TO THE CLASS OF 1962, I extend sincere congratulations. May the years bring to you success and happiness as you courage- ously look and drive forward with unshakeablc faith in the future of our great country. Good luck and may God be with you. John V. Caracciolo Principal MATAWAN JUNIOR-SENIOR MICH «AVAVAJI TOWNSHIP , NfW Jfl ANCNITfC The undergraduates of Matawan High School are looking forward to moving to the new school on Atlantic Avenue as seen in the sketch. After many years of struggling, the citizens of Mata- wan have succeeded in obtaining a new high school with new and better facilities. These facilities will make it possible for the large stu- dent body to have a full day session. It has been my privilege to have known many members of your graduating class since you enrolled in Matawan High School. I recall vividly your aspirations and trepi- dations, and I have observed with considerable interest your progress and achievements since that time. Now armed with a maturity, purposefulness and wisdom which you did not possess then, you can face a future with confidence in your ability to succeed. My sincere best wishes to each of you. 7 DANIEL JACKLER Vice-Principal

TO THE CLASS OF 1962: All life, all matter is interrelated. It is wondrous indeed to contemplate our universe, an intricate ‘mosaic’ of atoms and molecules. A high school program can similarly be interpreted as a mosaic. Vet the most essential ingredient in all schools is still a mystery in composition and process. It is spirit warm, friendly, and fraternal, which lies all together into a distinguishable whole and provides the vitality and drive which make meaningful and distinctive the life vou live at Matawan Regional High. Luther A. Foster Superintendent of Schools Pictured above is our first high school, now the grammar school used from 1895-1922. The other building, the high school now in use, was occupied by high school students from 1923-1962. To many people Matawan High School is just brick and cement, but to the students, it re- presents a place of learning to which many alumni owe their jobs and their futures. Soon another of the many graduating classes will leave the school; its members headed for diverse goals. The old school on broad Street has be- come aged and will he replaced by a nt w school on Atlantic Avenue. 6
