Our year, our lives, are so tightly interlocked with the idea that we forget all the small decisions we make. Some choices are made with hesitation, some you are sure of. Parents set an example; teachers supply knowledge; the law limits our actions. From beginning to end, however, the Choice is ours. A.

Salty, sea sj ray at Sandy Hook A Solar Holiday If you asked anyone what items are on their list for summer survival, the top five would probably be: a beach towel, a bottle of coppertone, $5.50 for a N.J. Transit train ticket, a beach chair, and a season pass to one of our famed Jersey beaches (Manasquan, Pt. Pleasant, Belmar, etc.). Of course, there are some of us who have a license and an available car. They often find their circle of friends widening when planning a trip to the beach. However, to the dismay of avid surfers, you can’t catch a wave in toxic waste, but that can’t ruin our summer fun. Everybody takes advantage of their freedom, whether they are at camp, making money, spending money, or sleeping late after partying all night. A single word can describe it . . . awesome. 4 Opening With direct access to Luigi’s Pizza - Jason Weiner and Warren Cohen claim a choice spot under the sun of Manasquan Beach.

Our area consists of four parts: Aberdeen, Matawan, Cliffwood, and Clilf- wood Beach. This unique combination attracts a variety of people and businesses. Some people have noticed our growth potential. It is no surprise that every time we turn around there are new shops, renovat- ed restaurants, modern housing developments, and numerous establishments to enhance our area.

Hundreds of students satiate the bleachers with spirit on September 2.3rd — at the start of a new fall sport’s season. Less than a week before we rocked around the clock (7:30 to I 1:()() p.m.) at our Back to School 50’s dance. Over 200 students put up three dollars a piece to attend a dance that served as a buffer be- tween the comfort of summer and the shock of class work. It takes a different kind of courage for Quarterback Frank Tagliaferri. to share his thoughts with the expectant student body.

The halls are so packed after homeroom that if you are too small, you just get crushed.” —Jessica Papan, freshman Now that you’ve entered class, your hand goes up. Bored or otherwise, you anxiously await an escape from class. For those of you with a trip to the bathroom in mind, think twice before choosing the ones in the west wing. These were recently designated for seniors only. Back in class your day continues. Sometime dur- ing the day you will find yourself in a mandatory study hall, often awaiting the day’s end. While we have lost a class from the past high school schedule, we have gained a welcomed twenty-seven minutes of free time. Who savs the best things in life aren’t free?

Kathy Kuta and Kevin Royce bring life to the words Matawan High as they choose their own special look to re- flect their individual style. “Friends” “Say Ahhhh Jill Janota and Jen Wat- kins!” Friends” Buddies, pals, chums . . . Friends. These are some of the most important people in our lives. Without friends, we wouldn’t be able to deal with many of our problems. Since the time we were born, we had some- one close enough to us that we could call them our friend. “Friends” have a different meaning for each one of us. How often do you find yourself look- ing to a friend for the answers? Probably everyday. Sometimes it may seem as if a friend knows you better than you know your- self. In many of the things we do, we find our friends around us. In fact, for some of us, it might seem that we couldn't get through an ordinary day without them. You rarely go through the day with- out talking with them on the phone, at school, or communicat- ing with them in some way. Imag- ine going through a day without making any contact with your friends! Most people find that they have one or two best friends and any number of good friends. With best friends, you talk about cer tain people and do special things. With good friends, you talk in school or go to the movies or par- ties, even though you are not so open with them, they are still special. Sometimes you might make a mistake — tell a good friend something very private and the next day have a complete stranger walk up to you and say, “You really did that?! I can’t be- lieve you did that!!” It is not hard to spot best friends in the hallway. They are always walking together, talking and laughing. While your best friends are usually the ones around when you are going through a crisis. Friends are not always perfect, they get mad at each other and sometimes stop being friends. Although friend- ships may not be forever, each new one seems to get even bet ter.

After graduation you and your friends go separate ways and rarely see each other. It is hard to keep in touch when you are so far apart. How many of you find yourself saying to your friends, 1 11 write . I’ll call , I'll never forget you. Some of you may live up to these promises, but for many of you, only the last promise will be kept. You exchange addresses and phone num- bers, but with so many new things around you. you tend to forget those old friends. Going to college can be a very- nerve-racking experience.

He had to make sure he looked and smelled perfect for his date with Karen. After several weeks of admiring her from a distance, he finally got up enough nerve to ask her on a date. Mi- chael had stopped her in the hall one day and suggested they might go out to dinner together. To his surprise, she said. “Yes”. Now the big night had ar- rived. and was he nervous!! Meanwhile. Karen sat in front of her mirror fussing with her hair and make- up. Her hair was flat, her mascara was smudged. It seemed like nothing was going her way. Her bedroom floor was covered with outfits she had tried on and taken off. Nothing fit or looked right. Little did Michael know that Ka- ren had prayed for months that he would notice her and take her out. She was even more nervous than he was!!

Yon insert the key in the door pushing it open. It creaks just a bit, and you wait, breathless, in the doorway. No sound. Closing the door behind you and entering tnc hallway, you step on a loose tile. Clatter! Motionless again, you wait for signs of wakeful parents. Nothing. Tiptoeing up the stairs, a step creaks softly and you continue on your long journey. You walk across the great expanse of the upstairs hallway, your hand is on the doorknob to your room, as you breath a sigh of relief. THEN!! The lights go on and a monster-like creature emerges from the master bedroom with green cream on its face, curlers in its hair and an accusing phrase issuing from its lips; What ao yon think you're doing, coming home at four o'clock in the morning??!! Of course, there are also the ex- perimental type. The ones who open the door just as you walk up to it and realize that you have no key. It is 4:30 A.M now three o'clock in the morning. Your mother and I are asleep. We're going to try a little experiment now to see now you plan on getting in the house without a key. Or maybe your parents are the worried tvpe — sitting up on an all- night vigil. You enter the house and find a frantic, shaking creature telling you all the different things that could possibly have happened to you that evening. There are a select few who have parents who sleep through it all. The next morning, Oh. you just got in? That's nice'. Did you have a good time? Whatever your circumstances, whether it be a long grounding from your parents or talking around like a zombie for the next week, the general opinion on staying out late is that it is a choice worth more than the conse- quences. by: Orly Mishan John O'Shay had better get Barbara Wise home on time. o n November 24, a Tuesday afternoon, the Juniors turned the 1st place B-Wing into a scene from Star Wars with tools like tinfoil, construction paper and streamers. Meanwhile, the Seniors strung lights and stuck tape to the floor: We are the great '88. The Sophomores and Freshmen also put hours of ef- fort into their hallways. While tape and materials flew around, the Student Council decorated the cafeteria for a 7:30 pm dance, and S.A.D.D. decorated the lobby for their as- sembly the following day.

And if we were good, maybe Lucky Charms, Fruit Loops, or Frosted Flakes would fill our bowl. Today’s young brats have new and im- proved , revised and an overall wider assortment of cereals. Lucky charms completed their rainbow with purple horse- shoes, Trix added grape-fla- vored round balls and Fruity pebbles grounded out lime- green rocks. Yummy! ood Morning!

Food is an essential part of life for every- one; an obsession for some; a trend for others. Although the national trend is towards low-cal., low-fat food ami food products; we sometimes choose the al- ternative. Good ol junk food seems to creep up into even the healthiest of diets. Two all-time favorites: pizza and ice- cream. Dominos, “The Hut” and local Enzo's made a mint (hmmm, chocolate mints . . . not a bad idea). And yes; I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice-cream! However, everyday Breyers and Sealtest didn’t lick our lips. It was Haagen-Dazs, Frusen Gladje, Ben 6c Jerry’s and Steve’s, those gourmet goo- pies, that melted into our hearts. Also on the menu: tantalizing our tongues, potato chips, the old-time salty came in bacon and cheese, sour cream and chives. French onion, barbecue and even chocolate covered. Doritos sport- ed new Cool Ranch and Hot Mexican Taco. And where do we roam when a need for double chocolate-chocolate chip or a burger with the works to go, hits? Sonya Sotinsky and Stephanie Lofaro stop at a gourmet goopie — Steve’s in New York. Friendly’s. The Millbrook. and McDon- alds were some of the cravings. Unfortunately, all this food ends up on the waistline. A McDLT (680 cals.), chocolate shake (380 cals.), and large fries (357 cals.) add up to a total of 1,117 cals. At three meals a day. that's a pound a day gained. Thinking of a salad? But. not to leave on a sour note, al- ways remember this: You only live once, so eat the most of it! Besides, you can do those fifty sit-ups later. By Trina Hor Food 29 Jobs Work or Play? Uo you find that you never have enough money to buy that great sweater or the new album that just came out? Are you always asking your parents for money and they never give it to you? There's a simple solution to this. Go out and get a job! Everyday, people make the choice to earn their own money. Ev- ery place you go, you can see people filling out applications in the hope of getting hired. Places all over are in need of help and they show it on their famous sign Help Wanted”. Of course, the number one reason for getting a job is money. Some people need money for things such as clothes or jewelry, but others need it for more seri- ous things such as a car or college. But whatever the reason, a job can help the problem of a low cash How. There are many different kinds of jobs to choose from in a variety of different areas. For you. the right kind of job may be to work in one of the many fast food restaurants such as McDonald's. Roy Rogers, or Wendy’s. If you don't want to work in one of those places, there are many more to choose from. Maybe you’re interested in helping people. You could work at Bayshore Hospital or Em- ery Manor Nursing Home. If you want, you could work at the movie theatre while at the same time, see you're friends. A job at the Poet's Inn or Merri Makers might be what you're looking for too. In this case, you could be a bus- boy girl or a waiter wai tress. Of course, you always have the job at the super- market ringing up groceries. If any of these places don't appeal to you. you could get a job in one of the various stores and shops where you will do a variety of different things. You could be asked to stock shelves, do the cash regis- ter, make up signs, pump gas, clean, an- swer the phones, or even count money. The hours that people work vary greatly depending upon where you work and how much time you are avail- able. Most people work on average three days after school for four hours a day and on Saturday for about seven hours. The average wages seem to be $4.20 per hour. Most people don't enjoy working. It 's not that they don’t like where they work and what they do, but it takes time away from what they really want, such as to be with friends or go out on Friday or Saturday nights. Whatever the reason though, you have to admit one thing. You are getting the green stuff with the numbers and pictures printed on it. and that's what you set out to do!

Staying Late If you can’t find a job in one of the places around town, or you don’t want to work there, you still have one more choice — get a job at the high school. It's not a bad paying job at all. You get more than minimum wage. In fact, you get $4.00 an hour. The requirements of this job are to sweep the halls, paint, clean the gym and the bleachers, and to clean the locker rooms. About ten minutes after school, the job starts. You work from 2:00 to 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday. Although you don’t get any benefits with this job, there are some advantages. You don't have to work on holi- days or when there is no school. By: Bonnie Nadel Animation 31 Have you ever found your eyelids drooping no matter how hard you try to prop them open? Well, you’re not alone! There are people in our school who con- stantly find themselves being left alone in their classes, long after the bell has rung. How many times have you missed im- portant class notes for an upcoming test that you didn't know about, just because you were catching a few ZZZ’s? After re- ceiving an Fon the test, you promise your- self and your mother, that you’ll try and stay awake, yet you don't. This is not an unusual story. Again you become comatose in class while your teacher glues her all-knowing eyes on you and asks for that essay that's worth % of your grade. You, the unknow- ing suspect, are held responsible for hav- ing to tell her that you know NOTHING about it! Again, this is not an unheard of situation. The Answer to 2 is . . . Mike? Why is it that this uncontrollable wave of zombieness has been running rampant throughout our nation’s educational insti- tutions! Could it be that these students who doze everyday in class are actually staying up until the wee hours of the morn- ing to do school work? Or is it that they are true humanitarians and spend every wak- ing hour of the day volunteering for the local day care center? Or maybe, just may- be, there is that slim chance that they are actually out partying all night? Nah!! Possibly by adding more pizzazz to our already overly interesting courses, we can keep these zombies awake!

Sleep Your Own Time Teresa Diaz catches a few ZZZZZZ’s dur- ing gym. The light of dawn breaks through your window. Birds chirp cheerfully in the trees outside, and your alarm is screaming, loudly. The shriek brings you out of that peaceful period of rest called sleep. Sleep is a state charac- terized by a slowing of the metabo- lism. brought on by fatigue. Every- one needs to sleep and spends about 8-10 hours each night going between periods of deep sleep and periods of dreaming. Occasionally there are nightmares involving screaming pur- ple watermelons. One third of your life is spent sleeping, about the same amount of time you spend in school. Hopefully these two thirds are not one in the same. The figure of 8-10 hours is at best an average and many students find they get less than this. This mysteri- ous disappearance of sleep could be caused by any number of reasons. Among these, the midnight study for the three hour major test, or the 3:00 AM 300 page term paper. A lack of sleep could possibly cause you to (gasp!) fall asleep in class. School is an interesting place to fall asleep but some students have probably woken up in stranger. Many a person has gotten rich be- cause of this natural function. Chances are if you are sleeping too little or too much there is a remedy for you at the local pharmacy. Coffee can keep you from sleeping (or blink- ing if you have too much) and is cer- tainly well known to some students. Also money making items are mat- tresses, blankets, pillows, quilts, etc. All of these may help you sleep but sometimes all you need is a droning voice. Some people might say that cram- ming is a good way to study for a test, but it really isn’t. There is nothing better to prepare yourself for a test than a good night's sleep. In fact few things can make you feel as fresh ami renewed as a night spent sleeping soundly. So grab that electric blanket and teddy bear and catch forty winks. By: Michael Slade Animation 33 ° School Rules Mandatory Discipline You and a group of friends are standing at the end of the hallway talking about what happened in last periods history class. When all of a sudden a school ad- ministrator comes over, taps you on the shoulder, and reminds you about one of the many rules found in the school handbook: Thou shall walk quietly and quickly in the corridors when going from class to class.” That is just one of the rules that we. as students, are supposed to live by. But there are many others. Remember how many times you went to class, sat down, and put your feet on the person's chair in front of you? I bet you didn't know that there's a rule that says you can't do that! Thou shall not lounge on the desks. Thou shall keep thy feet Hat on the floor and off the fur- niture. When this rule is disobeyed, the teachers always say something like “You wouldn’t put your feet on the fur- niture at home, would you?” That rule is something like the one that says, Thou shall avoid improper language on the bus. The way that is worded, it sounds as if language is com- ing after you, and you can't get out of the way. Now picture this. It's 7th period study hall. You're sitting there listening to your favorite cassette on your Sony Walkman. When out of the blue, your teacher comes over and takes it away. To which the teacher promptly says. “You can pick this up in the office at the end of the week. We attribute this to the ter- rific rule that says: Thou shall not bring radios, tape recorders, tape decks, or the like to school. How many of these rules have YOU broken today!

Parents Who Do Drugs have Kids that do Drugs Just Say What? If you have heard any of these slogans, then you are probably aware of the nation- wide drug problem. Drugs in- terfere with everyone’s lives. Make sure it is not yours! Laws We Broke The Law In an effort to reduce the volume of drug related activity in the schools of New Jersey, new legislation has been passed with severe penalties for stu- dents involved with drugs. This year we had two students who made the mistake of taking illegal drugs before going to school. The two teen- agers took what they thought to be mes- caline, but was said to be LSI) by the investigators. They were taken to Bay- shore Community Hospital in Holmdcl Township where they were treated and released. As the new law stands, a minor de- clared a delinquent by the courts faces a chance to lose his her license for a mini- mum of six months or a maximum of two years. They will also have to serve 100 hours of community service and can face a fine up to $3000.00. This makes a very great impact on the students. This is a serious matter and everyone should be working together to inform students of the harmful effects of drug use. said Dr. Hall. Cigarettes are also a drug.

I have nothing to wear! If you don't look just right, your mood is ruined and you don’t want to go out. Looks are definitely one of the most important things in our lives. We judge first by looks and second by personality, (in most instances) We make sure to have a mirror around: in lockers, on sun visors, in girls pocketbooks — just in case that special someone is walking down the hall. (You’ve gotta look your best.) When we’re home (like on Sunday afternoon) we don’t seem to care about our looks as much. I guess that comfort- able clothes like sweatpants, and t-shirts help us to relax after a tough work week. Good looks sometimes means covering up physical deformities like its or thun- der thighs. “When I was younger. I was teased about my freckles so much that I tried Porcelana fading cream and lemon juice to get rid of them! Now it doesn’t bother me, accept in the summer when the freckles grow together” into what looks like one big spot.” Many teenagers today are often found to be struggling for a look that will fit their life styles or their surroundings. We find ourselves keeping up with the look of today’s world in our own special ways. Some special ways might include exotic hair styles, ripped clothing, an occasional aerobic workout, joining a sport, or NO REPEAT” outfits.

You slowly put on the goggles, as not to mess up the hair, and start and experiemnt. Two periods crawl by and it is now time to clean up the lab sta- tion. you can finally take off your apron, and more impor- tantly, THE GOGGLES!! After returning your apron to the locker and putting the goggles in the cabinet, you begin to stroll back to your seat. You then look at your reflection in a purse size mirror. Oh. No!”, ( o gel itis Trust me Mrs. Sackerman, you're going to look fine. you exclaim. “I’ve seen this happen to others, but I thought it would never happen to me!! No. you haven't contracted a dreaded disease from the Afri- can jungle, it is none other than goggelitis. This unfortunate oc- curance sneaks up on you while you are in Chemsitry lab. It is caused by wearing your goggles strapped on too tight, or just plain wearing them. The dark red indention, per- fectly outlines where these plas- tic eye protectors had a once, semi-permanent resting place around your eyes. But not to worry!! This perfo- ration of the face fades within hours, which feels like a few centuries. By: Kari Thomas Goggelitis is just about to set in during Chemistry lab . . . OH NO!! Venturing out of the house the wind whips your hair, jacket closed and scarf on, you step onto the walk . . . sinking waist deep into snow. Gloved hands grab for a tree limb to pull yourself up. Your books fall on the sidewalk . . . Finally you recover, books in hand you set out on your journey. The raging blizzard throws hailstones in your face and snow- flakes in your eyes. Suddenly a 50mph wind hits you as you step on a patch of ice. You had just recovered your dignity when you find yourself sprawled flat on your face — a spec- tacle for passing cars to stare at. Many students have had a similar experience and proclaim that the Surgeon General says it's hazardous to your health. A snowstorm is one of the many problems that students face when they have to walk to and from school in the winter time. The icy patches, the uncovered sidewalks, walking to school in boots and then changing to shoes near your locker; all these contribute to burdensome journeys to and from school. Many students don't mind the weather that much, but a few face another problem: attempting to cross the street at Matawan's various major highways and intersections. Cars whizzing past you, you take your chance plunging through the traffic. Dodging various vehicles you make it across. Whew!! Although many of us face these problems each day, some students look at it in a positive way. Walking, no matter how fast, is good exercise: so even if you dislike it. it will do you good in the long run. Now you know the facts. If you drive your own car or get a ride, and see a friend walking in the snow, stop and ask, Hey! Do you want a ride?” Want a Ride? Kristen drabs a change of clothing after field hockey. Transportation 41 Transportation Getting There Take the school bus, walk, or have your mom or dad pick you up from school each day? All of us arc faced with these three choices of transportation. However, many of us don’t have access to these modes of transportation. Some of us don’t drive, or live too far away. Ever wait twenty minutes for the school bus and discover that your watch has stopped and the bus left hours ago? Maybe your locker was jammed, or you run out the door with your books in one hand, your hookbag in the other, and your coat half oil'to find your bus tear- ing out of the parking lot. For those of us who take the bus, by the time gradu- ation comes, you will most likely have had this experience. Students who take the bus are lucky in a way because if they miss the bus going home, they can catch the late bus. The late bus is a great idea because if you have to stay after for some extra-curricular activity or sport. the late bus will drop you oft almost di- rectly in front of your house. Have you ever had to wait for half an hour to be picked up from school be- cause either your mom or dad lost track of time? This has happened to many of us who are driven to and picked up from school. However, there are good things about this. When it’s cold outside, the car is nice and warm and in the summer, the air conditioning is on. Many of us are also lucky enough to have our own cars and park in the park- ing lots with a parking sticker, of course. If you don’t fit into any of these cate- gories, you probably live fairly close to school, or your parents work and can’t pick you up. You may even be able to drive but don’t have your own car. You are one of many who has to walk to and from school — which isn't that bad — except for when it rains or snows. By: Sue Sarlo • • • It's a cold and icy day. There is a foot of snow on the ground from the storm hist week. You trek from First Street to get to school, your sneakers are soaked and you think your nose is frostbitten. Why do you do this? Because you have your own car but you have to park on First-Seventh Street, behind the church, or in the D-section and you don’t have a parking permit. You thought that by driving your own car, you would avoid walking to the bus stop or to school but now you have to walk from your car. This is why they give out parking per- mits for the two parking lots. Not every- one can get a permit, only Seniors. At the beginning of every year. Seniors line up at the office and wait to get their permits. All you have to show is your driver’s license and registration and you must have a good driving record from the Junior year. All CIE students get at the top of the list for the permits. Stu- dent Council and Senior class officers receive special permits for the front parking lot. For all underclassmen it is a good idea to get a parking permit when you be- come a Senior because it is a privilege. If the privilege is broken, a Saturday de- tention may be the result. So, drive carefully and good luck! By: Cindy Smith Bus IT arrives early — no time for a stop at the locker. HEALTH How Do You Feel? If you're feeling sick, never fear, the nurse is here!

If that is not enough, our school lunch program takes care of our nutritional health by providing a standard lunch for $1.40: entree (pizza, ravioli, steak sand- wich. etc. . .) with choice of fruit, vege- table, and milk. When you try to be slick and substi- tute an orange drink for a milk, or you stick fries on the tray instead of a veggie, you will hear those lovely words: That's not a lunch!

You, as a student, know that it’s a necessary part of high school. A varied se- lection of courses are offered to you. One course is Basic Math Skills. Also, General or Applied Math is available. These courses give you a basic understanding of Math and its practi- cal applications. A journey to college requires three large steps: Algebra 1, Geometry, and Algebra 2. Al- gebra is the branch of Math where symbols stand for numbers. In the course, you learn such things as integers, irrational numbers, quadratic equa- tions and the FOIL method. Upon successful completion of this course, you are able to take Geometry. Much of this course is memorizing theorems and solving proofs. You learn about parallel and perpendicular lines, congruency, and similarity. Following Geometry, you can take Algebra 2. In this course you learn about polynomials, radicals, logorithyms and linear and quadratic functions. If you complete Alge- bra 2 in three marking periods. Trigonometry is offered. It involves sines, cosines and tangents. Webster says, “Calculus is the method or pro- cess of reasoning by computation of symbols.” Our school offers two years of Calculus, AB and BC. Calculus AB deals with differentiation and integration. Calculus BC deals with vectors and improper integrals. A math related career or entry to a good col- lege requires students to do well.

During this year of history, sophomores can imagine themselves going through trenches, meeting with famous lead- ers and becoming a united nation, all for only five credits. In US History I you learn about Coloniza- tion, The Revolution, and The Constitution. You meet such interesting characters as Thomas Jefferson who wrote the Declaration of Independence, and Abraham Lincoln who issued the Emancipation Proclamation free- ing all slaves. US History 1 ends with the end of the Civil War and the Reconstruction peri- od.

Materials and Appartatus: Mr. Tice, Mr. Rego, Mrs. Marvald, Mrs. Fleischer, Mr. Klwell, Mr. Crego, Mr. Beadle, Mr. McKenna, books, and a lot of students. Purpose: Ask questions and write down informa- tion. Observations: 1. The first class is Oceanography taught by Mr. Rego. At the beginning of the vear, the class goes to Sandy Hook to collect fish and start a tank. Then the students must observe the organ- isms and test the tank water to keep it balanced like the ocean. They have to do a tank summary everv marking period along with other essays. Kim Patania and Pam Robertson agree that it is a good and fun course. They don't get any home- work and occasionally see movies on the sea and life in the water. 2. Next is Earth Science taught by Mr. Crego. The class deals with the weather, atmosphere, layers that make up the Earth, planets, and craters on the moon. Students say that it is a very interesting class and you learn a lot. 3. Chemistry is the next class taught by Mrs. Marvald and Mrs. Fleischer. This course is hard, but per- forming the labs is very interesting. You learn about the Periodic Table, elements, equation writ- ing. dimensional analysis and forming compounds. 4. Foil owing is Physics Honors taught by Mr. SlcKen- na. I interviewed Cathy Sheehan who said this class is very analytical and visual.” It deals with rate, speed, velocity, and distance. It is a very good class to take if you are going on to college.

See. it's all com- ing back to you now . . . Learning a foreign language is a unique experi- ence. You have to start at the beginning on the same level your 5 year old sister is learning Eng- lish. It may not always be easy. When we talk to friends or anyone in English we don’t have to think about how to pronounce the words or what word would fit better in the sentence. But when we speak in another language we have to think about the answer and what the other people are saying. Spanish and French are the two most com- monly taken languages. Spanish classes are usu- ally full because most kids feel Spanish is the easiest language to learn. French is a lot like Spanish. A lot of the words sound alike and are borrowed from Latin. Kids who take French say that they like the way the words just roll off of their tongues while Spanish sounds choppier. Latin is not a conversational language but it can help students in identifying word roots, suf- fixes, and prefixes. This helps us on the SAT vo- cabulary. For all you pizza lovers — you will be able to order all the toppings in Italian after an introduc- tion to the language. Four years of Italian are offered. French 5 and Spanish 5 are the only weighted foreign languages. As a final step stu- dents concentrate on fluency in conversation. . . . See, that wasn’t so hard.

In their classes starting with Computer Applications, the people just starting with computers, all the way to Computer Science II. Computer Sci- ence II is supposed to be an honors course, hut that’s not what it seems like to me, most of the time, they just play games. These kids come in every day, turn me on and start working. I can’t say that all the kids are bad, some of them really know what they are doing. Those kids are gentle, and they don’t blame mistakes on me like most of the other people. I can understand why they want to use me, the latest technology since the calculator. Knowing that fact. I still think the kids should have a good reason for taking these classes. When asked the question. “Why are you taking computers’ courses?’’ the kids in the classes had different things to say. Freshman Jon Moskow said, “I took the computer’s courses because if you continue all the way through you can get 10 weighted credits in your last year.” Another Freshman, Barry Chu said, “I am taking computers’ courses because I would like to pursue a career in computers.” By: Ken Berger Computers 67 y1 hoice of lasses Can you please bring those cue cards closer?

They can be themselves, or maybe they can act like animals, (literally!) while having fun. It’s really hard work, and takes a lot of guts. But yeah, it really is worth it!

The teens of the eighties tend to get involved in college and careers before marriage. Sociology class offers a family simulation in the egg project. Stu- dents are married and receive a child (egg). They must care for their egg as if it was alive. When a parent is not present, there must be a babysitter keeping an eye on it. The egg may not be damaged on completion of the project or points will be subtracted from the parents' grades. Sociology makes you think about practical things. re- marks Creg Kalt. senior. Kids get an idea of what the world practical is really like. Did you know that if you were part of a certain Indian tribe your father would be proud of you if you hit him when he made you angry? To these fathers rebellion is the mak- ings of a fine businessman. It is something to admire. Cultures like these are compared to Ameri- can culture in Anthropology.

Away from our desks, we re allowed to create and learn things which apply to real life. These classes are industrial and prac- tical arts. Each one ranging from Auto Me- chanics to Cosmetology allows us to break away from our regular class work. What we learn is immediately applicable, open to personal interpretation, and provides a basis for our careers. In Auto Mechanics students learn the basics of car do’s and don’ts through lec- tures and filmstrips. Occasional hands-on experience leads to working knowledge of skills necessary. After this training, stu- dents arc well prepared to handle any wreck on the road. For those of us who find our hair is a wreck, the Cosmetology Center is located in the West wing. Cosmetology is a two year course for Juniors and Seniors. Four periods each day are spent on learning the tools and tricks of this trade. On the other less “glamorous side of practical and industrial arts is Wood Shop. This class allows for much creativity. Occasionally annoying, are the aromas flowing from the Home Economics room. Hungry students peer in to see the class learning to prepare meals, as well as budget- ing a household, sewing and child care. Other students learn different skills. Elec- tronics students are given assignments like a floor plan where they must run wiring through a house. Most students like the class because they learn Electronics in a useful way. Telecommunications is another example. In this course students have the chance to operate radio, cable, and T.V equipment in our school studio. In more advanced classes they produce their own programs. These courses represent practical oppor- tunities as well as a place to show skill.

It is called Retin-A, and derma- tologists are giving it to patients for almost any skin problem. Re- tin-A is the cure-all of the skin around the world. It comes as a creme with a .05% concentra- tion, or a gel with a .01% con- centration. Retin-A exfoliates your skin, repairs sun damage, makes your skin look younger, and liquifies dirt and oil in your pores so that you can just wash it completely oil' of your face. This chemical is so amazing—it seems impossible that we can find such an unbelievably help- ful and totally harmless drug! BY: Orly Mishan Beautiful skin begins with Retin-A Taking out the garbage was al- ways an annoying chore, but now it’s worse! In November of 1987 a law was passed in the N.J state congress stating that the citizens must separate their gar- bage. There are many restrictions about what can and cannot be placed in the garbage for the sanitation workers to pick up. Although this new law may help in solving N.J.’s environmental problems, which are well known throughout the nation, it also creates a lot of inconven- iences such as: You may not put garbage in plastic bags. Your newspapers also have to be tied just the way they like it. They’re to be se- curely bundled, no more than 12 inches high, and tied both ways. If it happens that you miss the pickup day, there are con- tainers located at Gravelly- Brook Bark. You will be fined $500 if you break the rules, and your regular garbage won’t be picked up. This could build up into quite a stinky problem. By: Bonnie Nadel and Lorin Edelman t 84 We Wait for a Cure Aquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) is a deadly disease that destroys the im- mune system's key white blood cells, which prevent us from getting pneumonia, tuberculo- sis. and some types of cancer. More than 1.5 million Ameri- cans have been infected with the disease: 25-30% are expect- ed to show signs of AIDS. The others may develop a related (but seldom fatal) syndrome. ARC or may not experience any symptoms. A scary fact about AIDS is that the incubation pe- riod is 5-10 years. This means that someone can carry and pass on the disease to others before it's detected. AIDS is spread through blood and semen. High Risk groups in- clude homosexuals and bisex- uals; intraveneous drug users; children of AIDS patients, and those who frequently change sexual partners. However, any- one can be infected with the dis- ease, and will go on to spread it. It is w'ise to use condoms if you are sexually active, and use cau- tion when dealing with open wounds. As of now there is no cure for AIDS. Although researchers have found a vaccine to slow the process and pain, a full-fledged vaccine is nowhere in sight.

When the news came out. the sound of medicine cabinets snapping open echoed across the country. For years now, doc- tors have prescribed aspirin for people who have already had heart attacks since it helps thin out the blood if arteries happen to be clogged due to high cholesterol. But just as there is a good side to every- thing. there is a bad side as well. Too much aspirin can cause nau- sea. internal bleeding, and ag- gravate gastric ulcers. Some people are allergic to it, and go into shock when it is taken. Aspirin is not a magical cure. A good way to avoid the risk of a heart attack is to lower your Latest Breakthrough cholesterol level, stop smoking, and exercise.

The time they spent practicing paid off. The boy’s Cross Country team never knew how tough it could be until they spent most of their free time running five mile courses. Erik Reinhold made us aware that they not only practice running, but also proper breathing on tough terrain. The only way to get psycneci up mentally is alone. The guys on the team are quiet and calm.

Break Away IVlan on, man on. lie’s coming on quickly. Break away — Hun the ball up the field — Pass right — your wing is open — cross it to the goal — SCOBE!!! The past series of events happened enough times to send our Varsi- ty soccer team to the state competition. For an excellent team like ours to endure an entire season, it is necessary that practice begins in the summer. Highlights of a typi- cal practice include five laps around the soccer field, three on two scrimmages, traps, and sprints. Our team is a close group. Thev need to be because conversa- tion on the field is the key to high scoring games. Future goals for a better team in 1988 are more practice and discipline. No more messing around, says Jimmy Bu .go, varsity. Varsity coach, Mr. Cohen, has been twice commended on his ability to promote a team effort and extinguish the success on the part of only the individual. “Mr. Cohen does what is best for the team.” Seniors in the final season arc some of the finest: Jeff Janota, Glenn Campbell. Rith Ouch, David lelinski, and Warren Cohen. A lot of young talent has been left behind in such strong players as Tom Sorenson who letters in Varsity as a freshman. Junior Varsity is just now beginning to become a more efficient groun. With Todd Lubcck as captain along with Rich Mould and Coach Lucach, there are good things coming!

With A Smile and A Cheer Jr rom the stands you can see our Varsity Cheerleaders have really got it together. When you watch those 14 maroon and white uniforms on the field or on the court they look totally dedicated to what they do. Captain Jenny McLaughlin says that “This year is better than the others. The team is more disciplined and more original. Our JV Cheerleaders — they are always out there w ith a smile and a cheer. The future Varsity Cheerleaders really do a lot for the team. They cheer at all the JV games and help from the sidelines at the Varsity games. One credit to the team’s great cheering is all the time they spend practicing. They practiced Tuesday and Thursday evenings over the summer and after school they practice 3 days a week. The JV and Varsity practice separately hut work on the same types of cheers. For one of the first years the cheerleaders are trying something new . They are practic- ing intricate dance and pyramids. The cheering season doesn't end at Homecoming. Basketball season comes next. The cheerleaders cheer at home Varsity games. If we all had the Matawan-Aberdeen Cheerleaders cheering us on. who wouldn’t win?

Mr. Thornton, along with his assistants. Mr. Fidel and Mr. Perkins, set the wrestlers on a series of rigorous training programs that would im- prove the strength, endurance and overall technique of the team. Wrestling, unlike any other team sports, is entirely one on one; when you're out on the mat being held in a “guillotine there is no nearby linebacker to lend a helping hand—you’re strictly on your own. Obviously, wrestling requires an immense amount of self discipline. ‘“The hardest part”, says senior Dave Jelinski. is losing weight before a match, especially when vour friends wave lollipops in your face! The team’s record of 4-17 was in no way indicative of Matawan“s ability and despite the losses, four of our members ranked in the District competitions. At the Regions as well, Matawan came hack victorious. Three wrestlers. Ray DeSimone, Jarod Machinga, and Danny Kadutho- dil qualified for the states. (DeSimone placed eighth in the states and Machinga placed seventh.) This year, in terms of individual performance, was a successful one. According to coach Thornton, The toughened schedule made all the difference, and by the end of the season a change was really noticeable.” The coach is looking forward to a bright future, although he adds, “More guys should come out for the team, after that ” he continues, everything will take care of itself” —and doubtless it will!!

The team finished second in a strong B-North division. The Huskies were ranked in the top ten in Monmouth County for the entire year and. at one point, they were ranked as high as fourth in the country. The team later advanced to the Shore Conference Tournament and then to the New Jersey State Tournament. It was a season that many of the players will never forget. Only two starters returned from the 1987 team: four-time letter winner, Brian Sivin. and three-time letter winner. Brett Wallcrstein. The team lost 5 out of 7 of last year's starters, but the Huskies gambled with the thought of achieving even more than last sear's team. Sivin played first singles and Wallcrstein played second singles. The other five spots consisted of other Seniors. Juniors, and Sophomores. The team plays approximately a 16-18 match schedule. All practices and home matches are held at Strathmore Swim Club. Practice starts after school at 2:30 and usually ends around -1:30. It l cgins in mid-March while the matches begin the beginning of April. The season usually ends the end of May. smooth follow through by Judy Adamski. A Great Season Girls Varsity Tennis, under the direction of Dr. Larry Goldstein had a great season. Even though they didn't come out with a winning record, they did win 8 matches. Their Pinal record was S-9. The team plays from the begin- ning of the school year until the end of October. Home games are played at the Strathmore Tennis and Bath. The team had lots of spirit this year and showed it in many ways. Some highlights were watching Jennifer Kenas win her first match against St. John's Jeannie Gambino, and Kim Nixon and Amy Jacobs in their great comeback against Raiitan.

There is nothing so exhilerating as running in the sunlight with the cold breeze blowing through your hair. Those who do not run may not agree, but the dedicated runners of spring track experience that feel- ing everyday. Spring track practice begins early in March, with meets starting the first week of April, and continues through the rest of the year. Prac- tice is everyday after school, rain or shine, until four o’clock. Every- one must run laps around the track, at least one mile. Next they Stretch out as a team. Afterwards, members are divided into their own individual events: sprinters, distance runners, and field participants. Spring track coaches are Dr. Goldstein (sprinting, hurdles). Mr. Rego (head coach-distance runners), and Mr. Spells (field events). Spring track is built upon the hard work and concentration of the students involved. They must be prepared to have a gruelling work- out everyday and have the strength to make it to the next day.

Start with an idea of what a page will look like, take pictures, choose the best ones, write an article, make-up captions, trace the layout on special carbon papers, and type all the writing after checking for errors. Do this two hundred and thirty more times, and presto a Yearbook! Surv eys and interviews help us to maintain accurately events of the year. It's not easy. Deadlines of up to 70 pages at a time come six times a year. The last 16 pages are due March 18th. You can see why it is hard to cover events in the late spring. Upperclassmen will notice several changes in Pillar this year. For one: it has a delinite theme (choice), two: it has feature articles all the way through on topics from family disputes to hairspray. three: the first thing you noticed — the cover is laminated!

Awareness ie Black Student Union (BSU) has approximately 25 active members. The purpose of the chib is to promote black awareness. Mr. Boss is advisor. The club was revived last year with about ten members. On Februars 19th BSU sponsored a spirit day for Black History Month. BSU decorated the halls with articles and pic- tures of black entertain- ers. heroes, and leaders. The display also included articles on South Africa. Ancient Egypt, and the Civil Bights Movement. The color scheme of the day was red — for blood, green — for courage and black. Members wore red and black. On March 24th BSl sponsored its first dance, in the cafeteria. BSU also participated in a minority career day. The group visited Monmouth College where various speakers spoke to black students about their ca- reers. A banquet is planned honoring outstanding black students for aca- demic and athletic excel- lence. as well as service and dedication to activi- ties. BSU hopes for a sense of pride in who they are and where they come from. Bv: Heather Wathington TOP TO BOTTOM: Jonas Dean. Kenyon Thomas. Michelle Watson.

VICA CIE is a club whose purpose is to help out the community. They orga- nize things to get clothes and food to the needy. Each of the kids has a job outside of school as part of their involvement in this club which is headed by Mr. Spells. As yet the club has done fundraising, such as selling cookies and they are planning a basketball game between Mr. Spells and Keith Markowitz, the presi- dent of the club. “Mr. Spells will get hooped,” says vice-president Glen Campbell (who also informed me that he has the looks in the club and Keith has the brawn). The game was originally planned to be be- tween VICA CIE members and some of the Matawan High School faculty but it seems that teachers weren't able to get organized. We don't have any of the teachers behind us besides Mr. Spells, says Keith Markowitz. At the end of each year the club has a banquet and they meet with other VICA CIE mem- bers in the region. VICA CIE teaches students responsi- bilities and leadership. The club goes on field trips to different companies and their facilities, learning about what is done there. The kids get in touch with life after high school, so if you want to find out about the real world, choose to join VICA CIE. FRONT L-R: G. Campbell, N Bomhico A Rodrigue 2ND L-R: K Markowitz.

Lisa Baglino turned on the water, and the hose took on a mind of its own. The water was sprayed all over three cus- tomers, a teacher, and two students as the water hose danced like a snake above the sink. The lady sat there waiting to have her hair dyed. Michelle squirted the dye bottle, not realizing that the top was off. She was covered with dye splattered on her hands, face, anti clothes. When learning something new, mis- takes must always be made, and the two above are the funnier ones that Cosme- tology students have experienced while learning to become professional hair dressers. The students do perms, hair- cuts. styling, waxing, manicures, and pedicures. (Pedicures are supposed to be the worst). They practice the hair- styles, etc. on mannequins and get in- structional packets every 2-3 weeks along with help from Mrs. Quinn, or Ms. D'Ambrose. By the time they work on a real person they have most of the tech- nique downpat (except for how to turn on the sink). Kidding aside, our Cosme- tology students are competent hair de- signers as shown by the large clientel they get every Wednesday and Friday. These two days are the Cosmetology clinic. W-l 15 becomes a real beauty sa- lon! When a client is happy with the overall look it gives the designer a sense of inspiration. There is even a hairshow to allow the hair designers to display their form of artwork. VICA CIE Future Hair 135 Mark Wright.

Students Against Drinking and Driving is an organiza- tion mainly interested in public awareness and the safety of peers. Six years ago, Bob Anastas founded the national S.A.D.D. organization, after two teens he knew were killed in alcohol related accidents. Over the past several years attempts have been made to start a successful S.A.D.D. chapter. However, this is the first time an offi- cial chapter has been established. Although, without an advisor. Mr. George Hart, assistant principal will take charge until a teacher will fill the position. Approxi- mately one-hundred students came together to form this organization. Some projects included: A breakfast sale. Video tape contest, S.A.D.D. Awareness day. alcohol knowledge test prom contest, dance, and a presentation to the eighth-graders in the junior high school. Membership is open to anv students that support the beliefs of S.A.D.D. ‘S.A.A.D. does not condone drinking by those below the legal drinking age. S.A.D.D. encourages all young peo- ple to obey the laws of their state, including laws relat- ing to the legal drinking age. •Reprinted from the S.A.D.D. Contract for Life.

They dis- cuss dances, decide things about the Senior class trip and gradu- tion. Julie Straley is this year's Senior Class President, Dave Je- linski is Senior Class Vice Presi- dent, Alyne Heller is the class secretary and Julie Goldstein is acting treasurer. The Junior Class has the honor of making plans about the Junior Senior Prom. They raise final funds for their class trip the fol- lowing year. The Junior ('lass President is Keith Bernstien and the Vice President is Jeanette live. The treasurer is Wendy Po- sen and the secretar is Kellv liorl. The Sophomore and Freshmen classes basically raise money for their upcoming trips and the prom. They also plan dances. The Sophomore President is Bernic Kluger and the Vice President is Lauren Edleman. The secretary is Iris Mehlman and the treasurer is Christine Foster. The Freshman class President is Thomas Sorenson and the Vice President is Jesse Markus. The treasurer is Barry Chu and the secretary is Eylissa Silverman. Being officials for our classes is not an easy job. It takes a lot ol dedication and responsibility. Many students also take an active part in their classes. Homeroom Representatives are elected to go to their class meetings and inform the officers of the students' views and to tell the students of the offi- cer's ideas. Also, interested stu- dents are urged to come to the class meetings and join in on tin discussions.

This is a typical topic for an Im- promptu speech, one of the many categories of competition in the Speech and Debate team. There are also competitions in drama monologues or dialogues poetry reading, debate, mock congress, etc. Some catagories require a lot of preparation — such as drama. K - tcmp and Debate are preceded by research where everyone con corned spends a day at Orly 's house making files and taking notes 'You hoar the muted clink of balls on the pool table. The 8 ball misses the picket hv a hair, and the room erupts into friendly mocking.

It's a statement about your overall personality, immediate influ- ences (cliches, magazines, me- dia. etc.) and that extra style that sets you apart from anyone else. If fashion leads to style, what then leads to fashion? The an- swer is fads, what's in” what's out —or what you gotta have! The major starting point is clothing. The colors that were most of- ten seen this season, were, for S' the most part, neutrals: varying shades of browns, beiges, khakis, and olive greens, that when combined with peach produced knockout combina- tions. These fantastic contrasts were sported in the form of mi- cro-minis, “barely there” crop tops, and baggy pants. Frosted, acid washed, iced, and abused were only a few of the hundreds of names given to the new look in denim. Jeans, jackets, shirts, pocket books, hats, and even socks bore the characteristic streaked appear- ance. Clothes got casual in the form of college sweats, Levi 50l's, No Excuses, Guess, and com- fortable concert tees. Matte gold, sparkling silver, and beautiful bronze were per- fect accessories to the warm tones that characterized the season. Wide elastic belts were another hot item. Earrings that made their appearance in wide eyed hoops and wild geometric shapes turned the ordinary into extraordinary. Fila and Avia sneaks hit the road, and what reigned again on guys and girls alike were boots—all lengths—ranging from petite ankle boots to knee high equestrian styles. But as every year, it was each to his own. the style that fits you is the true meaning of fashion. Bv: Trina Hor - - - -K-fc Graduate From Highschool in TWO funfilled hours!!!

Have a Hart Last October everywhere you turned you were accosted with the name and image of Donna Rice. The beautiful for- mer models face adorned al- most every magazine, newspa- per and news broadcast in the nation. Her fame, though, was not due to any particular act of mer- it on her part; in fact her name became a household word due to her intimate association with politician Gary Hart, a rather too close relationship for a mar- ried man. Gary Hart's infidelity toward his wife became the focus of public attention. The media de- voured stories of Hart's and Rice's rendezvous on Hart's yacht and various secretive meetings at hotels and night- clubs. Each story further da- maged Hart's once successful Presidential campaign. The politician's popularity as well suffered greatly for his scandal- ous behavior. The continuing pressure forced Hart to drop out of the Presidential race. He later re-entered but then once again dropped out. On the other hand. Rice fared not nearly so badly. Her new foun d fame landed her an adver- tising contract with No Excuses Ap- parel. However, she was later fired for no apparent reason. Could it be, as Johnny Carson once said, that She ran out of excuses.”?

After numerous rumors and scandals raged the media, an indepen- dent council was headed by for- mer Congressman Tower. The Tower Report pointed out who did what. All those who had de- nied their action in the previous four months claimed they had forgotten” what they had done or were unaware of their subor- dinates' actions. This brought about a joke that Reagan was an old, senile man. The story began to die. The Iran-Contra Hearings be- gan in the spring and in mid- July. Colonel Oliver North came to the stand; his perfor- mance was so intelligent, charis- matic, and even believable to a great many. He became a na- tional folk hero, and the media ate it up. Then the story began to die again. On the week of March 18. 1988 Oliver North resigned from the marines, and Reagan ordered a small number of American troops to battle with the Contras. Now we see this story alive again as a big issue in the 1988 Presidential cam- paigns. How w ill the affair affect the elections of our next presi- dent and his policies once in the White House? We will have to wait until next year to see. Baby M In March of 1986, Mary Beth Whitehead had a baby. The baby didn't have a name until just over a year later when the landmark Baby M decision was handed down. William and Eliz- abeth Stern hired Whitehead to have a child for them because Elizabeth Stern was unable to have children. The Judge gave custody to the Sterns and took away all of Whitehead's paren- tal rights by saying she could never legally see the child again. In February of 1988 the decision was reversed and limit- ed visitation rights, to White- head. States are still divided over the issue of surrogacy and will probably come to separate conclusions.

Suddenly we weren’t the oldest anymore. After two years ofbeing the upperclassmen in both Lloyd Road and Matawan Avenue, we were reduced to infan- tile status. That's not to say we took it badly. Sure, it was a change and the first few days were pretty confusing, but all-in-all we re getting our act together. Now we re ready to show Matawan High School what the “Frosh” are made of. We intend to make our mark on Matawan, and once we have-it won’t be easily erased. After all we re used to being the hest and that's not going to change.

For me that was definitely what it was like. People say that in New York you have to be careful and always look like you know where you are going. Every upperclassman walked around the school with such confidence because they knew where they were going. I didn't. Sure. I pretend- First Day ed to know, but half of the time I had no idea where I was. I followed people hoping that they were going to about the same place as I was. Before school started, hundreds of students mulled around talking to friends. Screams of girls rang in my ear- drums as they ran to each other professing how much they had missed one another (even though they actually lived right next to each other and spent half the summer on the telephone talking). Guys stood in circles outdoing each oth- er, or at least trying, with their terribly exciting stories of the summer.fworking at the gas station part time and the f;irl that might have winked at him on Inly 1) The new reshmen ran around trying to find a familiar face in one of their 4th period Biologv classes. When tl lie doors opened ever so slowly, people streamed into the school. Lets face it. the freshman began to look a tab bit concerned. It seemed to me that everyone except me knew what to do. Thank God for the student handbook with those maps on the back. I couldn't have made it through the day without it. But I wasn't the only one with the map taped to the cover of my notcliook. Almost every freshman had a copy hidden somewhere so they could look at it on the sly. Okay, so maybe I had a bad day and walked into the wrong classroom three times. WHO CARES? It was fun despite all that. A completely new experience. Do your parents tell you about their first da in high school? Mine do over and over. . . I used to laugh at them because of all the stupid things they did. The always used to say - you will see. you will see. When it's your turn, you'll see!! I can't laugh at them anymore.

No lame excuses: 'T was watching my little brother and he was looking at cartoons and A poll was taken recently to find out which class watched the most cartoons and what cartoon was the most popular. The freshman class seems to be the number one cartoon watchers. The sophomores, who claim to have nothing bet- ter to do. came in second place. Surprisingly, the seniors take 3rd place watching cartoons more often than the ju- niors. According to the poll, the most popular cartoon is The Jetsons. Close behind is The Smurfs.

We are the first graduating class of the 90s and proud of it. And in less than two years we have made a lasting impression on the school.

When one reflects upon his high school days, he will remember, without a doubt, the Grubber. There was the Grubber who was a connoisseur. You know what I’m talking about. The one with the distinctive palate who always wanted a bite or two of your sandwich and anything else you had to offer. There was the enterprising Grubber, who schemed by “borrowing” twenty-five cents from you for a phone call. By the end of the day, he had collected a sizeable amount of coins from more than generous friends. And for you girls, there was the “fashionable ' Grubber, who “borrowed” clothing from you and never returned it. By the end of the year, she had aquired a much varied ward- robe. Oh. I almost forgot, The “intellectual” Grubber. Most are guilty of this, but we won't mention names. This is the Grubber who borrowed last nights homework. There’s a Grubber in every social group, the kid who’s always by your car after school, making little comments about how much he hates walking home. The Grubber, a person who has all his needs, but depends on extort- ing from others the items I mentioned here. DON'T LET THE GRUBBER PENETRATE YOUR SOCIETY! FIGHT BACK!

A cloud of smoke immediately engulfs you. leaving you in spasms of uncontrollable choking as you gasp desperately for a breath of fresh air. No it's not a gas chamber (although it’s close) it's the girls bathroom. Where else can you go as a normal human being and return a human ashtray? Walking in you are greeted by our friendly welcoming cloud along with dirty looks as six girls retrieve their cigarettes from the floor. You push through the smoke in a desperate search for the facilities . . . AHHH relief? You emerge from the stalls and, in spite of the fact you really don't like cigarette’s, it’s hard not to marvel at the smokers system of avoiding get- ting busted. The doors open. With lightning quick reflexes, the cigarettes are thrown to the floor, as they innocently take on the guise of merely fixing their makeup. Once they’ve seen it’s just another student, the ciga- rettes are picked up, dusted off. and are returned to their mouths. Eyes are tearing from the smoke, you walk over to the mirror and try desperately to fix the mascara smeared on your cheek, all the while being watched by the bathrooms permanent residents, (class cutters). Satisfied that at least most of your makeup has been washed off, you prepare to leave the bath- room, bidding fond farewell to the blanket of smoke you are finally leaving, knowing how your next “trip” will be ... if you dare to return.

You walk outisde try- ing to ditch your friends before they see Mom pull up in the family wreck. It's too late, she’s already there flagging you down. “Brenda, dear! You can't believe that it’s happening to ou again - another one of those embarrassing pick-ups. We’ve all had something like this hap- pen to us at one time or another because we had to depend on our parents for transportation. It’s not easy when you don’t have a license, or a car for that matter. Imagine going on a date or to a party with Mom or Dad kissing you goodbye in front of everyone. What about those carpools where you have to call everyone in the entire phonebook before you can find someone who is willing to drive? Of course, many of you don’t have this problem, but some of us can relate to it. Here’s what some of the students in our school say about the parent-transportation dilema: 1. I hate having to depend on my parents for a ride because they aren’t always available when I need them.” 2. “Having to depend on my parents is usually really embarrassing and it’s a pain. I'd rather just ride my bike. 3. Carpools usually end up in disaster because nobody’s parent wants to do the driving. If there are 3 or 4 people, the parents always argue over which parent is going to drive.” This parent-transportation situation is almost always a hassle and embarrassment, that goes with the deal. But do people really judge you by who is sitting behind the wheel? Probably not. Even if you are judged in the wrong way, keep your head high and stop worrying. After all, there’s no way out of the situation and at least you’re not walking! By: Caroline DeWitt 172 Evolution Sophomores 17 3 A Year To Remember We are the Juniors of 1987-88 (and there are 166 boys and 1 2 girls in our class). This is our most important year in high school. We have new responsibilities and hard deci- sions to make about colleges, occupations and ideas about our future. Many of us will go to college so we have pres- sures in the form of the PSATand SAT. We all try to rasie our grades and take courses to see where our interests lie. Many of us don't know what we want to he so it's hard to find where to start. Besides pressure from school, there is the first part-time job that most of us get this year. Though we don't always like it we need the extra money. Of course, there is excitement about li- censes-counting the days until we get them. We have a lot of responsibility in the cost and care of our cars. There are also many good times such as our first prom, school rings, and more parties. We look hack on our Junior year, a year to remem- ber.

This is an obstacle of driving. Whether or not you can handle being a driver,” or if you spend your whole life taking the driving test. When you first start out driving, you feel ex- tremely nervous as though you are doing some- thing out of this world. You may miss a stop sign or even go through a red light. You find you're not the passenger, you’re driving the passenger. “When on the passenger side, your mind is wan- dering off to what’s on the radio and not what is happening on the road, but on the driver’s side you have to be aware of what is going on in all directions,” said junior Jennifer Gibel. Then after awhile you have come to the point where the test is right around the corner. Driving at the test area the day of the test, makes you feel terribly nervous, you’re con- vinced you’re going to fail. You take the test and pass ... a sigh of relief. After passing the test the first thing you want to do is drive home. When driving after having received your li- cense a sense of freedom overcomes you, you now can drive. You can go anywhere you want without a parent taking you there! By: Bradley Singer Talia Weiner takes a chance as she steps into one of Gene's driving school's white camaros.

Scholastic Aptitude Test. In order to get into the college of your choice, you must sit for 3 hours straight and answer questions that seem almost impossi- ble. After you do the verbal (grammar) sec- tion you go on to the mathematics. To prepare for the SAT. a student can do many things. There is a SAT course at night that costs $500 or there is a computer disk which is helpful. Most students take the PSAT. Preliminary Scholastic Aptitude Test, in their Junior year. When you take this test, you know what to expect on the SAT Also, there are many books to buy that explain the directions and reasoning on the SAT. The highest score is a 1 600, but only abso- lute genius’ are able to get this. Many people try to get over a 1 000 or to do better than the first time they took it. So look at the SAT this way: Once you take it, you go on to college and take a lot of 3 hour tests.

Bv: Cindy Smith A Class With Class When we came into MRHS just three short years ago as sophomores, we thought that it was going to he three long years that would seem like an eternity. When we look back at our thoughts during that time, we remember that we all wished we were seniors. Well, the time has now come that our wish has be- come a reality. The Senior Class, under the advisorship of Mrs. Betty Rebarick, Mr. David Beadle, and Ms. Margo Crupi, have shown that they are a very unique class. The Senior Class has grown to a si .e of 311 students over the past three years and has three more hoys than girls in the class; 157 hoys and 154 girls. The Senior Class has contributed many things to our school over the past three years, including our successful fundraisers and dances (such as our M M sales). The class, in the past year with the help of its offi- cers, have also brought new traditions that will be treasured by the underclassmen in the years to come. These include being the first senior class to have their own bathrooms. With these qualities, the Senior Class of 1988 has proven that they will he a lasting memory that will live on in the years to come.

The process works with a student selling various items, from chocolate candy to calendars. This student will receive a commission from the mon- ey he she raises, and this commission will go towards their class trip or some other school related activity. While some of us have had the luck” to be the salesperson (who is doing the actual fund raising), others of us have only had the chance to be the buyer. It is likely that in time just about everyone will have the chance to play one of these roles. But, either way, fund raising is a great way to raise money for an assortment of benefits that we might not have been able to pay for otherwise.

Fiona Folk Kelly Ford Battle Of The Bands On January 14, 1988, Matawan Regional H.S. played host to six of the hottest hands in the area. From 7:30 to 11:00 P.M.. M.R.H.S.’s audi- torium was rocking to the heat of Matawan s first Battle of the Bands. Sponsored by D.E.C.A., the battle was a huge success. The students responded to the music with a wild abandon that shook the school to its foundations. The six bands participating were: Eternal Aggression, Koven, Vintage, Lost Cause, Seven Day Trip, and Pitchblack. The range of music played w as fairly wide but all the groups were terrific! The sheer enthusiasm of the audience was ir- repressible; students were stage diving and moshing like crazy! commented one spectator enthusiastically. The majority of the music was metal, and sure enough, the ever-famous Matawan Mosh Patrol was in the center of the fray, moshing hard (naturally!!). Particularly noticeable were senior Kevin Cambridge and sophomore Jim Anfuso. The winner was Matawan's own Seven Day Trip. Band members include: William DeVizia (lead vocals, sax), David Heuser (keyboard, backing vocals). Frank Harkins (percussion), Howard Rose (bass), and Lucian Chiello (guitar, backing vocals). The bands were really good! said sopho- more Jennifer DeFina. “and the crowds were WILD!! Jean Tsao, junior, summed the night up into one word: CHAOTIC!

Since honesty is one of our most prized morals at Mataw an Reg., Mrs. Rebarick took their word for it. Somewhere in the Book of Rules it says that the shed is property belonging to the school, and such an act of vandalism is punishable! Thank goodness none of our seniors did it! You can’t help but notice that this is the best the shed has looker! in years. I'm sure that the anonymous parties spent several hours to create the words “The Great 1988”.

College Applications Senior year is a great year of changes for most students. It is during this time that students will make the very difficult choice of what future path to take, Many students will choose college and for these students the choice will not he an easy one. The first thing that students will notice is the sudden change in their mailbox. Suddenly, schools from all over the country will begin writ- ing to them. Another way to learn about universi- ties is to attend college fairs. (College represen- tatives set up booths in the lower gym for a few hours for students to visit). Guidance offers a computer college search so they can type out a list of many aspects of schools stores in the com- puter. Filling out applications can be a nerveracking task. Some applications ask for more than just class rank and activities — they may want the dreaded ESSAY’. Oh no! Never fear — guidance is always there to help you. ‘T thought it was reallv hard turning in applica- tions because of the deadlines. Guidance has helped me in looking over my applications and correcting whatever seemed wrong or was left out,” says senior. Sue Daniels.

They are just a few of the things you might do while choosing a senior quote. Compared to all the things you have to do now that you're a senior choosing a quote seems trivial, until you sit and try to write it. A million ideas flow through your brain. (Questions pop up, like; should I make it funny, serious, or coded so that only my friends know what I mean?) It is one of the more difficult tasks you receive as a senior.

Honnld Pietkcwicz Tough times demand tough hearts. Michael Plant Andrew Phillips Nancy Pileggi It 's Monday morning and you just got out of the shower. You get dressed and then it 's time for you to do your hair. Nothing seems to be working right. The typical problems of doing your hair is that it 's too curly, straight, floppy, frizzed, or that one piece just won’t go in the right place. A typi- cal teenager then reaches for hairspray. With hairspray, any type of style can be achieved from simple to extravagant. Hairspray can cost anywhere from $.99 to $5.00. There are many different types of hairs- pray such as Clairol, Deep Freeze, Vidal Sasson, Aqua Net, Mink, Stiff Stuff, TKESenune, Aussie Scrunch Spray, and salon spray such as Nexus. For many of us who want to save money, we can’t leave out the “Today’s Special.” Many teenagers spend up to $15.00 a month on hairspray alone. The typical answer for any teenager today is that hairspray is a necessity for everyone. We never touch the stuff, Jessie, Nat alie, and Beth. Hairspray Hairspray 203 Glasses or Contacts? Glasses were the first form of eyewear available to people with bad vision. Despite the fact that they must be worn to correct bad vision, glasses can provide a look of dignity and beauty to any face. There is not a limited selection for the dif- ferent types of glasses. Many famous designers are getting into the act of making glasses. Contact lenses are a convenient break from wearing eyeglasses. There are also many advan- tages to contact lenses: they do not slide down your nose, they don’t fog up in the cold, and no one can call you four-eyes. Today, whether you have normal vision or bad vision “Your eyes can be a different color. Colored contacts became a fad that quickly spread throughout the country. Whether you choose to wear glasses or con- tacts it will prove to be a costly decision. Contact lenses are priced over $100.00. You must also add the cost of materials needed to care for them. Glasses usually range from $50.00 to $120.00. So, What’s Your Answer, Glasses or Con- tacts???

The four team members were chosen by teacher recommenda- tion and a test of trivial and factual knowledge. Captain — Bill Scanlon, Michael Koelle. Lyle Himmel, and Matt Moshen competed at the video taping at the Rutgers TV studio. Marietta Sirleaf (in the audience) de- scribed the episode as nerveracking”. Its a very intense game,” she notes. Matawan‘s team won their first match. They had a choice: come back and try for the car or go home with a Rutgers Bowl board game, (that’s a joke.) They won their first game and lost their second.

And to the tiypsies that re- main. “Still Rock-A-little. ” Do you choose to believe? Do you go to a church or a temple? Why? If you ask that question you will probably get many different answers. Some go out of habit because they have been going for most of their childhood. Others go to their church or temple because of pressure from parents. “My parents would kill me if I didn't go!”. Many people go because of a true belief in their religion. What is religion? Is it just the building, or the history behind it? Your pastor or rabbi will prob- ably tell you that the building and the history are symbols to the religion. Your religion is based on the congregation. The people build the religion. Going to your church or temple represents your belief in religion, its ideas about a god, heaven, and death. Belief in these ideas depends on your faith and ability to accept them without proof. In your religion they may only believe in one god. The God. But each religion has a different idea about what a “God” should be. So, what's the answer? The right religion? There is no correct or right belief. It all de- pends on what you have been taught and what you believe in your heart. And only your heart can give you the answer.

Meagan, Dorothee, Carrie. Robin, Sheryl, Sharon Friends Forever COLO� -UJAKt ■ Lenny, We as your parents want to say we are very proud of you. You played exceptional football with that Lenox Hill brace on your right knee every week. Not many people knew you wore it, because of the determination and drive you had to play as a senior fullback. You had Cod's help. We watched you as you prayed and read your Bible on a daily basis. Most of all you stayed on top of your school work. Lenny, we love you. Always keep your head up and know you are someone special. Our prayers will always be with you. Good Luck in college. With Love, Your Parents The pictures represent pre-school which would state then and the football pictures which state, now as a senior. ANDREW MACKOFF For the last three years you have given me the opportunity to play a variety of roles in your life; teacher, coach”, supervisor, and friend. As the MRHS representative “coach” for you at the Shore Conference and State diving competitions, I have watched you win first place in the Shore Confer- ence and third place in the State. I've agonized with you when you felt you could have done better and celebrated with you when you have won the gold. You have left your mark in the memories of the students and staff of MRHS. They are, and I am, extremely proud of the recognition you have brought to your school by your diving achieve- ments over the past three years. You are one of Matawan's finest. Best of luck at the University of Arizona. Your Friend, Fran “coach” Adler To Jennifer - Love, Your Father ABSOLUT '—OVER THE TOP4!' Aunt Glynis: the best aunt (n the world — we love you!
