FRESHMAN YEAR A A new attraction was added to Keyport High School in 1954 when a group of shy freshmen started the term in September. Being iust a side show, the freshman class found it necessary for everyone to work hard to keep up with the fast moving activities of the circus around them. As a start, some of the members in the class of 172 students participated in the band and the chorus at the Christmas and the Spring Concerts. The girls in the freshman sewing classes took parts in the fashion show held during Open House. Everyone strived to achieve the reward of having an average above eighty-five to become honor roll or high honor roll students. Harold O'Brien was chosen to represent the freshman class on the Student Council. SOPHOMORE YEAR Returning the following year as sophomores, 163 strong, our hard work proved worthwhile. More boys ioined the football, basketball, and baseball teams. The girls ioined the Girls' Athletic Association. Sopho- more members of the band and twirling squad were noticed on the marching field and in concerts. A larger number of students discovered the pleasure of staying after school for club meetings or senior play rehearsal. Sophomore class representatives and student council members were elected to take part in school affairs. Five members of the class were the first sophomore students to be elected to the National Honor Society. They were Meredith Walling, Kathy Mandeville, Dixie Bowman, Ray Brown, and Cathy Franke. JUNIOR YEAR As iuniors, now a group of 135, we held a prominent place in the greatest show on earth. Our advisors, Mrs. Carlson and Mr. Mitrosky, were introduced to us at our first class meeting in the cafeteria. Class officers were elected as follows: Harold O'Brien, presi- dent, Richard Boggs, vice-president, Odette Hertle, secretary, Dorothy Eigenrauch, treasurer. The presentation of two dances, Mood Indigo and March Madness, for which the students sold tickets to raise funds for the future trip to Washington, were highly successful. The selling of candy also added to these funds. A better year in football could not be found. The team of Keyport High was undefeated and won the 3 . . refer ff f,1,fyq5g K . ,A H nzsflfas fi.-ws .ws s ef..s?gg.-f ,sir...4??, ' .Qf,w5..'f5ttv,,ss',ksaleeftr -- f.-z'e?f.:y32ii.2 sz'g?ff52,Q2,Q,i. f s.. 1... ...yy-5 1. sw. . -7 I - ,. 52:21 sstsiff- ffsfsfsi, ,SM-' --swf. . , ..

Our class was proud to have six members on the team. Five new members were elected to the Honor So- ciety, making a total of ten members to receive cer- tificates of membership at Open House. The new mem- bers were Bonnie Greatrex, Karen Gevas, Judy Main- waring, Dan Whitaker, and Raymond Lo Presto. Receiving our class rings made us realize that time was growing short, that soon we would star in the main show. SENIOR YEAR At last! We stepped into the center ring as the stars. lt seemed to have taken such a long time. The follow- ing students were elected as officers by the class of 116 members: Richard Boggs, president, James Potts, vice-president, Connie Scacco, secretary, Meredith Walling, treasurer. Our advisors were Mrs. Carlson and Mr. DiFazio. The first step in the rising action of the year was the Evergreen Ball, which the seniors sponsored at Christmas. The music of the Harbor Lights sounded wonderful as everyone danced around a huge white Christmas tree in the center of the floor. In December, the student body selected Harold O'Brien and Pati Poling as Campus King and Queen and they were crowned at Open House on March 28. The trip to Washington took place on March 12, 13, and 14, and proved to be an exciting event which no one will ever forget. Our Town, the senior play, was presented on April 24 and 25. Next came the Spring Concert and the Junior-Senior Dinner Dance, the most important social event of our four years. Final examina- tions and graduation were the climax and conclusion of a wonderful performance under the big top at Keyport High School. . . U, -.s

Come one, come all to the greatest show on earth! Through the circus gates, several people can be seen running about getting ready for the big show. There at the Coke stand is EDDIE FISCHER busily talking to JOAN KINNEAR, the soda ierk. Across the way, two politicians, Senators DAN WHITAKER and ED BILDERBACK, are arguing about the latest issue: What to do with DIXIE BOWMAN's rocket which doesn't want to leave the ground. Over by the entrance gate there is a large crowd and in the middle of it are those two glamorous movie stars, GAIL MATTHEWS and MARILYN MATTHEWS, being interviewed by society reporter MYRA MACCIA of the Keyport Weekly, while RAY BROWN snaps the picture. It's good publicity for the business managers, DOT EIGENRAUCH and HARVEY TRUEX, but it's not good for the poor ticket girl, BRENDA PEDRICK, trying to collect admission for the show. Under the big top is a large crowd and over in one corner there seems to be a disturbance caused by those two wrestlers, RICH BOGGS and BOB ARCHER and boxing champion RAY NAUGHTON. Soon the band, led by RAY LO PRESTO, plays the opening song and the show begins. Into the main arena steps ring master LOUIS SPAFFORD to an- nounce the main attraction-Mar Vellus, the super-human wonder, who will be shot out of the cannon. Hold tight, ladies and gentlemen! SANDY BROWN is now crawling into the gigantic cannon. Keep your eyes on the center ring . . . four, three, two, one . . . she's off! Now into the ring walks another star attraction, JEAN SHEPPARD, mambo queen. After her graceful performance, comes the elephant trainer, CAROL LAMBERTSON, and the elephant rider, CORKY HOURAHAN. Then the. lights grow dim and the daring tight wire walkers, JOE BROWN, MARIE SOURCE, and GEORGIANNA HELWIG, come into the spotlight. Suddenly, screams are heard from the audience while DAN JACKSON, the lion tamer, tries to get his cats back into their cage. Next comes the knife thrower, LEONARD BUSICHIO, with his beautiful assist- ant, JOYCE ADAMS. The big attraction for the youngsters is the trick riding act of OLIVE DAVIS, GAIL DIAMOND, and PRISCILLA ROHDE. The children are also held spellbound by CHRIS WNEK, snake charmer. It's intermission now, so the crowd is taking a special tour of the circus grounds. Over to the popcorn stand go the two lovers NICKY CHRISTATHAKIS and MARLENE MILLS. Look who's buying hotdogs for her six children! It's MARIE BRUNNER. Selling that ever sticky cotton candy and pink lemonade is BETTY McGOWAN. Who's that man standing by the exit fooling with those wires? No, it couldn't be! But yes, it is HERB KONISH, the radio repairman, and with him are RAYMOND KNOTT and FRANKLIN REED, the circus architects. Over at the animal tent are LILA BEHR and CHARLES SMITH training show horses. In the elephant house is veterinarian, MEREDITH WALLING, trying to get Bimbo on her feet. Look over there! The two clowns, JIMMY POTTS and JOHNNY MEGLIO, are trying to hit golf balls into the kangaroo's pouch, while
