ci ,j.w!...,lx.ln J ? DEDICATION MR.ARTHUR $ORACI DEDICATION GORDON MARVEL RUSSEL A. G. STETLER Mr. Stetler has organized the schools into an efficient co-operating body.

Mr. Stettler's hobbies areseasonal sports, fresh water fishing, golfing, bowling, short story writing, and a definite interest in chemistry. The Class of 1952, Matawan Township High School, is graduating at a very opportune time and is looking forward to its acceptance by the adult population. Many kind and interesting statemerts may be made about the Class of 1952. It was my pleasure to meet the majority of the class five years ago. Now I may state thaf the first impression was satisfactory. Each day the class of 1952 was able to penetrate the impression deeper and deeper. It is my hope that, as individuals, you may be able to continue impressing others as you have me. l join my associates in extending to you the best of health, happi- -ness, success and prosperity throughout your lives. With kind personal regards Most cordially yours, Russel A. G. Stetler JOHN E. BENNETT Without Mr. Bennett's full cooperation many of the student activities would not be possible. He has actively promoted harmony between the office and the student body. When any problem arises, he is always prepared with a solution. PRINCIPALS' MESSAGES TO THE CLASS OF 1952 The class of 1952 is to be commended for its excellent standards of scholarship. Its interest in continuing education in higher institutions of learning is evidence that it realizes the need for thorough preparations to meet the ever-changing problems in this day and generation. The measure of success and greatness you attain in the years to come will depend upon the ability you have and the energy you are willing to use in meeting each problem squarely and keeping at it until mastered. The years you have spent in high school have been happy ones. You have formed many friendships that have left imprints upon your char- acter and personality. Your success in life will depend to some extent upon your associates and your willingness to make sacrifices for them. Set an example in good citizenship for the classes that will follow you. The world will challenge you daily to do greater things for yourself and for the community in which you live. In your struggle to succeed, be earnest, thoughtful, kind, and true to duty. In justice be firm, in judge- ment be clear, in your desp-rooted convictions, be the champions of right. Be yourself. Best wishes for your happiness and success. John E. Bennett Principal JOHN J. SHEA Mr. Shea has done splendid work not only in his capacity as vice-principal, but also as head of the mathmatics department. He has done his utmost to prepare us for our career in Mathmatics.

He has also attended Columbia University, the Har- vard Graduate School of Business, New York University, and Rutgers University. Mr. Shea's hobbies include music, dramatics and sports. In the past years his direction of the Student Revue has been unsurpassed in its excellence. In all probability, you have been given this advice over and over again, but I'm sure once more won't do any harm. . Be careful of the company you keep and the way you act. You will be judged most of the time on these two things. John J. Shea FLORENCE BODZIAK Rider College Mrs. Bodziak is one of the main factors in our commercial department.

You observe Viola Stenger gaining recognition for our class as she designs the standard Matawan High School ring. This freshman class you notice, participates in the school election tor Presidential election between Truman and Dewey conducted in the school. Look! Dewey wins. Oh no! Senior Day at Matawan High School! The Seniors are issuing a pro- clamation ordering their wish to be the command of the lowly Freshman. Even more humiliating is their demand that the girls wear their clothes inside out, hair up, and no make-up. Even the boys have to wear their clothes inside out, two different socks, and lipstick. How conspicuous the Freshman feel as they spend the day bowing to the suiiors in these ridiculuous outfits. Come One ! ! Come All ! I To the Freshman DanceThis is what you read on all the posters. Although the dance is being held on Friday, June 13, no one con- siders this bad luck; school is terminated and summer joys commence. Act Il As the curtain parts you notice a class of proud sophomores and why not ! ! They have the class below them now. Look at those Biology students' expressions! Imagine dissecting worms and frogs ! ! The action now moves 1o a gaily decorated gym. All the preparations are being made for the Sophomore Dance. Now that these experienced Sophomores have been members of Matawan High for almost two years, this dance can't miss. Yes, these Sophomores are gaining recognition with the admission of a few of the girls to the Cheerleading Squad and the participation of Sophomores in the Student Revue. Act 1l As the curtain parts you observe the Juniors selling school seals to help ease the financial situation which occurs during the Senior Year. The wearing of the green is highlighted by the apropos Irish decorations. Look close at the Wishing Well in the center of the floor. Everyone is pitching pennies and making wishes at the St. Patrick's Day Dance given by the Juniors. Ahoy, then! Forget that you're a landlubber and gaze upon this authentic nautical scene. These juniors are putting forth a supreme effort to decorate the gym to represent the deck of a ship. Although some art students are spattered with paint, shop students entangled in wire, and the rest of the decorators exhausted from attending to the details and giving assistance where it is needed, no one seems to mind the work, for they are striving to make this prom the most successful in the History of Matawan High School. Notice ! ! all the Junior afternoon classes are being disrupted because they are being measured for their class rings. This is one of the initial steps to becoming a Senior. Act IV As the curtain parts on the final act, you see a group of happy and proud faces. The Senior rings have come. Need anymore be said 2 7 7 7 This scene finds a group of busy Seniors. Everyone is selling license plate tags and refreshments at the football games. Some are rushing to get the articles in for the yearook, while others are feverishly working on the Senior paper to keep M. H. S. informed on the latest events and bulletins. To quote a coined expression, The play is the thing, for indeed, Charley's Aunt is a huge success through the untiring patience of Mrs. Bell and Mr. Shea and the diligent efforts of the members of the cast. FINALE: The Class of 1952 wishes to extend their sincere appreciation to the entire faculty for their constructive criticism and helpful guidance through our four years in M. H. S. Your untiring efforts and tried patience have guided us to one of the crossroads of life. Yes, graduation leaves us on the threshold of a bright and prom- ising future.

As my sleek Cadillac convertible pulls up in front of the theatre, Russell Catton, the doorman, opens my door and ushers me into the luxurious lobby. The first thing I see upon entrance to the lobby is some members of the fleet. These men in blue are Ronnie Sheldon, Donald Long, Bill Ostenfeld, Henry Wolf, Lee Trout, Angelo Scally, Harry Olsen and Jim Duffy. Accompanying them are two Air Force men, Richard Caden and Jim McQuarrie. Near the candy counter, talking shop, are five angels in white. I believe ali of these fine nurses are employed at Johns Hopkins Hospital. It must be a pleasure for Sadie Hicks, Elaine Milligan, Barbara Owens, Agnes Leavy and Pansy Bethune to be able to work together. On my way to my box I stop to buy a program from the vivacious Norma Lambertson. I am looking forward to meeting many of my old classmates. For I am the Spirit of the Class of '52. As I sit in my box surveying all, I rotice in theneighboring box are Joan Devereaux, Diane Dennis, Wilda Janssens, Wilberta Phillips, and Viola Stenger renewing their friendships. Later, Anne Cartan who is now working as a medical assistant in New York joins them. At that moment the famsd comedian Alfred Edmond saunters down the aisle and stops to chat with Master Donald Stephens, the eminent zoologist. . Upon close observation of my program I learn this play, written by William Farrow, is produced by those multi- millionaires Warren Burnette and Fred Pizzi and is directed by David Solomon who received many awards for his fine work in college. Additional information obtained from my program is that the costumes are designed and made by seamstress Delphine Hughes; the unique hair styles are created by Loretta Smith, who has a fashionable salon on Fifth Avenue; the make-up artists are Josephine DiSanto and Peggy Lawrence. Alsc very generously, Lois Powelson and Robert Boyce, celebrated artists, contributed their time and talents to paint the scenery for the play: Mike George vers?'ri!e carpenter, made most of the props; and Michael Charles is our television technician, for definitely the play is televised. Ha! after some searching I find that Karl that's my boy Hughes is to sing that hit tune Braver and Brave written by Wilhelmina Solomon. This song is dedicated to James Clifton who drives a stock car. At 8:00 o'clock the raising of the curtain is greeted by much applause from the audience, which boasts of such celebrities as Joyce Clarke, a successful lawyer; the veterinarian, John Osterheld; and the concert violinist, Nelle Doak. The play concerns the murder of an anonymous freshman, who was in love with an airline hostess, Lucille Martin. The murder takes place on the farm of farmer Freddie Brown, but the body is moved and later is discovered on the farm of Basil Burnette several miles away. The corpse is then taken to the morgue where undertaker Donald Muro makes an incision to remove the bullet from the lowly freshman. Detective Robert Higgins has four suspects; Richard Greenman, a draftsman; Mary Jane Cashill, a teacher; Jane Van Brackle, the director of a nearby children's nursery; and Marlene Griswold, a dental assistant. Guess who done it?? A sophomore ! ! After this hair-raising mystery, Bill Hauser announces that there will be a party at the Penthouse of Louis Pazienza, the billionaire who started his career working as a diesel mechanic in George Ervin's garage. Louie employs seventeen secretaries, for it requires many hands for the smooth operation of a penthouse. Three of his secretaries, Dot Kasprzyk, Evelyn Emmons, and Bernice Henderson, are in charge of the silverware. Anna Lou Harris, Ann Staeger, and Dolores Schuier have full respons ibility of the brooms and dusters. Enirusted with the care of the modern furniture I find Marie Bowne, Ellen Galligan, and Ann Russell; and in charge of linen are Joyce Wood, Barara Allen, and Rose DiBiase. In complete authority of the dish department are Carol Young, Elnora Baker, and Frances Dockery. Lastly, I learn that Lola Ronson, Bernice Trella, and Faith Bailey hold secretarial positions to Louie's dog, Fido!! The delicious food for this party is prepared by a culinary genius, Carla Petersen. Showing their appreciation for these delectable delicacies are Joseph Drago, Michael Jastrab, William Blanken, and John Brennan. These boys are making permanent quarters by the buffet table. Among the honored guests are Wayne Coon, Donald Lawton, and Santord Hallock. It is reported that these three scientists are working on the calcium bomb, with which the National Defense Committee, consisting of the hon- orable William Keck; and Dale Green,plan to attack the moon. Also at the party is Robert Smith, a great railroad magnate, who started many railroads in the Anfa;;fic. Shirley Hertle; and Katherine Otto, employed as teachers in Matawan High School, are praising all of the modern facilities that Matawan has recently installed. As I leave I mest two columnists and critics, Connie Heuser and Edith Bozza, who considered the play excellent and will praise it highly in their columns. Yes, the play was wonderful. We all had a good time, but could it be that we are prejudiced? ?

Here for one week hundreds of boys l from all over New Jersey learn about the process of state, county and city government by actually participating in model govern- ment elections and procedure. Besides being exposed to a wealth of practical information aboutour government, they engage in several sports gvents, the largest of which are the track meet held in Rutgers Stadium and the big swimming meet at the Rutgers pool. During a winter session of BOYS' STATE, which is convened in Trenton, the boys wno have been elected to various posts during ! the summer encampment take over these offices in our state capital 3 for one day. Thus they gain first-hand experience in the duties 2 of a position in New Jersey's government, 2 And with this wsll-rounded program behind them they return home prepared to take their places as responsible and contrib- uting cittizens of this great land of ours. DONALD LAWTON 1951 Boys' State Delegate GIRLS' STATE GIRLS' STATE is an American Legion sponsored citizenship program in which girls of high school age are trained for leader- ship in their government and service to their country. It is a statewide program made up of approximately 200 girls represen- ting the local Legion organizations in New Jersey. These girls are chosen on qualities familiar to good citizenship and, through the guidance of able leaders, form and conduct a model state government of their own. The purpose of GIRLS' STATE is to offer its citizens the oppor- tunity to cultivate and further their leadership, initiative, and individuality. This opportunity is created through the vigorous campaigns for offices in the GIRLS' STATE government, the recreational activities directed by the GIRLS' STATE citizens them- selves, and an ardant program in patrioism developed by loyal practice. The GIRLS' STATE agenda consists of talks by eminent leaders in our own state government, each describing the functions of his department and the individual duties of the officials who add to its smooth operation. With this knowledge and practical experience, these girls have in their possession the fundamentals of our intricate and unequalled democratic government. VIOLA STENGER 1951 Girl's State Delegate Stephen Spettigue .......... Col. Sir Francis Chesney . Jack Chesney ... Charley Wykeham .. Lord Fancourt Babberley .............................. .. Jack Brennan Donna Lucia D'Alvadorez Amy Spettigue SENIOR PLAY Charley's Aunt Charley's Aunt, a three act comedy, is the story of two boys: Jack Chesney, who is violently in love with Kitty Verdun, and Charley Wykeham, who is equally enamoured of Amy Spettigue. The boys invite the ladies to luncheon to meet Charley's wealthy aunt from Brazil where the nuts come from . Unfortunately, however, they receive a telegram from Charley's Aunt saying that she will be delayed for a fw days. What can they do? The girls won't be able to come! Completely vexed, their problem is finally solved by the entrance of no one else but Lard Fancourt Babberley. Babberley is going to act in an amateur theatrical as an old lady. His having his costume with him gives the boys a marvelous idea. Why not let Babberley dress in his costume ard play the part of Charley's wealthy aunt from Brazil? Much against his wishes, Babberley is forced into a black catin skirt, a lace tichu, and an old-fashioned cap and wig. Posing now as Charley's aunt, he is introduced to the sweethearts, to Stephen Spettigue, Miss Spettigue's guardian, and to Sir Francis Chesney, advised by his son Jack to marry her. The two girls hug and kiss Charley's aunt, much to the dissatisfaction of Jack and Charley, and the two older men also try for her hand. During this course of events, Bebberley is enjoying the confessions to the fullest. The climax comes when Charley's real aunt traveling under an assumed name arrives with her companion, Ela Delahay. During the ensuing ccnfusion, young Babberley, still posing as the aunt, tricks poor Mr. Spettigue into the marriage of his niece to Charley. Jack gets the hand of Miss Verdun and the real aunt, now revealed to everyone as Charley's aunt from Brazil, marries Jack's father. Lord Fancourt Babberley, Charley's Aunt, regains the fortune he lost at gambling and marries the girl, Ela Delahay, he lost. As the curtain descends we see the entire cast on stege and the lovers, young and old, holding hands. CAST . William Blanken ... David Solomon John Osterheld Donald Long William Farrow ...
