Last year, Matawan again resumed track, after the war years, and had a very successtul season, There was a large turnout, and, under the able coaching of Coach Nuccio, the boys had a swell season, although they had no previous experi- ence. This baseball squad pictured above was one of the most successful Matawan has had in recent years. During the past season these boys compiled an admirable record of ten wins against four losses. This record enabled Mata- wan to win the Group One Central Jersey Championship. The squad also had a favorable stonding of third place in Shore Conference Competition. This fine showing is a tfribute to our coach, Mr. Bednard, who had just returned to Matawan after service in the United States Army.

BAND This year our band and majorettes have been more active than ever. Under the leader- ship of Mr. Ebersole, the band has made re- markable improvement. Together with the majorettes we were really proud of our band as they marched up the foot- ball field with the new M. H. S. banner. CHEERLEADERS Cheerleading is one of the most popular extra-curricular activities for girls. The cheer- leaders cheer during footbcll and basketball seasons. It takes two years of cheering on the squad to earn a letter, however, every graduat- ing senior receives a gold megaphone. Top RowLeft to Right: D. Mundy, G. Gumbs, J. Richardson, E. Gumbs, A.
