CLASS September 1950 was the month of our very first performance in Matawan High School. We were all a bit nervous, but self-assurance grew as we performed day after day. We joined the activities that suited us and because of our successful show, we had a dance to close our year of per- formance. This, by the way, was worth all the hard work. September 1951 was the beginning of our next big performance. No longer classed as Freshmen, we had gained recognition in the eyes of the entire troop. Our best performance of the year was at our Bunny Hop given before Easter. Already people were beginning to notice our star per- formers. We closed the year looking forward to our next season. September 1952 found us relaxed and ready for our show ahead. We had polished off most of our rough spots and our head ringmasters placed more confidence in our performance. To meet the expenses of our troop, Christmas Cards were sold at side shows. We had a St. Patty's Day Dance
