PATRICIA DOUCHA Secretary Treasurer G CLSS It was the eighth day of September, 1949, a calm peaceful autumnal day, radiant with the sunshine of hope, cheer and joyous promise, that the good ship Atlantic stood at anchor at the wharf of a new school year. It was the same old ship that had carried many passengers to safe harbor in the Land of Great Wisdom, but this day was a gala day inits history, and many people gazed upon it in wonder as they watched the 31 beautiful and charming young ladies and the 32 bold and dash- ing young gentlemen as they so happily stepped aboard, for it was rumored that they were about to set sail over new and untried waters in a quest for The Fountain of Perfect Under- standing. As the ship stood at anchor on that eventful morning of September, the passengers began to arrive, and as I was the first to be enrolled upon the, list of passengers, to me was entrusted the important task of writing the log of the voyage-- the voyage that, even then, they all realized was to be the most important of their lives. I had scarcely finished the task of placing my signature upon the ship's register when a companion joined me--a girl who had sailed with me through the eighth grade cruise among the Island of Smaller Learning, and who I was glad to learn was to join me in this larger voyage, We were both congratulating ourselves upon the mutual pleasure of longer companionship together, when we turned to welcome a third comer, who had come from a distant city to take passage with us. We peeped over her shoulder as she wrote her name and were surprised to decipher the letters that she wrote. We had heard of the young lady before, and had known of her many pranks, so while we knew we would not find her overly fond of study, we were sure her jolly nature would brighten for us many an otherwise gloomy hour. In a short time we were joined by a fourth, and soon so many were crowding around us that all the berths were filled and we were assured of a very happy voyage. We were naturally very enthusiastic and asked many eager questions of our Captain, as to the incidents of our voyage and its probable length, and were assured thatifwe were persever- ing and diligent in our duties we should easily reach our destination at the end of four years. So it was with very hopeful hearts and smiling faces that we bade our parents and friends good-bye and waved our handkerchiefs from the deck at those left behind in the Grammar Grades, as we steamed away from the wharf and out of the harbor, actually embarked for four years' absence, on our Voyage of High School Life. We were young and socially inclined, so it did not take us long to become acquainted with our fellow-passengers, nor to feel very much at home with our Pilots, Mrs. A. DeWinter and Mr. L. Hyatt: the Captain, Maynard Reed: the Stewardess, Patricia Joslin: and even the Porter, Robert Duncan. Our fears of shipwreck were entirely wiped away in the assurance that so able a staff of seamen had us in their charge. There were naturally a few cases of seasickness and various ones were tempted to throw up Algebra, Geometry and other dis- agreeable dishes and toss some of their best belongings over- board in times of rough sea, but the Stewardess assured them calmly but firmly that they would only have to consume these indigestibles over and over until they were perfectly as- is fory similated, and so they bravely managed to hold them down. We noticed at the outset of the voyage that the stream upon which we had set sail was comparatively narrow and sheltered, but using our field glasses we could see such wide vistas of water ahead, that we were led to inquire of the Captain the significance of the situation. He explained to us that the Voyage of High School Life was in reality to be over four seas, though the four bodies of water were so closely joined together that they seemed but one immense sea. He informed us, further, that we had just entered upon the first and smallest of these, which was called Freshmen Sea. The usual intimacy of shipboard soon sprang up between us voyagers and we have been loyal shipmates ever since. We sailed over the Freshmen Sea and received our checks of identification from the Purser almost before we knew. lt would take too long to write the complete log of this eventful voyage. lt would be very interesting to tell the many delightful experiences, the many wonderful lessons, the changes in the passenger list at the various ports along the way, the partings from this one, and the welcoming of that, with the why and the wherefore of it all, but after all, it has but little vital significance except to ourselves, the few who still remain together to land tonight at Commencement Wharf. We must not divulge the secrets of our shipmates. We must not forget the loyalty due to our class colors so valiantly flying at the masthead. The best and most vital history of any person or thing is never given to the world. So must it be with the Class of 1953. It has been a most wonderful voyage and we have ac- cumulated many souvenirs from every port, striving, however. to guard against the danger of excess baggage, and of taking unto ourselves anything which would not be of service to us on the yet greater Voyage of Real Life upon which we are this day to embark. We have not faced any gale which we were not able to withstand. We have not been wrecked upon the Shoals of any threatening task. The tides of our averages have con- tinued to ebb and flow, the waves of p-mathematical problems have kept up their ceaseless motion and commotion: the billows of examination questions have sometimes tried their worst to overwhelm usg but non of them has succeeded. We have been able to procure the necessary passport at the entrance of each succeeding sea, and have been able to pay the price in good hard work for every part of the passage. We have sympathized with the seasick passengers that made up the various new classes. We have enjoyed the successful ex- periences of those who have landed on other shores. Now we look at the larger, more majestic ocean ahead and feel that our experience has fitted us to withstand every storm, and weather any opposing force with no fear of disaster, saying with Byron, Roll on2 thou deep and dark blue ocean, roll! Ten thousand fleets sweep over thee in vainl -- But not in vain the Class of 1953! We will go on writing new logs of greater adventure, and yet more wonderful discovery, for while the Voyage of High School Life is at an end, the Voyage of Real Life is just now and here at its triumphant Commencement! 1, r Name Atlee, Nancy Lou Augustine, Alice Borsky, Joanne Boyce, Dorothy Brey, Howard Cass, Thelma Dender, Peter Doucha, Patricia Duncan, Robert Hartcorn, Peter Hull, David Joslin, Patricia Junkleman, Robert Kampf, Helen Kozak.

It wasn't strictly human and yet Ihad never before in all my study of natural history seen any creature, even distantly, resembling it. Before I had time to ask the customary questions, When and where were you born? Are you single or married? What is your favorite breakfast food? the strange visitor asked in a mighty voice, the first notes of which made me leap out of my chair, Are you the student who has been selected as the prophet ofthe class of Atlantic Highlands High School? If you are, the creature went on quickly, before I had time to utter a word, I see by your looks that it is indeed necessary that I should help you. It was a wise act when I was sent to you. Sent to me? I ejaculated, my curiosity over- coming my fear. By whom? Ah, said the shape, I perceive that you have not heard of the new movement among the curricula. The curricula? I repeated stupidly. Yes, was the quick reply, the curricula of all the schools in the United States. Then, I exclaimed, I suppose you are a curriculum? Of course. I see you know a little Latin, was the angry reply, and the creature con- tinued: We have united together to help the poor overworked teachers and superintendents at com- mencement time. So here goes. First and foremost, Patricia Joslin is to be President of. the United States. Hold on, I exclaimed, don't you know that is a girl's name? What of it? was the retort, now that women have the ballot, they'll soon relieve the men of the few duties which have been left them,'and women presidents will be as common as queens. But I have no time to argue about this now. There is Lewis Worth, he will become the most famous cook in the whole wide world. O, hold on! I exclaimed, you don't seem to have any idea of the significance of names. Where have you lived all your life not to know that Lewis is a boy's name? Of course, but if the girls are all presidents and other officials, the men will have to do the cooking, I reckon, unless you think we'll live without eating in those wonderful days. And now please don't interrupt me again, no matter what I may say. Robert Junkelman is to become a famous biologist and will discover some of Nature's deepest secrets, for ex- ample, why an oyster isn't a tadpole, and similar never-before solved problems. Howard Brey is presi- dent of the Ford Company and has eliminated all colors except red. Joseph Borsky is giving lectures on how to win friends and influence people. Nancy Ryan is gradually putting all other clarinet playing band leaders out of business. Albert Panariello is a trigo- nometry professor at N.Y.U. James Snyder and Anthony Papa are playing professional basketball. Sebastian Rich is to be an artistic milliner. Now don't tell me there are no man milliners. Per- haps there are none at present, but since the cubists and their ilk, realists and impressionists will have destroyed art, the only outlet for a man's artistic nature must be in bonnets at one hundred dollars per, and there will be money in it at that, for the smaller the bonnet and the bigger the price the more crazy women there will be to buy them. Mary Ellen Kozak has become a top flight model in the circle of fashion. Patricia Doucha will become an architect, and will design a tabernacle which will be the eighth wonder of the modern world. O, come now, I said, all out of patience, you are getting crazy again--a woman architect? Certainly, the creature answered sharply, no man could do it. Menus visions are too narrow. It will need a woman's breadth of thought, her airy visions, etc. I will concede the point, I answered gruffly. Go ong who next? Robert Duncan will run a large steam laundry in Chicago. A washerwoman, with all his talents! I groaned. This is too much! It needs talents to run a laundry, and this will be a model one. nothing will ever be lost there, not even the string to a night-cap, and nothing will ever be torn, not even the finest lace lingerie. and 'nothing will ever be starchcd that shouldn't be starched, and everything will be starched that ought to be. Joanne Borsky is now the featured singer with Tommy Dor- sey's famed band. Nancy'Atlee has her own school of Stenography. She achieved a gold medal for the world's speed record in Stenography. Among the house wives we find, Alice Augustine, Dorothy Boyce, Thelma Cass, Helen Kampfand Evelyn Leonard. Robert Letts will run a large steam laundry in Philadelphia. Why Philadelphia? I asked gruffly. Because, was the quick reply, it is said to be the cleanest city in the world and they must need a lot of soap. I looked at him a moment as I said, lt used to be so considered, but I think you have not been there lately. He did not stop to argue the question with me, but doubtless, thinking of that other engagement, he went on rapidly. Among the prosperous business men are, Richard Wahlers, James White, Maynard Reed, Thomas Maffia and Richard Malone. Robert Ledergerber has become the sheik or Hollywood. Barbara Stryker has been chosen 1960's Mrs. America. Nancy Marek now is writing her own movie column for a leading New York newspaper. I see Robert Leonard in the bright California sunshine. He is picking oranges: so, of course, he is the happy owner of a California ranch. Peter Dender has seven cars--one for each day in the week. Peter Hartcorn is now a famous disc jockey who is slowly replacing our own Martin Bloc. A dainty lady of society, envied and flattered by all, the queen of every gathering, the belle of every ballr-Joan Richards. A second Melba--greatest opera singer of the day will be Mary Jane Martin. John Manigrasso will be an eminent physician at the head of a prominent hospital, in some one of our largest cities. Thomas Maffia will be an author, a novelist of exceeding genius, while David Hull will be a talented musician and thrill the world with his harmony. Delores McGowan will travel a great deal, and explore other countries, having many exciting adventures and escapades. Robert Larsen will be the proprietor of a curio shop in some fantastic part of the world, and sell old chromos to the natives for immense sums of money. Joy Mazzacco finds herself very much in love with somebody or other at sometime or other in her life, and may even be tempted to think about getting mar- ried. Sandra Maskrey will be a girl of the plains-- a pioneer of distant wildness and vastness,--riding barebacked over the broad spaces. Amy Schloeder a fair lady. disappointed in some love affair, has be- come a 'nun and devotes her life to going about doing good to all the world. Yvonne Pinero will some day be exceedingly wealthy--one of the money queens of the world. She will be one of gentle disposition, but of a very stout figure, and a voice which appears to start very deep down in the body. Evelyn Leonard will be a railroad president. She will hunt up atruly domestic man for her mate and they will live in everlasting bliss. O, you mix me up so dreadfullyg I think I could have done better myself. But, now, how about my good fortune? Alas, that is too sad to relate, the creature said with a wink and a grimace, and in another mom- ent I was alone in the twilight. Wa hington Trip On the morning of May 6, 1953, 'the Senior Class of Atlantic Highlands H.S. was just beginning one of the most exciting and newest adventures that any of us had ever undertaken--our Washington Trip. With suitcases and cameras, we piled into the bus which was ready to leave at the early hour of 7:00 A.M. When we all had our seats and were comfortably adjusted, we settled back to relax for the long journey which was about to begin. After traveling for 455 hours we finally reached the United States Naval Academy at Annapolis, Maryland. Here we were to be taken on a tour of the buildings and grounds, and later we were to see the Midshipman Dress-Parade held every Wednesday afternoon at 3:15 on Worden Field. The first place we toured was MacDonough Hall, the gymnasium. Then we went on the other side to Dahlgren Hall, the armory. One of the newest and largest buildings is Bancroft Hall, where the midshipmen live. That afternoon, we saw one of the most impressive exhibitions of the day, the Midshipman's Dress Parade. At 5:45 that evening we entered our new home for the next few days, the Willard Hotel in Washing- ton D.C. This is one of the largest hotels in all of Washington. We had excellent service, cuisine, and the best of accommodations. At 6:30, famished, we entered the dining room of the hotel where we indulged in a delicious chicken dinner. After dinner we boarded the bus and went to visit the Library of Congress and the Lincoln Memorial. We walked on the beautiful grounds to the Library of Congress--an impressive marble build- ing. three stories high, surrounded by gardens with broad stretches of grass and trees. We entered the Central Stair Hall, a magnificent structure of polished marble. On each side of us there were lofty, rounded columns with elaborate capitals of Corinthian design. The lofty arches rose above exquisitely decorated marble rosettes, palm leaves, and foliated designs of wonderful delicacy. We then climbed the low, broad, stairway slowly pausing now and then to admire one or the other of the carved figures in its alcoves. ln the entrance pavilion above, we saw a wonderful series of paint- ings. We then went upstairs where we saw the Declaration of Independence, Constitution, and many more documents so valuable to our American Heritage. The next morning we were awakened by our advisors much against our own volition. At 8:00 after eating a hearty breakfast, we again boarded the bus for a visit to the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, Washing- ton Monument, White House and Pan American Building. Rs we drove along Pennsylvania Avenue, we looked up the side streets only to see many trees, and more trees. On every side of us there was a picture--a picture of tranquility, of beauty and of prosperity--rare combinations in the national capital of a large country. We passed the Treasury Building and saw, set in a noble park, the home of the presi- dent, known to everyone as the White House. Washing- ton himself selected the place for the White House and laid the cornerstone in 1792, and lived to see the building completed. Although many of the public buildings in Washington are of gleaming marble, the White House is built of gray Virginia sandstone, paint- ed white. The mansion in its spacious green park has a dignified graceful beauty, probably unsurpassed by any other residence in the world. As we made our way through a long colonnade which led to the basement corridor, we observed the portraits of many of the mistresses of the mansion. Ascending theibroad stairway, we reache'd the center hall, from which we were allowed to enter the great East Room, where the formal receptions are held. With special permission we then had the guide take us into the Blue Room, with its hanging of blue silk and the clock sent to Lafayette by the great Napoleon. which was presented to Washington. The private rooms of the president's family were not shown. After leaving the Executive Mansion, we entered the bus which then took us to the Washington Monu- sf ment. Suddenly through the trees, we caught our first glimpse of the Monument. Most of us had decided at the last moment to take the elevator up. When we left the elevator and stepped out on a platform, we were overwhelmed at the bird's eye-view that we received from this collossal structure. Everything seemed so fairy-tale like. Here we saw the White House, Smithsonian Institute, the white gleaming dome of the Capitol, and far beyond, the beautiful Lincoln Memorial with the flowing waters of the Potomac River, while to the west were the wooded slopes -of peaceful Arlington, where lies the Field of the Dead, containing the bodies of many who gave their lives for their country on the battlefield. The tomb of the Unknown Soldier is also located here. Here too, is the burial place of Major L'Enfant who planned the city. As we moved toward the platform, a few of us decided to take the long way down. As we walked down the 898 steps, it felt as if we were being enclosed in a smaller and smaller place, until finally, without realizing, we were at the bottom and again seeing the faces so familiar to us all. That afternoon we took a trip to nearby Virginia, where we visited the home and burial place of George Washington. Overlooking the Potomac River stands a simple home built of wood, two stories high. A high piazza runs along the whole front of the house, which has six rooms of moderate size on the ground floor containing many objects of historical interest, 7 iiiit A f Q ,c,,t ' at t My ,,.,,,. rzi. 5 .-sfdgjgsffggfi 1.., .V 1 A-, Mn- , l.'i l S' ' if ..., is new ' -,yi Sitting, left to right: James Kehoe.

When we returned to the city of Washington, we immediately went to the capital where we had our group picture taken. With the symbolic capitol build- ing in the background, we posed for the traditional picture that will be ever near to us. Through the massive doors we entered the rotunda, or interior of the dome. The Capitol possesses some interesting statuaries and paintings, and as we passed through its halls, we again saw them. As we came into the great circular hall, we paused for a moment at the door to note the magnificent columned cor- ridors spread out before us. The walls are decorated with a bewildering array of paintings, sculptures, and frescoes. Over us is the vaulted canopy of the dome which was aglow with color. We then visited the National Statuary Hall, one of the most beauti- ful rooms in the Capitol. It was once the Hall of the House of Representatives, before the new wing was built. lt is semi-circular in shape and adorned with noble columns. The domed ceiling was decorated after the design of the Roman Pantheon. Around the room on their marble bases, stands statues of persons who have been famous in the history of our country. Each state has the right to select two persons who have been prominent in its history. We then looked into the old Senate Chamber, later used by the Supreme Court, and saw the Hall of Representatives and the Senate Chamber, impressive in their sim- plicity. As we continued on our journey we visited the President's Room, with its quiet richness of decora- tiong we ,saw the Senators' Reception Room, known as the Marble Room. We inspected the Public Re- ception Room, a richly furnished apartment glowing with brilliant colors and having a vault ceiling with allegorical frescoes depicting War, Peace, Liberty, Plenty, Power, Temperance, Prudence, and Justice. After leaving our C'ountry's Capitol, we returned to the hotel where our evening entertainment was about to begin. Half exhausted with all the excitement of the past three days, we again entered the bus which was about to begin its long voyage homeward. As we all sat in 'the bus relaxing, some asleep, others playing quiz games. and still more singing in the rear of the bus, we looked back at the happenings of the days spent and we began to realize what our nation was really like, and why, with all our democratic ways, and golden opportunities, what a wonderful privilege it is to say that we live in America. We went home feeling richer, not in the sense of money, but in the wealth of knowledge gained by us on this tour and saying to ourselves, My, how lucky we are to call ourselves Americans!

The practice of passing treasures from one generation to another is as old as the dawn of civilization. Very curious indeed have been some of the wills which have gone upon record, showing the numberless vagaries with which the human mind may be afflicted. Recently a multi-millionaire left the bulk of his fortune to be used in teaching the world to ERI unpolished rice. Many similar peculiarities might be cited. A forcible illustration of human foibles is found in the fact that these eccentric wills are usually contested by the legal heirs. Such contestants evidently consider that makers of the erratic wills had no right to say what should be done with their property when they had no further use for it. This is certainlyawise arrangement for the enrich- ment of lawyers. If every owner of property would make an eccentric will, human nature being what it is, the lawful heirs would certainly contest the wills and the lawyers thereby would acquire much Filthy Lucre. The Senior Class of the Atlantic Highlands High School, however, does not intend to make so egregious a blunder. May the shades of Blackstone prevent it from that! As it is composed of the most intelligent and sensible youths of the state of New Jersey, its will must be in keeping with the status of the class. The foregoing sentences are but the preamble to the last will and testament of the Senior class ofthe Atlantic Highlands High School, who being collectively of a sound mind and having the fear of no human being before its eyes, save that of the Superintendent, Herbert S. Meinert and the Principal, Mr. Bradley Van Brunt, do hereby will and bequeath to the Junior class all its laughs and giggles, unsolved puzzles, tardy and absent marks, all the unchewed gum, apple cores and cold lunches. all the foot. basket and baseballscores, all the broken Jack-knives and unsharpened lead pencils, half-filled note books and all other unclaimed properties of no value whatever. To the Janitors, who have, at all times, done their duty in making our sojourn in the halls of learning as dreary as possible, we will and bequeathe the undisputed possession of our individual desks and ink wells to be at their disposal for- ever. We give and bequeath to the dear faculty. who have been our instructors in all the wisdom of the ages a sweet and unbroken succession of restful nights and peaceful dreams. No longer need they lie awake through the long watches of the night to worry over the uncertainty ofwhether this one is doing her night work, or that one will have her mathematics in morning class, or the other one willrememberevery iron-clad rule of compositional technique in the preparation ofher essay. It has been a hard strain on them, for Seniors are said to be at all times and under all conditions difficult to manage. But they have all done their duty, and verily, now shall they have their well-earned reward. Q55 To the Freshman class we bequeath our good will and ability to persevere through all unfavorable circumstances. Our wonderful intellectual powers, which have brought us to our present enviable position, we bequeath to the Sophs, and to the Juniors all our indifference to criticism and our sublime self- conceit. All these qualities we now feel we can get on without in the busy world into which we are entering. To the Juniors we also bequeath our power to see through a millstone. Our Latin and French pronunciation, which for its force and originality has never been surpassed, we will and bequeath to the pupils of the eighth grade, knowing that they will need it more than those of other grades. Our proficiency in phonetic spelling which has never been equalled and seldom surpassed, we bequeath to the primary grade. Our understanding and comprehension of English and American history we consign to no one, but leave it hanging in the air, to be confiscated by whomsoever deserves it. Our love of the good, the true and the beautiful we bequeath to the schools of the world, hoping that they may form an organization vying with all the Greek letter organizations, and that the order may spread through the length and breadth of our land. The pass word to be simply, G.T.B., and these letters to be printed on the badges or pins worn by the members. The following may seem but trifling bequests, but we hope they may be accepted, not as worthless things lavishly thrown away because we can no longer keep them, but as valuable assets to those who may receive them, anda continual remind- er of the generosity of heart displayed in our free and full bestowal: I, Howard Brey, do bequeath my most useful book, How To Be A Casanova in Three Easy Lessons to John Mackel so that he may snag that certain girl.

Any stubs of pencils, erasers or scraps of paper that we may inadvertently leave behind us in the excitement and haste of gathering up our cherished treasures for the last tirne, we leave to all of you. May you feel free to make use of them, and feel, perhaps, that they may, in some mystic way. impart some of our knowledge to you. Last comes the one thing hard for us to part with. To our successors we must leave our places in the hearts and .thoughts of our Principal and teachers. They will love them, unworthy as we feel they are, even as they have loved us: they will show them all the same tender kindness and attention that ,they have bestowed upon us: they will feel the same interest in their at- tempts and successesg the same sorrow when they fail. We trust that the 'Class of 1954 will appreciate all this as deeply as we have done, that it maybe their most precious possession, as it has been ours, and the one we are most loathe to hand over to them. Besides these enforced gifts, we leave -- HOC of necessity, but our own free will -- our blessing, tender mem- ories of our pleasant associations together,'and our forgiveness for anything that we may not have exactly appreciated in the demonstrations of the past, and a pledge of friendship from henceforth and forever. All the rest and residue of our property, whatsoever and wheresoever, of what nature, kind and quality soever it may be, and not herein before disposed of fafter paying our debts and funeral expensesj, we give and bequeath to our beloved Superintendent, for his use and benefit absolutely, and to be disposed of for the good ofthe coming classes as he may see fit. And we do hereby constitute and appoint the said Superin- tendent sole executor of this our last will and testament. ln witness whereof, We, the Class of 19531, the testators. have to this our will, written on one sheet of parchment, set our hands and seal this day ofJune, Anno Doinini, one thousand nine hundred and fifty-three.

Our first activity as a class was the sponsor- ship of a Freshman Party. As a result of this party we quickly became acquainted with the other mem- bers of the class. The remainder of our Freshman year was spent in becoming acclimated to the routine and customs of high school. The Sophomore year of 1951-52 found us as active participants in most of oun schools' activities. Some of the boys became members of the various athletic teamsg others joined school clubs and other s 11 li .. s 55.2522 PS became cheer leaders. The major activity of our Sophomore year was the Clover Capers. This dance was a financial success which we all enjoyed. When we returned to school in the fall of 1952 we discovered that most of us had shed our childish ways. Our interests in school became more scholastic since we realized that we were entering the last place of our high school careers. We played a much larger role in the schools' programs. During our Junior year we saw many of the boys gain varsity letters. Other boys rose in Stu- dent Council Activities, and also participated in county and state programs. Several girls became organizations. The girls, too, became active in the varsity cheer leaders and leaders in club curricular and extra-curricular programs.

The Santa Claus Waltz, the Christmas dance, was our second major activity as Juniors. This was the first dance of the school with live music. The Junior trip to New York City came in the latter part of the year. The trip to New York provided us with many enjoyable experiences. Our final activity as Juniors was to play host to the Seniors at the Junior Prom. As the school year closes we are all looking forward to the day when we return as Seniors.

Although a little bewildered and uncertain at first, we soon became accustomed to the high school cus- toms and routine. Under the guidance of our class advisors, Miss McCrea and Mr. Hyatt, our first year in high school was a successful one. The Freshman Get-Together Party started us on our way. We became better acquainted with our fellow classmen after this very pleasant evening of dancing, games, and other entertainment. The election of class officers followed the party with Carol Peder- W.. .,t......-..... ft -W. . .

The Freshman class had several later meetings at which a Hallowe'en skit was prepared. This skit was presented at the Hallowe'en Dance. As Freshmen, we participated in all school activities that were open to us. Sports attracted the boys and the girls entered the sports scene by cheerleading and participation in intramural sports. Various members joined the Sci- ence Club and the Glee Club. Time flies quickly, and we soon found that we were again back in school after a three month vacation. However, this time we were Sophomores. The newness of the previous year had now passed. Mrs. Hoffmann First row, standing, left to right: Lillian Heineck, Astrid Friden Carolyn Mendes.

The school year of 1952-53 found us entering nearly all school activities. Sophomore boys were found on the gridiron, basketball court, and baseball field. The intramural program was used to advantage by both the boys and girls.Sophomore girls made their appearance on the J.V. Cheerleading squad in the past school year. With the aid of our class advisors, our Sophomore dance was a tremendous success both financially and socially, and our Sophomore year terminated as a year we will never forget.

We came to this school in September and we began a new phase of our life. Cone were our toys and simple arithmetic prob'- lems. Ahead of us lay a new life. To achieve this we all realized that we must work and do our best. We tried, and one-half of our girls made the honor roll and about one-fifth of the boys received honors. Our first activity was our Freshmen get-together party. This was held in early September under the supervision of Mrs. Margaret Olinger and Mr. Dominic Lally, our class advisors. The party was a huge success and we were all pleased with our new friends. After we became acquainted with the whole class, we held our first class meeting. At this time the following class officers were elected: William Heard, Presidentg Thomas McCabe, Vice-Presidentg Char- lotte Mangold, Secretary-Treasurer. We have all tried to be an active member in at least one club. Six boys played Junior Varsity football and a few boys sub- stituted for Varsity. When basketball season opened, sixteen boys were playing either Junior Varsity or Freshman ball. The girls were very interested in cheering and intramurals. tio , ,,gf4w, it, anti is K img - ..' a W x fr S , Standing, left to right: Mr. Charles Lanza, Beverly Ruch, Bertha Conover, Patricia Young, Charles MacLaughlin, Roberta McTague, Joanne Vida.

ATLANTIC HIGHLANDS 26-KEYPORT O The Tigers unleashed a surprising ground and aerial attack against the Red Raiders Saturday to hand the Keyporters their second loss. Local Tiger sup- porters, jubilant over the team's decisive victory, began to talk of a possible Shore Conference Group l title for the Bayshore squad. The Tiger attack was sparked by backs, David Turner, John Bordulis, Robert Letts and Joseph Bellavance--ends. Maynard Reed and James Snyder. Dave Turner tallied two touchdowns and caught a pass that accounted for the third. Reed and Snyder each snagged apass for touch- downs. With the score O'O at the end ofthe first quarter, the Tigers attacked by ground and air to tally two markers and make good the extra points. Turner went over from the 'three yard line for the first score and Bordulis tossed a 15 yard pass to Reed for the second tally. Turner brought off the two final scores ofthe ball game in the last quarter. Robert Letts heavecl a 30 yard pass to Snyder, who waltzed around end from the 11 to windup the after' noons scoring. ATLANTIC HIGHLANDS o-FREEHOLD 13 The game started with a great deal of spirit, when Robert Letts passed from the 45 yard line to the waiting arms of James Snyder who ran to the 20 before being taken clown. The next play, Bordulis threw a pass to Robert Letts who ran it down to the 5 yard line for another first down. On the next play Freehold intercepted a pass and marched 94 yards, but the half was called and no score was made by either team. The beginning of the second half, Freehold scored and made the extra point. Freehold came back and intercepted another pass caught by Lewis to score again,but the extra point was blocked by our team. During the third period the Tigers almost scored, when the team marched down to Freeholds 3 yard line. The last quarter of the game wasa prcponderous struggle between the two tcarns. Neither team scored. llvkggyl ROBERT LETTS Quarterback , JOHN MANIGRASSO Guard ATLANTIC HIGHLANDS 6-NEPTUNE 7 The Tigers started the game with a roaring pace. We drove Neptune back to the 20, almost in scoring position, when a fumble was recovered by Neptune and they marched 35 yards. Left half Larry Harvey and right halfback Green, were the mainsprings for the Scarlet Fliers. Ulysses Jackson snagged a pass in the end zone and scored. The extra point was made. The next period the Tigers marched 55 yards by a pass from John Bordulis to Maynard Reed for a 30 yard gain to the 8. Dave Turner carried to the three. After being stopped for three downs, Dave Turner swept around right end for the score. Captain Anthony Papa's conversion try, struck the cross bar on the goal post and bounced crazily. ATLANTIC HIGHLANDS O-POINT PLEASANT 24 Seldom does a school clinch a shore conference title in October, but Point Pleasant High School's eleven virtually put the circuit Group I title on ice, by crushing the Tigers 24-O. The Tigers were ex- pected to give the Gulls a run for their money, but they were no match as the Ocean County eleven put on another tricky running game, to run up two T.D.'s in both the second and third period. With Leigh Millar, Happy Wenal and Jim Law sharing the lugging role, the Gulls busted this game wide open by taking a 12-O lead in the second period. Millar and Wenal pushed over the scores. In the third quarter, Law and Walt Derrau went over and the title hopes of the Tigers went reeling into oblivion. ATLANTIC HIGHLANDS 0'RUMSON 19 The Tigers put on a strong ground attack in the first quarter, gaining three first downs in a row and marching to the Bulldogs 10 yard line before a pass interception by John Nelson ended the threat. Rumson got their first score in the second quarter when they took James Snyder's kick from the 46 and marched to the 13 yard line of the Tigers, where Robert Aumack charged over for the touchdown. John Noonan's try for the extra point was blocked. After the half, the Bulldogs took the kickoff and marched to the Tigers one yard line and fumbled. The Tigers took possession and exchanged fumbles and John Desmond scored. Noonan's kick was good for the extra point. The Tigers put on a sustained drive late in the final quarter and marched 71 yards for 4 successive first downs to the Rumson 9. At this point, Bordulis's pass intended for James Snyder was again intercepted by Springsteen, to thwart the Tigers hopes for a score. Time ran out beforeeither team was able to generate a scoring drive. ATLANTIC HIGHLANDS 0-MATAWAN 13 Atlantic went down to defeat at the hands of Matawan due to the fast running of Don McQuarrie. He scampered 82 yards for the first of the two touchdowns, and 106 yards during the closing min- utes of the game, for the other. The Tigers were high spirited by holding their own, while Don Marvel, the spark of Matawan was taken down on every play he ran the ball. John Manigrasso and Anthony Papa were the big guns responsible for this, while James Hudson was the fast charging, hard hitting tackle who also helped to make small of Marvel. Bordulis threw a 30 yard pass to Turner and we took the offense to almost score, except fora pass interception by the Huskies. Their defense was like a stone wall and the attempts of the Tigers failed to connect. The third quarter, neither team did anything. It turned into a punting duel between the two teams.

ATLANTIC HIGHLANDS 12-KEYPORT 7 The Junior Varsity started the season by beating the Red Raiders, 12-7. Robert Duncan was the spark of this game. When he wasn't passing, he was running around the ends or ducking in and out of the Raiders defense. Robert Duncan connected with a pass to the waiting arms of Ronald Bahr, in the end zone. The third quarter was a preponderous struggle between the two teams. In the last period ofthe game, Duncan scored the other touchdown on a 7O yard run from his 30. The Raiders took possession and ran for 50 yards, pushing the Tigers defense down to the 30, they started a threat to the Tigers by making a touchdown and the extra point. In the remaining minutes neither team was able to score. WILLIAM HEARD JOHN DELMEIER RONALD BAHR ROY FORD EDWARD PAI-ME Tackle Fullback End ' Quarterback G'-lard Football ATLANTIC HIGHLANDS O-RUMSON 0 The Junior Varstiy, feeling proud of their win over Keyport, went to meet the Bulldogs. Neither team could get started on a touchdown march. The biggest threat by the Tigers came in the third quarter when Kelleher and Duncan shared in carrying the pigskin for three successive first downs to the Bulldogs 30. It was on the fourth down when the Bulldog defense tightened and stopped the threat. Bill Heard, tackle, switched to the end position and Duncan completed a few passes but the Bulldog backfield stopped them again. Ronald Bahr also missed a pass which might have lightened the Tigers load. The Bulldogs in the remaining minutes of the game took possession ofthe ball andaFreshman broke loose around right end for 70 yards and almost reached pay dirt except for our half back, Roy Ford, who came out of nowhere to stop the fleeing Freshman from scor- ing. The Tigers thought they would have a loss against their record, but Ray Ford was the hero of the game. The Atlantic Highlands Tigers with the record of one win and a tie, ventured to Leonardo to see a surprisingly deep Lion squad. The Lions out' numbered the Tigers 4 to 1. Although the Lions were larger in number, the Tigers knew that only 11 men could play on the field at one time. The team was anxious to get started and couldn't wait for the whistle. The Lions of Leonardo started out with Christman running two touchdowns, in the first half. The Tigers did not get started on the march until the last quarter when Robert Duncan threw nine successive passes to William Heard and Robert Leo- nard for a final march. Robert Leonard scored the Tigers only touchdown. As a finale, Ronald 'Baht' kicked the extra point. The team was successfully coached by Mr. Leon Tepper. CHARLES WECKER ARTHUR KNUTSEN VINCENT GERALD1 EDWARD CONOVER LDWARD MO0Rh Guard Fullback Halfback Guard En The Tigers finished the 1952-53 season with an all-time won-lost record of 17 wins to 4 losses. They started the sea- son strong with twelve straight victories. Although this could not be counted as the most successful year in the history of basketball at Atlantic Highlands High School, it was certainly one of the more thrilling years. Playing against some definitely superior basketball teams, the Tigers never failed to let the opposing teams know they couldn't relax for a moment. As a team they won the Shore Conference Group I Championship with a 10-2 record. In the State Tournament, the Tigers went all the way to the Central Jersey Group I Playoffs where they were upset by Carteret. Hudson, the Tigers' giant center, was a terrific all- around performer who combined magnificent rebounding ability, size and scoring punch in a blend that couldn't miss stardom. Hudson virtually re-wrote the individual scoring records at the Shore--most points for a season, 300, most conversions for a campaign, 86, and most games in which he scored over 20 points, 9, as he enjoyed individual efforts of 46, 37, 34 and 30. With this record behind him, Jim Hudson was unanimously selected for the All-Shore Conference basketball team and All-State Group I. Honorable mention in the 1953 All-Shore Conference basketball team went to the following Tigers: John Bordulis, James Snyder, Joseph Bellevance andMaynard Reed.

Intramurals were under the direction of Miss Betty Kimber. The teams were made up of A and B groups from each homeroom. Miss Kimber scheduled the games to provide competition, not only between the homerooms, but also with l'0li'l' other classes. The following intramural sports were played: volley ball, basketball, soccer, and softball. Other sports en- joyed by the girls were: badminton, table tennis, tumbling, social and square dancing, and apparatus sports. We are proud to have girls in our school that show such fine sportsmanship and cooperation with each other. TUMBLING A?
