ERGINGl"Thus they even carried the sick out into the streets and laid them on cots and mats so that when Peter came by, at least his shadow might fall on one or another of them." Acts 5:15

"Sub Umbra Petri" translates to "Un­der the shadow of Peter." Prep men have been living and learning under this same shadow for over 130 years. St. Peter's pro­tective and guiding shield may seem over­whelming to freshmen; they have all felt lost in Prep's halls at one time or another. Without a real sense of purpose, they can relate to a shadow that lacks a definitive identity. How­ever, as high school progresses they begin to form their own "shadow" by increased in­volvement in Prep. During sophomore and ij junior years the shadows of their class grow I closer with each day spent together at Prep After three years filled with flashes of bril liance and struggles in "darkness" they finally become seniors who fully emerge from the shade of St. Peter. This coming of age extends its reaches far beyond that of Grand & W ar­ren. Spanning the globe, Peter's shadow has been increasing its magnitude via Prep men since 1872.

J L . rom Freshman Olympics to Father Azzarto's religion class to the "time-honored" tradition of Prep Day, freshmen immediately delve into the communal aspects of St. Peter's umbrage. Writing mission statements on the Sophomore Day of Retreat, fulfilling Chris­tian service, and playing basketball during Sophomore Night provide opportunities for personal and social maturation. Emmaus unifies the spirits of juniors and reinforces the bonds of community. Celebrating the tran­sition from junior to senior year, The Ring Mass and Junior Prom foreshadow a year of increased responsibilities. In senior year leadership roles both inside and outside the classroom catalyze the emergence of indi­vidual penumbras from Prep. Senior Prom, Baccalaureate Mass, and Graduation pre­pare the class to share the "unforgettable gifts" Prep has given.

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

A shadow cannot exist w ithout a source of light. Symbolically, this light can rep­resent God, the source of all light, truth and beauty, and it manifests itself through various mediums; such vehicles of illumination rein­force the Jesuit tradition of "seeing God in all things." The world has been experiencing this presence in Jesus, in the Holy Spirit, in saints, in family, and in friends. However, this lumi­nance has been shining upon students through teachers, faculty, and brothers of the past, present, and future. To many, Prep has been the ultimate source of God's light; in turn, this light casts the shadow of St. Peter upon all who allow themselves to experience it. This yearbook has "emerging from the shadow" as its theme; however, one cannot emerge and cast his own shadow without taking a piece of St. Peter's with him.

ORLD SINCE ‘81When the class of 2004 entered the shadow of St. Peter,

it knew what to do and where to go because of his voice. Because he spoke first, many freshmen presumed his impor­tance. Indeed, he has contributed greatly to Prep on all levels.

One of the few teachers to edu­cate seniors for each of the past four years, he has taught freshmen in W orld Civilizations, sophomores and juniors in United States History 1, and seniors in The World Since 1945. Look- ing forward to his class everyday, young scholars lucky enough to have had him fondly remember how suc­cessfully they learned and desired to learn more from this erudite educa-

^o r - DMK

O f course, the shadow of the Je­suit experience extends further than academic education. Since his arrival at Prep and up until last year, this "man for and with others" has admirably mod­

erated the student council, and still leads the Indo-Pak society Although E-403 serves as his base of operations, his presenca proliferates throughout the entire community. His dedication to tha

morning prayer services and history lecture] continue to enhance the community. Graced with his company every year, about twenty jun iors experience his compassionate spirit on thei Emmaus retreat. His homeroom embodies hi: enthusiasm every Mission Drive, continually leac ing the student body.

His universal recognition emanates from hi golden personality. Students describe this hi: tory maven as charismatic and amicable, an< colleagues admire his integrity. His striking quali ties of peerless wit and authentic humor enhanci his relationships with others. For all the accc lades bestowed upon him, countless more exis in the hearts and minds of students he ha touched. For all these reasons the class of 200^

dedicates this Petrean of 2004 to our teacher, friend, and brother Mr. Thomas Murphy, '85.

C u d d ih y ’s C r e wM ost students cannot begin to hint a

shadow of appreciation for the administra­tion in the Main Office of M ulry Hall. The gate­w ay to all that occurs in the Prep, these rooms bustle with activity. The staff dedicates itself to provid ing an ideal Jesuit high school expe­rience.

Headed this year by the spirited M r. Kevin Cuddihy, St. Peter's Prep lies in good hands. Deciding to take the helm o f our school came easily as our principal proclaims a life-long faith in the ideals of Jesuit institutions. Fresh from his 13 year tenure as the dean o f student affairs at Xavier High School, Mr. Cuddihy confidently looks to maintain the excellence set by his predecessors. "G reat things are true here a t Prep," he says. Assuredly, in the com­ing months and years, our new principal w ill augment his improvements to the institution.

As the intelligentsia of the Catholic Churchthe Society of Jesus stresses academics in theii schools. M r. Patrick Reidy manages the many I \ responsibilities entrusted to the Vice-Principa j with apparent ease. Experience and diligence m grant this veteran of Prep the capab ility tcs oversee and maintain the schedules and or K ganization of all the students. In addition tc ■ ' handling the duties of his position, Mr. Reid)] I f also finds time to head the M ath Teams.

As these two men w ill tell, however, these jobs would be impossible to perform withou the capab le secretarial staff of Ms. Nancy Cunningham, Ms. G race G ula rio and Ms M arge Supple. These three women work as an integral part o f the administrative process handling the clerical duties and always pre pared to resolve problems from the students and parents of the Prep Community.

Prep students' lives. Everyday, the Dean's O f­fice, the Attendance O ffice, and the Nurse's O ffice teem with activity. W hen the average Prep student approaches M r. D andorph 's desk, he can only wonder what merits such a meeting. M r. Ken Dandorph enforces Prep's po licy of conduct by acting as the "w arden" of JUG. The Nurse's O ffice lies ad jacent to Mr. Dandorph's room. Ms. Helene Schneider administers medicine and treats ailments.

A long w ith Fr. M cM anus, S.J., Ms. Cecilia Collins actively operates both the Attendance O ffice and the Lost & Found. Students who arrive to school tardy must sign themselves into the late book and consequently into JUG unless they exercise their senior priv ilege. Teachers relay their attendance slips to her room at the end of each day.

The Dean of the school, M r. James Collins, patrols the cafeteria, dealing with rambunc­tious students. As the Dean, M r. Collins can

always be seen in the cafeteria, patrolling theB area, looking for any miscreants and left overl] garbage. In addition, Mr. Collins takes charge! of student lockers. It is no easy feat balancing! lockers for over 9 0 0 students, but Mr. C o llins l performs his duties well.

The jobs they carry out may be radically® different, but M r. Dandorph, Ms. Schneider,! Ms. Collins, and M r. Collins all contribute to l facets o f everyday life at Prep.

H a i l t o t h e P r i e s tPerhaps no one's shadow in the administra-

>n looms grander than that of the President, Fr. imes Keenan, SJ. In his ninth year as Prep's esident, he continues to oversee the social, spiri- al and financial spheres of this Jesuit high hool. Through addressing the school, celebrat- g liturgies and staying in contact with alumni, e President shows that the community of Prep i o w s no bounds. W ith the help of his secretary, iS. Maryphyllis Locricchio, Fr. Keenan makes

crucial monetary decisions regarding Prep's cur­rent and future condition. W ithout his efforts, the Carpe Diem campaign for the Warren Street Plaza and the construction of Victory Field would have never materialized. Proud of the new morning prayer services, Fr. Keenan personally involves himself with the religious aspects and activities at Prep. The diversity o f students acts as a testa­ment to his Ignatian ideals. He has high hopes for the school's outlook with a new principal.

Assisting the President, Vice President James Horan directs the External Affairs Pro­gram. A graduate from the class o f 1970, he continues to work into his 3 0 th year. Collabo­rating with four directors, Mr. Horan performs four major duties: fundraising, alumni relations, communications and student recruitment. He also teaches a senior elective in journalism. Open Houses and reunions run smoothly thanks to the efforts and expertise of M r. Horan.

W H O ’S W H O INSHALLOE

Life in Shalloe Hall moves at a hectic pace, (very day, students are bound to see teachers, tirectors and Jesuit priests on the move. There's j|o doubt about it—the members of Shalloe Hall reatly contribute to the success and organiza- jon that characterize Prep as a great school.

As the director of admissions, Mr. John Irvine fisures that the "Best and the Brightest" attend rep. While not a walk in the park, the effort defi- itely pays off in the end. By contributing his time Ind effort through his partic ipation in open jouses, HAP, and other scholastic events, Mr. Ivjne acts an example for the Prep community.

Ms. Ginny Needham-Doyle, Director of Com- punications, designs and produces collateral laterial as well as brochures for alumni. In addi- pn, she coordinates events for the Parents' As- sciation, which comprises approximately sixty arents of Prep students. The association orga- izes several events, such as the Prep Fashion how, the Ring and Baccalaureate Masses, Prep >pen Houses, Back To School N ightand a Night It the Races. W hen asked about her position, f\s. Needham-Doyle states that the "...ultimate

goal is to provide a comprehensive image for alumni, students, teachers and the general com­munity." As the personal assistant to Ms. Doyle, Ms. M ary Finn takes charge of Development Ser­vices and organizing the "Work-Study Program."

Ms. Lani Batac, Ms. Elizabeth Walsh and Ms. M arge Baker manage fundraising events, schol­arship opportunities, and tuition expenses. They handle alumni relations and events as well as organize charitable alumni donations that ben­efit the tuition costs of students. In addition, they coordinate important events at Prep, such as the Presidential Dinner, Century Club, St. Peter's Club and Grand & W arren Distinguished Volunteers.

As Director of Alumni Relations, Mr. David Donnelly oversees nearly everything that involves Prep Alumni. From planning out class reunions to organizing the Legends of Prep, Mr. Donnelly keeps himself busy. He maintains close contact with Prep graduates, and by doing so, keeps the spirit of the Prep community alive.

Responsible for future and former Prep stu­dents, Shalloe Hall does it all.

Ms. M aria Scrudato, Mr. Pyke Roman and senior Chris M aday contribute their time and ef­fort to keep this crucial oft overlooked element of the Prep community running. They act as Prep's postal service and strive to keep Prep informed about various events, constantly sorting and send­

The shadows of the dawn and dusk at Grand ind Warren set an appropriate backdrop for the vork occurring around and behind these closed loors. Early in the morning and late in the ivening, the Prep maintenance crew endures the la ily task of cleaning up after the tornado of tudents and faculty storms through the school irounds. The process o f the damage control oc- urs throughout the Prep, touching all corners of le hallowed institution. From ladders being

lugged from one place to another to Rich hollering at students with his "Ghostbuster" vacuum pack in tow, the crew maintains a consistent omnipres­ence throughout the day. W ithout a word (or maybe a few), they leap to their feet and prepare to eradicate the destruction that students leave behind in their wake. Broken lightfixtures, crooked desks, and chalky boards inhabit the classrooms and hallways of the Prep, awaiting the attention of these men for others. Naturally, all members

of the Prep community see the hard work these men and women contribute. However, the often overlooked nighttime crew perform an equally indispensable job. W ithout them, one's morning routine would not be the same. From their vigi­lance of the darkest depths to their concern for visible surfaces used on a daily basis, Prep lies in the care of these experienced engineers of custodianship. Though the work requires constant maintenance they are never at a loss for patience.

T h e W r it e S t u f f‘English is a discipline of discovery, of

exploration and of contrasts”

In her senior elective course, Ms. Wortman Ms. Rinder sits down with her junior section brings modern drama to life. and engages in a seminar style discussion.

Dr. Kennedy and senior Brian McGrath enjoy a good joke over a student's paper.

Prep's English Department develops stu­dents' ab ility to communicate ideas effi­c iently and effectively, enhances w riting skills, improves their command of vocabu­lary, and deepens their appreciation of lit­erature. During the four required years of English, w riting and discussion compose integral parts of one's appreciation of lit­erature. The students analyze American nov­els such as The Catcher in the Rye, The Scarlet Letter, The Great Gatsby, British clas­sics such as Beowulf and Hamlet, as well as contem porary classics.

Mr. Peters, who heads the department remarks, "Influenced by the detritus o f mod­ern m edia, m any high school students mislabel the traditional language arts as obsolete monoliths possessing the dyna-

r

mism of a moving glacier. O ur goal as a department is to realign these skewed per­spectives and foment intellectual hunger that w ill continue to grow throughout the lives of these young men." The English cur­riculum sharpens a Prep student's ability to think critically, a skill Prep students take with them for the rest of their lives. Sir Cam­pion adds, "The English students of Prep have seen great success in their SAT and SAT II verbal, w riting and literature. They have also experienced success in writing in college. The English Department is proud o f these achievements." The diverse array o f lite ra ry works read by Prep students combined with the expert guidance of the English faculty prepares them for their di­verse lives ahead.

From com puter program m ing, to ba lanc ing a checkbook, and even to something as o rd in a ry as chan­nel surfing, mathematics plays a con­stant role in eve ryday life.

From Finite Math to AP Statistics, Mr. Dadas's classes effec­tive ly prepare students for advanced co lle g e courses and entrance ex­ams. Students continuously congre­ga te in M r. Hu's classroom a fte r school e ither fo r extra help or SAT review. Recent add itions to the fac­ulty, Mr. U rbanovich and M r. M uir, bring the enthusiasm and devotion necessary fo r the enlightenm ent of students. The m athem atics d e p a rt­ment rem ains one o f the schoo l's greatest assets and a key element in the education o ffe red here.

.Ra in f o r o u r R o o t s“Seeing God

Defining the characteristic of Prep's Jesuit roots, the religion curriculum edu­cates men of competence, conscience, and compassion. Prep's religion courses range from studying the lives of saints and interpreting the Bible to social jus­tice and ethics courses. The curriculum incorporates Church history along with a deep study of Scripture. Intertwining the religion courses with the Jesuit idea of seeing God in all things, the depart­ment helps students to apply learned con­cepts to real-world situations.

Even though they may not be tradi­tional, many different resources are used. Whether it's taking reflection trips to the Madonna Chapel, or watching the educational video "The M iracle of Life," Prep's religion program provides

m

students with perspective and knowl­edgeable world views.

The teachers in Prep's religion de­partment guide students to think about their personal faith in different ways. Looking back upon his time at Prep, se­nior Neal Santos observes, "I gained more perspective here. I could never have imagined how far I've traveled from freshman year. I can't believe what an incredible spiritual journey I experi­enced at Prep."

No matter what religious background the Prep students originate from, all may actively participate in the broad class discussions. Prep's religion department remains true to this year's motto of "Sending our roots rain."

Providing students with the skills to un­derstand and interpret the natural world, studies in the field of science maintain the well-rounded education offered by Prep. The variety of scientific subjects en­ables students to better comprehend the biological, chemical and physical as­pects of the universe.

Naturally, a complete understanding of concepts requires laboratory experi­ments as a supplement to the lessons taught in the classroom. This hands-on- research not only challenges students in the learning process, but also grants them a practical understanding of scientific hy­potheses.

The dedicated department staff is comprised of Biology, Chemistry, Phys­ics, and Geoscience teachers. Mr. Zaw istow ski, M r. Crosby, and Ms.

M ueller educate students about the anatomy, ecology, and evolution of liv­ing organisms. Ms. LeCalvez, Mr. Dowling, Fr. O 'Connor, S.J., and Dr. Scully teach about elemental and chemi­cal interaction. Fr. O'Brien, S.J. and Mr. Hovan handle topics regarding the physi­cal aspects of science. Mr. Boyle teaches about the earth's intricate atmospheric and meteorological conditions.

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

By combining enthusiastic teachers with an exciting curriculum, the science department captivates the intellect of the student body.

Whether learning Espanol, reading Francais, speaking Deutsch or discovering Italiano, one of the most unique and ben­eficial experiences a Prep student has in his Prep career lies in his study of a Mod­ern Language.

Under the expert leadership of depart­ment chairperson Senora Garcia, teach­ers Senorita Walsh, Herr DeAngelo and Si­gnora Romano provide students with nec­essary lessons in the mastery of a lan­guage. New teachers Senor Thomson and Monsieur Beaudette add life to each of their classes.

Entering his sophomore year, a student can choose amongst the great languages of Spanish, German, Italian, or French. Grammatical rules, intense vocabulary memorization and speech formation remain crucial in the study of each tongue. In their

second year of language, students develop their linguistic talents through an increased stress on culture. Seniors may continue pur­suing a modern language through honors or Advanced Placement classes.

Beyond the classroom, students display their love of these foreign cultures through other activities. The popularity of the Latin- American society, French Club, German Club, and Italian Club act as a testament to the interest of blossoming international scholars. Perhaps the most exciting aspects of the language department, the German, Italian, and French exchanges, and the Spanish trip to Salamanca allow for a real process of cultural diffusion.

At the end of this long journey, these scholars marvel at how they have learned a whole new culture and expanded dimen­sions to their own traditions as well.

Greek program, taught by Ms. Lochbrunner, brings another ancient favorite to select jun­iors and seniors this year. In discovering the cultures associated with their respec­tive languages, students create a founda­tion to facilitate their exploration of the Romance and English languages.

Students admit that the classes tend to get frustrating when they realize that they are speaking a language which has been obsolete for over the course of a millen­nium. However, the work pays off eventu­ally with the thrill of deciphering trouble­some vocabulary on the PSATs and SATs such as "deleterious" and "ululation." Whether the area of study spans from two years to four, there exists one guarantee: the world of Catallus, Caesar, and the lov­able Cornelii family will surely linger in our minds for years to come.

"Odi et amo...” The love affair between men of Prep and their classics department has created a tumultuous relationship. While certainly one of the more enjoyable facets of the Prep, learning a classical language often becomes a lost art for most students. Keeping true to the Jesuit tradition, teach­ers educate scholars in the arts of dead languages.

From "Puella sub arbore sedet" to "Arma virumque camo," Latin has mystified and perplexed students for years. New teach­ers Mr. Riordan, SJ. and Mr. Knittel join Ms. Meyer, Ms. Spano, and Ms. Baber in the instruction of this ancient tongue. The curriculum includes the reading of such mythological works as the Aeneid and the Odyssey. A comprehensive study of Roman history provides a practical application of the Latin language.

tist takes a mistake and turns it into an idea9'"A good aiThe vibrant diversity that has enriched

the Prep community and history reflects an often overlooked aspect of the institution. The Fine Arts Department helps the Prep com­munity to discover this multi-faceted culture. Whether as a freshman enrolled in the In­troduction to Art class or as a senior taking the History of Rock & Roll class, Prep stu­dents immerse themselves in the snapshots and sounds of the world.

Ms. Hellstrom, department chairperson, along with Ms. Yost, firm believer and preacher of the quote above, breathe life into a student's eyes and hands through the art of sculpture, photography, and paint­ing. Led by the music man himself, Mr. Caslowitz, the various bands create a fit­ting soundtrack to accompany a life at Prep. Students and faculty alike can view the countless portraits, paintings, and pictures hung in the library, as well as listen to the

band at football games or the winter and spring concerts.

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

The men and women of the guidance department and college placement of­fice have proven themselves indispens­able components of the support system for Prep students. Whether a freshman confused by Prep's grading system, or a senior looking to gain acceptance to the college of his choice, the guidance coun­selors remain one of the scarce and in­valuable constants in a Prep career. W illing to help in any way possible, Mr. Dondero believes the counselors work "to facilitate the lives of the students" and to lend a hand in the major decisions students face. Ms. Rowan feels that a counselor must "deal with the problems the student faces while at Prep, as well as his concerns away from school." The job of keeping a watchful eye on the

entire Prep student body requires a uni­versal approach. All the counselors prac­tice a mantra of openness, generosity, service and friendship, providing the stu­dents with people to identify with and to look at with intimate respect.

"Physical Expression o f the Human Spirit'

Emerging from the shadows of the accomplishments of past teams and stars, Prep Athletics continues to forge its own identity, redefining itse lf w h ile m a in ta in ing Prep's illustrious tradition. Constantly raising the bar, Prep's dedicated athletes set high standards for com­petitive greatness. Banners in the gym, the historical pic­tures in the lobby of the En­glish building, and the mul­titude of "hardware” honor Prep's own pantheon of ath­letic achievement. Before re­ceiving any glory and enjoy­

ing pro lific success, Prep employs committed coach­ing staffs that push Prep men beyond their limits, testing their heart and spirit. On the field of competition, M a­rauder teams can always counton the extra intangible boost from a community of devoted fans, enthusiasti­cally and creatively urging them on. Complementing and equaling St. Peter's out­standing academic reputa­tion, the athletic department of Prep brings glory to the b ro th e rh oo d under the shadow of St. Peter.

ne Team: throughout the season, every piece of the giant puzzle fit into a singular mosaic. All portions of the collage worked perfectly. A mere word summarizes Prep football, from its offensive units, to its defensive stands,

to its dedicated fans: one.Bishop Francis Essex Catholic provided a

welcomed boost to the team that lost Joe Dailey '03 and other graduated players. These new additions became integral members of the squad. “The transfer students were a perfect fit/' said Coach Rich Hansen. "The other members of the team welcomed them, and they really embraced Prep, the football team, and our way of life."

The team dominated throughout the season, during which they scored 522 points. "The offense really had a collective effort. Everyone did their job, starting with the offensive line, to [Quarterback] Ryan Boysen, to the running backs, to our wide receivers/' praised Hansen. Boysen had a 75% completion rate while leading the offense. The running back trio of juniors M ike Brown and Rashawn Jackson, and sophomore Kee-Ayre Griffin, ran for a collective 2,562 yards.

Senior Chris Traba led the defensive effort, compiling 92 tackles and two fumble recoveries. Senior James Tindall also contributed a key effort, culm inating his season as the Hudson County Defensive Player of the Year for his 43 tackles and 11 V i sacks. The greatest testament to the defense lies in numbers. Prep only allowed 32 points, with not one point scored until the eighth game.

Simply put, the team dominated all aspects of play. The conjunction and fluidity of each teammate functioning as one led to the great success of this year's group. The Marauders' supremacy in Hudson County resulted in the school's 4th consecutive HCIAA Championship. The outlook for years to come certainly remains very bright.

young, agile and determined squad of freshmen entered Prep's training facil- ity in August of 2003 . The daily prac-

' tice routines, rigorous drills, and team lectures created a resilient group of players to take on various,Hudson County rivals. However, the brilliance of Head Coach Matt Roselle, com­bined with Prep's valuable training, formed a powerful team in the HCIAA Freshman Division and permitted the group to set new records while shattering legendary ones.

Team captain and starting freshman quarter- back John Rodino led his newly formed team onto the field against North Bergen. The spec­tacular effort put forth by the team resulted in a clutch win of 12-8. The success sparked the phe­nomenal feat of an undefeated season (10-0), one that Prep has not achieved in recent years. Yet, the accomplishments of the young Prep ath­letes enhanced an already great season.

The remarkable connection between Rodino and freshman running back Michael Clarke al- lowed for many completed plays. Leading rusher Clarke broke the previously set Prep record for touchdowns by a freshman. The offensive streak continued throughout the season as freshman wide receiver Michael Lang caught a record num­ber of passes resulting in touchdowns. The team could not have earned its wins solely on offense. The menacing presence of freshman defensive backs W ill Thompson and Steve Pankiewicz stopped even the most relentless offenses. M oti­vated by an intense, thrilling season, the prospec­tive young men will continue their success in the coming years. Prep football fans can expect many electrifying games in future seasons.

T his year, Prep's varsity soccer team sought to continue their late-season streak of wins from the previous season and storm through their Hudson County schedule. Although met by several formidable

opponents, highlights of the team's season in­cluded solid wins over rivals Bayonne and Hudson Catholic, in addition to prolific battles with other top teams from around the state. The culmination of the team's strength and talent was a displayed during their shutout victory over DePaul \ \in the opening round of the state tournament.

Senior captains M ike Rooney and Pat Mellea set the tone and led the team during sum­mer workouts up through the final minutes of the last game. The hustling Mellea patrolled midfield alongside the skillful and evasive senior Paul Ascencio. Additionally, the offense was powered by the aggressive play o f junior forward Rich Kaminski and sophomore Ted Yager. Rooney's calm demeanor, along with the excellent mark­ing of senior Todd Schild, held together a stingy Prep defensive unit. Finally, the top-notch play of senior goalies Ben Tamberella and M att Gnall' remained consistent all season long.

Although the Prep soccer team'srecord does not reflect the tenacity of the team, their magnificent play during many games was proof that they possessed the ability to play anyone, anywhere. Always upbeat and in good spirits, the team found success in more than just the matches they played.

Scoring 14 goals apiece, freshmen Raul Velasquez and Brian Bannon led the team's offensive firepower. The defense con­stituted the core of the squad, which benefited from the leadership of sophomore captains Chris Barry and W ill Griffin, and tied a JV record of 11 shutouts.

Coach M cCabe said, "W e improved with every practice and game. W e were playing our best at the end of the season and that's all a team can hope for.'' The results of this hard work materialized at the season's end, where in the county playoffs the JV squad defeated a resilient North Bergen team and rolled past Emerson to capture the county title. Out of county, Prep came away with huge wins against Columbia, Peddie, and Passaic Valley. The team rallied to score 59 total goals and only gave up 17 goals in 19 games. These young guns represent a sure sign that Prep soccer will thrive in the years to come.

T he 2003 cross-country team proved one of the better teams in recent years, and this success was facilitated only by hard work and determination, which began long before the season had even begun in Sep­

tember. Led by senior captain Brian Lang and Brian Wilson, and junior Sebastian Fidelus, the Marauders experimented with a new. summer training regimen, which resulted in some team members logging in mileage ranging from 40 0 miles to over 600 miles by the end of the summer.

This experimental routine proved to be effective, as the Marauders captured the Jersey City Championship and South Hudson Champi­onship on the varsity, junior varsity, and fresh­man levels, and secured second place in both the Hudson County and Coaches' County Cham­pionships behind a state-ranked Memorial team.

Individually, however, the story of the season belongs to senior Brian Lang. Aside from handily winning all four major Hudson County races, he won the M cQuaid Invitational in Roch­ester, NY, a feat that had never been achieved before by a Prep runner. He qualified for the cross-country Meet of Champions, which had hot been accomplished in over a decade.

The cross-country team earned their achievements this season, working tirelessly on their own, as well as with the team, in order to create and strengthen the team's tremendous sense of unity. Each member of the determined squad helped to raise the bar for all future run­ners at Prep to follow, leaving its mark forever on a school which prides itself on never giving up.The 2 0 03 Prep cross-country team did just that- not for medals or recognition-but for each other.

R arely out of a game, St. Peter's varsity basketball team persevered through a trying season, improving last year's win total by five games. In eight of its twelve

losses, the squad only lost by a cumulative margin of 16 points. Overcoming defensive struggles and early inconsistency at the free throw line, this year's Marauders constantly battled in every game. Three of the four senior players suffered injuries: sharp­shooter Scott Holt endured a facial laceration; a sprained wrist sidelIned two-gua'd Pat Kelly for much of the season, and captain Angel Collado played through an ankle injury, a sprained ACFL. Assuming an integral leadership role, Collado led the team ift-points, assists, and steals. Junior Pete Geary contributed solid minutes while intermittently running the point, and junior Nelson Albino added a scoring spark off the bench. Senior l.uke Schade split time playing center with junior Pat O'Rourke, who: grabbed the most rebounds on the team. Jun­ior Pat Blaney's athleticism fit right into Prep's de­fensive plan, often utilizing a full court press to create turnovers.

An enormous amount of credit belongs to Coach George Alvarez, who provided excellent scouting for each and every matchup; "He would spend at least three hours before every game just breaking down tape. W e were always prepared for every game, we knew what plays the opponent would run and eVerything^commented Collado. The team's non-stop effort, hustle, and hard work paid off in important victories over Union Hill and St. M ary's. The storybook buzzer-beater win over St. M ary's in Prep's last game fittingly embodied the bright future for the Marauders.

Entering the 2003-2004 season, Prep's JV Basketball team stepped onto the hardwood court with the possibility of establishing an effective system that

would continue into the coming years. After the arduous days of various training routines, from suicide drills to lifting weights, the team experi­enced the loss of starting point guard sophomore Jack Opel. Various players stepped up, including sophomores Joe Vayas and Ryan Gelchion, who displayed leadership qualities and athleticism that transcended all the expectations of the coaches. With the guidance and experience of head coach Rob Bruckner, the team pulled off remarkable wins against St. M ary 's, St. A l's, J.P. Stevens, and Rahway. Starting off 4-0, the team utilized their skills to lock down on their opponents with an im­penetrable defense. Complemented by sophomore M ike Gorman's average o f 9 .6 points per game, and by sophomore Mike Haas's presence under the basket, Vayas achieved a solid scoring aver­age of 12.6 and a 7 1 4 free throw percentile.

The players pleased Prep fans with entertain­ing wins against long time rivals Hudson Catho­lic, Dickinson, and Lincoln. In review of the sea­son, Coach Bruckner said, "Overall, everyone played remarkably well. The effort put forth by this young group was commendable and the team will be in even better shape next year as we will get to have an incorporation of both JV players from this year and many of the freshman players who had their own awesome season," Vayas shared his sea­son lesson: "W hat we learned was we must be prepared for everything, and to come out on top. Hard work, constant energy, and motivation;}? the only way to get a jump on the competition.'' V/

Summarizing the Prep Hockey season in so few words does little justice to their numer­ous successes. Through a combination of teamwork, dedication, and enthusiasm, the

Prep Hockey team transformed into an unstoppable machine that captured the hearts of many within the hallowed Prep halls. Filled with moments of triumph, the team's storybook season offered players, coaches, and fans the experience of a lifetime.

With a 26-4 record, the team finished ranked second in New Jersey, and had the highest winning percentage not only in the state, but also ip the program's history. Led by senior captains Brendan Whitford, John Kohn, and Bill Dwyer, the squad be­gan the year on a twelve-game winning streak. An early season victory over defending State Champion Bergen Catholic indicated their forthcoming success.

For the second consecutive year, the Marauders captured the Central Red Conference Division Cham­pionship; however, the team fell to Ridge High School in the finals. Despite the setback, the team plowed through their opponents in state playoffs. In the post­season, Prep prevailed over Red Bank Catholic and set up a rematch against Don Bosco Prep. In a dra­matic 4-3 overtime victory, the Marauders avenged an earlier loss. Prep advanced to the semi-finals against Delbarton, the state's top ranked team. As a testa­ment to their drive, Prep defeated the perennial jug­gernaut. During the NJSIAA Parochial Schools State Championship, the Prep hockey season fittingly ended on the ice o f legends at Continental Airlines Arena. The 3-1 loss to Seton Hall Prep marked the end of a spectacular year for Prep Hockey. Enhancing an amazing year, individual accolades augmented the team's overall success. Junior G io Capodanno and Whitford reached career milestones of 100 points.

Many witnesses of this year's Hockey team de­scribed the season as "magical," others as "inspir­ing." The team's success, even in the face of adver­sity, leaves lasting impressions in the minds of Petreans.

s Benefiting from a new look, the Prep JV Hockey team enjoyed great results from a change in the coaching staff. Assis­tant coach from the previous two years,

Damien Arnone began the season as the head coach with a sense of optimism and confidence in his lineup. He described the team as "a good group of players both academically and physi­cally. Each and everyone played the game as it should be played.'' With assistant coach Chris Curko's he|p, Arnone maintained a winning record of 10-9 despite close losses versus tough competitors. Encounters against challenging op­ponents, including Seton Hall Prep, St. Joseph (Metychen),; Delbarton, St. Joseph (Montvale), and Bishop Eustace, resulted in games lost by only one point. Contributions from senior co-cap­tains Rob Androsiglio and Eric Oemer.te allowed the team to perform well, especially during the victory over Hudson Catholic. Towards the end of the season, the squad won sever of its iast nine games with a six-game winning streak in between. Leading scorer, junior John Hanrahan accumulated 32 points thanks to the passing skills of freshman Rich Musso. Only allowing 29 goals in 12 games, goalie Josh Dybus ensured a solid presence in the crease along with standout fresh-: man Kevin Fox. Although the loss of three seniors will inf)uence next year's group, Coach Arnone expects only im prb^m ent cOming off of a ten win season.

Remarked Androsiglio of; the season, "I be­lieve that Prep's JV program is the best anyone has seen in years. Our crew battled some tough opponents, but managed to come together, work hard, and win some key victories. Both Eric and I are confident that next.year's^qyad will progress immensely and rise up to meet any challenges the next season will bring."

Junior Mike Pizzi exherts bis strength as tie keeps his opponent at bay:

he Prep Wrestling team confronted the ■ shadows left behind by last year's ex-,,

M ceptional seniors and established their mMLm own in a year meant to rebuild.

Although not expected to duplicate the sue* cess of the previous 18-win season, the 2003-04 squad, led by Coach Anthony Verdi, surpassed these expectations, coming close to last year's record with 17 wins. An early sweep by the Var- sity and jV iineups in the prestigious David Brearley Tournament set the pace for the roller­coaster, ride, which included wins cgainst Seton Hall Prep and Christian Brothers Academy. To­wards the end of the season, the Marauders out­classed North Bergen, the school's perennial archrival for decades. This win tasted especially sweet considering three years had passed since the Bruins had fallen at the hands of St. Peter's.

Individually, Prep had a healthy balance of established stars and up-and-coming potential. Juniors M ike Rohrman, Manny DeMoya and Mike Smith introduced the maturity that has honed: their matches, and displayed signs of the strong leadership to follow next year. Seniors Andrew Griffith anc Eoin M ara contributed strong effort? despite consistently facing state-recognized op- ponentsen route to placing third in the District 16 Championships, which was no easy feat. Cap­tain Sean O 'G rady won the District and Region

' 4 Championships at 103 pounds before losing in the preliminary rounds at the state tournament

Atlantic City. Finally,,senior Konrad Dudziak went undefeated in the regular season and bull­dozed through the District and Region Champi-

: onshipibefore placing fo.urth^Whe state at 2X5 pounds. Along the way to the medal podium, he became: the ail-time Prep leader of wins with 94.

rep Swimming took its tradition of tri­umph to a new level this season. An­chored by captains seniors Denis Eagan and Mike Fitzmaurice, and junior Brian Kennedy, this year's team swam to new heights. The

depth of the team allowed them to suffer only two losses to one team the entire season. Coaches Luke Piede and Frank Thomson expected greatness from the team and they witnessed excellence as a result.

The season began with a 15th place ranking in the state and its first victory ever against Pingry. As the season continued the workload increased dramatically, but nothing could tire the unbeatable spirit of the team. Prep won every dual meet in December and January with the exception of St. Joseph's of Metuchen, the number one team in the state, and won State Sectionals for the second year in a row. As February washed up onto shore, the team began competing in the NJSIAA State Tournament In the quarterfinals, Prep swimmers defeated Bergen Catholic, the team that had beat out Prep the year before in the same round. The team then faced St. Joseph's of Metuchen for a second time in the semifinals, only to be ousted after a well fought meet where numerous swimmers posted personal bests. Prep dominated the HC1AA County Championships placing first in every event and even broke county meet records in the 200 Medley Relay and the 400 Freestyle Relay. These two relays then traveled to NJSIAA's Meet of Champions, where they improved their times even more and placed in the top 26 in the state. At the completion of the season the Star Ledger

topped an already terrific season by naming the Swim Team the North Jersey Team of the Year and Coach Piede the North Jersey Coach of the Year.

It seems that no future team at Prep can top the success of this year. However, the squad, under the new head coaching of Thomson, w ill have many great swimmers in every class. Kennedy and Dougherty of junior year; LiVolsi, Kraivanger, Kearney, and Hector Flores of sophomore year; and Pat Giamario and Nick Cannizzaro of freshman year will build on their suc­cess of this year and continue to strive for victory.

Exceeding expectations, Prep V Indoor Track team entered the season as un­derdogs after losing a wealth of talent from last year's team. The coaching tri­

umvirate of M ike Burgess, Lee Chua, and Dennis, Hu managed to integrate senior transfers Led: Ferrine, James Tindall, and Anthony Gaskins with the home-grown leadership q f the captains, se­niors Brian Lang and Patrick Mellea, and, junior Sebastian Fidelus.

However, the most significant contribution^ came from seniors Lang and Mellea, whose ac­complishments de livered first place Hudson County titles in the individual and relay events, a feat that has not been achieved since 1996. St. Peter's Prep trounced county rival Memorial High School with a final score of 117-54 at the New York City Armoury. The dynamic duo continued their success at the Meet of Champions where Mellea ran the 800 meter and finished in fourth place, and Lang set a new Prep record in the 1,600 meter while finishing sixth place. Such a high stan­dard presents a difficult precedent for future run­ners to follow; however, the underclassmen remain eager to step out of the shadows of the past.

Jn a sport as revered as any other, Coach Robert Zawistowski's Bowling Team contained the mental toughness and muscle memory to strike its opponents

on any alley. Following the loss of the entire previ­ous year's varsity team through graduation, this year's squad, lead by senior co-captains Mike Downs and Dan Kiczek, who boasted averages of 187 and 190, respectively, accepted the chal­lenge to maintain the school's success in this sport by delivering a third straight county title. All with averages over 180, senior veterans Paul Oriowicz, Vinnie Naviello, and sophomore Joel Salazar rounded off this group of formidable rollers.

No longer in the shadows of last year's se­niors, this year's team had a high standard to meet after finishing first on JV for the past three years. During this golden period, the team forged close bonds, a positive factor, which contributed to its undefeated record through the first half of the season. However, an equally talented adver­sary, Hudson County Prep, avenged its earlier loss to St. Peter's and stole the lead in the standings during the second and third position rounds, a new form of scheduling introduced this season to match teams with similar records more often.

Due to snow and certain logistical problems, the seniors remained unable to face its opponents and did not receive a fair shot to reclaim first place and finished third in the division behind Hudson County Prep and Dickinson High School. Senior Dan Kiczek, also an all-star bowler for the South Hudson Division, reflected, "despite our finish this year, I truly appreciate how far we have come as individual bowlers and as a team after these past four years together."

"Lighting the Lamp A fter the Sun Sets"

Amidst the proclamations of teacher absences, the morn­ing announcements desig­nate spec ific times and places for meetings to as­semble. When the clocks of Grand and W arren strike 2:30 p.m., signifying the end of the school day, life at Prep just begins to buzz with com­motion. Roaming through the halls after eighth period, one can easily encounter students and teachers eager to discuss various issues and organize upcoming events. Co-curricular activities en­com pass a substantia l amount of many Prepsters' lives. The time each spends contributing to the club re­flects the amount of his dedi­cation. W ith such diverse interests present at the school, the array o f Prep

activities caters to the tastes of all. Meetings for organi­zations such as SADD, Out­reach, and Amnesty Interna­tional provide forums for serious topics, while more recreational activities such as the Video Game Club and the Rugby Club proffer channels for the expression of different pursuits. The es­tablishment of new activities, such as the Independent Film Society and Prep Fac­tor, demonstrate the Jesuit ideal of openness to growth. Whether writing an informa­tive article for the Petroc or playing an intense game of chess, students enable them­selves to bring certain tal­ents into the light and to share these individual gifts with their peers and the en­tire Prep community.

Infused with adrenaline and raw en- I I ergy, seniors Marauder Konrad Dudziak and H Henchman Christopher Bludgus rile up the I ] Prep crowd as part o f the Spirit Commit- I tee.

Every morning in the depths of Burke Hall, harmonious sounds of melodies rise from the band room. These sounds bring life to Prep each morning, from 7:30 a.m. until 8:20 a.m. Their hard work echoes the Prep Band's dedication,

The Prep Band presented a Christmas Concert, along with both the Prep and Holy Family's Choir. It marked the first time that the Christmas Concert occurred on a Tuesday night in Saint Peter's Church. Thanks to the efforts of both the band's director Mr. Steve Caslowitz and the Prep's choir director Mr. Scot Hovan, the band performed a mag­nificent show for the audience and composed a night filled with harmonious sounds worth remembering.

The Prep Band has made every concert and event memo­rable because of its members' total devotion, concentra­tion, and respect for each other. The oft-overlooked band greatly contributes to the Prep in its own important and distinct manner.

With the voices o f Prep's chorus sup­porting him, sopho­more Julian Pormentilla p re ­pares fo r his solo performance in "Rise Up, Shepherd, and Follow."

Emerging from the depths of a near decade long hiatus, the Prep Chorale Group has returned to rejuvenate a stag­nant part of the Prep life. At the request of several students, Mr. Scot Hovan agreed to moderate the new and improved chorus. Qualified and talented, Mr. Hovan sang in musical groups while attending the University of Dayton. Moreover, his time spent while singing in the Detroit Concert Choir further qualified him as a leader of this new group. Audi­tions were held early October and a surprising amount of students showed up to try-out. Unfortunately, Mr. Hovan could only accept sixteen vocally gifted students.

The Prep Chorus practices every M onday and Wednes­day mornings from 7:30 a.m. to 8:20 a.m. Routinely, prac­tices begin with neck and vocal exercises. Singers proceed to rehearse various songs for upcoming events. The Cho­rale group made their premier performance at the Prep's annual Christmas Concert. Joined in song by the members of the Holy Family Academy Choir, chorus members per­formed "W hite Christmas," "Silent N ight," and the beauti­fu lly sung "Rise Up Shepherd ."S en io r D an ie l Kiczek attended the concert and commented, "The Prep C ho ir has added a missing e lem ent to the Prep music pro­gram. They are phenomenal."

In addition to their concert, the Prep chorus took a trip to see New York City's Gay Men's Choir in Carnegie Hall. Such excursions added depth to the already develop­ing student organization. By immersing themselves in differ­ent genres of music, Prep's Chorale Group experienced part of the culture present within the world in hopes of sharing that knowledge with the community through song.

Supplemented by members o f the Prep Cho­rus, the liturgical choir gained valuable experi­ence at this year's assemblies.

Po lit ic a llyThe Student Council has undergone many changes over

the past year, yet the goal of the elected officials, to repre­sent and voice the opinions of the student body, remains constant. This year's council, under the guidance of new moderator Ms. Marie Curry, has picked up where last year left off with the fi nalization of the Student Council Constitu­tion. Adopting a more hands-on approach to activities and proposals, the Council aimed this year to be a fluid compo­nent of the Prep machine, providing the best conditions to assist the school.

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

From simple issues such as e lim ina ting up and down stair­cases, to more com plex topics such as drafting a Prep Student Honor Code, to changing the lim­its of opportunity at Prep by intro­ducing new ac­tivities such as the Prep Factor,

Business Club, Independent Film Society, and Car Club, the council has always dedicated 110%. The council benefits everyone at Prep and resonates as the collective voice of the student body. Used properly, as in this past year, this voice of Prep men through the Student Council serves as a very powerful instrument.

Focusing on the meeting at hand, seniors Trea­surer Brian Malloy, Ryan Celchion, and Vishnu Nayak listen intently to fellow representatives.

This year, forty-seven distinguished Prep seniors received the honor of being inducted into the McNally-Sinnott Chap­ter of the National Honor Society. The NHS accepts se­niors who have demonstrated academic prowess, a com­mitment to service, leadership ability, and upstanding char­acter. The ideal of being a man for others rings true in the hearts of the NHS members.

Led by presidents Harry G o and Daniel Jamison, Secre- tary-Treasurer M ark Leonida, and under the guidance of Sr. Frances, OSF, the NHS has done much for Prep and the surrounding community. Members tutored struggling Prep underclassmen privately and made themselves available fo r help during after school study sessions insti­tuted by new Prin­cipal Mr. Kevin Cuddihy. During the holiday sea­son the NHS ran the school-wide a d o p t-a -fa m ily program in which an NHS subcom­mittee assigned each homeroom one of nine im­poverished families to support. The effort raised $2 ,270 in gift certificates and brought in over two hundred gifts of clothes, toys, and home decor sets for forty-one people. They also continued their support of a boy in poverty stricken Appalachia by supplying him with money that purchased Christmas and birthday gifts and school supplies. Truly a positive presence here at Prep, members of the NHS re­spond first to the needs of the school whether helping out at alumni reunions or providing a constructive example for the rest of the schools as they remain involved in a multitude of activities outside NHS. As senior Denis Eagan offered, "It was a real privilege to be part of an organization whose goal is to serve others before serving itself."

"It's wonderful to see so many of my peers have such a commitment to service," remarked senior Tim Maher: "I be­lieve that Prep truly does breed men of conscience, compe­tence, and compassion."

Prep's literary magazine, Paper and Pen, exhibits prose, poetry, and artwork done by Prep students throughout the school. Though a small group of fewer than ten students, the club meets biweekly to analyze and to select literary pieces fit for the magazine. The staff applies a rigorous standard in accepting literary works. Anyone can submit a short story, poem, or drawing to include in the book. Varied

in tone and sub­ject, from a som­ber perspective of rea lity to an amusing tale of fan tasy, Paper and Pen appeals to the d iffe rent tastes of the Prep community.

M oderated by M s. K arrie Rinder, the new­est co-moderator

of the club, and Ms. Rachel Wortman, the Paper and Pen staff consists of students from all years. W hile some writers may have previous creative writing experience, others may simply wish to learn how to develop into stronger, more accomplished writers. Both groups perceive writing as an enjoyable leisure activity rather than a burdensome chore. Through their compositions and critiques, they gain a more profound appreciation for literature.

Not all participants aspire to gain worldw ide recogni­tion for their work; instead, they seek to share their perspec­tives and visions with the entire Prep community. These Prep students work hard to publish a magazine of literary and artistic merit and to display the purest form of the soul Prep has to offer. From the vivid portraits to the written youthful expressions, the Paper and Pen allows the staff to continue St. Peter's tradition of and commitment to fine writing and literature.

Petroc editor-in- chief, senior Ben­jamin Yun discusses the quality o f ar­ticles with the ir writers.

A difficult challenge for a Prep student of any year pre­sents itself in keeping abreast o f the big events, numerous activities, and overall attitude of the community at school while managing his own schedule. Luckily The Petroc has maintained its long tradition of informing the community by following its motto "All the News W e Have, W e Print." M oderator Ms. Kaija DeWitt, together with Editor-in-Chief Ben Yun, receive support from seniors Managing Editor A lex Ju and Section Editor Steve Poon to create a more professional newspaper. Returning members juniors Ed­ward Cho and Ankur Patel help guide fellow staff members in writing and editing articles. But perhaps the best quality of this publication remains its ability to include students of all four years in writing, photography, and page design. All of these students work hard to think of topics, interview people, and write these informative articles. Layout spe­cialists also work late into the evenings before publishing a paper by pouring their hearts into their work and by trying to find the most aesthetic arrangement possible.

Published th ro u g h o u t the year, The Petroc covers all aspects of Prep life, con­ducts polls, and prin ts op in io n e d ito r ia ls in w h ich students discuss issues pertinent to the community. The renewed "M a n on the Street" fea­ture has becomea permanent fixture due to the efforts of senior Cecil Apostol. New elements this year include a fresher, yet more classi­cal page design, and The Petroc website which contains online editions of each Petroc issue. The Petroc staff also added a Restaurant Review feature to aid students in the eternal quest of finding good food at a reasonable price.

Unlike other publications, which come out once a year, The Petroc proves itself invaluable to all students, who re­ceive regular and fresh updates on Prep life. Without the Petroc, students would find it difficult to keep up with the fast-paced atmosphere. Thanks to the hard work of the en­tire Petroc team, everyone stays updated on Prep life.

A flame burns brightly in Burke Hall; the light of Am­nesty International. Amnesty International serves to edu­cate students on global issues of social justice. Prep's chap­ter of the international organization sheds light onto the shadows of injustice and violence around the world. Their weapon, the letter, may seem simple; however, this peace­ful protest presents a powerful match for forces of despo­tism and tyranny. Fired to countless leaders and govern­ments, the letters of the students cajole their recepeints to free political prisoners. From the communist regime in Myanmar to the civil war in Bosnia, Amnesty International commits itself to the struggle against these ruthless oppres­sions that continue to affect the world.

Moderated by Ms. M arie Curry and supported by a group of dedicated upperclassmen, Amnesty International meets about once a month to discuss and learn about issues concerning global human rights by following news­paper stories, watching movies, and listening to guest lec­turers. Senior M ike Downs explained, "It's not just a good

For five years, Prep's Model UN club has taken an active role in educating Prep men on international issues. Moder­ated by Mr. Paul Cunneen, Model UN has witnessed many victories. President Tom Leane teaches all the other members of the club, known as "the delegates," howto compete and to win awards. He not only checks all the position papers, but also reviews the debates until everyone feels confident about representing their country. For many years each March, Prep attends the Model UN conference held at Seton Hall.

This year, however, a second conference emerged that proffered another learning experience for the Prep students. This conference at Horace Mann High School presented an enlightening op­portunity for new­comers to ga in experience. This one-day confer­ence exposed the underclassm an and o ther new members to the M o d e l UN . In prepara tion for the Seton H a ll C o n fe r e n c e ,H orace M ann provided every­one a chance to speak in front of a crowd and to develop the ability to think quickly during a debate. As further prepara­tion for the Seton Hall conference, the Horace Mann conven­tion allowed participants a chance to get back into the habit of researching their countries.

W hile awaiting the list of countries Prep men will repre­sent, Mr. Cunneen had participants perform mock debates for practice. The two-day conference may get tiring, but with the proper preparation it allows students to enjoy themselves. Those who attend often speak of their positive experience. The club has become more than a place to practice debating international issues; it has become a place where friends meet, joke around, practice, and enjoy conferences. Every year a fair amount of students join the club, but this year's attendance marked the highest it reached since the inception of the club, indicating a productive and fun yearforthe Prep delegates, old and new.

They just cannot keep their mouths shut. Each day, shouts of confidence echo down the hall as a Fo- rensics team member practices into the late hours of the day. Many people may not know or understand what the team represents, embodying community and versatility. Forensics essentially branches into sepa­rate categories. Commensurate to the diversity of

In the spirit of their rivalry, students square off in one-on-one ar­guments on current events, trying to sell their point.

Foren­sics provides a forum for students to involve them­selves with Prep and to find a sense of team spirit, even though they do not claim membership to the traditional athletic teams.

Senior Steven Poon and junior Juan Cardenas co-captained this past year's Foresnics squad. As coaches diligently serving the team, Ms. Julie Meyer, Mrs. Gretchen Hovan, Mr. Sean McCann, S.J., and Mr. Matt Knittel each dedicated their time on week­days for practice and on weekends for tournaments.

T h in k B e f o r e k ®Moderated by Dr. Dominic Scibilia and Mr. John Dadas,

the Prep Chess Team has seen a lot of variety in their game. Every Tuesday and Thursday after school the team prac­ticed to improve their game and to prepare for the state tournaments. Dr. Scibilia opened his room every morning at 7:30 a.m. for the Chess Club, aspiring Chess Team hope­fuls for following years, and anyone interested in learning the game. The final squad emerged after three days of tournament-style tryouts, with winners moving up in the ranks until six board members and four alternates remained. Af­ter this selection occurred, the group began attending tour­naments to obtain experience in playing competitive chess.

Leading his team into the first tournament of the year at Brandise High School, Captain Federico Garcia sent fel­low members in the right direction. This tournament exposed many on the team to the reality of competition. Due to the closing of the Hudson County Chess League, the intellec­tual contenders went in search of mastering their skills in local and state tournaments. In addition to formal tourna­

ments, the Prep a rranged some friendly matches with longtime ri­va ls D ickinson and County Prep.

Ultimately, the thinkers worked toward the state tournament held at Rutgers Univer­sity, where they underwent vari­ous tests o f skill as a team and as

individuals. The two team practices per week established a solid foundation of basic fundamentals and enabled the improvement of strategies for veteran players and rookies. However, the various training routines and tournaments did not prevent the Chess Team from enjoying their game.

During a practice session, Mr. Pat Reidy writes out the solution to one o f the problems.

The Prep Math Team, currently the only academic club offered, allows students to sharpen their math skills outside of the classroom and receive recognition for their efforts. The Math Team competes four times a year in the Catholic High School Math League on both the Varsity and Junior V ars ity levels.Each round con­sists of taking a challenging forty- minute exam, test- ing concep ts taught in A lg e ­bra, G eom etry, and T rigo no m ­etry classes.

Senior Soumo Nandi remarked,"I enjoy being a m em ber o f the M ath Team be­cause it not only allows me to reinforce concepts I've learned over the years, but also it challenges me to answer ques­tions that require different approaches." Cleverly designed, the ten multiple-choice question examination awards ten points for a correct answer and deducts three points for a wrong answer. This aspect of the exam allows students to strategize for maximal achievement. The team scores con­sist of the top five scores in each division.

The moderator of the Math Team, Vice Principal Mr. Pat Reidy, conducts three informative review sessions for each level of the team before each round of competition. These lunchtime practices provide members an excellent oppor­tunity to answer problems from the past years' exams and to ask questions to clarify any confounding concepts. Mr. Reidy looks forward to top finishes by all of his students on every test. The continued success o f the math team reflects well upon the effectiveness of the Prep Math department.

In preparation fo r The Front Pag Mr. Chaz Crosby and freshmt Matthew Owen bring the 1920s ■ life on the set.

From mid-September until late April, no club works more on a daily basis than the Stage Crew. Led by Mr. Charles Crosby and senior Crew Chief Jason Ryglicki, the Stage Crew builds the set for both the winter drama and the spring musical. Through many long days, the crew must first agree on the structure and look of the set. After such decisions, they must then lay out their blueprints. After setting the plans the Stage Crew members travel to Home Depotto obtain necessary materials. Within the depths of Prep's basement, the workers create magnificent backdrops to comple­ment the wonderful talent of the actors and actresses. After the construction of the sets, the Stage Crew must transport all of the material to St. Peter's College and reassemble the scenery there.

This year's set for The Front Page production con­sisted of a press room that included a w indow, two functional doors, and a desk big enough to house any Prep student.

The Stage Crew continued their tra­dition of building great backgrounds this year. Junior Alex

Melendez commented, "The scenery isa result of the Stage Crew's remarkable abilities. It is truly a product of hard work and creativ­ity." Senior James Coe noted, "I have a tremendous amount of respectforthe Stage Crew. There was one night when Mr. Crosby, Jason Ryglicki, Dave Docherty, and Steve Erickson were at St. Peter's College staining the wood and building last minute pieces until eleven o'clock at night." In the end, the Stage Crew suc­ceeded in dazzling the audience with impressive sets true to the Roaring Twenties. One may only wonder what scenic master­pieces will augment the next production.

Another integral behind-the-scenes cocurricular, the Dance Com­mittee proved a valuable assetto the social lives of many Prepsters. Dedicated members of the committee provided the manpowerto successfully run and support one of the many dances. Taking on the tasks of setting up, collecting money, checking coats, and breaking down, the Dance Committee ensured that the night ran as smoothly as the moves performed on the floor.

n g O u tThis year brought forth the creation of the service orga­

nization known as Outreach. Piloted by Sr. Frances, OSF, this group has already accomplished much in the months since its inception. The group, dedicated to social justice, has served the poor in the soup kitchens and homeless shelters of Hoboken and New York City. Funded by the money collected during dress-downs, the expenses for numerous projects were easily covered due to the gener­osity o f Prep men.

During the Thanksgiving season over thirty students par­ticipated in a subway run that provided fifty lunches with gifts of winter gloves, socks, blankets, sweaters, coats, and scarves to the homeless on the street. The annual Bronx Christmas party provided twenty-five students of the St. Ignatius School with an afternoon of games, food, and gifts for an additional thirteen students including a $ 1,000 check for a field trip. In cooperation with the National Honor Society, Outreach members helped in the coordi­nation of the adopt-a-family campaign for impoverished fam ilies during the holidays. Fol­low ing another subw ay run in Janua ry , the Youth Serv ice O p p o r tu n it ie s Project allowed a group of Prep stu­dents to partic i­pate in a week­end of volunteer­ing in New York.In April, the Out­reach members organized more visits to the Hoboken Shelter, a thirty-hour famine, and an immersion trip to Camden, NJ.

"The strong influence of our organization has positively affected the lives of many people. The service projects we have engaged temporarily satisfy that hunger for justice instilled in all Prep men. W e realize that we may not be ending poverty or hunger, but at least we re doing some­thing about it,” remarked Outreach President Cecil Apostol. Through the compassion and generosity of its members, Outreach has significantly impacted the community sur­rounding Prep.

W ith its moderator, Mr. Paul Cunneen and President Se­nior James Coe, the History Club sponsored events such as movies, including Gangs o f New York, The Ruffles, and Glory among others; however, the History Club's annual fundraiser, Teacher Survivor, remains its most well-known event. Every year, the History Club meets, sets a date dur­ing the mission drive, and revises the rules. In addition, the club must come up with more questions and more enter­taining stipulations. Originated by Jack Diffley '0 2 and N ick Brady '02 and carried on by seniors Lester Redfield and James Coe, the Teacher Survivor has endured contin­ued success. Last year's prize amounted to over $ 100 for the winning teacher, Mr. Bob McDermott.

In addition to the Teacher Survivor, the Annual Student History Bee also provides funds for the History Club in an entertaining and educational manner. Students partake in a competition answering questions from different time pe­riods in history. Mike Jiran '03 took first place, with second

p lace go ing to Tim Chester '03 . The History Club has g ro w n no­t ic e a b ly in the past few years w ith new mem­bers joining fre­quently.

Senior James Coe remarked, "I love this club. All the guys rea lly enjoy being here and it is a fun ex­

perience for everyone. Working with the great leadership of Mr. Cunneen has been great, and he has truly made it a hand s on experience for everybody. I just hope that in the future, the president and vice-president have as much fun and do as much, if not more than Lester and I d id.9

During one o f the many Classics Club events, sopho­mores A.J. Vecellio, Andrew Anderson, Ray Smith, and jun­io r Wesner Jules watch Roman epi­sodes o f the Simpsons, including "Homer's Odyssey."

In Classic Club Mod­erator Katherine L o c h b ru n n e r 's room, sophomores Pat Comey and Andrew Anderson work on their clas­sical languages.

On the heels of its inaugural year, the Classics Club continued its growth as a vital asset amongst Prep's cul­tural clubs. Last year, due to the lack of student officers, the Classics Club did not meet their high expectations. How­ever, this year the officers exemplified loyalty and enthusi­asm to help the group join the ranks of the other cultural clubs. Led by moderators Ms. Kristine Spano and Ms. Katherine Lochbrunner, junior President Wesner Jules, sophomore Vice President Patrick C om ey and sophomore Sec­retary Valentino Mills, this collec­tion of students cam e tog e the r with a high inter­est in advancing their knowledge of ancient Greece and Rome.

Since they fo­cus on ancient Rome, the Classics Club had no way of connecting as directly to the study of the culture, unlike the other cultural clubs. However, they find innovative and in­teresting methods to connect to ancient Rome in today's world. Many movies and television shows have been made featuring or are based around ancient Rome. Taking ad­vantage of this media, the Classics Club has displayed some of these films such as A Funny Thing Happened on the W ay to the Forum, Caesar, and they planned a trip to see Troy when it debuted. The popularity of the Simpsons has influenced the decision to present an episode featuring "Homer's Odyssey." A cult classic, M onty Python and the Holy Grail, also remained in the works for several presenta­tions o f different clips.

One of the more underrated cultural clubs at Prep, the Classics Club always enjoyed their meetings, and have accomplished a great deal since puella sub arbore sedet.

In the early hours o f the morning, some students stay in the cafe sleeping or cramming for a test. Some students just arrive to Prep, and some students are just waking up. As time approaches 7:30 a.m., the Madonna Chapel slowly comes alive, and some students open the day with prayer.

W hile it perhaps may not garner attention as a notableactivity at Prep, the Christian Life Com m unity, or CLC, up lifts its members though scripture reflec­tion and medita­tion. Few in num­ber but strong in faith in CLC's fifth year, freshmen and sophomores g a th e r in the Chapel on Tues­days and juniors

and seniors meet on Wednesdays after the daily 7:30 a.m. mass. Joined by Mr. Jon Dwyer, Ms. Kaija DeWitt, and Fr. Mike Hoag, SJ., the group forms a circle around a candle. As the shadows dance around the gathered, members share reflections on the day's readings from their own experi­ences, creating a forum of relief and community for them­selves and their fellow members. W ith members of CLC starting the trend of writing the sermon for the mass preced­ing the meeting, the opportunity to mature to faith and to develop its expression grew this year.

Although few students know about the Christian Life Com­munity, those who belong truly benefit from the intimate sharing. Many students, whether freshmen searching for a niche or a place to belong, or seniors looking for one last chance to leave a spiritual and emotional impression on their peers and teachers, can benefit from exploring the spirituality of others and the spirituality within.

The SADD Club continues its strong tradition at Prep. Starting off the year, SADD participated in a Hudson County songwriting contest that promoted a strong anti-drug theme. O ut of the total six songs entered for consideration, only one song, written by seniors Nick Fargo, Wesley Ingraham, and Karl Osenenko, ultimately won the chance to compete in Hudson County. In addition to the contest, SADD spon­sored an ice skating trip to Chelsea Piers in NYC. "It was a lot of fun, and learning how to stop was an experience I will never forget," remarked sophomore A J. Vecellio. "SADD did an awesome job in offering this outing."

Senior President Joe Laverty, junior Vice President Ed­ward Cho, senior Secretary Neal Santos, and seniorTrea- surer Benjamin Yun spent every Tuesday morning planning upcoming events and meetings. On Wednesday afternoons, the entire SADD Club met to create banners and signs to promote anti-destructive messages for the Prep hallways.

The newly instituted E.N.D. program provided a new goal for the group to achieve. This program assists stu­dents who need support in quit­ting their smoking habit. Counselors cam e du rin g lunch periods to have a total of eight sessions to help improve the lives of students who smoke.

Senior Neal Santos reflected,"W e did a lot of w o rk this yea rand we have plenty to look forward to. I think we did a great job and that we should be proud of our efforts." Indeed, Santos helped arrange many of the SADD events, including the joint event with the Indpendent Film Society, at which the groups viewed Blow, a movie that shows the underpinnings of drug abuse in society. Surely, this and other events give SADD something in which to take pride.

Senior Joe Laverty explains the needs o f SADD fo r the E.N.D. program and fo r the ir reading and reflection at a morning prayer.

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

W hile the intensity resonated inside, the fragrance ofhot dogs and hamburgers signi­fied the weekly tailgates before fo o tb a ll games and other such activities. Led by sen io r Lester Redfield and the s in c e - r e t i r e d pu rp le D odge Caravan, the Tail­gate Committee took the tradition of fellowship to a

new level, and thanks to the cooperation o f the entire Prep community, the gatherings resulted in a huge success.

Prep looks forward to a bright future in the years to come. Aside from the motivation and support provided by the Committee, the year has more importantly succeeded in providing an entertaining experience for all in the Prep community and beyond.

During one school day recess in October, juniors Donald Delaon and James Vardakis discussed their interests in in­dependent film and the lack of adequate venues for cinephiles such as themselves in Jersey City. As an avid fan of films, Moderator Mr. David Muir encouraged the juniors to petition the Student Council for an independent film club, and the Independent Film Society was born. The IFS de­sired to promote and encourage interesting and intellec­tual discussions about the challenging and oft-overlooked issues suggested by independent filmmakers of today.

The IFS began their look into modern indie flicks with Sofia Coppolla's "Virgin Suicides," a haunting tail of

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

In preparation for their duties as Special Ministers of the Eucharist, the group of seniors made a day long retreat over the summer. At the beginning of the school year, Prep's Eucharistic Ministers receive recognition during the Mass of the Holy Spirit and serve the bread and wine at the remainder of Prep's services.

In addition to their involvement within church, the Eucha­ristic M in isters attempted to sup­port Prep's faith com m unity in severa l o ther ways. Led by Mr. Tom Murphy and M r. M a tt G ree ley , th is year's group has continued to ex­hibit a presence at the Tuesday and Thursday morning "Prayer

for Peace" gatherings. Reflecting on their lives, sharing their feelings, and inviting others to include their own unique prayers have made the prayer sessions popular and suc­cessful. Also, led by Fr. Azzarto, SJ., the Special Ministers of the Eucharist assisted in settihg up the gym prior to mass and led the freshman on their day of retreat.

They stood in the background at Emmaus homecom­ings. They led the Prep community in the Morning Prayer services. They represented the budding and earnest spiritu­ality that defines the character of a Grand and Warren student, teacher, parent and administrator. Under the du­ties granted to them, these young men infused the atmo­sphere at the Prep with ideals of morality and service. They belonged to the Special Ministers of the Eucharist.

As long as the Prayers for Peace continue and the people of Prep remain hungry and thirsty in spirit, the Eucharistic Ministers offer food and drink in solidarity with their peers.

While preparing dinner, senior team leaders Chris Dilley and Eric Clemente successfully oper­ate a can opener.

Monday afternoon, the sun begins to bow for the night and the scrape of chairs and tables echo from behind the Madonna Chapel's closed doors. A number of seniors and juniors huddle in the lobby, in the cafeteria, in the courtyard, anticipating the return of their brothers. Dedication, commitment, fellowship, and selflessness all name attributes found within the Emmaus Team. Devoting many of their hours to the team may seem a heavy load to others but the members of the team would gladly contribute more of themselves for the love they have to the activity.

It all begins in junior year when these men take part in their own Emmaus retreat. Although they return home, beaming smiles and proudly flashing their crosses, the road to Emmaus seems like an incomplete task. The feelings experienced on the retreat lead these men to search for further fulfillment. The Emmaus Team provides their opportunity to complete the full circle; the chance to take part and experience another retreat is readily available. Many of these men spent the weeks leading up to this event gathering materials, preparing talks, and raising spirits for the upcoming weekend, where a new group of students are welcomed to the community in the experience of Emmaus.

Taken a few days before the beginning of the school year, the team retreat presents the first challenge for the Emmaus Team. Working off the rust of summer jobs and disorientation with each other, the group of leaders gathers together for preparation, antici­pating the miracles of the coming year.Then throughout the school year as the time for each Emmaus retreat arrives, Fr.Azzarto, SJ. chooses four seniors from the team to lead the jun­iors on the retreat. The job of a team leader plays an integral role in making the weekend a tremendous experience for the juniors, from directing them through the retreat house to guiding them on a spiritual and personal journey.

Senior Mark Leonida, a team leader on Emmaus 201, put it best: "M y first Emmaus affected my life spiritually, socially, and emotionally. After that initial experience I really felt the need to travel the road again as a team leader and to guide the juniors on such a powerful journey.* As an Emmaus Team Leader, the jour­ney ends too soon, but they complete their job. The torch contin­ues on through time, and the chairs continue their scraping on

Monday afternoons.

Enjoying some free time, senior Mike Dounis, John Kohn, Brian McGrath, and Brendan Whitford pose for a picture.

This year marked a new and exciting year for the Prep TV Studio. Headed by junior Chris Keating, sophomore Colin Gallo and moderated by the always energetic, guidance proffering Mr. James DeAngelo, the organization sought to achieve loftier heights than those made in past years. Indeed, the group proved their value to the school by supplying the annual amusing Christ­mas video at the winter mass. In addition, the TV studio contrib­uted the movie that allowed Prep students to acquire an engag­ing look into Prep's own missionary work throughout the world. The production focused on the contributions of faculty mem­bers such as Ms. Kaija DeWitt, who taught Micronesian chil­dren, and Mr. Matthew Greeley who worked in the poor rural areas of Peru.

However, the studio embodies more than just a servant ofthe student body. It offers a unique outlet for the cre­ativity of a section of it members. "To translate the writ­ten into the v i­sua l," says M r. DeAngelo, " ind i­cates an inva lu ­able experience, necessary to the school." Although portrayed often, the a rtis tic side should not stand as

the sole area of concentration; one should not underestimate the hard work put into the mechanical aspect. For each minute of footage viewed, members of the hard working TV studio have donated over one hour of work editing. The future of Prep's filmmakers appears dazzling, with enormous hopes of organizing a film festival. Nonetheless, other undertakings less obvious to the entire student body remain. Distributed for the first time this year, the studio's recruiting video has provided a valuable asset to Prep's Office of Admissions. With other projects currently in the works, the TV Studio continues to provide an audio/visual representation of the Prep.

Under the guidance of Ms. Patter Hellstrom, the Art Club has returned for another year of eye-pleasing creations. Meet­ing after school and during various frees throughout the year, the members of this illustrious club are responsible for adorning Prep walls from Burke to the Humanities Building with their scupltures, paintings and drawings. An extention of Prep art classes, this club makes annual trip to musuems like the Metro­politan Museum of Art in the NYC cultural mecca.

youth gains the opportunity to experience St. Peter's Prep firsthand. In the 39 ,h year since its inception, the program thrives under the directorship of Mr. John Irvine. The Higher Achievement Program (HAP) combines an unparalleled so­cial atmosphere with a rigorous academic curriculum. Rather than wasting a summer vacation, seventh graders prepare for the challenges of eighth grade and high school.

Similar to Prep, HAP promotes a strong sense of com­munity while building character. In the classroom, the stu­dents function as classmates; on the athletic field, they be­come teammates in various sports. The list of sports in­cludes basketball, soccer, dodgeball, and others. Through teamwork, each young man learns how to develop into a man for and with others. However, the ferocity of competi­tion brings out the inner scholar and athlete of every HAP student. The intense competition ranges from writing the best creative piece in English class to overcoming McCabe's undefeated soccer team.

Several kind- hearted Prepsters d e d ica te the ir . ,11-summers to serv­ing as HAP tutors.These tutors pro­vide a dimension o f gu id ance unique to the pro­gram. This allows the HAP partici­pants to relate to

. . . The wind-up, the pitch, and he's out!and learn tromyoung people ofthe same interests and hardships.

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

In this technologically dependent society, possessing knowledge of computers becomes increasingly vital with each day. The Computer Club offered Prep students an opportunity to learn and discuss issues regarding comput­ers and technology in general. The organization, in con­junction with the computer classes offered at Prep, edu­cate students about all facets of computers and computer usage. Moderated for the fourth year by computer science teacher Ms. Ella Glazer, the organization met throughout the school year to plan various events. Returning members included seniors President Steven Poon and Vice-President Beda Pormentilla, who coordinated several field trips to visit computer shows and to watch movies such as The M atrix and the other films in the trilogy.

Incorporating suggestions from members and using ideas from previous years, the Computer Club continued to improve and expand. Members planned to set up a Computer Club website accessible to all students. This page would serve primarily as a bulletin for upcoming

events. The pos­sibility of estab­lishing a gaming network has also emerged as an undertaking of the club during the course of the year. A lthough both projects re­m ained under construction, the group has set the founda tion fo r many future tech-

The student body mills around while Mr. Dave Bailey an­nounces the prize winners.

Both Mr. Dave Donnelly and Mr. Jim Dondero re ­ward themselves fo r completing the Walk-a-thon by en­joying some fine Prep cuisine.

No rain, no problems, just the Walk-a-thon. Walk-a-thon 2002 can be remembered for the torrential downpour that threatened to ruin the day. However, the 2003 counterpart faced no such menace. Instead, it was justa fun and enjoyable day.

The day started with a summoning of homerooms to the court­yard. While all four years gathered, anxiously awaiting the com­mencement of the day's activities, the Marauder and his Hench­men appeared on the roof of the Humanities Building. From there, they called the entire Prep Community to attention with the sight of the Prep flag waving in the wind. When they held the attention of all the Prepsters, they led everyone in a rousing combined effort of the "Ave." Soon after, the walk began.

Upon the return of the students from the 50minute walk, the aroma of food grilled by Prep's own chefs (or, rather, the faculty) tempted the hungry walkers. While the Prep community en­joyed their food, a DJ played music in the background.After everyone atethe entertainment began. An illusionist and a hypnotist wowed, puzzled and bemused the Prep crowd. The hypnotist stole the show for the day. Using five Prep students as subjects, he manipu­lated them into performing wholesomely humorous deeds. Over­all, the entertainment, though different from previous years, proved absolutely outstanding.

After the entertainment shows, Mr. Dave Bailey '95, the orga­nizer of the Walk-a-thon, held a random drawing to determine the winners of the prizes. The prize for each class included a 32-inch television. In return for raising the most money in the school, senior Jeremiah Palmeri won a video game system of his choice. After completing these drawings, a final drawing was held to deter­mine the overall winner of the "grand prize." Each Prepster re­ceived a drawing ticket for each $50 raised. The winner of the 40- inch plasma television turned out to be Palmeri, which seemed fitting for the student who raised the most money. The big winner of the day turned out to be Prep itself, garnering over $85,000.

The year 1977 brought forth many new cultural phenomena; among them included "Dancing Queen" by ABBA, the last episode of the M ary Tyler Moore show, and the line "W hich Doobie you be?" However, perhaps the phenomenon with the most longevity has been Star Wars, the six-episode movie series that began in 1977 with Episode IV: A New Hope. Five years ago, when this year's seniors finished 8th grade, Jon Cordova '03 founded the Star Wars Club under the moderation of Mr. Michael Gomez. Since Mr. Gomez's departure from the Prep last year, Mr. M att Greeley has served as moderator.

The Star Wars Club has been noticeable to non­members with the announcements re g a rd in g the postponem ents of the "W ookie s h a v i n g s , " "B o w lin g w ith Jaw as," and a lecture by guest speaker, Yoda. H o w eve r, the club is much more than ca tchy announcements. Says Mr. Greeley,

the Star Wars Club exists to "give an outlet to guy? who are science-fiction fans...it gives [them] a chance to stretch [their] minds and to look at things in different ways." Certainly, this fact has been evident by the events the Star W ars Club has sponsored, such as trips to see several science-fiction movies and round upon round of laser tag. The members of the club even assist with the mission drive by sponsoring such events as video game tournaments (in fact, this year's newly-incepted Video Game Club was a spin-off of the Star Wars Club's tournaments) and Star Wars trivia games pitting members with other Prep students.

Says Mr. Greeley, "W e're just an easy-going group that provides a community for guys that may not be in so many other activities. The entire series is based on the fight between good and evil, the Force versus the dark side. I just hope that some of the things we do help us to fight the dark side as often as possible."

The members o f Prep Factor, includ­ing juniors Dan Hazard and Chuck Comprelli, senior Chris Rosario, Jun­ior Caesar Imperio, senior Aman Aziz, and jun io r Nick Sasso, prepare for a heated debate on the assault weap­ons ban.

Prep Factor has risen up as a new addition to Prep's list of clubs and activities. The club raises social and political awareness about various issues of local, national, and in­ternational concern by providing a forum for students to discuss and debate many topics and potential solutions to these important ideas. Seniors Pete O neglia , Mike Kadian, and John Greco came up with a rough idea for the group, and approached Mr. Dom "Doc" Scibilia to discuss the idea for such a forum. Dr. Scibilia thought positively about the idea and decided to moderate Prep Factor. The Stu­dent Council unanimously approved the group.

The Prep Factor hosted several different functions throughout the course of the year. During a typical meeting of the Prep Factor, discussions arose about various politi­cal issues, such as the upcoming 2 0 04 presidential elec­tion, the strengths and weaknesses of various forms of gov­ernment, and Internet piracy. The group took a field trip to see a live debate at Columbia University, they have posted flyers around the school for the Hunger Site, and have pre­sented such films as Bowling For C o lum b ine to raise awareness o f the g row ing concern of teen­age gun violence in school.

Spreading so­cial and political aw areness re­mains a relevant and s ign ifican t focus fo r youth because these is­sues affect all people. If the youth of today do not directly feel affected by these issues, certainly they may in the fu­ture. Learning about the different problems in society, and discussing political issues, benefits everyone, as they can empower themselves to help solve these problems and thus become better and more productive members of society.

Get In a 3 EKThe impact of the automobile has significantly influenced

society in many aspects. A major area affected by Henry Ford's remarkable invention, high school provides an arena for the average adolescent male's fascination with cars. Demonstrating Prep's openness to new activities, the ad­vent of the Car Club offered a meeting place for these auto aficionados.

An interest in technology mixed with a combination of testosterone and adrenaline fuel the intense passion Prep men have for four-wheeled vehicles. Under the guidance of Ms. Karrie Rinder, the Car Club has displayed tremendous potential in becoming a great organization focused on automotive issues. Sharing common interests in speed and mechanics, senior co-founders and presidents M ichael Muzyczyn and Michael Cartwright envisioned a forum to express these sentiments with the student body. Upon in­duction to the Car Club, members enjoyed subscriptions to various automotive magazines. Throughout the year, they embarked on excursions to watch Starsky and Hutch and to

v is it the N e w York Auto Show, as well as the In­ternational Auto Show. In coordi­nation with the mission drive, the Car Club sold T- shirts and stickers designed specifi­cally for their or­gan iza tion . A l­ready establish­ing its influence upon the entire

community, Prep's Car Club has shown tremendous prom­ise as a rising extra-curricular activity.

Senior co-founder and president, M ichael Cartwright stated, "I thought that Prep would really benefit from a Car Club. Ever since The Fast and the Furious came out, every­one thinks they're Vin Diesel. I supposed that with Ms. Rinder's help, we could have a lot of fun. Our trips to mov­ies and car shows were great, and I believe we learned a lot about the effects of the automobile on our society. I hope that the Car Club continues to thrive at Prep, as I trust Ms. Rinder to proctor it well. Now let's ridel"

Glued to the tele­vision screen, freshman gamers Gene Martorony and Mike Giunta, as well as sophomores Tchaz Amevor and Dave Ogega, and senior Sergio Murolo, watch the infamous Goku ka­rate chop by the evil Vegeta in the Budokai 2 game.

Whether seen in a Soul Calibur battle down to the last round or a Madden football game down with five seconds to go and the score at a deadlock, the Video Game Club provided several thrilling moments during the year. At the beginning of the year, students often wondered which video game merited the title of greatest video game of all time; they also desired to know abou t the new or fresh video game arriv­als on the scene.

Ultimately, the lo n g in g fo r a Video Game club magnified. Junior Mike DeAngelis, along with junior Steve P orce lli, decided to meet the g ro w in g needs of video game fanatics by creating this fantastical and full-out participatory club. They reached out to Mr. David Bailey to moderate the ambitious new club.

Enthusiastically, Mr. Bailey agreed and the club sparked into operation. The club began with a SSX 3 tournament, and at the conclusion, Mr. Bailey showed off his old school Super M ario skills. Tournaments continued with highly an­ticipated games such as Soul Caliber 2, Madden 2004 and Super Smash Brothers Melee. The Video Game Club has held many successful events, and with each event, the number of participants and curious onlookers noticeably increased as word spread of the club.

The most successful video game event, the Super Smash Brother Melee tournament, marked a great achievement. About 25 teams formed, demonstrating that the Video Game Club meets a great need among students. Surely, the button smashing will continue.

"Spreading the Shadow o f St. Peter beyond Grand and Warren"

Outside of Prep, community embodies a broad meaning for a collection of people. However, confining commu­nity at St. Peter's to this defi­nition does little justice to the word in the context of Prep and its community. The com­plexity of community encom­passes the long-standing tra­dition of brotherhood, the openness to growth, and the Jesuit ideal of "being a man for and with others," a part of every Prep student's vo­cabulary. The Prep commu­nity shapes the lives of ev­ery member by implanting a deep sense of camarade­rie and values found only un­

der the shadow of St. Peter. Encouraging a stronger faith life, gatherings such as Masses and retreats bring the student body closer to­gether to share as one body, one family. M any can see community in action at the Emmaus Homecomings, on the many Christian Service projects, and in the atten­dance at sporting events. In the lyrics of a well-known Prep hymn, "W e are sisters and brothers, though we of­ten forget." Thankfully, the Prep community constantly reminds its members of the importance of such a univer­sal concept.

To display the ir support fo r PrePA amalgamate o f students, faculty, fan and friends flood the stands at the sl\ down against Don Bosco.

On his immersion trip in Cincinatti, junior Chris Keating prepares a hot meal over the stove.

A key element in the develop­ment o f a Prep man for others, the Christian Service program provides a practical application of social justice commensurate to the course found in the junior curriculum. O bli­gated to fulfill a minimum of 60 community service hours, juniors have the opportunity to complete their required service amount in a variety of ways: juniors may par­ticipate in one of the many summer immersion trips, they may tutor dur­ing the school year, or they may volunteer at any of several commu­nity service organizations.

This past summer Prep juniors traveled on nine different immersion

trips including three new opportu­nities: assisting at Nazareth Farm in West Virginia, aiding the Bethany Youth in Frenchwell, Pennsylvania, and helping with the Franciscans of the Poor in Cincinnati. Forming close relationships with teachers and fellow students on immersion trips and interacting with those less fortunate really opened many stu­dents' eyes to the unfortunate con­ditions of modern society. As a stimu­lus for the maturation of a Prep man, the experiences of assisting the poor and those m arginalized in society hopefully act as a spring­board to further service work done independently or with Outreach, the service group moderated by Sr.

Frances, OSF, who also heads th Christian Service program.

Sr. Frances organizes the mee ings for those completing their ri quired amount of service, whic normally exceeds the standard 60 hours. She also collects journa in which the juniors wrote, in ord to reflect upon their experieno Affected by their Christian servio many juniors share their experieno in a positive light.

Prep German exchangers take a brief C pause from the endless procession o f E guided tours in Germany. Cl

On July 5 th, 20 Prep students left >ehind theirfam iliar life in N ew je r- :ey to experience life in Germany, "hey had preconceptions of their ravels ahead; however, what they gained far exceeded their original expectations. Led by M r. James DeAngelo and Ms. M arie Curry, the lenth German Exchange allowed 20 Prep students to "see past the ends bf their noses," as phrased by Ger­man exchange leader Herr Kremer.

Entering the capital city of Ber- in, the 19 underclassmen and one senior immediately sensed the his­torical aspect of the city, which at­tracted them and sparked their curi­osity. This theme would continue to permeate the experience of the par-

stay in the big city. They enjoyed the guided tour of the Reichstag, cross­ing the Brandenburg gate, climbing the Siegeaule, and trekking along the remnants of the infamous Berlin W all. O f course, the students also learned about history through visit­ing institutions such as the Jewish and Stasi museums.

But the full reality of actually re­siding in a foreign land, thousands of miles from home did not impact the students until they traveled to their exchange families in Schleiden. Exchange participant senior W ill Pak remarked, "The scariest moment of the exchange was when I entered their house. I realized that I was the only one for miles who spoke En­

glish, and my German just isn't that good." This move from using Ger­man in America to speaking Ger­man in Deutschland challenged the students to new heights. Though frightful at first, immersing them­selves in a completely alien culture not only greatly helped the students' linguistic abilities, but also assisted in developing friendships with their exchange partners. Simply put by senior M ike Cartwright, "Germans were the coolest people I've met."

The atmosphere of friendship that everyone shared from the beginning continued until the final goodbye. However, this air benefited from a sense of newly formed appreciation and a reluctance to leave.

Jersey and Staten Island to be intro­duced to the spiritual exercises. These days set a foundation for what many students consider the best moments of their Prep experience: the revered multi-day overnight Emmaus retreat for juniors. Most jun­iors share in this spirtiually uplifting occasion with fellow classmates, and culminate their experience in the M onday night Homecoming.

Seniors who voluntarily wish to retreat have their own event in the early spring of each year at a re­treat house in Staten Island. At the retreat, seniors discuss their Prep careers and any anxieties over leav­ing Prep. Students who wish to have additional opportunities to reflect

with members of other years leave on the Nature and Silent treats, both of which put students i touch with God and their ity, whether through their mind through the splendor of nature.

As a Jesuit high school, St. Peter' Prep also offers unique opportun ties for parents and strong male female role models to express them­selves to the young men of this insti­tution on weekend retreats in th cafeteria. Although "seeing God in all things" may be a haughty goal toward which to strive for many people, most of those who go on d retreat at least benefit from the time! off from this hectic world.y Juniors Brian Serzan and Sean Wilson >

RICEY PRETHE CAMPUS I

Under the guidance and supervi­sion of Prep alumnus and M ath teacher, Mr. James Hollywood, the campus store has vastly expanded and improved its service and contri­butions to the Prep community. To augment the current Student line, he has added three new lines of cloth­ing: Youth, Alumni, and Parent. In order to diversify the current selec­tion of clothing available, new types of sweaters, t-shirts, and jackets have recently lined the walls of the cam­pus shop, and students have con­tributed to the design o f new Prep apparel and paraphernalia. Stu­dents and faculty may make in­

school purchases both before and after school, and during recess. Sea­sonal sales on selected items attract many to buy goods.

Mr. Hollywood has made much- needed changes to the campus shop by introducing storage bins that help to organize apparel and items by color and size.

Several students and faculty, as well as Mr. Hollywood's wife, have completely reorganized, as well as modernized the store and its items, new and old, to make counting the inventory easier and to ensure the realization of the new campus shop website. Available through Prep's main website, the online campus

store allows any willing patron to purchase Prep merchandise within the comfort of their home. To even further expand the store, new offer­ings such as golf items, cups, and alumni gifts remain in stock, avail­able for purchase.

Senior Andres Escobar, and freshmen Walter Stacey and Bobby Cole, as well as staff members Mrs. N ancy Cunningham and Mrs. Janice Martineau, assist Mr. Hol­lyw ood in running the campus store.

Coordinator o f intramurals, Mr. Brian McCabe referees one o f the season's basketball games with a watchful eye.

I H H

An activity not seen at Prep in nearly a decade, Intramurals has returned this year under the influence of Mr. Brian McCabe. Certainly, in­tramural games occur at Prep every year, but this official league revived by Mr. M cCabe has not existed since the early 1990s when he at­tended Prep as a student.

Everyday during either one of the lunch period, homerooms of a par­ticular year square off in a basket­ball game. Each class made up its own division with a distinct title: the Peterson division for freshman, the Raslowsky division for sophomores, the Gomez division for juniors, and

the Harrison division for seniors. Division champions and a subse­quent final four tournament cham­pion surfaced in the beginning of March. After a short break from the basketball season, other sports con­cluded the year. Juniors Caesar Im- perio and Alex Canale assisted Mr. McCabe in this breakout year.

Mr. McCabe expected the fun and camaraderie generated by the games; however, he greatly appre­ciated the pleasant surprise of the fan support each lunch period. At times, up to 60 students from differ­ent homerooms and years have at­tended the events with chants, signs, and costumes in a similar fashion to

the Prep support for varsity tearrl Enthusiastic participants have d l signed T-shirts for their homeroom! complete with graphics and c a tc fl team names and slogans. S ever! faculty members also come d u rir l lunch in support of their homeroo™ Although geared for all students I Prep, the juniors, in particular, ha taken the leadership with the full pi ticipation of every homeroom, trend that Mr. McCabe hopes w l continue into their senior year.

Considering the enthusiasm participants and onlookers alike, tl previously defunct intramurals ha a long future ahead of them.

"The Culmination o f Four Enlightening Years"

Everything casts a shadow. At St. Peter's Preparatory School, the shadows of its people remain long after they have left Grand and Warren-ghosts of tradition and history. Every shadow drifts through the minds and hearts of those still wander­ing the halls. Each shadow possesses its own g ift of uniqueness, and the Class of 2 0 04 remains true to this legend. Through their lead­ership and initiative, Prep has become a better place. Precedents have been set on the classroom, on the field, and in the school's human­ity, creating a desire to strive for a better tom orrow as these seniors have. W ith a

new figurehead, new fac­ulty, and a new generation of young men joining the Marauder family, the Class of 2 0 04 stepped up far be­yond the expectations of teachers and peers to pro­v ide the atm osphere o f warmth and compassion that defines a "M an for Oth­ers." W ith changes in lead­ership, the national mental­ity, the glorious skyline, and the future, the final images o f this senior class have evolved into one of service, dedication, and love for what St. Peter's Prep has rep­resented for the duration of more than a century, and the shadow they cast w ill al­ways remain true.

"His endeavors have not gone unnoticed in this school. In his junior year, the Prep community bestowed him with the prolific Spirit Award. Not many students can boast winning such an honor in his third year. Yet, TIM

MAHER displays such humility that one could easily forget the achieve­ments o f someone who embodies Prep's ideal man. His academic excel­lence is rewarded each year with honor pins, honor cards, G old medals in Latin II, and Silver medals in Physics and Religion 111. In athletics, he brings consistency and leadership to the soccer and lacrosse teams. His spiritual strength can be measured in his service as a Eucharistic Minister. Tim's friendly demeanor can be felt through both his laughter and words of encouragement. Both in and out of the classroom, he offers so much to all aspects of the Prep. I believe that he truly embodies a person of intelli­gence, activity, and spirit, the markings of the ideal Prep man.'

" When STEVEN Poon won his Spirit Award I thought to myself, there couldn't have been a more deserving person. So much spirit, so much drive, so much life in his voice exists in his powerful presence. From what I know, he's attended just about every Prep game possible. Not only is he a great repre­sentation of Prep, but he is also a great friend. Poon cares so much for his friends. He's always available, always kind, and always willing to lend a helping hand. There really is no greater person than he.''

SU N G has always held my respect. Through our advanced English classes of Gomez, Sir, and Peters, he has displayed his intellectual capabilities and realized some of his limitless potential, His unquestionable effort on the basketball court complements his academic achievements. I remember watching one game during sophomore year when he came off the bench and just lit up the other team for at least three 3-pointers in a row. His stroke is so pure, and that day he reminded me of Reggie M iller against the Knicks during their glory days with Patrick Ewing. After going on the Emmaus Team Retreat with him and leading Emmaus 201 alongside him, I have seen the depths of his character and found a greater appreciation for an amazing individual."

H Prep in 2004 , the still conscience and the vibrant soul of our M arauder identity screams from a summit of adolescent humanity, brightened by the spirit of teachers, of family, and of friends. All heavy and dark but possessing different textures and sizes, the hadows we cast upon the world complement the ,ght radiating from the hallowed halls of St. Peter's

other, overlapping our influences and touching r lives in the darkness.

(continued from page 180)

Freshmen emerge from the shadows a wiser group, a shell of the motley crew of new faces beginning to shine their lights in the tunnel that defines the high school years. Sophomores burst out from the darkness, eager to assume roles as upperclassmen and looking forward to Christian service, the junior prom, driving tests, and the community of Emmaus. Juniors climb to the top of the Prep mountain, assuming the torch-bearing roles o f their predecessors, the time to cast the biggest shadow over their teachers and peers finally arriving. And after four years—difficult, fun, and altogether too short—the 2004 senior class of St. Peter's finally can take to the skies, the shadows from their wings always carrying a part of Prep's light with them.

Small in size yet enormous in spirit, St. Peter's Prep has existed for 132 years. Now the 133rd year can be etched in the hearts of us all, illuminated by the light we have provided for each other. From "under the shadow of Peter" we have come.

started out as a “ beautiful thing," after we finished clean­ing the Pub Room for the past one and a half years of work. But after meaningless meetings and distributing the yearbooks in a shopping cart like fools, we sat down to start our first project, the supplement. Despite lacking the proper guidance, we held our own (and Mr. Collins's keys). Consuming our time in a place that became second to our own homes, we grew together, Raj, Soumo, even Ben, Mark, Cecil, Neal, and Dan, as the people that would revive a lost element in our school. Although nature locked us into the Pub, so that we couldn't even kick our way out, Sister saved us. Not nine months later did we choose to be sealed from the outside world, with our new brother Dave.

Now as we revisit the cloth of the tapestry of our Odyssey, following the threads of technical mayhem, dying the patterns of breaks for hallway games and take-out food, and weaving the emotional baggage from other activities, classes, friends, and families, each one of us could not do enough, and yet we could not have done any more. N ow surprised and awe-struck, who would have forseen all that the Petrean and Prep would have done for us? Not always going home with the best of attitudes or mindsets, we became stewards of the school, and a bigger, sig­nificant part of the whole community, at subway runs, Homecom­ings, concerts, and sporting events. W e lent our half-days, our weekends, ourselves, and drew teachers, faculty, and students to a little niche on the second floor of Hogan. This book, but a glimpse of our sweat and toil, which Mr. Muir always covered with his own, can only partially convey what this activity and this school meant to all of us, and what we mean to each other.
