Unity & Diversity

The Prep is a com m unity full o f diverse people with diverse interests. However, we are all unified in the ideal o f being Prep m en, for an d with others. In whatever we do th ro u g h o u t o u r lives, on the different roads that will lead us in many different directions, we will always be connected to Prep and the values taught here. We are a school full o f different cultures and people. T he varied personalities may m ake the Prep experience h ard at points however, as seen by thousands before, by the evening o f graduation the Prep experience is fully realized. Over the four years, boys are taught to enjoy one a n o th e r’s company, and see the good qualities th at everyone has. As we leave Prep we leave a piece o f o u r lives behind. These years provide us with a chance to m eet new people, even ones we norm ally w ould n o t m eet, we always have the com m on b o n d o f being at this place o f G rand and W arren.

St. P eter’s Prep is a place full of opportunities, advantages, and successes. These are all m ade possible by the diverse people who contribute to the com m unity o f Prep. This Unity and Diversity is the p ertin en t them e at St. P eter’s Prep.

P h rough the years there have been ^ m any lives affected by this faculty m em ber. H e has touched the fragile m inds of many, letting them grow into thriving, successful Prep students. As a graduate o f Prep, he b ro u g h t the fine-tuned Jesuit ideals to his classroom. His passion for Latin an d L iterature is exhibited in his teaching. H e makes the subject come alive for many, eith er through enjoyable games or translating one o f C aesar’s letters.

D uring his years at Prep he has exhibited great fervor for Prep sports an d activities. H e is a consistent presence at football, soccer, and baseball games. His service to the swim team has also been com m endable. H e regularly attends the meets, being one of the few from Prep to do so. His passion for it was even shown last year w hen he tried at his best efforts to start a rugby club.

H e served students in m any ways also. He runs the cam pus shop, providing valuable m erchandise, books, and supplies. H e is always there to support others.

H e has m ade an em otional im pact on so m any Prep students. For his dedication, passion, and service to the school, the 2000 yearbook staff is pleased to dedicate this book to Fr. Bob Cregan.

Fr. Cregan assists Fr. Keenan with a question about the Jesuit community. Fr. Cregan is a constant source of advice for both students and faculty alike.

Venit, Vedit, Vincit... He came, he saw, he conquered, the Latin students’ minds. Fr. Cregan has always been known as a highly effective Latin teacher.

Always willing to stop and listen to a student. Fr. Cregan gives us a smile. His abounding source of kind­ ness made him a popular faculty member among students.

Fr. Cregan mds in a Her of recomendation for college bound student, ilways the extra for his ts.

Fr. Cretan participates in the Holy Spirit Mass during the Liturgy of the Eucharist.

Father was always a visible presence at the liturgies.

W alking through the school at three o ’clock, one can get a realistic exam ple of P re p ’s value. O ne can usually see different teachers from all types of subjects working with students to assure their success. N ot only are the teachers a strong guiding light, b u t they are also great friends an d advisers. This is w here the unity and diversity is strongly shown. A Latin teacher and a Science teacher can b o th unite to help a

troubled student. A student can equally adm ire a religion and a m ath teacher. These relationships transcend the differences of subjects an d particular interests. At Prep, students and teachers can all relate and enjoy each o th ers’ presence.

To th at end, cocurriculars are an essential p a rt and play an im portant role in the Prep Community.

W hether studying, or hanging out, we have unity at Prep.

eaded by Ms. Patter Hellstrom, The Fine Arts D epartm ent has continued its com m itm ent to artistic excellence. With a variety of courses open to a all students, developing Prep artists and musicians have ample guidance in their separate fields.

Once again, In tro d u ctio n to A rt was a m andatory class for incoming Freshman. The material covered in the introductory course elaborated upon material taught in W orld C ivilizations. For the second year, Sophomores were given the opportunity to take part in the semester elective, T he A ge o f D iscovery. This class focused on the Italian Renaissance and the art produced during that time.

Juniors and Seniors who sought to pursue an artistic education were presented with a wider variety of options, including D raw ing C om position, D e sig n / C olor, Painting, P ortfolio P resentation and Sculpture taught by new teacher Ms. Murphy.

The Prep Music departm ent was off to a fresh start this year under new band director Mr. Steve Caslowitz. Freshman became aquatinted with Mr. Caslowitz through, In tro d u ctio n to M usic. Those wishing to expand their musical knowledge were given the opportunity to do so through B e g in n in g / A dvanced In stru m en ta l M usic.

The Fine Arts D epartm ent is an im portant part of the Prep curriculum. It gives students the opportunity to stretch their artistic muscles and create beautiful works while learning about the rich artistic heritage of the world.

hat could be better than an all-night writing spree or cramming seconds before a vocabulary quiz? These moments and more are part of an entire interaction between a Prep student and the written word throughout his four years.

This year, Freshmen and Sophomores encountered a vast num ber of American authors from Robert Frost to Stephen King. Freshmen left the innocent classrooms of elementary school for a world of daily quizzes and demanding teachers. The English II course revolved around American works.

Mr. John Irvine expanded the course from simply reading the texts to engaging his students in creative writing assignments.

One of the most hilarious days of the year was Mr. Irvine’s “Difference Day,” based upon the reading of a one-act play called “The Lottery.” On this day, students would act “different” by doing such crazy things as wearing their clothes backwards. Mr. Irvine commented that his goal for the year was, “ To teach the students to have a love for reading.” As Prep students enter their junior year, instead of daily five-point quizzes, the typical junior English class focuses on analytical essays on such works as B eow ulfand Geoffrey Chaucer’s The Canterbury Tales. Teachers paid important attention to grammar and structure o f the essay. Senior courses took the same approach. They could choose either AP English or two semester courses. All Prep students dove into a world of literature and gained a new perspective on the art of expressing oneself.

atin has been a true time honored tradition for St. Peter’s Prep. It is a puzzle, taught in hopes that it will train the mind to work things out in an orderly, step by step procedure. St. Peter’s believes that by teaching Latin and Roman history, students will get a better grasp of their own history and of the English language.

In Latin I, incoming freshmen will be introduced to Latin’s basic grammar. It also deals with the culture of the Roman people: their history and mythology.

Freshmen should get an introduction to derivatives, vocabulary, and pronunciations.

O Latin II goes into more difficult and sophisticated concepts than Latin I. “Throughout Latin,” Ms. Baber explains, “there is a consistent emphasis on reading as opposed to a modern language which emphasizes speech.” Ms. Baber is the head of the classics departm ent and has been teaching at Prep for 15 years. She is currently teaching Latin I, III, and IV. After students complete Latin I and II, there is also an optional III and IV which are meant for the students who are seeking to continue their learning of the Roman culture. “Latin III is where the fun begins,” Ms. Baber said. “Students read literature by Roman authors such as Caesar, Pliny, Livy, and others. They also discuss poetry and other interesting works of the time. Latin IV deals primarily with the “Aeneid” which is, in Ms. Baber’s opinion, “One of the best pieces of literature ever written in any language.”

Latin is an extremely interesting language with a lot of background to it. Mr. Doyle says, “Latin shows that it is possible to learn a demanding language while still enjoying yourself.”

Ms. Garcia teaches common phrases with cctenerâ&#x20AC;? and C < hacer.x Her enthusiasm for Spanish easily rubbed off on loer students.

While Mr. Greeley dictates Spanish words, the students willingly absorb the lesson. Mr. Greeley s Spanish credentials were evident from his experience in Peru, Bo­ livia, Spain, and Mexico.

he future looks bright for linguistics.

With the Internet bringing the world closer and closer, the need to communicate ideas and opinions is facilitated by a person’s ability to speak another language. Mrs. Costanzo, who teaches French and Spanish, emphasizes this point. She says, “ People must have the ability to comm unicate with people of all kinds of races and nationalities. By learning a foreign language, a student becomes in tune with the outside world.” Students have the opportunity to choose from four foreign languages including French, Spanish, Italian, and German. New additions to the departm ent this year were Mr. Mattherw Greeley ‘90 and Ms. Michele Guerra, Spanish teachers, and Ms. D aphne Xhemali-Torres, an Italian teacher.

The goal of the departm ent in the first two years of learning a foreign language is to teach basic grammar, basic speaking skills, and some culture.

Also, in order to make the learning process more interesting and unique; Spanish, Italian, and G erman have already established exchange programs, and French is anticipating its first this year. H onors and Advanced Placem ent courses focus on advanced grammar, oral skills, culture, and literature of the language. Prep’s foreign language departm ent admirably prepares students for lifelong journey into communication.

As the students eagerly listen, Mr. DeAngelo tenches a German lesson essential for a future quiz. For many years, Mr. DeAngelo has passionately taught the German language.

s the P rep’s Course of Studies states, “...Religious Education is central to the academic program at St. Peter’s.” The focus of the courses shifts from year to year; however a central them e is evident: an emphasis on Christian morality and Jesus’ teaching about G od’s love, and our response to it.

Freshmen examine their adolescent lives and look closely at issues which concern them. In addition to studying the Old Testament, they look at issues such as physical development, friendship, f r values, and sexuality as well as the greater question of God and His existence.

Sophomores explore the t life of Jesus, His teachings, death, and resurrection by reading and studying the Gospels and exam ining the times of Jesus’ life. Juniors engage in m ore in-depth discussion of Social Justice and The Church In The M odern World, and are also required to participate in a Christian Service project, reaching out to fill a need in the community and giving themselves a chance to put their Christian values into practice.

Religion in senior year teaches students to become the leaders of tomorrow. Courses such as Bioethics, Psychology, and Prayer and the Image of God compels students to reflect upon real-world issues and the seriousness of their decisions. The common characteristic of the four years of religious studies is very evident in the young m en at Prep.

istoryisn tjust a course of study; it is the life that we make. The study of history is like an immersion trip: students accom pany teachers to a place and time where people make events that give us m eaning and hope. History is made of the stuff that moves and shakes us.

D e p a rtm e n t c h a ir Ms. Marie Curry reports that her h isto ry te a c h e rs , Ms. Keiserman, Mr. Guzik, Mr. De Lorenzo, Mr. Lillis, and Mr. Me Cabe, developed and pu t into action curriculum guides for W orld CivilizaO tions, and US History I and II. New developm ents en­ hanced students’ study skills, sharpened their historical awareness, and made use of technological advances like P ow erpoint, w hich m ade learning history m ore exciting.

Freshm en traveled the historical ranks of World Civilizations, surveying especially the developm ent of different cultures of the world, while the sophomores, juniors and seniors took US History I followed by US History II, spanning the time period when the Europe­ ans first encountered the peoples of N orth America until the Regan Era. AP US History I and II prepared students for the AP US History exam by reading sec­ ondary sources and the introduction to the skill of writing an historical essay. Seniors also had the oppor­ tunity to take electives in the specialized areas of study like M odern European History, US Governm ent and Sociology.

Ms. Curry observed with confidence that our history program prepares students to be citizens who may have “a public im pact on the issues surrounding them .”

Mr. De Lorenzo explains the importance of US involvment in World War I to his US History I I class.

Mr. De Lorenzo’s class was always a favorite among students.

hether a student needs help on a college application or just wants to chat, he can find - T O it all in P rep’s Guidance Departm ent. It provides a constant source of depend­ able advice. The purpose of the departm ent is two­ fold: one part of the cur­ riculum deals with aca­ demic and social issues and life at Prep, while the other aids juniors and seniors in the college application process.

Freshm en and juniors m eet with their counselors once per cycle for a 40m inute period. Group Guidance in freshm an year helps students adjust to - o high school, keep up on their studies, and review the student handbook. All of the guidance counselors stress the fact that they get to know all of their students on a highly individual­ ized level, especially during freshm en year. Juniors receive inform ation about college applications, acceptance, and planning. The college placem ent office coordinates all the senior applications. Thanks to the dedication of Mrs. Janice M artineau, all the applications are handed in on time.

Students can visit their guidance counselor at any time. Mr. D ondero, director of college place­ ment, summed up the ideals of the Guidance depart­ m ent perfectly: “I ju st want students to know that we’re readily available at any time. Just contact us.”

The goals of this year’s Math D epartm ent were to emphasize the trem endous significance of m ath and how this subject pertains to many everyday life experi­ ences.

Freshm en started their mathematical journey with either A lgebra I ox A lgebra I H onors. Both courses gave the freshman the necessary skills needed to encounter m ore ad­ vanced mathematics.

Sophmores continued their study of mathmatics with G eom etry' and G eom etry H onors. Students’ analyti­ cal skills were greatly im­ proved as a result of the curriculum presented in the courses. Juniors contin­ ued with A lgebra II/T rig o n o m etry, A lgebra I I / T rigonom etry H onors. This course took an in depth look at trigonom etry and introduced the basics of calculus. As seniors, students were given the option of taking either A P Calculus, Precalculus o r F inite M ath. If a senior chose to take A P Calculus, he would be prepared for the AP Examination. Mr. Dadas com m ented, “We are encouraging more students to take the BC Exam, and they are accept­ ing the challenge.” With attitudes like this, students are ensured a fortified mathem atical background which will prove to be useful in their years to come.

Now, they can read the actual weather from atop the Prep roof in the daily an­ nouncements. Built through a grant by NBC a few years ago, the Prep Weather Station was used on a day-today basis for the first full year. Although Prep began its radical technological revolution last year, this year marked the completion of last year’s technical plans.

The old chemistry laboratory computers were replaced with a new com puter net­ work, and the A.P. lab, with new computers as well, was used this year for the first time.

This year also brought a few new faces into the Prep science community. Students and faculty wel­ comed Ms. Jennifer Marti, who teaches Biology and Advanced Placement Biology, and Mr. Rick Silva, who teaches chemistry to many sophomores.

The curriculum for the sciences remained essentially unchanged. Freshmen explored the basics of life sciences both in Biology class and lab. Students in Chemistry discovered the basic construction and prop­ erties of matter. Juniors and seniors had the option of choosing more in depth courses like Physics, Geo­ science, AP Biology, or AP Chemistry. Mr. Reidy added, “In the future our challenge will be to integrate the new technologies with the present curriculum. We have to make certain that computers and technology aid students’ learning, not hinder it.”

arking the eighth an niversary of the Ger­ man Exchange, sixteen Prep students expanded their ho­ rizons beyond G rand & War­ ren by immersing themselves in the German culture. They ^vere able to learn m uch about the language from the German students when they pame in March. W hen they Visited Germany in the sum­ mer they were able to apply this new found knowledge to everyday life.

Led by Mr. Jim DeAngelo, the Prep students welcomed the German students with a reception in the library in March of ’99. The German students, who attend ClaraFey Gymnasium of Schleiden [n a region of Germany called Die Eifel, stayed in the homes Dfthe Prep students. Besides :heir experiences in their Ex;hange hom e and in Prep :lasses, the Germans m ade lum erous trips to New York ity, the epitom e of Ameri­

M

can culture. The Exchange group also made a sojourn to W ashington D.C. for the Germans to witness the his­ torical and political nature of the natio n ’s capital.

Ultimately, the Exchange came to an end and the Prep parking lot was filled with flowing tears as the Germans began their return back to Germany. T he school year dragged on, but July finally arrived and the Prep boys boarded the plane to begin the experience of a lifetime.

U nder the leadership of Mr. Jam es DeAngelo and Ms. Marie Curry, the students arrived in Berlin, the capital of Germany, and began an extensive tour of the city, in­ c lu d in g a trip to th e Reichstag, the hom e of the G erm an parliam ent. The Prep students were also able to flex th e ir “la n g u a g e muscles” by speaking Ger­ m an to Berliners around the city. Once their stay in Berlin

was over, they boarded a train to Die Eifel, where their Ex­ change students welcomed them to begin two weeks of living in a German home.

Besides ex p erien cin g the daily lives of their Exhange stu d e n ts, th e A m ericans made various trips to nearby German cities, such as a bike tour in Bonn and an over­ night stay in Hamburg. In Die Eifel, the Exchange group spent time with their German families and studied the daily culture of com mon people.

Like all w onderous jo u rn ies, the G erm an Ex­ change trip ended in an at­ m osphere of friendship and rem em brance. After a won­ derful party in Schleiden with their German families, the Prep students began their trip back to Grand & W arren and their prior lives. The ephem ­ eral cheer may have ended, b u t the memory of the Ex­ change will always rem ain in the hearts of the students.

xceed Expectations.

That was the slogan of the 1999 Varsity Soccer Team, and boy did they ever.

This year’s squad was the most successful soccer team in P rep’s history. The team finished 7th in the state, with a record of 17-2-5. On top of all this, Prep was Co-county Champs and lost a heartbreaker to Bergen Catholic in the Parochial A N orth Fi­ nals.

Prep seemed to be des­ tined for success this year.

The team, led by Co-Captains Dan Muzzillo and Matt Foster-Moore, had a core of players that had played with each other for as longOas four years and re tu rn e d eight starters from lastyear’s group.

“The team had a great camp and was really looking for­ ward to finally playing. Once we got out on the field, every­ thing we had worked so hard for paid off.”

The soccer team started the season off with a few wins and a huge draw against de­ fe n d in g state cham pions Christian Brothers Academy.

This m erited a ranking in the Star L ed g er’s Top 20.

Prep had the distinction of keeping their ranking every week of the season, and fin­ ished the year as HCIAA regular season conference champs. Things were look­ ing good as Prep won the first playoff game 2-1 over rival H udson Catholic. In the next round, the team won an overtime thriller 2-1 ver­

sus N orth Bergen. In tl countyfinals, the team playt a hard fought 2-2 draw wi Emerson.

aint Peter’s Ju n io r Var sity soccer had an amazne: 1999 fall season. T he Maauders were led by sophonore captains Nick Hamilton ind David Scudder. The roung players began to be:ome friendly, working hard ogether in pre-season durng August and Septem ber .

The M arau d ers b e g a n heir season with three losses o teams outside o f the :ounty. T heir first county rame p lay ed a g a in s t ioboken was the turning joint of their season. There hey scored their first goal ind captured their first win vith a strong effort in a 2-1 'ictory in the late m inutes of he game. For the next six ;ames, JV won five and bejan to gel as a team. After

S

the final game of the season Prep finished with a respect­ ful overall record of 9-6-1 and a dom inating county record of 8-2-1. The Prep was invited to a post season county tour­ nam ent, which would crown a H udson County cham pion.

In the first game Prep de­ feated U nion Hill to advance to th e sem i-finals. T hey played M emorial in an early game and advanced to the finals to play th e ir rivals H udson Catholic. The tired M arauders forced the game into double overtime, finally resulting in a shootout.Prep won the shootout and be­ came county champions.

So many players contrib­ uted to the success of this great team. Freshm an Drew Buzzio led the team in goal

scoring with an impressive th ir te e n goals. M arco Ambrosio and David Scudder played fantastic midfield all season long. Possibly the strongest part of this team, the defense, was led by the exceptional playing of Nick Ham ilton and Sean LaFond.

Goalkeeping, which was the best in the county was led by B re tt P rim e a n d Tom Schmitt. This great season could not have happened without the great coaching of Brian McCabe and Luke Piede. Brian McCabe showed these young men everything they needed to know about soccer and about life. This year will be rem em bered as one of the greatyears in Prep Junior Varsity Soccer.

eturning from a sea son in which seniors dom inated the roster, there was not much predicted in terms of accomplishment for the 1999 Cross Country team.

Four of the top five runners graduated last June, leaving what seemed like little hope for St. Peter’s Prep and its Quad-County title. However, early on the team rose to the occasion. Spending dme in Belmar in late August, the team began a quest for suc­ cess against weak expecta­ tions. Averaging 20 miles a day over the 5 day week and close to 10 miles a day when they returned to home course Bayonne, the team ’s chances looked brighter.

Prep finished the season with a 14-2 record. They also finished third out of fifty-one teams in a New Jersey State Tournam ent.

In the state, the bowling team was ranked tenth, a well-deserved accomplish­ ment.

h e ’99-’00 J.V. hockey season was a season to rem em ber. It was the first year that St. Peter’s J.V. hockey team had a winning record.

Captains, Robert Bedford and Anthony (Sciarra) led the way with a strong de­ fense which played an im­ portant role in the win­ ning season. The fresh­ m en players contributed greatly both on defense and offense. The coach set a goal for this year. It was to reach the .500 mark.

fter losing very few p lay ers fro m last gear’s team, the 1999-2000 varsity hockey team entered the season with an experi­ enced roster. Going into each game with high expec­ tations, Prep proved to be a formidable threat to all op­ ponents, as the team posted a respectable record while facing tough com petition.

A m ong the strong and evenly m atched teams of the National C Conference, St. Peter’s finished in the top half of the league. The team posted a tie against the first p lace P aram us C atholic, earn ed several convincing victories, and posted two ties against perennial rival Toms River East. Prep played up to its highest potential against

A

its toughest opponents, in­ cluding several state ranked teams. U nder the guidance of head coach Jim Brennan, Prep proved to be a capable rival in each game.

After a disappointing pre­ vious season, in which St. Peter ’s was outscored almost two to one by opponents, this year’s offense was m uch m ore potent. Peter Visone led the team ’s attack, post­ ing an impressive point tally.

Junior Kevin McGrath and freshm an standout Patrick Murphy were also reliable scoring sources, while Joe G io rd a n o and T om McQuillan rounded out the top forward lines with their tough, aggressive, and relent­ less style of play. T he offense was backed by a very experi­

i m im tf- J t I I p i i t

enced defense, entirely com­ posed of seniors. The first defensive pair of Ed Pickett andJasonAguiarworkedwell to g e th e r a n d c o n ta in e d many of the top players in the division. Matt Fitzpatrick and Ryan Boyle were also a strong unit, a constant road block to opposing offenses.

Mike Manzo, the final wall in the defense, was very reliable and came through with clutch saves in several close games.

Although the season was plagued by a pattern of in­ consistency, St. Peter’s was determ ined to be a strong force in the playoffs. Carried by a large and determ ined group of seniors, Prep hoped to prove its talent and set the tone for future seasons.

he 1999-2000 varsity basketball team gen­ erated great enthusiasm this year. Off to their best start in many years, Prep was the team to b e at in H ud so n County.The M arauders were able to defeat strong local teams, including Dickinson.

This decisive victory p ro ­ pelled the team into TheStarL edger’s Top Twenty.

With only two seniors re­ turning to the squad, Coach [oseph Macchi had been re­ lying heavily on his talented group of juniors to assume key roles. T heir youth and inexperience prom pted a lot of hype in local papers, but his policy o f n o t discussing any newspaper articles with them had helped the boys put their success into per­

T

spective. Brian Robinson, the subject of m uch atten­ tion in the press, rem arked, “Games are won on the bas­ ketball court, not in the news­ papers.” O ne key to the M arauders’ success was bal­ anced scoring. “We have two or three guys getting double fig u res every n ig h t,” re ­ m arked Macchi. Jarett Love led the way, along with Brian Robinson andjim m y Supple.

The sole senior in the start­ ing line-up was Ryan Carroll, whose tenacity and aggres­ sive play shook up the oppo­ sition. Ju n io rJo h n Cossolini com pleted the starting five, and was known for his clutch shooting .

With senior Kellen Will­ iams and juniors Dan Healy and Em m anuel Thom pson

coming off the bench in com­ bination with juniors Fran Rotella, Scott C unningham and Jam es Della Vecchia, Coach Macchi had the luxury of knowing that there was always someone ready to step up when needed. With all but one of the starters re­ turning next year and a tal­ ented group of young play­ ers in the ju n io r varsity and freshm en ranks, it would seem that future success is g u a ra n te e d . B ut C oach Macchi is no t one to take winning for granted. “On any given night in H udson County,” he says, “any team can beat any o th er,” True enough, bu t it seems likely that St. P eter’s Prep will con­ tinue to be the team to beat.

By the end of February the team stood at a respectable 14-6 record, despite losing a tri­ m eet to Livingston and Pope Jo h n without seniors Matt Foster-Moore and Allen Sista in the lineup.

Sista, and Tom Burns, all wrestled very well. Monaco was 23-3, Jo h n Caprio was also 23-3, Sista was 20-2, and heavyweight Brian Grzelka was 20-4. The light weights were comprised of mainly un­ der classmen. Their inexpe­ rience proved to be a prob­ lem early in the season, but as the wrestlers saw more time on the mat they contin­ ued to improve. The leader­ ship of the upperclassmen greatly helped the younger wrestlers, and the improve­ ments were easily recogniz­ able as each match passed.

his year, St. P e te r’s swimming team was nee again well represented, he team did not lose any ;niors from the ‘98-’99 Bea­ rn and began the year stroner than the last. The team xceeded all expectations ver the course of the season 1 their individual times and ttitudes.

During the season, Prep ad a dual m eet record of 6. The team came into the ;ar with a goal to win counes. T heir standards were iised even higher after vicpries ag ain st successful ►ams such as Delbarton and t. Benedict’s. Coach Luke iiede said that he expected a lore successful year. “Last par, most swimmers hadjust egun to swim competitively.

T

This year, our team started the season with experience and a thirst to become their best.

C a p ta in s Edm und Caulfield, GregCouillou, and Chris Cullen were great lead­ ers of the team. This was u n ­ fortunately the last year of the team ’s head captain and ace, E d m u n d C au lfield .

Coach Piede com m ented on Caulfield’s final year: “He led the team by his extraordi­ nary example and the whole team will miss him .”

Caulfield had comments concerning his d ep artu re also: “Over the years, the team has developed a close­ ness. I am grateful for the opportunities I had to swim with them. I will miss them all.”

Prep is anticipating a very powerful team for the next year. Prep will only lose two seniors for the ‘00-’01 season.

Coach Piede said he is confi­ d en t in the teams ability.

“Sophomores andjuniors will need to step up next year.

With new additions Mike Couillou and Sean Cullen, and some freshm en, we are looking to compete with state ranked teams in the near future.”

T hro u g h hard work all throughout the season, the team worked to their full po­ tential in bringing about an­ other dom inating year for Prep. This work led to the recapturing of the County title, which is a good sign for the future.

Begin­ ning work early in the year, Co-Production Managers Se­ nior Adam Samarat and Se­ nior Tim Knapp often m et with Director “Sir” Campion to discuss the design of the set.

The actual construction proved to be a m uch m ore a rd u o u s task. Som e new pieces needed to be con­ structed, which were made reversible and set on wheels to make scene changes much smoother.A new backdrop was created under the super­ vision o f Art Manager, Junior Chris Cullen. Stage Crew m em bers sacrificed their winter break to complete the massive set. M oderators Mr. David Soscia and Mr. Sean McElhinney could often be seen working am ong stu­ dents. Senior Mark Goldsack and the rest of the crew chiefs helped keep the crew together as they entered the final stretch- the infamous “Hell Week.” D uring the play, the crew was given a m ere twenty-one seconds for even the most difficult of scene changes. Tim Knapp, also acting as Lighting Manager, and his assistant, Ju n io r Michael Nazarko, added to the atm osphere of the play by employing special lighting techniques, while Sound M anager Senior Vincent M astromonaco made sure all of the actors’ dialogue could be heard. With few miscues and great success, all of stage crew’s hard work paid off in the end.

n O ctober 8,1999, P re p s tu d e n ts gathered in the courtyard for the annual Walkathon.

T h e W a lk a th o n ra n from St. Peter’s Prep to Liberty State Park. At Lib­ erty State Park, students gathered to have hot dogs, potato chips and iced tea.

After enjoying such a meal with friends, the students participated in many ac­ tivities, including a game of “two-hand touch ” foot­ ball, ultim ate Frisbee or a simple game of catch.

Mr. Mike Gomez coor­ d in ated assemblies and delivered inspiring speeches to each class. “This year’s

O

W alkathon was a trem en­ dous success. We no t only raised $2,000 more than last year’s total (a new reco rd ), but also strengthened our own Prep spirit and pride. I firmly believe that these ideas are not simple cliches, butaway of life,” Mr. Mike Gomez proudly stated.

T h e p riz e s o f th e walkathon varied widely, ranging from t-shirts to a raffle for a tuition reimbursem ent. T he am ount collected from students reached a new record of $47,000, exhibiting the spirit and pride that every Prep student has.

Mr. Caslowitz conducts the band during its daily practice session.

Early morning practices greatly contributed to the success of the band.

The band effgs on the team amidst the scorching heat.

Under Mr. Caslowitz, the band performed very well during game appearances.

ach m orning as stu­ dents arrive at Prep and make their way to the locker rooms, the sound of music greets them. Nearly seventy d e d ic a te d b a n d m em bers along with Mr. Caslowitz arrive at school by 7:45 every m orning in order to fine tune their talents and use that m orning time to re­ hearse for their various con­ certs and trip. The band was one of the most involved ac­ tivities in the school. The m em bers sacrificed m uch time to assure their success in all perform ances. The countless hours of practice were evident in their first major perform ance of the year, the Christmas Concert.

This year showcased a de­ lightful Christmas Concert on D ecem ber 12lh This was the first concert u n d er the new leadership of Mr. Caslowitz, who was able to encourage the band students to consis­ tently work in order to be successful. The students were able to adjust to Mr. Caslowitz’s teaching style very quickly. His personable nature and passion for music m ade it easier for the band m em bers to continue their tradition o f wonderful music. During this concert the bands repertoire included “Trium phant Fanfare,” “Holi­ day Cheers,” and “Christmas Collage,” to name a few.

The jazz band and the guitar ensemble also played during the Christmas concert. T hroughout the year, the b a n d ’s was a wonderful presence at the home football games where their celebratory tunes helped rally the enthusiastic support of the Prep fans. The band has been successful throughout the years due to its strong sense of Prep pride.

Mr. Caslowitz thinks the band isgood enough to take the show on the road. Next stop: Madison Square Garden.

fter a rebuildingo season last year, the Prep Forensics team was able to swing back into its winning legacy from the be­ ginning of this year. Guided by m oderators Fr. O ’Brien S.J., M r. Dwyer, Mrs. Keiserman, and Ms. Marti, this year’s team was the larg­ est and one of the most for­ midable in P rep’s history.

The long lasting success of the team has been achieved because of its immense dili­ gence and tenacity.

At the first tournam ent of the Newark Catholic Foren­ sics League this year, which was held at Seton Hall Prep, eight Prep com petitors won trophies in their respective categories including two first places by Juniors A ntonio Perez and Pat Brown. Jo h n Facchini, Chaz Maffey Jaso n P um arada, Sanoop Luke, Gerard Alolod, and Farhan Malik also placed in their respective categories. Overall, the team came in sec­ ond place.

Composed of many new members, the Forensics team this year was fortunate enough to be able to train new competitors and win team trophies through the points gained by the more experienced students. How­ ever, by the middle of the season, both new and returning members were winning points. Every mem­ ber of the team was an integral player in its success. The St. Peter’s Prep Forensics team came back this year winning trophies right from their first tournam ent and continued the long established legacy of successful competitive students.

h e Petroc took the term “student newspa­ p e r” to a whole new level this school year. As the academic term began, ThePetroesX&ii decided on making innova­ tive changes to the tradi­ tional Petroc. It released m ore comprehensive 8-page issues with expanded sports, student profiles, and teen­ age problems, rather than the norm al 4 pages. Despite increasing the overall size, the staff still released 6 issues this year. They presented the paper in a professional m an­ ner by dividing the newspa­ per into four interest-oriented sections: Features, Editori­

T

als/Letters, Entertainm ent, and Sports.

Although the num ber of quality articles still grew, this y e ar’s p ap er also ex p eri­ m ented with more graphs and picture boxes. These polls and fact boxes served as excellent modes to illustrate the full story, but in a suc­ cinct fashion.

The /^Crocmoderator, Ms. Marie Curry, increased the num ber of writers, photog­ raphers, and layout assis­ ta n ts. As th e assistan ts worked on thelayoutforone issue, the writers and pho­ tographers were completing th eir assignm ents for the

next. A nother key to produJJ tivity was a smaller editorial board. Co-Editors-in-Chiey Sanoop Luke and Allen Sistal led the paper in all aspects cH planning, copy editing, anil photography.

Besides increasing infoim m a tio n , th e new spapefl served as a forum for th y students.

t Prep we were able to recognize our diversity in our school everyday by sim­ ply looking at the many faces around us. The Multi-Cul­ tural Club provided an op­ portunity to appreciate and learn about the many cul­ tures that came together at Prep. The club consisted of approximately 50 members with Ms. Marti as the m od­ erator. The club had a goal to share m ore of its ideas and inform ation with the whole school. This year the MCC released their annual news­ letter, E Pluribus U num , which included articles on

race relations. At Christmas they had a party for the stu­ dents at St. Ignatius Acad­ emy in the Bronx.

The individual cultural clubs also rem ained active throughout the year. The French Club held a Thanks­ giving Brunch.

T he A rt Club made use of nearby New York City by visiting muse­ ums such as the Whitney, the Brooklyn Museum of Art, and the Guggenheim as well as other art events including theater. These trips were open to students from outside of the Art Club and were heavily at­ tended. President Steve W illiam s c o m m e n te d ,

“The trips are vital to the Art Club; they are such learning experiences. We try to go places that will really make us think and s tre tc h o u r m in d s .”

A round the school m em­ bers of the Art Club could be found installing new art­ work, making crosses for the El Salvador martyrs’ mass, and designing art for special projects. Many stu­ dents also spent time out­ side of Prep, volunteering to work in the Jersey City area at exhibitions and shows. This year the Prep was a m ore artistic place thanks in part to the Art Club.

At [e inaugural meeting, each

interested student had to pick one stock that he felt would rise significantly over the next few m onths. These students broke up into groups of three to five an d reg istered at h ttp ://www.smgww.org.

Over the ten-week com pe­ tition, students bought and sold shares in blocks of one h u n d re d shares, and they com peted against each other as well as the rest of the coun­ try. At the end of the first couple of weeks, students had to diversify their portfolios, and as per com petition rules.

Each group had to own at least five different stocks.

Each team started out with

$100,000, accruing interestat 5%. Students were also al­ lowed to buy on margin, with an interest rate of 7%. Par­ ticipating Senior Joe Nolan commented, “I think it’s such a great idea that the school is once again into this. I re­ m e m b e r th a t th e re was som ething like this a few years ago, b u t it sort of seemed to fade away.” Matt Denes ‘01 added, “The stock m arket is going to be so im­ portant to the economy, both national and global, and I think that it is markedly im­ portant that Prep has some­ thing to teach its students about this virtual gold mine. ”

Mr. McDermott offers junior Mike Furmarriak a bit of advice on how to access an online account. The internet proved to be a vital source of information to the partici­ pants.

As if that were no t enough, Mr. Reidy was the chairm an of the Science D e p a rtm e n t, w orking in close proximity with the sci­ ence faculty members.

Be­ fore this year began, some of P rep’s work-study students were working hard to rebuild the Campus Shop for the new year. Once again, Ms. Susan Baber was an im portant as­ set to the Campus Shop. She ordered books, stocked the shelves, and ordered new clothes, all so that we could have the best materials in o u r educational enviro n ­ ment.

Campus Shop a convenient resource for the students. It was th e v o lu n te e rs who worked in the shop, along with Ms. Baber and Fr. Rob­ ert Cregan S.J., at parents’ events, at weekend events, and at reunions. It was they who made the Campus Shop a wonderful place to shop.

Ms. Baber com m ented, “Par­ ents have told me how ter­ rific the volunteers are...

They give up a significant am ount of time and get noth­ ing for it except my thanks.”

T he Cam pus Shop was w h ere all P rep stu d en ts bought books, covers, writ­ ing utensils, gym uniforms, and oth er Prep materials.

Among the m ost populal items were the embroiderei I sw eatshirts, official Pre I turtlenecks, and the newl I improved Prep polo shirt.

Even though food las no t served after Period |B, their day finally ended at 1:00 when everything was re­

corded, counted, and pu t away.

The m enu consisted of two main meals a day. At break­ fast, the ladies served bagels, sandw iches, m uffins, and other m orning treats. Re­ cess consisted of pizza, cook­ ies, h o t apple pie, andjam aican patties. Lunch was the major meal of the day. The cafe staff had to prepare a large variety of sandwiches, in c lu d in g ch eese steaks, cheese burgers, barbecued rib s, c h ic k e n p a rm e sa n , grilled cheese, chicken and cheese, and many other deli­ cious meals. O ther snacks were mozzarella sticks, occa­ sio n al c h u rro s , a n d th e “world fam ous” Prep French fries. “We start fresh every m o r n in g ,” said Lucy Palm iero, “an d we never

really have that m uch left over.” The staff also pre­ pared lunch for the faculty, which was served in the Je­ suit refecto ry lo cated in Shalloe Hall. Lucy said, “I usually put in a new order for food every other day or so.

Things really go fast. The cheese steaks, m ozzarella sticks, and cheese burgers go especially fast. ” The cafeteria ladies were a big part in getting through a norm al day. It was no t al­ ways easy taking orders from a huge crowd of kids at lunch or preparing food in time.

The cafeteria staff was always on time and ready for a h u n ­ gry student. They did their jobs quietly and although sometimes overlooked, their work was done well and their presence was always appreci­ ated.

Sophomores and juniors illumi­ nate the Prep cafeteria during lunch period 5B. It was not only a time to eat, but a perfect opportunity for students to finish the previous night’s homework.

A Prep student comments to the cafeteria staff how much he likes “Seasoned Cheesy Fries.” Lunch was an essential part of the Prep workday.

New computers and the introduction of the Internet have launched Prep headfirst into the new millennium. Over the summer, librarian Mr. Brian Dubrule helped institute the new technology in the library, computer room, and science labs. These tools allow students to easily access research materials and useful information over the World Wide Web. The new computers in the Chemistry, Physics, and AP tabs also assisted students by allowing them to test models p f experiments to verify their results. The new computers fere built from the latest components, including high-speed processors and spacious hard-disks. Prep offers students access to the Internet via the T1 lines now available in Jersey City. T1 is a cutting edge, revolutionary Internet technology that allows users to send and receive informa足 tion at high speeds.
