IACK MCCABTHY The Treasure Chest, which contains a complete record of the graduating class and the various curricula and extra curricula activities of the Mana- squan High School in 1939, is one of the nicest books the school has pub- lished, It is larger than usual as it contains new features, the school song, the Class Night and Graduation Programs, the Class History and Prophecy as well as original art drawings by members of the class-all of which undoubt- edly add to its value. The publication is made possible by the members of the Class of l939 and the efforts of the staff which included the editor and her associates repre- senting the various senior home rooms: typists Doris Pierce, Helen Combs and Beatrice Draycott, the art editors, and snap shot work by Ted Wilson and his helpers. The financial side of the book, always an important con- sideration, was ably handled by lack McCarthy, lack Legg, Dick Emmons and Clarence Fishler under the guidance of Mr. Oakley. The staff wishes to take this method of expressing its appreciation to the student body as a whole for its cooperation, and especially to those students who gave of their time and effort in writing up material. With your help we have been able to make this a Worth while project. As a staff we believe that because of the able leadership, the firm deter- mination and untiring effort of Miss Beatrice Leitch we have been able to produce a superior annual which will, in the years to come, serve to keep green the memories of school life at Manasquan for both graduates and under graduates. IEAN HOSKINS Nine Aa "EEF CLASS tfwfii Ten CLASS POEM By PRISCILLA RoErzE1. It hardly seems as though it could be true- Alas, that fleeting time we can't delay, Now, filled with all the things to learn and do, Pour crowded years in school have slipped away. Together we have learned to play the game, Learned rules to guide us as we run the race, Together we have won and lost, and learned To meet what comes with honor and with grace. Out of our classroom hours come our drearns, Wings of the mind to life our earth-bound lives. Out of the weary paths of futile toil, Up to the heights for which the brave soul strives. That we might learn to guard our heritage We've worked long hours at tasks that weren't much fun Democracy, to know it at its best, Demands each share in work for other's done. If we can just live up to all we've learned Put in our lives the best of all we've read, The future holds no fear nor doubt for us. Onward together, Class, Life lies ahead!

We feel that your presence here tonight signifies your interest in our class and in our school and we deeply appreciate having you with us. These exercises tonight are but a forerunner of our graduation after which we shall no longer have the guidance of our teachers to aid us in the problems that will arise day after day. We must learn to stand by ourselves and be ready to accept each opportunity as it presents itself. Our four years have been useful ones in which we have learned to work together. We, as a group, stood united and ready to attempt whatever put before us. Our class has ranked high, both in scholastic achievement in athletics. We have made a record for ourselves and the class of '39 long be remembered in the history of this school. Tonight is not the time to look back over the past four years feel sad to think our high school days are near an end, but it is a to rejoice. Rejoice, because a new world is opening before us and a dim of success shines ahead. Each one of us now feels sure that soon that will shine brightly and we shall find our places in the great world. was and will and time light- light Few of us know exactly what lies ahead, yet we all have our own ideas and plans. Some of these will be revealed to you tonight. I hope that you will enter whole-heartedly into the spirit of this program and that our exercises will meet with your favor. Once more l bid you welcome. ln closing let me assure you how deeply we honor and appreciate your presence here tonight. A FAREWELL TRIBUTE Written and Delivered by RICHARD EMMONS During the past four years, our Supervising Principal, Mr. Crosley, our Principal, Dr. Woolson, and the members of our faculty have instilled into us the glorious principle that in service, actuated by an unselfish interest in our fellowmen, lies the key to the greatest happiness, and that the first requisite for service is a character founded upon right, and supported by enough con- viction to render it invulnerable to the ravages of time and chance. The realization of this fact is of greater value than any actual knowledge that we have gained from our years of study, inasmuch as we firmly believe that only a system of education which develops the spirit as Well as the intellect has succeeded in its fundamental purpose. We, the class of 1939, are about to take our first step in citizenship. We realize that all knowledge is not academic, that all of life's lessons are not in books. Our advisers have given us our weights and measures of human endeavor-ideals commensurate with everything high and noble. In our school for citizens we have learned that the just deed, fair play, and the Golden Rule form the equipment for a successful democracy. lf, in the future, the Class of 1939 adds to the radiance of the divine spark within us, may Manasquan High School see its glow and know that to this institution goes much of the honor. May our Alma Mater grow larger and shine more brightly as the lower classes move forward to fill the place which we are leaving for them. So to our Supervising Principal, Mr. Crosley, to our Principal, Dr. Woolson, to the members of our faculty and to our school we pay this farewell tribute. Thirteen CLASS HISTORY OF 1938 Written and Delivered by ALICE LARSEN You may not find the events l am about to relate in the pages of Amer- ican Histories. Nevertheless, l defy anyone to prove that they are not as worthy of mention as any of the deeds performed by the heroes whose names are painted in flaming letters in those same national eulogies. Would you have me prove my words? Then stretch your ear and give heed. INFANCY-Freshman Year ln September, the year nineteen hundred and thirty-five, a handsome and smiling group of one hundred and twenty-five, girls and boys descended upon this ancient institution. What an exciting week followed! Classes, meeting new friends, greeting old ones, looking over our teachers and remarking on their looks, and a score of other exciting things. Near the end of our first week, we had a class meeting and elected officers, Iames Wolfersberger was elected president: Adolph Porto, vice-president: Margaret Stokes, secretary, and Wyndham Peck, treasurer. Our colors were to be Scarlet and White. For a motto we selected, Veritas Omnia Vincit, "Truth Conquers All Things", and as a class flower we chose the Gardenia. lt was all too wonderful for words! High school students at last! The social activities of our class were not numerous, but the annual Freshman Dance and Card Party held on May lst, was one of the most popular and successful events of the year. Finally, our Freshman term was at its end and under the careful direction and guidance of Miss Beatrice Leitch, Miss Eleanor Mathiowetz, Miss Dorothy Robinson and Mr. Paul Davis, we felt we had left a high standard for other classes to follow. CHILDHOOD-Sophomore Year ' A very short vacation and we returned as Sophomores, wise and well acquainted with the ways of the school. Three more years to stay in Mana- squan High. With high hopes and good old 'Squan school spirit, we under- went the important task of electing our class officers for the year. For presi- dent we elected Charles Truaxg vice-president, lack McCarthy: secretary, Richard Emmons, and treasurer, lean Hoskins. The social events consisted mainly of Parent-Teachers Meetings and an- nual class dances. In athletics the class held its own and in several cases members distinguished themselves in basketball, baseball, football, track, golf and many other kinds of sports. Others took an interest in art, music, dra- matics and writing. During this year we made marked progress in both curricula and extra-curricula activities, and under the supervision of Miss Beatrice Leitch, Miss Dorothy Robinson, Miss Eleanor Mathiowetz and Mr. Paul Davis we knew we had passed another milestone and were looking forward with great anticipation to our lunior Year. YOUTH-lunior Year After the summer vacation, we returned as Iuniors-and as such main- tained a great degree of dignity. We entered into activities with even more vim and vigor than we had displayed in preceding year. In the elections we again put forth evidence of good judgment in electing as president, Iack McCarthy5 vice-president, David Brown: secretary, Iessie LaVanceg and treas- urer, Robert Lewis. Our advisers were: Miss Beatrice Leitch, Miss Naomi Chandler, Miss Eleanor Mathiowetz, and Mr. Chauncey Oakley. The social functions commenced with a Card Party sponsored by the Iunior parents. This success was followed by a Christmas Dance. Undoubtedly the most important event of the term was the ordering of our school rings. The time between the ordering and the arrival seemed like years to us. About noon one day news leaked out that the rings had arrived. Was Miss Leitch's room a favorite spot that day? In the afternoon close to eighty proud Iuniors left the building with the most beautiful rings Squan ever had. Good old Santa must have known the expectation that we held in our hearts for our rings came in time for Christmas. In the early spring, our class gave its first evidence of dramatic ability and presented the Iunior Play entitled, "The Whoofenpoofn. This was a suc- Fourteen cess both socially and financially. A "Silver Tea" held for the Mothers of the class gave evidence of our ability to do things with the elite. The climax of the year was the Iunior Prom, which is the farewell ball to the Seniors. The gymnasium resembled a garden with bright-colored chairs, tables and large umbrellas. Streamers of crepe paper in all the pastel shades were strung from a center revolving mirror reflector which had colored lights shining dimly upon it from various positions. Everyone attending had a wonderful time and we justly felt it was the most outstanding social event of cur three years. Our Iunior year had helped us to build a foundation for future happiness and success and we knew that we would enter upon the duties and privileges of our Senior year with a feeling of confidence and satisfaction. OLD AGE-Senior Year September nineteen hundred and thirty-eight found us returning from our summer vacation as Seniors! How proud and important we felt! We soon settled, however, in the regular routine of school life. As a result of our elec- tions: we chose the ever popular, Charles Truax as presidentp a promising young athlete, Alice Pepper, as vice-president: as our secretary we elected Barbara Newman who is quite proficient in writing minutes: and probably our most promising financier, Robert Lewis, as treasurer. Our advisers for our last year in Manasquan High School were: Miss Beatrice Leitch, Mr. Chauncey Oakley and Mr. Ivan Reese. In the fall of this year duty was put aside, and we turned to pleasure for a few hours. Our Hallowe'en Dance one of the big hits of the season. We had a peppy jazz orchestra and every one enjoyed himself to his fullest capacity. Other social activities were two Senior Plays, A Marionette Show, A Magazine Drive, two Card Parties sponsored by the Senior parents and also the chancing off of a ton of coal. During one particular week towards the latter part of March, all classes witnessed a group of smiling individuals, all in their finest array, demurely walking about the halls and class rooms. S-s-h-the pictures for the Treasure Chest were being taken. During the term we saw our football team in action for the last time as high school students. Our Band decked out in Blue and Gray uniforms made a wonderful impression on the Seniors because some of use may never return to visit Manasquan high and witness their swell formations, parading and playing. Our class played an active part in scholastic activities through all four years in high school. We aided in forming clubs and participating in athletic- and orchestral activities. Our school has one of the finest selection of clubs. and societies, one of the best student orchestras, one original and thriving paper, the "Blue and Gray", and many triumphant teams, all of which our cooperation helped to carry on. ' Our class is the first to use the standardized Commencement Announce- ments passed by the Student Government and also the first to wear the original ring seal. Many members of our class have taken part in the Student Government and Court, the Hall Patrol, Honor Society, and many other honorable organi- zations and clubs. Gatherings never to be forgotten will be Class Night Exercises, The Senior Ball, Baccalaureate Service, and finally, Graduation! These evenings of joy and happiness will remain as beautiful memories. At last, after four years, we are graduating. Mlhen we realize that we are to leave school and dear old acquaintances behind us, that great event in our lives does not seem to be such a happy one as we have expected. For some of us, books and studies are laid aside for new adventures in the business world. For others gradu- ation means a continuation of school in a higher institution of learning. The Class of nineteen hundred and thirty-nine, has made an undeniably brilliant record for itself in the annals of the school. It has supported every project launched during its existence. However, it is not merely as a separate class that it wishes to be remembered, it would rather be recalled as a loyal integral part of that great institution, MANASQUAN HIGH SCHOOL. Fifteen w 'TEV crass meat CLASS WILL by Editors Delivered by Iohn Legg We, the Class of 1939, in full possession of a crammed mind, and a well trained memory, and being about to pass out of this sphere of learning, do make, publish, and declare this to be our last Will and Testament, here-by revoking all other and former Wills by us at any time made: To the entire school We leave the example we have set as worthy scholars and blameless students. Our record has been spotless and in all the prnnals of our career we have done no deed, as a class, that we need blush Of. To the community at large we bequeath the influence we have been for the honorable and better things of life: the interest in music, in local dramatics, in charitable drives-all these have contributed to the development of the cul- tural spirit and in all we have taken part and done our share. To the Iunior Class we bestow our richest treasures. Almost too numerous to mention are these same treasures and when the lower classmen hear the recital of rare legacies which fall to their possession, we scarcely expect them to bear up under the shock. To the Iuniors, we do bequeath the honor of oc- cupying the front seats in the Auditorium. fAlas! what regrets the dear Faculty will have when they miss "our bright and shining faces."l Our Senior dignity, our manners, our favor with the teachers, our splendid grades and our tri- umphant exit as the most popular class this school has ever seen--these are the rare treasures that we hand down to the coming Senior Class. But it would not be fair if we withheld other valuables and with great largeness of heart we pass them along, too. Our capacity for fun, our ability to laugh off homework, our goodtimes, our friendships, and our loyalty we do hereby bequeath to the Iuniors, and may they count them among the richest of the legacies they have received. To the present Sophomore Class, we do bequeath the joys of being young and carefree. Enjoy yourselves while you may, for soon enough you will be- come Seniors, and "Seniority" usually means-work! To the present Freshman Class, we do bequeath the fun which our class had during its four high school years. There was never a dull moment and may your four years be as full as ours were. '- To the incoming Freshman Class, we leave the hint that hair-ribbons and brief cases are out of date. To Mr. Crosley, Dr. Woolson and our Senior Advisors, we leave our deep- est appreciation and esteem. Through their guidance we have managed to become Seniors and we feel that the memories of our many activities, difficul- ties, and 'accomplishments should be left to those who helped our class ob- tain the place which it has secured in the hearts of our schoolmates and ac- quaintances. We also leave our extreme gratitude and thanks to all our teach- ers who have aided us during our high school career. And now we come to the following personal bestowals which have been awarded to individuals with complete consideration to the fitness of the reci- pient: To Harry Brevoort and Katherine Pierce, we bequeath Dave Brown's and Elsie Vanderhoef's athletic ability, not that they need it, but then, it may be a help. To George Rogers and Doris Havens we leave Kenneth Chamberlain's and Priscilla Roetzal's talent before the footlights. To lean Irwin and Arthur Kaupe, Alice Larsen and lack McCarthy leave their likeable personalities. King Sargeant's, Ioe Height's and Walter Clayton's gift to Ioe Scudder is their latest book entitled, "How To Be a Careful Driver ln One Easy Lesson." Sixteen L, ,.Y - V - 'Y 'pf CLASS me To Dick Dey we leave Dave Brown's "Iitterbug" ability. Clarence Fishler, Miriam Sutton, and Bill Thorne grant their ability to go steady, to Earl Heyni- ger, Peggy Royale and Irving Bennett. Doris Pierce, Peggy Gifford, and lane Lewis leave their sense of humor to the entire lunior Class. They"ll need it in their Senior year. lean Hoskins and Charles Truax bequeath their leadership and ability to "keep things going" to anyone who needs it. Olga Krott and Harriet Dey present to everyone, who takes delight in criticizing, their famous Slam Books. Virginia Wilhelm and Lillian Buzzell leave to Francis Holgate and loan Wilson their title as "Senior Pals." Barbara Newman, Alice Pepper, and Shirley Thomson leave their changeableness to Claire Eriasconario, Marion lensen, and Ienny Frey. Milton Schneider bequeaths his seriousness to Paul Blain, who, we are sure, can make use of it. Louis Whelan and Paul Nutt give their outstanding brilliance to all the underclassmen, with the hope that they won't have to rely on it alone. To Harold Longyear and Louise Thompson, lack Gaskin and Iane Lewis leave their slim lines. Helen Combs grants her volleyball ability to Esther Lemansky in hopes that she too will become ath- letic. Dorothy Robbins and Herb Camp leave their ability to argue to the next year's P. A. D. Class. Ellen Minier and Carol Sprague bequeath their quietness to Kate Blodis and Molly Eraley. Iohn Wooley and Dick Emmons grant their way with women to Henry Hoffman and Danny Williams. lack Legg be- queaths his speech-making ability to Don Risher who also is presented with one slightly used orchestra. Don gets this gift from none other than "beat-it- out" Sayers. Thea Westphal bestows her sophistication on Matilda Robcke. Norman Brown leaves his haircut and his ability to blush to Bob Van Wart. We're sure Bob will be a class favorite too. Ellen Brandt leaves her position of cashier in the cafeteria to Kay Sprague, while Reba Holman and Bea Dray- cott grant their positions behind the candy counter to Doris Burd and Doris Okerson. Carl Pierce leaves his friendly ways to Frank Newman. Carleton Sacco and Ioe Lemansky leave their height to Douglas Meyers and Robert Benington. Leona Kravitz leaves her joking ability to Elizabeth New- man. lames Robinson bequeaths his good looks to Stanley Kravitz. Adolph and loe Porto leave their golfing ability to Ben Eckman. Robert Lewis bestows upon good at figures. Bob Voorhees leaves his social position to his brother who will keep up the family name. Ted Wilson and Robert Carr leave their stylish way of dressing to Ed Palmer and George Conklin. Bette Shaak leaves her giggle to all the fun-loving luniors. Robert Bossett wills his memories of Washington to Sammie Franklin. Sam's fond of a good time, too, Fred Morton leaves his fondness of hospitals to any lunior having an interest in this profession. Mar- ion Brisben leaves her noisiness to Anna Combs. Alfred Booth leaves his fondness of milk to Iennings Beckwith, We leave Betty Cook's surprising ways to Pat Whelan and Grant Ehret's odd ways to Herman Eitzner. Lucille Ander- son and Iames Bennett leave their over--whelming energy to Rhoda Rey- nolds and Wesley Moon. Wyndham Peck leaves his fondness of baseball to Ruben Segall. Dorothy Disbrow and Paul Zelek grant their brain-matter to Stanley Patterson and Ruth White. Malvin Artley bestows his violin ability to Iohn Zawyrt, who needs a pastime so 'tis said. The other members of the class leave their individual traits and char- acteristics to all underclassmen in hopes that they will be appreciated and! used with as much success as they have been during our four high school years. Thus we the Class have heard the call, ln full accordance with the law, Have signed and sealed this last decree In presence of the Faculty. Witnesses. HONORABLE STEPHEN I. PETROKUBI lUDGE MATTHEW L. CIRCOLO Seventeen CLASS PROPHECY Written and Delivered by LEONA KRAVITZ ln the summer of 1949, Barbara Coffman and l, directors of a dramatic school, residing in a New York City apartment, decide to take an automobile trip through various parts of our country-for the sole purpose of getting in touch with the many classmates whom we have not seen nor heard of since graduation from Manasquan High School. Starting early in Iune-in our Rolls-Royce car-with Dick Emmons. editor of the New York Times, as our chauffeur and escort for the occasion, we first drive down to Manasquangwhich we have not visited for several years. We arrive in the early evening-and as we stop at the corner of Taylor Avenue and Main Street, we notice a new super-garage on our left-with the name, "Robert Voorhees Garage". displayed in brilliant electric lights. We learned that Bob specializes in Ted Wilson's "Swish" cars. His chief sales- man, and mouthpiece, is Carleton Sacco and his best customer, Herbert Davis. Whenever Iohn Wooley, the town's hottest newspaper reporter finds he is slipping as far as new tips go, he drops in on his old pal, Alfred Booth and also asks his able secretary, Margaret Devlin, out to dinner. Under Bob's cars we may find tinkering George Foster, Clark Martin. and Reginald Free- stone. At the local playshop we find Kenny Chamberlin. as Romeo and Priscilla Roetzel, as Iuliet in Carol Sprague's version of Shakespeare's popular master- piece. Bill Thorne is stage manager with Ruth Iohnson and Eva Sylvester as Inake-up artists. Thea Westphal is in charge of costumes. Press agents for this group are Winnie Mills and Frank Hurley. Next week's feature at the Algonquin will be Malvin Rubinoff Artley and his singing violin, playing to the accompaniment of the charming Miss Ellen Brandt. Besides these two notables will be the Swing Sultans under the direction of Henry "Bussy" Sayrs. The vocalists will be Iane Lewis and lack Gaskin, singing and swaying to the tune of, "You'll see a lot of me." Master of Ceremonies, lack Legg will feature in a jitterbug contest with Barbara Newman and Fred Morton. Leav- ing Manasquan, we drive on to Philadelphia. At the Paramount Theater we are surprised to find Peggy Stokes, Iames Stewart Robinson and Lillian Lane Buzzell, appearing in a stage hit entitled, "PegqY Stokes Rides Again". Breck- inridge Iones III is the director. On location No. 2 can be heard Shirley Thom- son singing Richard Oteldt's arrangement of "Night and Day", aided by the Duke Trio-Buck Thompson. Iack McCarthy, and Norman Brown. Photoge rapher for this selection is Robert H. Bossett. Script girl here is Miriam Sutton. ln Washington, the first thing to meet our eyes in the Corcoran Art Gallery are works of Marion Brisben and Dorothy Robbins. For several of Dot's paint- ings we find she has chosen for her model Virginia Wilhelm. who depicts a small, young society deb and Robert Lewis as the answer to a maiden's prayer, As the typical American business man, Marion has chosen, Carl Pierce, as her model. Alice Larsen is now posing for Petty and Iessie LaVance is designing her wardrobe. Spanning the Potomac, we see a new bridge, the construction of which is under the supervision of our own Grant Conover. Arriving at the Library of Congress we find Katherine Hughes doing research work, and Senator Dave Brown and Congressman Herbert Camp hard at work on campaign speeches. Grant Ehret and Betty Cook are heads of the Architectural Department in charge of building a new Children's Recreational Center. On the outskirts of Miami we stop at an attractive tea room. Much to our surprise we find Mildred Reiss and Alethea Stewart advancing to greet us. At a near-by table we see Pearl Reynolds and Lillian Kessler who are now operating a novelty shop on the boardwalk. They tell us that Beatrice Draycott is the owner of a beauty parlor, which is doing a thriving business. Her assistant, Madeline Iohnson is immensely interested in Ensley Hurley. city horticulturist. ln one of the model suburban homes of Miami, we find lying in a ham- mock, a lackadaisical young man, Wyn Peck, waiting for his pretty young wife, Alice Pepper, to bring him a glass of iced lemonade. Milton Schneider is living in a perisphere of his own, and has taken many trips to Mars with the aid of Walt Clayton's taxis. Eighteen While strolling on the boardwalk we meet a fine-looking gentleman who approaches us with the idea of taking a trip to Bermuda. After a few minutes of conversation, we are surprised to learn that the persuasive man is none other than our old class president, Charles Truax. After purchasing tickets and placing our car aboard the steamship, we find that the captain of this liner is Iames Bennett. lim looks very dignified in his uniform. We are cer- tainly pleased to learn that Clarence Fishler is the ship's purser. Clarence has a hard job taking care of all foreign exchanges but he says he doesn't mind the work because he deals with such notables as Iohn P. Holmes. one of New York's leading brokers. ln charge of Athletics, aboard the luxurious liner are Raymond Iohnson. one of the few who were appointed to the All- American Football Team and Iean Hoskins, the new olympic swimming champion. Head waiter aboard the "Monarch of Bermuda" is Ike Richardson. After a delightful trip, we finally arrive at our destination. Here we chance to hire as guide, Harold Showers. who points out to us an exclusive girls' school which is operated by our original master mind, Dorothy Disbrow. Dorothy says she is having a wonderful time managing and directing the activities. ln the midst of the business section, Harold points out to us Doctor Ioe Height's office, where Nancy Mehler is employed as nurse and Margaret Iustice as secretary. That evening, we are invited to attend a dinner and dance at the British Embassy. To our amazement, we find the Attorney Gen- eral's wife to be our gracious lady, Reba Holman. Reba is doing splendid work entertaining her guests with specialty dances by King Sargent. As we look to the right we find two good-looking men who are attired in full dress uniforms. We are happy to learn that one of them is Iohn Horne, commander- in-chief of the Bermuda Police Force, while the other is the noted statesman and diplomat Paul Zelek. My, My, there are so many celebrated persons here this evening that we don't know where to focus our attention next. As it is late it is necessary for us to leave our charming hostess so that we shall be prepared for our last day in Bermuda. When we arrive at the hotel, tired and weary after an eventful day, the clerk, Robert Carr, informs us that there is a message from the garage man, Harry Trotter, saying that our car, which we had left there the day before, was ready for use. Early the next morning, We started visiting the interesting sights on the outskirts of the city. Soon we find a huge white building with the name of Porto Brothers Golf Club Manu- facturing Company, in large letters. As that name appears to be very famil- iar, we stop and go inside. Here we find several familiar faces. Acting as secretaries, are Doris Pierce, Helen Combs, Ellen Morton. and Ellen Minier. The firm's business manager is Willard Skellinger. Leaving our class mates, we return to the boat where we set sail for Norfolk, Va. Arriving in the city, we are greeted by photographers, Edward Walzer and Paul Nutt. Winnie Mills and Lucille Anderson, star reporters for the Vir- ginia Daily, appear on the scene and are eager to write a story concerning the whereabouts of our senior class. Ianet Markle, who has replaced Dorothy Thompson as the world's most outstanding woman columnist, is also on hand to greet us. While riding through the business section of Norfolk enroute to Baltimore, we encounter the former Dot Williams and Ruth Iohnson who are also visitors. After a few minutes of conversation we learn that Willard Em- bley has just been appointed Secretary of Agriculture. They tell us that Elsie Vanderhoef and Betty Shaak are directors of a new magazine entitled "Cheering and Why." Aiding them in this undertaking are Peggy Gifford as publicity manager, Olga Krott as business manager, and Haniet Dey as advertising manager. Soon we depart for Baltimore. Here to our amazement, we find Louis Whelan, is operating an ultra-modern television shop. As we approach the store we hear a newsflash coming in saying that Edward Gilford, forest ranger, has just saved the lives of two social workers, Mary Flippen and Nellie Watson, while they were touring through the Earl Heulitt forest reser- iilaticgn. Dr. Ioseph Lemansky, a noted chiropodist was the the first to discover t e ire. Having accounted for every one of our classmates we drive back to New York, tired but happy, to be able to report that the class which graduated from Manasquan High School in 1939, has achieved financial and personal success beyond all our hopes.

R ichard Ofeldt Recessional, Triurnphal March from "Aida," Twenty Verdi Orchestra cmss me GRADUATION ADDRESS OF WELCOME Written and Delivered by IOHN McCARTHY Tonight, as we meet for the last time in the hall of our Alma Mater, we are the closest together that we shall ever be as the class of '39. Tomorrow comes the parting of the ways and we shall encounter the experience which you, our guests, have had when we go forth into the busy world to take our places and assume our responsibilities. Ordinarily we would meet this occa- sion with happiness and eager curiosity, but tonight we struggle against the bonds of friendship, love, and devotion which have grown during these four years between us, the class of '39, and our faculty and fellow students. We are detained by these forces and we linger to spend this last happy hour together. We extend a warm and cordial welcome to you, our guests and friends, and invite you to partake of our happiness and sorrow. It is fitting and proper as we leave our Alma Mater, that we consider, and appreciate the great benefits and help which she has given us. America as the greatest democratic nation of the world regards with pride one of her greatest ideals, that of individuality. Americans are looked upon as individ- uals each one in himself a potential leader. People in foreign lands are looked upon as a mass of humans subject to dictatorial rule, not rulers of their own minds. Each American has great qualities within him which may be beneficial to himself and to his country. We encourage the development of these quali- ties by giving every one free education in various institutions which include scores of universities, night-schools, public high schools and elementary schools. Our school has bestowed this privilege to the greatest extent in offer- ing every possible opportunity to its students. In times such as these, when several of the foreign countries are being governed by dictators, socialists, communists and other radical groups, our great world democracies are in danger of attack. Many of us believe that in order to protect and preserve our democracy we must be familiar with the way that it functions and we must be made to see its many advantages and benefits. This can only be done through our schools and homes. Our school has done more than its share to teach the principles of self-government. We have the best student government organization of any school in our section. It is modeled closely after our National Government so that our students may become better acquainted with the functions and benefits of our governmental System. Education lies not only in the text-book and class-room but also in the warm human contacts and friendships among our students, in recreational activities and social events, and in a competitive athletic program. Again our school offers these advantages in every possible way. Thus these two things, work and play, apparently so different are really working toward the same goal mainly to develop a well-rounded citizen who will be an inspira- tion and a help to his neighbors. Before you tonight you see a group of young men and women reluctant at parting but eager to assume duties as good citizens in our democracy. Again We, the class of 1939, welcome you and trust that you see for us a bright future and the continuance of a progressing world. Twenty-one 49. "EET CLASS assi! WASHINGTON TRIP I MIRIAM sU'rroN At five o'clock on the third day of April we seniors assembled in the audi- torium of the high school eagerly waiting to start on our long-anticipated trip to the nation's capitol. Beside the busses, our parents stood surrounded by suit cases and lunches, waiting for us to say good-bye. When we were at last ready to leave, the hands of the clock pointed to 5:20. The first day of our glorious trip had begun. We arrived in Washington at 11:30. After lunch in Potomac Park we visited the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, where the paper money and stamps of the United States are printed, then we viewed the tropical beauty of the Pan-American'Building, the center of the embassies of all the American republics. Next we became fascinated by the mysteries of the universe and the sound waves produced by our own voices at the National Academy of Science. The United States Capitol, the last building on our afternoon tour, proved of particular interest, for we were allowed to see Congress in session. Were some of us, especially Miss Leitch, thrilled by a sight of Vice President Garner? At night the Congressional Library and the Capitol Building were great white palaces: the Lincoln Memorial was an indescribable tribute to a truly great man. The next day the magnificent Washington Cathedral under construction on Mount St. Alban impressed us with its beauty and spacious chapels. The Franciscan Monastery, with its gloomy Catacombs and Purgatory Chapel was an unusual experience for all of us. We greatly enjoyed the beautiful draw- ings displayed at the Freer and Corcoran Galleries of Art. From the top of the Washington Monument, we had an extensive view of the city and could fol- low for many miles the course of the Potomac River. Many of us took photo- graphs from the barred windows. After passing through Georgetown and Alexandria we arrived at Arling- ton National Cemetery, a melancholy sight with its beautiful Tomb of the Unknown Soldier and pillared Amphitheater. Mount Vernon with its spacious lawns and lovely gardens reminded us of the Father of our Country and his beloved wife. Before we left Washington, we visited several very interesting buildings, the Old and New Museums, the Aircraft Building, the Smithsonian Institute, and the stately White House with its formal reception rooms and beautiful furnishings. On the way home we stopped at Annapolis and saw a drill of the students. The trip will surely never be forgotten by any of us. Truly its purpose has been fulfilled for the experience has led us to a new under- standing of our responsibilities and has inspired us with a desire to become better citizens in our great democracy.

REESE We, the Class of l939, have reached a milestone in life's journey. This, our Senior year will long be remembered. During the four years of our high school career we have been guided by capable advisers, three of whom have left, Miss Eleanor Mathiowetz, Miss Eleanor Crafts, and Mr. Paul Davis. Our class has been far from ordinary. We have excelled in our studies as well as in athletics. Those students which achieved scholastic honors were: Peggy' Stokes, Dorothy Disbrow, lean Hoskins, Priscilla Roetzel, Alice Larson, Reba Holman, Beatrice Draycott, Katherine Hughes, Paul Zelek, lack McCarthy, Robert Lewis, and Dick Emmons. Members of our class, outstand- ing in athletics were: Elsie Vanderhoef, Iean Hoskins, Betty Shaak, Doris Pierce, Helen Combs, Alice Pepper, Alice Larsn, Barbara Newman, Miriam Sutton, Reba Holman, Ellen Brandt, Margaret Gifford, Dave Brown, lack Mc- Carthy, Robert Bossett, Harold Thompson, Raymond Iohnson, lack Holmes, Wyndham Peck, Fred Morton and Dick Ofeldt. We were also prominent in many of the other extra-curricular activities such as band, orchestra, operettas and journalism. Our finances were built up this year by presenting two senior plays, two dances, two card parties, movie benefits and other activities. Our Washington Trip was a tremendous success and it was of educa- tional value as well as social importance. Class night, Baccalaureate and Graduation brought our active year to a close and the door of high school learning closes behind us. We, as a class, extend our best wishes for success to the undergraduates who will become Manasquan's future Seniors.

This was the first attempt to put on a play two nights in a row with a different cast each night. As a play within a play, it was a flashback to the old-fashioned melo- drama which was so popular years ago and which has been revised as a device to add variety to modern stage entertainment. The title "Don't Darken My Door", is taken from the furious scene in which the uncle orders the lead- ing man from the house in order to make his niece appreciate the fact that the course of true love never runs smooth. In their respective turns, Priscilla Roetzel and Lillian Buzzell took the part of Poppy, maid of all work, who was romantically inclined. Poppy continu- ally spurned Alec, a clumsy gardener, who couldn't figure out what romance was. This part was played by Frank Hurley and Bob Voorhees. Iean Hos- kins and Virginia Wilhelm played the part of Rosemarie, who couldn't be interested in the young men who were acquaintances because they had no romance in their soul. Rosemarie has been influenced by the novels of Iane Perkins, contemporary writer. Dick Emmons and Robert Lewis played the role of Tom, the suitor, who didn't have enough romantic imagination to please Rosemarie. When lane Perkins played by Reba Holman and Ellen Brandt, becomes an unexpected guest through a touring accident at the home of Roger Kent, Rosemarie's uncle, played by Kenneth Chamberlin and Herbert Camp, she helps Tom to win Rosemarie's love. A few comic situations are added by the neighborliness and curiosity of the old maids Who live next door. Louisa was played by Lucille Anderson and Leona Kravitz and her sister, Susie, by Iessie LaVance and Dorothy Robbins. The play proved to be a success both dramatically and financially. WINNIE MILLS Ice-men are not highway-men, but often they're low-weigh men. Fifty-four 'W cmss WW STOCKS AND BUGS "Stocks and Bugs" was an irresponsible farce of domesticity at its craziest and was presented in the auditorium on Friday, March 24, by the seniors. The main lead, Mrs. Bertha Williamson, played by Priscilla Roetzel, was a combination of Mary Boland, Gracie Allen and Billie Burke. This was Priscilla's first lead in a play and she handled the part with a fine under- standing and ability. Malvin Artley, who was a newcomer to the Manasquan High School stage, played the role of Uncle Mordecai, who was very deaf and likely to exaggerate. Mortimer Williamson, played by Fred Morton, was the studious son who was very much interested in bugs. Fred had not ap- peared in a play since he was in grammar school, but this did not prevent him from doing a good job of his part. Iackie Williamson, the eldest son, athletically inclined, was played by Dick Emmons. lean Hoskins had the part of Sally Williamson, the popular daughter who fell in love with Dr. Iones, the new neighborhood physician, Charles Truax took the part of the doctor, doing very nicely in first appearance. Both Dick Emmons and lean Hoskins were old timers on our stage and they handled their parts nicely. Adolph and loe Porto as the twins, gardener and valet added a spot of comedy to the play. Others who took part in the play were: Nancy Mehler as the nurse, Margaret Devlin, Iessie LaVance, Virginia Wilhelm, and Lillian Buzzell as the guests. This play was written by the dramatic director, Mr. Ivan Reese. WINNIE MILLS People used to take their affairs to hearty now they take them to court. Fifty-five QQ wiv?

CLAIRE FIASCONARO The class of l94O under the supervision and guidance of Miss Margaret Smith, Mr. Bishop Oxenford, Mr. Mathew Ciricolo, and Mr. Stephen Petrokubi, have taken a prominent and leading part in all school activities. The many social events of the Iunior class have been great successes. We started the year with a play entitled "Mama's Baby Boy" directed by Mr. Reese and Miss Smith. Following this came two movie benefits at the Algon- quin Theater in Manasquan, Next came a dance, and last our greatest affair the lunior Prom in April. Many of our students have shown their scholastic ability by being on the first and second honor rolls. Members of our class are very prominent in the Student Government, hall patrol, school paper, glee clubs, and other organi- zations. On the field of athletics many of our class members are outstanding, these being, Katherine Pierce, Helen Emmons, Elizabeth Newman, Evelyn Anderson, Mildred Prevost, Elmyra Chamberlin, Margaret Applegate, Marion Schroder, Earl Heyniger, Harry Brevoort, Ruben Segal, lrving Bennett, Frank Newman, Herman Pitzner, Iohn Tilton, and Douglas Myers. From this brief summary We see that the class of l94U will develop into an outstanding senior class. SAM FRANKLIN By the time you supply all your Wants you won't Want much.

HANCE MORTON No, the eighth graders did not go to Washington in the Spring, but they did go to New York on their class trip. The class hired a Rollo Bus and fol- lowed their own schedule of tours that proved both educational and enjoy- able. Perhaps, to most ot the class, the N. B. C. studio tour was the greatest attraction. The whole trip was one long to be remembered, especially since the group made a short visit to St. Patrick's Cathedral before starting the bus! homeward. The Manasquan Iunior-Senior sectional P. T. A. meeting in April was in charge of the Iunior High. As a result of the attendance contest held between the seventh and eighth grades, the seventh grade treated the eighth grade to lolly pops. My, they were good! By the Way, the eighth grade also won the award given annually by the P. T. A. to the homeroom with the highest representation at the general meet- ings of the P. T. A. throughout the year. During the year the Iunior Dramatic Club presented a two-act play en- titled "Five Hours to Go." The eighth graders who participated did a noble piece of Work in this production. As a homeroom group the class enjoyed trips to the pool in Asbury Park during the winter months. The class is eagerly looking forward to the graduation activities which will point toward the freshman year in high school. A LOIS BRACCO Daily worries are either stepping stones or stumbling blocks.

GRACE TAYLOR MISS ELIZABETH DUPRAT MR. PAUL SHER The Manasquan High School Student Government this year has been most active. The Council is patterned after our National Government and consists of a Senate and House of Representatives. There are forty members elected by home rooms and classes. The officials are elected in September by the entire school vote. There are also eleven permanent committees each having definite duties to perform. There have been many outstanding accomplishments in the l938-1939 school year. The creation and encouraging of school spirit among the pupils, and the sponsoring of school improvement and preservation campaigns have been outstanding efforts on part of the Association. The Council has also established the official graduation announcements. The inauguration of a Wel- fare committee marks special progress along the path of consideration for others as Well as ourselves. Then too, the Council is striving with tentative plans for the installation of trophy cabinets to display the various awards gained through student effort. The Student Government has been prominent in both State and County Associations, having had the official position of treasurer of the County Coun- cil, and as a step further it has applied to the National Governments Asso- ciation for membership. The Council of 1939 feels it has successfully fanned the progressive flame as those before it have. NANCY ANN C. MEHLER The average train of thought carries no freight. Sixty-six 'Y vp?

CLARENCE FISHLER Advisors DR. MARION C. WOOLSON MISS CATHERINE WIRTH This year Manasquan High School admitted thirteen Seniors and five Iuniors to the Beta Omega Chapter of the National Honor Society of Secon- dary Schools. These students, added to the seven Seniors who were already members makes a total of twenty-five members. This society was organized in nineteen hundred and thirty-seven under the direction of Dr. Woolson. It has been very active this year, holding its meetings every Monday at three o'cloclc in the School library. No honor conferred by the school is exceeded by that represented by this society, therefore, it serves as a worthy goal for every student. The faculty select the students on the basis of leadership, scholarship, service, and character, the four fundamental virtues required for membership in this organization. Not more than fifteen percent of the seniors and five percent of the juniors can be elected each year. The members must be in the upper third of their class to be eligible for membership. The following seniors were elected last year: Dorothy Disbrow, lean Hos- kins, Leona Kravitz, Robert Lewis, lack McCarthy, Nancy Mehler and Alice Pepper. Those chosen this year were: Seniors: Malvin Artley, Margaret Dev- lin, Beatrice Draycott, Richard Emmons, Clarence Fishler, Reba Holman, Katherine Hughes, Iessie LaVance, Barbara Newman, Priscilla Roetzel, Carle- ton Sacco, Peggy Stokes, and Miriam Sutton: Iuniors: Claire Fiascanaro, Doris Haven, Arthur Kaupe and Robert Morris. The present director and adviser of this organization who has done much to promote its success is Miss Catherine Wirth, the school librarian.

The annual Christmas Carolinq in the corri- dors and Christmas Cantata, "When the Christ Child Came" by Clokey were events of unusual interest to the students. The noteworthy achievement of the year was, however, the highly suc- cessful operetta, "Hollywood Extra" by Charles Wakefield Cadman with Mr. Ivan Reese as stage director and Mrs. Rankin director of music. The story behind this production was the struqqles ot a small town qirl who wins a movie contest and tries to win recognition in Hollywood. The principles were lack Leqq, Doris Okerson, Katherine Blodis, Andrew Combs, Shirley Thomson, Paul Blaine, Anne Collins, Georqe Rogers, lohn Wooley, and Rob- ert Voorhees. Manasquan High School was represented in the All-State Chorus by Shirley Thomson, Mildred Prevost, Anne Collins, and Andrew Combs. This chorus sanq at the annual Teachers' Convention held in Atlantic City.

On February 24th-25th, the Boys of the Glee Club helped to present an operetta, "Hollywood Extra." This production proved to be one of the most successful affairs to be presented in the history of the school. Some of the, selections rendered this year are "The Blind Ploughmann by Clarke: "The King of France" by Wakeman and Wilson: "Tramp, Tramp, Tramp" by Herbert and Baldwin, "Bedouin Love Song" by Pensuiti, "How Can I Leave Thee" by Kuckenp "Stars of the Summer Night" by Woodbury, and "Eight Bells" by Winslow. Last year, our number of boys decreased due to the graduation, and we lost many good voices. This year there has been a good response from some of the freshman boys and the upper classmen, as Well, which has helped to fill these vacancies. The Boys' Glee Club offered their last splendid renditions in a concert on May 4th, the Baccalaureate Service, and the Commencement Exercises. ANDREW C.

A number of new instruments were received for school use, this year. Also, Dr. Milton Papereth donated a sousaphone which, is a great asset to the band. Another asset to the band are the new uniforms purchased this year, The uniforms consist of blue capes with gray linings, blue sweaters, gray pants and blue caps. The leader wears a white sweater, white pants, gray cape with blue lining, and gray military cap. These uniforms have certainly had a great effect on the appearance of the band. The most important activity of the band besides actual playing, has been the raising of money to pay for the new uniforms. Among the things done to raise money were: advertising in the back of a truck for football games: chancing off a radio and camera, movie benefit weeks, faculty vs. seniors basketball games and dancing after school. The bill is about paid and we sincerely hope to have it off our minds as soon as possible. This, the third successful year of the band is one to be long remembered.

CHAUNCEY OAKLEY Manasquan High School's Hall Patrol had the most successful year ever recorded. The patrolmen were composed of selected members of the Iunior and Senior classes. There were thirty members on the patrol. lmportant activities on the part of the hall patrol were more efficient fire drills and hall regulations. Trooper Galvein of the State Police force visited the patrol in several of their meetings. State police armbands were given to patrolmen for badges. A significant accomplishment of the hall patrol was the surprisingly low number of tickets for violations which had to be given. Since twenty of the group are graduatingithey leave behind best wishes for a finer patrol squad in the years to come, so that the problem in the school will eventually cease due to the efficiency of the squad. The remarkable success of this year's patrol squad was due to the guid- ance of Mr. Oakley, and the cooperation of the students and teachers.

JUNIOR PLAY On the evenings of December l6th and 17th, 1938, the Class of 1940 spon- sored its first three-act dramatic production, which was a comedy entitled "Mama's Baby Boy", by Charles George. Separate casts were prepared for each evening's performance, and both were equally successful, playing to crowded, enthusiastic houses each night, Much valuable and lasting stage experience was gained through the patient direction of Miss M. Margaret Smith and Mr. lvan Reese, teachers of English in the Manasquan High School. The casts were socially united in a successful endeavor to bring pleasure to the audience. The action in the play took place on a spring afternoon in the living room of the Widow McLeau's home in Fort Wayne. The Friday night cast was made up of Peggy Royael, Claire Fiascanaro, lean Irwin, Rhoda Reynolds, Arthur Kaupe, George Rogers, Doris Haven, Helen Emmons, Fred Patterson, Marion Iensen, and Bill Voorhees. The members of the Saturday night cast were Ioan Wilson, Kay Sprague, Aliene Goss, Molly Fraley, Paul Blain, Don Risher, Elise Crane, Francis Hogate, Bill Anderson, Camilla Eggiman, and Iirnmie Miller.

They were Lillian Buzzell, Kenneth Chamberlain, Doris Haven, lean Hoskins, lean lrwin, Marion Iensen, Leona Kravitz, Rhoda Reynolds, George Rogers, Fred Patterson, Virginia Wilhelm and loan Wilson. Three one-act plays are planned to be given, also a play on Memorial Day entitled, "American on Trial".

We meet twice a month, at which time we discuss the value ot dramatics, and why we have them. lt is important for us to know these tacts, so that we may have the real inspiration tor acting. At first we tried writing our own original plays, but they did not work up to our ideals, since some ot us were busy and interested in a play called, "The Truth for a Day", in which we were acting at the time. Elvira Ratfetto, lacqueline Egelin, Patsy Miller, Iune Conover, Helen Has- sentuls, Aimee Hawes, and our adviser gave much of their time practicing for this play which was given tor the student body in the auditorium, Febru- ary ll, 1939. We were sure of our tirst success when the students gave their applause. We have enjoyed our club this year as we have learned much about dramatics and the inspiralion we have received leads us to hope to give more plays in the next school year and to wish tor future success.

BROWN The study of lournalism is one which brings large reward to all who at- tempt it with enthusiasm and who have even a faint conception of its im- portance in the plan of modern society. lt brings the student into closer con- tact with the mechanism of news, the elements of propaganda, and the effect of both on public opinion. Iournalism gives the student increased power of observation and analysis and improves his ability to express himself clearly, accurately and vividly. Members of the lournalism group are: Lucille Anderson, David Brown, Harriet Dey, Margaret Devlin, Dick Emmons, Clarence Fishler, Madeline Iohnson, Ruth lohnson, Margaret Iustice, Lillian Kessler, Olga Krott, Alice Lar- sen, lessie LaVance, Robert Lewis, Nancy Mehler, Winnie Mills, Barbara New- man, Alice Pepper, Pearl Reynolds, Willard Skellinger, Alethea Stewart, Miriam Sutton, Eva Sylvester, Harry Trotter, Elsie Vanderhoef and Paul Zelek. All members of the journalism class participate in the School Pages of the Asbury Park Press. This School Page plan was first evolved in l928 by the Asbury Park Press whereby 2 pages once a week are given to the schools along the coast for news concerning their activities.

MISS CATHERINE WlRTH The Library Council was organized in the l936-37 school year by Miss Catherine Wirth, librarian for those interested in library work. The club has a restricted membership chosen from the Senior, Iunior and Sophomore classes. Those desiring to apply for membership must first place their application with the adviser and when a vacancy occurs their names come before the council for a vote of acceptance. The meetings are held during the third period of every Tuesday, at which time members discuss problems and receive library instruction. At this time too, plans are made for social activities. The program of the club is so designed that members are given an op- portunity to have charge of the library during assigned periods. This provides a splendid foundation for possible future work in libraries. Each year the council enjoys an educational trip to New York. ln past years, members have visited such places of interest as the New York Public Library, the New York Times Building, Scribners Press and Radio City. Nu- merous parties are given during the year to complete a splendid social program. In addition to this the Council gave a play entitled "A Christmas Tale" as an assembly program. The following are members of the council: Iennings Beckwith, Ellen Brandt, Harry Brevoort, Beatrice Draycott, Dick Emmons, Earl Heyniger, Reba Holman, lean Hoskins, Katherine Hughes, Irma lackson, Gordon Miller, Rob- ert Morris, George Rogers, Peggy Royael and Arthur Kaupe, GEORGE ROGERS The modern answer to "Do you love me still?" is "I didn"t know you had a still".

This organization is one of the largest in the school with an enrollment of fif- ty-two members. Our first thought of others was the Thanksgiving contribu- tions to the hospitals. Following this we filled Red Cross boxes at Christmas- with toys for young children of foreign lands. Another offering at Christmas was the regular filling of stockings for needy families in connection with our Health Center. These, we found, were greatly appreciated. Several of our members went as representatives to the various County Round Tables Meetings in other parts of Monmouth County. These meetings proved very interesting and helpful in many ways. Our bi-monthly meetings have been enjoyed and looked forward to. Much of our time was devoted to the making of scrap books for the children in hos-1 pitals. This year we held our first initiation of new members. They nobly ac- cepted their fate and became loyal members of this club. The largest activity of the year is the Mother and Daughter Banquet held during Mother's Day week, when we entertain our Mothers and attempt to show them what we are doing. The Y. W. C.

Another activity of the Commercial Club was the production of a play, "A Saturday Morning in an Office", which was presented in assembly. Members of the Club made a trip to New York City in May to visit large business offices, Wall Street and various other points of interest.

MISS DOROTHY ROBINSON The Knit 'n Purl Club was organized two years ago under the direction ot Miss Dorothy Robinson. The purpose ot this club is to teach beginners how to knit. Those who already know how to knit are given an opportunity to try various articles such as hats, skirts, dresses, or anything they may wish to make. The girls are not limited to knitting only, so some work on Crocheting and weave-its. Since there are many girls who know nothing about knitting they are taught to cast on stitches, to knit, to purl, to increase and to decrease stitches. This is all the basic information tor knitting anything, This year the membership of the club was limited to thirteen girls. All of the members have taken an active interest in the work. The club meets on the second and fourth Monday ot each month during the activities period. Meetings are mostly informal and after a brief business meeting the members continue to work on their sweaters or other articles as the case may be. Members of the club are as follows: Norma LaVance, Mary Ella Flippin, Inetta Munroe, Patricia Cheek, Patricia Watson, Elizabeth Cook, Roselle Mor- ton, Phyllis Brewer, Helen Richter, Conelia Hamilton, Doris Carmer and Helen Clark.

The club members aim to develop a sound ability to reason, clear and shrewd foresight, logical and deep thinking, and good clean sportsmanship. lt is planned that club and inter-scholastic tournaments will be held, and the direc- tor and the members hope to build up a chess team which will be strong enough to compete with those from other schools, to the credit and glory ot Manasquan High School. Next year, the club may be tar enough advanced to enter the Continental Correspondence Chess Tournament, in which the club sponsor is an active player. The lessons and demonstration ot various chess moves are made with the help of a large wall board with movable pieces, made by the club's director and given to the club members in the interest ot the Royal Game. Various expert players in the fields ot both chess and checkers will be asked to' devote a little time to the furtherance ot the club.

CHAUNCEY OAKLEY The purpose of this club is to further the knowledge of our already air- minded boys, and provide an open forum for their discussion of original de- signs and ideas. This club has been functioning since i932 each year growing larger, until this year it became so great that it was split up into two groups, the freshman aviation club and the regular aviation club. ln both of these units there have' been many models brought in by the boys. When a plane is brought in such as this the builder describes the advantages, and disadvantages of this typet of craft and relates his experience with this special type. The regular club has been very fortunate this year, in having several experienced gas model build- ers in their enrollment, these members belong to the Winged Demons Club of Manasquan. These members have entertained the club many times, with tales of their experiences at Gas Model meets of last summer. At times during the year the club adjourned to the football field, to wit- ness the flight of some models constructed by club members. The club is planning in conjunction with the freshman club, a trip to New- ark airport, a trip which will show them airplanes under actual conditions of doing their part in our great network of airlines, and also give them a betten view of ground crews that help keep these great planes in the air.

The Drivers Club is under the direction of Mr. Ciricola. During our meet- ings, which are held at regular intervals, such topics as "VV e Drivers", "Rules and Regulations", "Highway Hazards-Their Cause and Cure", have been read and discussed, An effort has been made to familiarize the members with the Various parts of the modern automobile. Mr. Ciricola has obtained many pamphlets from other high schools and organizations, to give us a clearer picture of the nature of the course. On February 27, 1939 Corporal McKinley visited us bringing with him equipment to test our reaction time in case of an emergency.

'mr' cmss' mm INDUSTRIAL ARTS Adviser ...A.,,,,,.,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,.,.,,,,A. MR. FISH About two hundred boys are enrolled in this course two periods a week. Socially desirable habits and attitudes, the common objectives of general education, are stressed rather than sole emphasis being placed upon skills and trade information, as is done in the vocational schools, where the one object in view is trade preparation. The students receive instruction in woodwork, wood-burning, metal work, electric wiring, molding, home mechanics and mechanical drawing. An annual exhibit is held when the boys display their projects which compare favorably with commercial projects. This year the shop took on the pleasant atmosphere of home. A large rug in the center of the floor made the scene more realistic. On the rug various coffee tables and smoking stands were arranged. On tables, that were placed in a semi-circle around the rug, lamps, ash trays, and candle holders were attractively arranged. As a background tor the display the lndustrial arts department had large posters which carried out the idea of home with pictures around. Everyone was most interested in the display ot work. Mr. Fish, in charge of this department, has done much to teach boys how to be ot service in the world through the use ot their hands. Editors wouldn't "sit on" so many jokes it there were points to them. Ninety CLASS ossfit CAFETERIA The Cafeteria of Manasquan High School is one of the most modern along the New lersey Coast. The arrangement of the lunch room is comfort- able for all those who have access to it. The equipment is of the best. The food is prepared by Mrs. Louise Treanor and her two helpers, Mrs. Leona Woolley and Mrs. Henrietta Cannata. The cashier work, helping to prepare the food, dish washing, serving the food, cleaning the tables, selling candy, cleaning and stacking the dishes and trays is all done by the students. Thirty-three boys and girls work in the lunch room in perfect unity. The lunch period is divided into three sections of twenty minutes each, from 11:30 A. M. to 12:37 P. M. While one group of students is eating lunch the other two groups are having classes. Lunch time is always welcome because it acts as a relaxing period. The food used in our cafeteria is of very good quality but regardless of this the prices are low. Before certain holidays, such as Thanksgiving and Christmas, special turkey dinners are served. This well-run cafeteria is the pride of Manasquan High School. BARBARA COFFMAN The result of cramming is literary hash.

The club meets the second and fourth Monday of each month. French games, folk songs and conversation is practiced. This group is a combination of all four languages and readings in all individual subjects are done. For an example, an English story was put into French, Spanish, German and Latin. We also read several books in English dealing with French culture. The most popular achievement from which the members and the whole school benefited were moving pictures dealing with the Pyrenees, Riviera and Les villes Ancienes. We enjoyed our club and look forward to its continuation and to its success. LEONA KRAVITZ These are the days when you can't throw a monkey-wrench anywhere without hitting a nut.

MISS MARGARET SMITH Four years ago, in September, l935 the lunior French Club was organized with a charter membership of sixty-tive students, under the able sponsorship of Miss Smith, one ot the French teachers of the Manasquan High School. Since the time it began the club's popularity has increased rapidly, although the membership had to be limited to a smaller number, The members have enjoyed many interesting and jolly French songs and various games exer- cising the vocabulary in French. It is planned to develop a puppet show, with puppets and a lighted stage made by the members ot the club. Several parties have been held. At these social gatherings, a French card game is played in French and cake, ice cream, and candy are served to all. The only requirement is that each member present speak as much French as he can, within the limits of his vocabulary. The members have acquired a greatly broadened culture and deeper understanding with increased knowl- edge ot French people and their customs and civilization. A truly French environment exists in C. R. IO, the French class room where the meetings take place every two weeks after school hours. A good foundation has been laid to make the actual high school study ot French a real and lasting pleas- ure and ot profit to each student.

Since much of the value of dramatization is lost if members are given ready-made parts to memorize and recite, there has been a definite movement toward informed dramatic Work. Members have enjoyed learning to read with an eye for the dramatic possibilities of the material. They have Worked in pantomine in order to develop expression of bodily movements. Representatives have been sent out by the club to view larger play- productions and report Work for constructive groups criticism. The work of the club is planned to improve the quality of seeing, feeling, and hearing on the part of those engaged in dramatic activities. Members are taught to enjoy a play as Well as to participate in the production of one.l As a critic he learns general Weaknesses and how to overcome them. One large production was given as an assembly program. The play "Five Hours to Go" was favorably received and repeated at a Manasquan Iunior, Senior Parent Teachers' meeting. A point system of credit is used. The member receiving the highest nurn- ber of points is awarded a medal for dramatic growth during the year. DOROTHY LEWIS Love lightens labor-me for love.

They meet twice monthly with the main aim to stimulate a greater in- terest in the field of science and to discuss the current events of science as they are taking place at the present time. Several committees were appointed to carry on the activities of the group. A news committee to care for the daily science news, and experiment com- mittee to carry on the experiments for the group. And a scrap book com- mittee to record all important data were formed. Moving pictures played an important part in some of the meetings. Pic- tures entitled "Safety on the Highway", "Shoes", "Building for the Future" and several others made for interesting meetings. The main event of the year is to be the trip to the World's Fair.

During the year the organization displayed its knowledge of leadership in the efficient way of guarding at the Football and Basketball games. Reports of the treasurer were heard frequently and subjects of raising money for it were talked about. The purpose of the Athletic Association is to help govern the athletic policy in the high school, assisting in keeping the students informed as to athletic activities, dispersing of letters: helping to raise money, and to assist in scheduling of athletic contests.

They have helped to promote this spirit throughout the entire student body. It is evident at the various athletic activities in which our school has engaged. The group is selected by a committee specified in the constitution of the Club consisting of the following: The adviser of the Club, adviser of the Student Government, President of the "M" Club, and captain of the cheerleaders. The requirements are: The girl must be an active member of the "M" Club, she must submit, at the tryouts, one original cheer, two school cheers, and be able to do a cartwheel. From the large number of girls which turn out the desired few are chosen with regard to their pep, their ability, and their previous school activities. The pep rallys which are conducted by the cheerleaders in the assembly and which are witnessed by the students help to arouse the school spirit which is so evident in Manasquan. Decided effort was put forth in cake sales, a Victory dance, and other money-making affairs to defray expenses for new uniforms. The squad is clad in outfits of royal blue slacks with grey stripes on the side, blue sweaters with grey chenille emblems, and blue hats and mega- phones. The captain's colors are reversed.

EDWIN LEVER, FRANKLIN SHAAK Our past cage campaign was the most successful in many years. It broke our own record with ten straight wins. Our team won a berth in the Shore Conference Tournament. We were defeated by Neptune in the finals and received a trophy for second place. In the State Tournament we downed our rival, Lakewood, and we looked to other teams to conquer. We played Hoffman High School, for the Central Iersey Group II Championship. Due to three fouls, committed by Manasquan, our championship hopes vanished. Those starting for Manasquan this season were: Dave Brown, captain and forward. Brown was steady as a scorer, and this, his last year in schol- astic sports, proved his outstanding ability. Ruben Segalle-forward. Segall is a lunior, and he played the center spot on the defense. He was the spearhead in our fast break. Hal Thompson, also back next year, played the pivot position. It was his first year in varsity competition and playing center the entire season he fared particularly well and rounded into one of the top-notch centers in the Shore Conference. Harry Brevoort, another Iunior, was one of Manasquan's stellar and hard- fighting guards. His season was brilliant and very well played, Charlie Truax, a senior, took the position of guard with Brown. Truax excelled at guard after being moved from the forward position earlier in the year. He was elected to the Third All-State Group II this year for the forward position. Sguan's reserve material was plentiful and was used on many occasions. These reserves were: Ofeldt, Iansky, Morton, Iohnson, McCarthy and Hey- niger. Those graduating this year are: Brown, Truax, Ofelclt, Morton, Iohnson, and McCarthy.

The Manasquan High School baseball team who were Shore Conference and Central Iersey champions in 1938 started off its l939 season on the right foot by defeating Toms River who are looked upon as the favorites this year. Despite the loss through graduation of such sterling players as Roy Henville, Vernon King, Walt Anderson, Ralph Shinn and Charles Walters the team is in second place as this book goes to print. Manasquan was in first place when Harry Brevoort, one of the best pitchers in the conference sprained his ankle. The loss of their star pitcher is seriously handicapping the team. Ruben Segal and Dave Brown are recognized as the best second base combination in the league while Bob Bossett is starring in centerfield.

However, there are several candidates which might prove to be valuable material in future meets. Of the above material the only experienced men are: Carl Pierce, discus: Walter Kurilchyk, javelin and shotputg distance man, Iohn Wooley and sprintman, Irving Bennett. Track meets this season will include the following schools: Red Bank, Point Pleasant, Toms River, Neptune, and two conference meets, one at Toms River and the other at Freehold. During the 37-38 season the track team came out quite well taking third place in the Shore Conference Meet. This feat was attained mainly through the untiring efforts of two weight stars, namely, Iohn Kulpinski and Mike Lashek, both of whom were in the graduating class of '38. Kulpinski was the chief point maker of the Manasquan track squad, being champion iavelin thrower in the Shore Conference Competition. This year the track men hope to attain honors under the guidance of Mr. Granville Magee ,head coach of the sports activities in Manasquan, who is to be aided by Mr. Myron Turner, assistant coach.

KATHERINE PIERCE The club's aim is to develop healthy minds and bodies through the or- ganization of sports and games adapted to the needs and abilities of all girls and to uphold and carry out the highest ideals of good sportsmanship. The organization has an advisory body of students called the executive council. It is composed of the following students: Seniors-lean Hoskins, Elsie Vanderhoef, Alice Larson, Doris Pierce. luniors-Kay Pierce, Evelyn Ander- son, Margaret Applegate. Sophomores-Darcy Scudder, Freshman-lane Preston. The teams are chosen by four senior girls. Elsie Vanderhoef, lean Hoskins, Helen Combs, and Bette Shaak are captains of the blue, yellow, white, and red teams, respectively. Throughout the year the girls compete with various schools in basketball and volley-ball. The Playdays that they have had this year were with Point Pleasant, Neptune and Freehold in Volleyball and with Point Pleasant, Asbury Park and Neptune in basketball. The purpose of this is to establish a more friendly relationship among students of these schools. Manasquan sent representatives to the County Playday which was held this year in the Neptune High School Gym. Members of this group refereed the Spring Lake grammar school basket- ball games. This helps them to not only be able to play the game themselves fairly but to be able to conduct well-organized play. Points are given for various activities and the girl which stands highest. at the end of the four years receives a trophy. This organization has been in existence for many years and throughout that time it has stood as a symbol of good sportsmanship and fair play to the' entire student body and to the other surrounding athletic associations.

V Many friendships have been made in Commuters Club this year. There were quite a few freshmen that came into the club, and it has been a lot of fun teaching them basketball, volleyball, and other sports. In addition, it was interesting to watch lane Lewis who was really the club's clown, although she did manage to make quite a number of baskets during basketball season.
