CL kv to It was an exciting, long awaited day in September of 1951 as two groups of young students, one from Atlantic Highlands and the other from Highlands, entered this school, which we as one, now call our school. As we put our feet over the threshold, we, as Freshmen, were excited, wide-eyed, and apprehensive of this different atmosphere, especially the upperclass- men and teachers. But we soon learned that they were our friends, helping us to become a part of their school. We began our new life by selecting class officers with Carol Pedersen as Presidentg Hendrik Petersen, Vice-President, and Ian Carter, Secretary-Treasurer. Previous to this election a Freshmen Get-Togetheri' was held, at which time we danced, played games, and ate refreshments, thus enabling us to become better acquainted with our fellow classmates. We suffered many trials and tribulations in becom- ing adjusted to this different sort of life, but the load was made much lighter with the patient help and guidance from our class advisors, Miss Margaret Mc- Crea and Mr. Louis Hyatt. Everyone soon found the upperclassmen weren't so formidable either. We didn't mind wearing beanies and bowing in front of the Seniors for a week, because then it made us feel as though we now were a part of the school. Along with our studies we were quite eager and anxious to participate in the school activities. We did a good job in the annual Magazine Campaign and in preparing a skit for the senior's Halloweien Dance. Some of us joined clubs, such as, Science Club, Glee Club, Junior Red Cross, and the band. We also participated in the annual Jabberwock and were re- presented on the Student Council. In sports, the boys first went out for football where Tom Derby represented the Freshmen on Varsity and quite a few others were on the Junior Varsity. The Freshmen basketball team had an exceptional season of five wins and only one defeat. Mr. Hyatt, who coached the Freshmen, was able to use the extraordin- ary talents of the Freshmen on the Junior Varsity team. The boys were also well represented on our basketball team. Qs! 'DW The girls showed their interest in sports by trying out for the Freshmen cheerleading squad. Patricia Mohr as Captain, with Joyce Corson, Judy Curry, Janet Fiore, Carolyn McTague, Carol Pedersen, Patricia Reut, and Mona Sodosky gave the Freshmen their vigorous spirit, leading to victory. The girls also participated in basketball and softball intramurals. We entered our Sophomore year with confidence, for now there was some experience behind us and we were accustomed to the routine. Soon we found that it wasn't exactly the same, our subjects had become harder and we had more responsibilities along with the privileges. Now that we know almost everyone our interest in all the school affairs increased. To lead us through this great Sophomore year we chose, with a little difficulty at first, our class officers: Arthur Raike, Presidentg Patricia Van Kirk, Vice- President, and Thomas Derby, Secretary-Treasurer. We were fortunate in having as our class advisors, Mr. H. Fenstemacher and Mrs. Rose Hoffmann, who also advised us for the next two years. The students showed their enthusiasm in the be- ginning of the year by obtaining the highest total of any other class in the Magazine Campaign. We were given an ice-cream party at which we had a great time. Our Sophomore Class was well represented in every club. As our interest grew in other things, so it grew in sports with Tom Derby and Jack Kelleher representing us on the Varsity Football team and the other boys on Junior Varsity. In basketball we headed the Junior Varsity team with Donald Monahan as Captain. Tom Derby, Edward Moore, and Arthur Raike showed their talents on the Varsity baseball team with the rest of the boys backing them on Junior Varsity. Of course, the girls again went out for cheering with Joyce Cor- son, Judy Curry, Janet Fiore, Carolyn McTague, Carol Pedersen, and Pat Reut making up the Junior Varsity. After the Christmas holidays and mid-term exams were over, came our most exciting event so far. Now it was our turn to show the school what we could do. In March, the Sophomore class presented the '6Rainbow Rhythm Dance, which was a tremendously huge suc- cess. We played games, danced, ate refreshments, and supplied great entertainment. Everyone had a good time. lu. fa is rv - if ' A Q , ,ff f .' X . 26 l ...1 . . FREWV 7 ' sovnanonis
