And, you have a loving man who is watching o v a you everyday Please keep your head up, if not for yoursdC for Jazz and Steph I love you Jasmine: You have so much gomg for you at such a young age You are smart, funny, and beautiful Don’t ever let anyone tell you any different For someone your age, you are so full o f life and strength Please always be strong for your mom, your sister, and yoursdf I’m proud o f you, Jazzy I love you Rachel: You have been like the sister that I never had I must admit that rt was hard at first to get used to, but I have honestly enjoyed hearing you sing in front of my door at 8 00 on a Saturday morning, and I have even come to not mind you sitting naked and farting on my face to wake me up I won’t be in the house with you forever, so you better be good and watch out for everyone. I love you, Rach. Stephanie: You were the light after the storm They say that everything bad is followed by something great That great something is you You are loved so much by so many people Always remember that Michelle A Marqulta: It’s hard to believe that when we were younger, we weren't as close as we are now Michelle, you used to pick on me unti] I cried Marquita, we just could never find the time to really get to know eachother as friends instead o f cousins I’m glad that all three o f us have finally become as close as we always should have been 1love you both Don't do anything 1wouldn't do LaShara: I can remember exactly what I was thinking the first day you walked into Mrs Wright's fourth grade class “Wow, h a luur looks like mine!” Whether it was the strength o f the Wave Nouveau or the Leisure Curl, something similar between us brought and kept us together Not only have we made it through the dreaded "fifth grade fight” but we managed to stay friends o v a the last four years I must admit, I was really scared that we would lose contact but I am so glad that we haven't Thanks for always sticking by me You are and always have been a true friend Loveya Stephanie D: '“Oh, my gosh1 Oh, my gosh!” From the first day that we met in Arbor School I knew that we would be friends for a long time We have laughed together and even cned together over the dumbest things, and through it aft, we have remained great friends I don't have many people who I know that 1can turn to no matter what, but you are definitely what I would call a "best friend” Honestly, I can't remember the last time that we talked on the phone, and I lost track o f how man> messages we have left on eachother's answering machines, but when we get together, it’s as if nothing has changed You're a great friend. Love ya’ Linette: Girl you are too much for me! For so long, I never thought that we had anything in common. But, that all changed in aghth grade when I realized what we did have m common: Scott1 No, all joking aside, I really got to know you in aghth grade, and although we don't get to talk much now, you’ll always be my girl Good luck keeping all of those guys off o f you and please remember to keep your head on straight. You are capable of so much Eres una chica muy inteligente Nunca olvides esto! Candace: At times, we have been like water and oft, unable to agree on anything But, when it comes down to if I know that I can talk to you about anything and you’ll always give me your honest opinion Even if we don’t always agree, I appreciate that Thanks for always bang truthful. Stay real and don't ever change. Stephanie W.: I hope that one day, we'll truly be able to get past all that has happened fremavne: N eva before you have I wanted to say "those 3 words” And, not since 3-29-99, have I wanted to say them to anyone else. We have hit our bumps in the road, but through it aft, you have meant the world to me I love you now and whateva may come in the future, you better believe that I always will Smooches, doodoohead Education has been my main priority and learning would not have been possible without the following: Miss Battaglia, Dr. Rigney, SEEDS, JoAnn’s, Mr. Wittman, Miss Patti, Mrs. Dutta, Dr. Loy.

Julie Ann Miller Mom and Dad:thank you for always being there for me. You’ve helped me get through all o f those stormy days and nights; whether it was by sharing your own umbrella or by giving it to me to protect myself, you always walked with me, even if it meant that you would expose yourselves to the rain. No matter what people say, just knowing that you care that much about me and that your love is unconditional, has made me stronger. Thank you for always believing in me and for fighting on my side. I love you. Manu,Rob, and Farah: I can’t believe we don’t have any pictures yet! Thanks for being such great friends. I'm so glad that we all finally found each other. Thank you m ost of all for sticking by me, for putting up with my corny jokes, and for laughing with me (and at me). W e’ve had so much fun together! Remember: hair gel, disgusting pizza that looks like barf, wbl I-"why aren ’t medical students ever outside?”, pizza and cannolies, Khaki pants, trying to gross each other out at lunch time, laughing uncontrollably for no reason at all. Eye sight, the four m usketeers, Manu and a half, Dipsy, when Farrah tried to park, JAM, “rriiggghhhtt....”, when Farrah, Manu, and I make Rob think w e’re crazy, physics class/lab, when Farrah lost her priveleges (do you know why?lol), hanging out in the library, “can we please go to lunch now?!” , how much we always make fun o f each other, and all o f the other memories that are still to come. Thanks for everything! G od: thank you for walking with me and listening to me. Y ou've helped me get through some of the most tum ultuous times of my life. Just knowing that you are there, watching over me and carrying me when things get really tough, helps me know that everything will always be alright. I love you forever. Thank you for giving me so many special people in my life and for giving me the the chance to experience so many memories. To m y fam ily and m y friends: thank you for always supporting me in everything I do:, the plays: Annie, the Sound of Music, The Wizard of Oz, and The Battle of the Beds, every dance, voice and piano recital I've ever been in, every important and not so important event, and for always remembering me on special holidays and on special days. Thank you for always giving hugs, smiles, and com fort and for always making me laugh. You’re the best!

“When the pawn hits the conflicts he thinks like a king. W hat he knows throws the blows when he goes to fight, and he’ll win the whole thing before he enters the ring There’s nobody to batter when your mind is your might. So when you go solo, you hold your hand and remember the depth is the greatest of heights and if you know where you stand, then you know where to land, and if you fall it w o n ’t matter because you’ll know that you're right” (Fiona Apple)

Sophomores. In between the freshmen and the upper classmen, we are the m iddle class. Throughout history, the middle class has been vivacious, energetic and essential. This year's sophomore class is no exception. Sophomores can be found anywhere on campus, from sports fields to classrooms to club meetings. The sopho more lounge is always a bustling center of activity where our varied personalities can mix. The sopho mores promise to contribute greatly to the Prep com m u nity, both this year and in years to come.

"W hat is ahead? W hat will high school be like? Are the courses really as hard as everyone says they are?" With these questions an d m an y o th e rs ru n n in g through their minds, the fresh men made their appearance at the U pper School. After the first days, m arked by fun, confusion and trial and error, they became respected citizens of the Upper School C om m unity. Due to H urricaine Floyd the coveted camping trip was cancelled this year, leaving the freshmen class to pull up their bootstraps and bond with new and old friends in their own special way. The freshm en class has joined to gether and is ready to face our next years as a united front, full of talented individuals

When Prep students think of life in the lounges they think of relaxation from the hustle and bustle of the school day, comfy couches, and peer bonding. During morning meeting the entire school gathers in the lounges sur rounded by the warmth of Prep Pride to listen atten tively and respectfully as other members of the com munity make announce ments. The lounge is a place students can congre gate to chat with friends, cheer on a stirring chess match, or listen to others play flat melodic blues on the piano.

The locker areas are a place where students can gather and catch up with friends as they get their books from their lockers. The halls around the lockers resonate with commotion and activity as friendly words and greetings are exchanged before hurrying to class. For the freshmen the locker area holds spe cial significance; in many ways, it is their lounge.

Despite the abundance of extracurricular, athletic, and social opportunities, the primary focus of stu dent life is on academics. The wide array of classes offered at Prep, from art and ar chitecture to discrete math, makes it possible for almost all students to find at least one course that interests them. Classes are small so students have the opportu nity to interact with their classmates and teachers. The demanding academic environment illustrates the truth of the school motto "Severn res est verum gaudium." (Hard work is true joy.) 143

When Prep's students are not in the classroom, they can be found in many other places on campus. In nice weather, some may be spot ted at the pic nic tables be hind the field house, sitting under trees studying or talking to friends, in the gazebo gazing at the Raritan, or in the caf eteria. Others can be found playing games on the com puters, reading in the li brary, or playing catch out side in a field. The amphi theater is also a great place to simply sit and ponder. 145
Last fall, the Upper School went on a field trip to New York City for a full day. Although it rained the whole time, the students report that the day was not only educational but fun, as well. It was a great way to take learning out of the class room and into a large, cultural city. The fresh men went on a one-day ropes course in order to come to gether as a class, since the Freshman Camping Trip was canceled due to Hurricane Floyd, as was its counterpart, the Senior Retreat. The French classes went on a trip to New York to see the classic French play Antigone. The freshmen also went on an excur sion to the Museum of Natural History in New York. The fresh men and their peer leaders vol unteered many hours at the Franklin Food Bank to get a start on the required ten hours of community service. The help was much appreciated, by both the staff and the patrons. 147

A couple of years ago Babi Das ('99) and Club Advisor Mr. Wittman noticed that they each ate these specific mints throughout the day. Feeling free to ask each other at any time for one, they soon found other people with the same fondness for the strangely strong mint. THAT is the HISTORY OF HOW THE CLUB was founded. Today the club is more than just people who eat mints. Dues paying members get together, discuss issues about school life and purchase small gifts for the benefit of the school.

The main goal of the Argo this year was to make it more of a "People Paper" - a more personal newspaper in which more students could become more involved. To accomplish this goal, two new sections were added: "The People Pages" and "Off the Cuff". Both of these sections were open to ALL Prep students who w ished to write or to offer their opinion. "The People Pages" include such topics as summer experiences and after-school activities, w hile the "Off the Cuff" staff posed questions such as "How did Hurricane Floyd affect you and your family" or asked seniors to offer advice to freshmen on "How to survive your first year at RPS." __

Amnesty International is a worldwide non-profit organization that protests human-rights violations and increases awareness about important causes, both in the USA and abroad. The Rutgers Prep chapter was resurrected in the spring of 1999. In our meetings, we discuss human-rights issues and compose letters that encour age world leaders to correct their abuses. Every week, we receive "Urgent Appeals" from AI, which inform us of current situations that need our immediate attention and letter-writing abilities.

Community Service
To graduate each grade level at Prep, students must accumulate ten hours of community service. Making sure each student fulfills this obligation is the job of the Community Service Executive Board. The Board, which is comprised of students and faculty advisor Mr. Bartlett, finds community service opportunities, makes them known to the students through announcements and posters, and helps with the various paperwork required to a lot the earned hours. Popular past events have included Tour de Cure, Wheelchair Basketball, and the Disabled Children's Events.
Cum Laude
The Cum Laude Society is the secondary school equivalent of Phi Beta Kappa. Every year at Honors Convocation up to six juniors and up to six seniors are elected for their complete record at Prep. To be eligible, students must have an honors average at the time of selection. Once the members are inducted, they help the community by tutoring younger students who are struggling in a subject. The society therefore not only acknowledges the students for their achievements, but also provides them with a means of sharing their knowledge with others.

The Drama Club dicusses possible scripts for the annual fall and spring plays. They also give feedback and input on scripts given by Ms. Turlish. They decide wheteher they, as actors and actresses w ould like to produce and perform the plays, and if the audience w ould enjoy watching them. In addition, they put on the Coffeehouse Cabaret, (formally known as the Winter Show) which for the first time, occurs three times a year to give the student body more opportunities to perform a wide variety of drama. The Drama Club encourages people to use their cre ativity not only on but off the stage as well.

This year, Excelsior underwent a big change, with three editors-inchief for the 1999-2000 editions. They worked hard to make their three issues of the school's literary magazine a great success. The editors, Jessica Greenblatt, Sean Cannon, and Samantha Simon, connected many different types of art, including poetry, pictures, and prose stories, thematically and artistically, to make each page both aesthetically pleasing and full of creative talent. The many new underclassmen who joined Excelsior this year added enor mously to the talent pool, and gave the editors many tough choices about which works to publish.

The French Club continues to be an organization that offers its members not only the opportunity to understand and experience French language and culture, but also to form a group that values friendship. Through our many bake sales and our annual Mardi Gras Dance, this attitude was displayed as the members came together to share French culture with our peers. We hope to gather even more members next year, and continue to provide entertain ment, French style, to our friends and classmates.

Rutgers Prep's Math League, led by Mr. Cohen, is a club whose main focus is practicing and exploring challenging math problems. Math League meets about twice a month, once for a short in-house meet, and once for the away meet. The in-house meets are quick skills tests that students take during activity periods. The away meets are good opportunities, not only to sharpen math skills, but also to meet people with shared interests from many different schools in Central New Jersey -writing abilities.

The Maroon Exchange is a truly electrifying club. We learn how to play the stock market to w in the most possible money. After all, money is what it's all about, right? The club also causes bad blood between the participants w ho all, for some reason, feel the urge to get their name on the plaque. There are also many unconfirmed rumors circulating on w hy the SMG2000 web site never works correctly and w hy no one's password for their account ever seem to work. But the bottom line is that the club is the most electrifying club in RPS, if you sm ell what the Maroon Exchange is cooking.

The RPS Delegates to Model Congress spent the November 18-21 in our nation's capital devoting issues pertaining to their bills and generally having a lot of fun. Our fearless leader, Mr. Bartlett, courageously led 27 students, providing extra information and guid ance when it was necessary. With perseverance many of our del egates were able to pass their legislation, and engage in exciting discussions on current issues and foreign policy. Everyone enjoyed the free day in DC either experiencing life in Georgetown or admir ing one of the other many historical features of the city. Whether in committees involved in fierce debate or exploring the streets of D.C. this year's delegation conquered the congress.
The Multi Ethnic Cultural Association is dedicated to the promo tion of increased diversity in our school's curriculumand commu nity. The goal is to enrich our school through increased knowledge, awareness, and understanding of diverse cultures and perspectives within our culture by addressing such issues as racism, sexism, economical and social inequality and prejudice of all forms: violent and subtle. This year, MECA sponsored a dance and their annual sleepover at the school. They are also participating in the Everyone's America program, choosing a different culture to celebrate each year. This year, they have dedicated their time and energy to the Indian-American culture

Senior Prefects
Whether putting up the flag every morning, making sure the SID is up to date, or proctoring classes, the senior prefects are always lending the school a helping hand. Prefects are se lected by Mrs. Gooen through an application at the end of junior year, and from that moment they are called upon whenever help is needed. By offering their assistance these seniors do an honor to themselves and hope to give something back to the school that has gotten them to where they are now.

Tri-M (Modern Music Masters) is the international music honor society for secondary school students. Its chief aim is to foster greater interest in musical performance and expression. Students are selected based on skill in musical performance, outstanding contribution to school musical ensembles, scholarship in music theory, and personal and musical leadership in the community. Trips to NJPAC and community performances are just a sampling of the activities in which Tri-M participates
The 1999-2000 School Council contributed to the RPS commu nity in many different ways. In the wake of the tragic Hurri cane Floyd this fall, Council raised almost $1400 and collected cans and goods in a relief project for disaster victims. The Toy Drive helped bring joy to cancer-sticken children at holiday time, by collecting almost 400 toys for the cause. Council also organized entertaining events such as "Tape the Teacher," College Bowl and College Bowl Deux, and it has always brought the school community together via its seasonal Burger Blasts.

the Weight Lifting Club
The weight - lifting club is an organization that offers students the opportunity to utilize the weight room. Some students can't make it to the gym in the off - season and this club offers them the opportunity to get in shape for the sports they play later in the year. They also get a chance to rehabilitate injuries.
The "Ye Dial" is both the school yearbook and the organization that produces it. Club members perform various tasks including design ing page formats, taking pictures, writing texts, and puting it all together on the computer. Working on Yearbook requires a wide variety of talents and much dedication. Without this group, the book you are holding in your hands right now would not exist.

GIRLS SOCCER During the Season
W om en's sports, especially soccer, have attracted much attention this past year. After watching the US W omen's soccer team beat China in the world cup finals, Rutgers Prep soccer players eagerly anticipated the '99 season. For the first time in prep's history, with an enrollm ent of 28, there were enough girls interested in soccer to create two teams. Coached by Walt Nichols, A ndrew Morris and Kathy Hoffman and under the superb leadership of Vanna and Rachel, Varsity ended the season 8-8-2, and Rutgers p rep 's first ever JV team went undefeated. The team tied Saddle River this year in a game that ended in a yet unresolved conflict which will pow er prep to defeat Saddle River next year. Highlights of the season took place at W ardlaw -H artridge and Gill St. Bernards. During the tough state
quarter final game at W ardlaw,the players worked hard together to win a game, ending in an especially memorable goal by Megan Scully, which advanced them to Prep B Semifinals at Gill. The team also show ed Gill's #11 that RUTGERS PREP = AWESOME. At the end of the season 8 players even received state honors for their performance. First team all-state lonors w ent to Jessica Wilson and Megan Scully. Rachel Kendall, Lisa Dychus, Jill Preschel and Catherine Verri were nam ed to the second team. Honorable Mentions w ent to Vanessa Abreu and Sara Dougherty. Through teamwork and unw avering support of num erous doting parents, loyal fac ulty and students, and Brigid the statistician from heaven, they had a great season. Congratulation to 1999 and good luck to the team of 2000!

Rachel K end all
Girl's soccer had an amazing season. Especially during our semi-final game at Wardlaw: we knew they would be tough competition, but we got together, played with heart, and beat a rival we had lost to before. It was a great feeling. What we liked the most about soccer season was the motivation that everyone had. No one ever gave up, but we still had a lot of fun.
175
GIRLS TENNIS During the Season
The girls' tennis team's season spans from pre-season practice (before the opening of school), through the frantic weeks filled with many late matches, and culminates with the state tournament. Up until the very end of the season, we were undefeated, and we ended with a 10-2-1 record. The statistics speak for them selves, but what they don't tell is how close we came to winning conferences, and how we pulled together to accom plish a tied game with Stuart, one of our toughest opponents. Tire statistics also do not show the accomplishments of the team in the state tournaments. The excellent season put the Varsity team in a good position for states, and all three singles players (Megha Rao, Kristen Carlo, and Mallika Tarkas) and both doubles teams (Daniela Accurso and Surekha Maddula, and Hanny Studer and Susan Notch) ad vanced to the semi-finals. Unfortunately, Mallika, our third singles player, had to forfeit her states match due to a back
injury. Our first doubles team, however,advanced to the finals before being defeated by PDS. Along with the many freshmen who joined the team this year, there were also two more new additions: "the Gottman" and our scorecards. "The Gottman," our new ball machine, helped all the players sharpen their skills. Doubles players practiced moving in unison to cover all areas of the court, and singles players worked on their accuracy. During matches, the scorecards helped to pre vent disputes over set and game scores. The Girls' Varsity teams successes could not have been achieved without our coaches, Mr. Ackerman and Dr. Gottlieb. They helped us improve our game through drills and strategy tips, put up with us during crazy van rides, and were the inspiration for the ball machine's nickname. The return of six of the Varsity players next year makes for a promising 2000-2001 season.

CROSS COUNTRY During the Season
Cross country is a unique sport that challenges the participants' mentality and physical abilities more closely than one might think. The sport is an enigma to some first-time observers. Our perfor mances are judged individually, though we run as a team. All we seem to do is run; there isn't much variety to the sport. How do the teams score? These are valid statements for the first-time observer. For the most meets everyone runs as one team, from the inexperienced fresh man to veteran seniors. At the starting line we are all equal, we all have the opportunity to win the race. Cross coun try is not about winning however; cross country is about commitment, guts, and valor on the battlefield that is tne course. Our playing field is nature. During practices we grow in strength and endur ance as a unit, an entity that runs against another for dominance. Anyone in cross country can tell you that we do not just run. We must sense
the course, anticipate the enemy in front and behind us. The mind of a runner is just as active as his or her muscles. We learn what our bodies are capable of to determine when to sprint and when to fall back. In terms of scoring, probably more than half our team never knew how we scored- it wasn't the point. You knew if ou ran a good race or not. From those eginning freshman to the senior, we all felt the same anxiety before a race, and the same relief after. Cross country is a gallant sport. Al though both guys and girls' teams did not achieve the same tangible reward this ear as they have in the past, in our earts we know we did a good job. The experience gained from the cross country season traveled on with us to other sports seasons. More importantly, the seniors of 2000 gathered at States to give the competition one last run for their money.

BOYS BASKETBALL During the Season
Give a basketball team only ten play ers, a twenty-three-game schedule with six home games, without the previous year's captain and leading scorer, and one can only hope for the best. Given this predicament, the Rutgers Prep Boys' Basketball team fared extremely well, amassing many victories. The team achieved several notable victories this season, including winning the RPS Holiday Tournament and taking second place in the Plainfield High School Holiday Tournament. The Argo nauts also won games against public schools Dunellen High School, Somerset Vo-Tech, and 1999 state champions Wardlaw Hartridge on three occasions. Even in defeat, the Prep team showed pride and intensity. In the most exciting
game of the year, Prep lost by four points to a talented Timothy Christian team in front of a packed home crowd. Captains Sekou Davis and Anthony Suzara led a ten-man crew with key contributors Nathan Holt, Deep Singh, Jon Sierra, and Todd Gorham. Brent Carpentier, Justin Hollander, Casely Doryumu, and Steve Montanino rounded off a well-balanced Argonaut team, and added many quality minutes of playing to the season. Though the team will lose seniors Sekou, Anthony, Nathan, and Casely next year, the underclassmen have learned valuable skills that are sure to lead the team to success in the years ahead.

GIRLS BASKETBALL During the Season
The Rutgers Prep Girls' Basketball team continued their winning tradition once again this year. The season started off a little rocky, with a few close losses to the Hun School and PDS. Despite those first few games, the team managed to pull together midway through the season and accomplish an impressive 125 record. These wins included a 44-33 victory over Blair Academy, whose team was ranked among the top three in the Prep A Division. While some members of the team were plagued by injury or illness, the team was still able to pull through and emerge with a winning season. The Argonauts
were led by senior captain Emily Wilson, senior Resa Peterson, and junior Megha Rao. Underclassmen Jessica Wilson, Kristene Goetz, Lisa Dychus, Selma Studer, Mary Boehmer, and Megan Urban, also made major contributions to the team's wins. Prep is ranked third going into the State Tournament, and seventh in the county. Towards the end of the season, Prep will face its hardest opponents, but if they are willing to work hard and work as a group, good things will happen.

WRESTLING Durine the Season
Wrestling is often seen as two men rolling around on a mat. Far from that, wrestling is a battle. The amount of selfdetermination, sacrifice, sweat, pain, and work it takes to be a successful wrestler is incomparable to any other sport. Even after wrestling a completely inferior opponent, a wrestler will leave the mat physically and mentally drained. The Rutgers Prep wrestling team came into this year with a healthy mix of several returning veterans and a number of talented underclassmen. Despite the loss of senior Andrew Hobbs early in the season to a knee injury, and the mid season loss of Nick Venezia, who, as a freshman, had already had a successful
year, the season has been a great success for the team. Lead by returning co-MVPs and Captains Andrew Venezia and Adam Goetz, as well as Captain Fred Kim, the returning State and Conference champi ons have almost met their goals. In addition to winning the conference tournament by more than 70 points for the third year in a row, they took third overall in the Newark Academy tourna ment, beating out 17 other teams. Look ing forward to the end of February, it looks like they will reach their goals of winning the state championships for the second year in a row, and also winning 10 dual meets.

SWIMMING During the Season
The Rutgers Prep swim team changed dramatically this season, comparing to last year. Almost tripling in size, with approximately 35 students, we had to use a bus to get to and from practice each day, whereas last year we used one van with room for more people. Because of the increase in numbers, Mr Forney actually had a difficult time creating the meet sheets because he wanted to make sure everybody had a chance to swim. Returning members such as Gavin Riley, Kelly McWilliams, Ryan Patterson, Cristina Weingart, Emily Rabinowitz, and Steven Lapicki were always de
pended on to swim whatever Mr. Forney asked them to, with a steller effort. Also, new members like, Devin Scully, Mike Proske, Charlotte Perrottey, Ari Teger, Diana Sardelis, and Sasha Kanevsky were always there to get those few extra points we needed to narrow the score. Sadly, the Rutgers Prep swim team will be loosing 4 members from the team because they are graduating; Gavin Riley, Ari Harkov, Kelly McWilliams, and Dan Marcus. However, with incom ing new freshman and team we have now, they will only contiune to grow stronger and larger.

Kelly M cW illiams Even though we didn't do particularly well this season, everybody still tried their hardest to do the best they could. We had fun, and a lot of good things came out of this year; Ryan broke the school record, all the freshmen on the team get those few extra points, and people like Emily, Cristina and Mike were ready to swim whenever Mr. Forney asked them to.
Gavin Riley It was a season of dizzying hights and crushing lows. There is a lot of promise for the future of the team. We are still young, but in the coming years I am confident that Rutgers Prep swim ming will soon be back on top.
187
VOLLEYBALL During the Season
The girls' volleyball team saw both victory and defeat this season, but the most important part of the season was the foundation of a team. Two new coaches, Varsity Coach Kirkman and Junior Varsity Coach Hoffman, led the team, along with captains Rachel Kendall and Emily Scherb. Although the volleyball team got off to a somewhat disappointing and rocky start, they picked up the pace and proved themselves as the season went on. Through hard work and great leadership from both the captains and the coaches, the team pulled through with a
successful season. More importantly, the team began to see itself as a unit rather than a collection of individuals, and a team identity was formed. The team had lots of fun both on and off the court, cheering each other on during games and sharing jokes and embarrassing moments on the ride home. The girls learned that, no matter what happens on the court, the best pat of volleyball is the love of the game. Luck ily, this attitude also leads to the greatest successes.

Researchers announce in July the creation of a cancerous human cell by genetically altering a normal one. This significant breakthrough is an important step toward developing drugs that could potentially wipe out cancer. In December, IBM announces a $100 million research initiative to build a supercomputer 500 times more powerful than current models.
