WATERGATE Senator Sam Ervin opened Senate Watergate hearings We hope the pages that follow will show to one and all the fun and games, the hopes and fears, the joys and sorrows of the Class of 1974. You will see us as we were during four years cf growing up both in school and out of school. How did we survive initiation, the endless tests, the lectures and book reports? How will we ever forget the proms, the ballgames, our teachers and our classmates? All these things will color our world for all the days of our future.

Mrs. Inman has taken a great interest in the students of Hoffman High School but especially the students of our class. She has concerned herself with our problems and her advice has helped many of us during our four years of high school.

After a record of 14 and 7, the Hoffman Varsity Base- ball Team went on to win the 1973 Central Jersey Group I Championship. They won the title by defeating Keyport by a score of 1 to 0. The team was undefeated in Central Jersey Valley Conference play. Kneeling: J. Kotula, M. Kelly, J. McCarthy, R. Neumann, G. Bongiorno, G. Hubbs. Standing: J. Wurth, T.

KNEELING: J. Kotula, M. Kelly, J. McCarthy, R. Neuman, G. Bongiorno, G. Hubbs. R.BLOODGOOD The 1974 Hoffman Baseball team is expected to do as good as, if not better than, last year's squad. The bulk of the team is back with the exception of Thomas Szatkowski, who will be very hard to replace. With the help of the new pitching machine, this year's of- fense should be more potent. The stronger points of the team is the defense, especially in the pitching department. According to Mr. Bloodgood, the enthusiam during the tedi- ous workouts, shows the team is ready and willing to play. Even though foul weather has hindered outdoor practices, the team will be prepared to go out and pursue another title for H.H.S.! The Co-captains of the team are J. Szatkowski and B. Still- wagon. In all, the team can be summed up in one word, Dynamite , as Mr. Bloodgood explains it. 41 VARSITY 44 BASKETBALL CHET JACK SHOTSY ELLIS PODE 45 GUVS IN ACTION and the cow jumped over the moon.
