FO REW O RDOur school is fhe living community of the young people of Sayreville and the

surrounding countryside. We have grown up with it; it is an intimate part of our young lives. As Freshmen, we approached its impressive structure with awe only to find it as mellow and human as home. Through it we made our first venture into the world of grown-ups. We found a whole society that had its leaders and citizens, its laws and duties. We became part of this society.

Slowly, slowly we made our first social contacts; we found friends and bosom pals with hearts as true as gold. Slowly, too, we were initiated into the tasks and duties of the business world of young people. Our task was to receive the culture and learning of our forefathers. But now we near the end of that task and hope we have reached our goal.

We, the class of '51, say with heartfelt gratitude, "Thank you, SayrevilleHigh School."

D ED ICA TIO NW e, the graduating class of 1951, dedi­

cate our yearbook, Quovadis, to education. The very meaning of the title of our yearbook, "Whither Soest Thou," is in keeping with this dedication. Do we know the way, and what is more important, where are we going?

Education establishes goals worthy of hu­man endeavor and ^points out the paths that lead to their attainment. We as students are conscious of the zealous efforts education ex­pends on our behalf. Sometimes the goals seem extremely high and the way to ultimate success insurmountable. But by gentle measures, perse­verance and human understanding education overcomes each barrier in our path.

We, in our young student life, have many problems and needs. Many of them are solved for us, and what is most remarkable, this is done so unpretentiously that we are relieved of em­barrassment. W e can all remember venturing out on the dance floor for the first time. It was only the first cold plunge that was difficult; after

that a new social life opened up before us. We now felt more mature and confident.

But the confidence we were building in our own ability did not end there; our wood and metal craftmanship, our typing and sewing, our many other displays of talent were admired. At times we were requested to perform services for the school community. What a glorious ex­perience it was to feel that we were needed and useful to our small society.

Our elders, in turn, asked assistance from us. We were now crossing a golden bridge that connected the school community with the town community. W e were being recognized as cit­izens who had Their share of accomplishments to contribute to society.

How gentle the progress, how sudden the realization, but how great the planning on the part of education to make us feel we were ac­ceptable and wanted citizens in the social world that exists outside our school.

♦ ♦ ♦Us for the World of TodayThe ageless earth journeys in its orbit, while mighty celestial

forces maintain it in its balanced progress.The hand of God is steady on the helm with cause and effect

following each other as inevitably as spring follows winter.The clock of the years is marked with flowers. When tulip

time has passed and the hands approach the time of roses, you, the Class of '51, will go to meet your future.

You will seek your places in a world no longer tranquil, but reeling from the impact of changed values, confused and torn by the dissembling and dissent of men. Your path will be shadowed by tension, uncertainty and fear, while devious reasoning and subversive propaganda will seek to impede you.

Meet these inimical forces with courage and resilience, re­membering always that they are man-made and trivial. In no way are they comparable to the imponderable forces of God and nature.

May the power of knowledge and the faith of your souls assure you of success, and make you ever conscious of God's hand, steady on the helm.

Senior year is the end of twelve years of planned education. This is the fulfillment of all your dreams. Its long awaited coming has been interspersed with anticipation and fascination. Its advent has cast an aura of magic which spread its glow over the entire year and culminates in graduation.

Then it's over and you have to come down to earth. Never again will you fit into a plan of living especially prepared for you. The past is beyond your power, only a memory. The present is reality. Your high school curriculum program, based on worthwhile life experiences, has helped you to attain knowledge and social maturity in the realm of your peers. The habits and training of school life will be easily adapted to your emerging adult life.

May the set of values which you, the Class of 1951, have formulated for successful school adjustment help you to devise a pattern for a happy and useful life.

Truly, American Education makes Graduation Day a symbol of all the good things we so earnestly desire for the youth of the nation.

COLLEGE PREPARATORYi *

COMMERCIALThe commercial curriculum is strictly a

vocational course. It prepares its members for office positions. The commercial subjects are as follows: junior business training, commercial geo­graphy, typing, stenography, bookkeeping, office practice, commercial law and salesmanship.

Stenography I and II and office practice must be satisfactorily completed by the student for a commercial diploma.

In their senior year, the applicants experi­ence practical training through outside positions. Filing, cutting stencils, and operating calculating and duplicating machines are included.

The college preparatory course is offered to students who plan to enter college upon grad­uation from high school.

The college preparatory curriculum has a general standard pattern which includes basic subjects which applicants for college must pre­sent. These are algebra, geometry, trigonometry, Latin, French, biology, chemistry and physics.

College preparatory students take gen­eral science, music, and for girls, home eco­nomics. Drafting, typing and stenography are recommended as valuable subjects for students who are preparing for college.

GENERALThe General Curriculum is offered fo

those students who are undecided as to their future position. Pupils may transfer to other curricula provided their marks are satisfactory.

A student who remains in the curriculum selects subjects which should prepare him for post-graduation. Such a student has a long list of electives from which to choose.

Mathematics and science may be chosen by a student who is considering college, while students interested in secretarial work may select stenography and typing.

INDUSTRIAL ARTSThe Industrial Arts Curriculum is designed

primarily for students who are interested in mechanical arts. Basic academic subjects are required together with four years of practical training in shop work. Such courses of study include the making of practical articles which belong to the students after the completion of a marking period. Upon graduation the Indus­trial Arts pupil has adequate training as an ap­prentice for work in the various trades.

The 1950-51 season for the Sayreville Bombers will go down in the school's basketball history as the year the team brought home their first Group I Central Jersey Championship.

Sayreville wound up their regular season with a record of 3 losses against 15 victories. In the second Hoffman fray the Bombers came from behind at the three quarter mark to over­take a 17-point deficit winning 62-60.

Sailing into the tournament at full steam, the Brickmen, under the able and guiding eyes of. Coach Gutkowski, who has chalked up his second year as head of the basketball squad, quickly disposed of Point Pleasant and Hights- town, receiving little opposition. After a tense encounter with Hoffman in the finals the Bombers squeezed out a 58-57 win, giving Sayreville its. first court championship.

BASKETBALLGroup I State Champs

After securing the Central Division title the Blue and Gray overran a weak Gloucester five, 56-40, to set themselves up for the finals in the state tournaments. Meeting Verona at the El izabeth Armory, Coach Gutkowski's squad came out on the winning end of a tense court battle, emerging with the Group I State Cham­pionship.

FOOTBALLThe 1950 edition of the Sayreville High

School Bombers closed out their season with a record of three wins and five losses.

The Blue and Gray suffered a serious set­back when they lost the services of eleven regu­lars in their championship year of 1949.

However, with Al Noble and Charlie Kolakowski as the only returning veterans, the Bombers had a commendable season against the strong competition they encountered.

Al Noble, Joe Schmit, Buddy Zamorski and Kolo sparked the team in every contest.

The team coming up for 1951 should be very promising with such stellar performers as Pete Tilquist, Kolakowski, Robert Evanovich, John Sinuk, etc. With this array of players, Sayreville High School will return again to the top of the football ladder.

own program based on group interest. Thus far the subjects considered were model building, aerodynamics, navigation and scientific prin­ciples of aviation. The club also helps to pre­pare students for positions in this field.

LIBRARY CLUBMembers are given practical training in

the care and placement of library material and bulletin board displays. Individually, members assume the full role of librarian, thus obtaining valuable experience. Their knowledge is sup­plemented by a field trip to the New York Library.

EMPTY CORRIDORAll good things must come to an end. We gradu­

ated today. The ties with our school were broken so sud­denly we were reluctant to leave. We waited until the crowds dispersed and this is what we saw— an empty cor­ridor. "All, all are gone the old familiar faces." Sod speed us all. Through a lifetime may we ask ourselves the question, entitled on this book, Quovadis.
