From our first clays as Freshmen to our remaining few as Seniors, we have ex- perienced joy and sorrow; triumph and de- feat; problems and solutions. As students we have both prized our in- dividuality and valued our teamwork, through which, with the guidance-of our faculty, we have achieved our many aims. Our minds have been awakened to the complexities, rules,, and responsibilities which arc entailed as we assume adult obligations. With this in mind we now present the final chapter of our high school years — PILLAR 1964. IN CONTRAS Mg DEDICA TION Robert A. Messcroll To our very good friend and constant inspiration, Robert A. Messcroll, the 1964 Pillar is respectfully dedicated. Someone has said that a good teacher on one end of a log and a willing student on the other constitute the mini- mum essential environment for education. The energizing personality of our Hand Master, Orches- tra Leader, musician, valued friend, and teacher has done much to vitalize, broaden, and ennoble our education. In the years to come, those of us who have had the privi- lege of coming under Mr. MesseroIFs influence will always recall with affection and high regard how he helped our school go, and how he helped us grow. Friends 4 ADMINISTRA TION Luther A. Foster Superintendent of Schools matawan regional high school Matawan, New Jersey June 15, 1964 To the Class of 1964, the second graduating class from the Matawan Regional High School, I extend sincere congratulations. As you are about to leave your high school for the larger world demanding technological com- petencies, I pray that your educational equipment includes those items of intelligence and interest that will insure your continued acceptance, not only as a worker, but also as a cultivated, free- minded human being. I have a permanent interest in the answer which your life is to give to this prayer. The true meaning of your education will only be found by observing what you do with it, not what you say al out it. Evidences of your educa- tion will be found in your ability to recognize and to prefer the best achievements of the best work- ers; in an understanding of this bestness: and in a positive self-urge to add something to this for yourselves. May strength and courage abundant be yours as you work for reason and understanding and plan for the future with confidence. ACCIOLO Principal JOHN V. C TO THE CLASS OF 1964: If you were asked to take a part in a play, what part would you play? The important parts call for more study, more finding out what possibilities exist, more effort, more persistence, more imagination, more really throwing yourself into it. Would you want to take a significant part? Would you want to play the part of a truly outstanding, worthwhile person? Can and will you play the part well, with your heart and soul, bringing out the true picture of a leading character? Shakespeare said, “All the world’s a stage . . .”, and you are going to take a part one largely se- lected by your ow n efforts and vision. You must choose and play your role. Choose well your part. Play well your part. Good luck and may God be with you. Luther A. Foster Superintendent of Schools John V. Caracciolo Principal ADMINISTRA TION The successful implementation of educational philosophy, policy, and objectives throughout the school depends in no small measure upon the co- ordinated efforts of our Vice-Principal, our Guid- ance Director, our Counselors, and our Adminis- trative Start's.

After a slow start which, early in the season, saw the Huskies saddled with a 5-4 record, the team really began to jell, and the Huskies rocketed into the Class ‘B Conference title by defeating Wall Township, 70-52. Matawan, though playing a bit out of its class, then proceeded to come within a narrow margin of the Class “A” Shore Conference Championship, losing after a tremendous battle to Neptune, 59-53. The Huskies closed out a highly successful season by participating in the New Jersey State Tournament games, in which Matawan crushed Delaware Valley Regional High School, 68-54, before dropping a hard fought battle to Highland Park, 39-36.

The Block “M” was started in 1945 under the supervision of Mr. Anthony J. Nuccio. The boys of the dub have made it self-supporting by holding an annual dance and a tag day. The proceeds of the collection go towards the purchasing of jackets and athletic awards. The requirement for membership is one varsity letter in any sport. To earn your jacket, you must have four varsity letters in your sophomore or junior year or a total of three letters in your senior year. In this Olympic year, 1964, the club has taken up a collection to finance the sending of a United States Olympic team to the games in Japan. The Varsity Club, as it has conic to be called, is always ready to help any form of athletic competition in the name of good sportsmanship. The boys and their supervisors, George Deity, and Bruce MacCutchcon, have made this athletic club one of the finest in Monmouth County. 70 VARSITY CHEERLEADERS Left to right: S. Thorscn. L. Bowie, J.
