Thespians Stage Comedy Nov. 4, 5, 1970 - As the 1970-71 school year began, the Ocean Township High School Drama Club started working on its first production of the year, As You Like lt, a comedy by William Shakes- peare. The play, a humorous look at love at first sight, was directed by Donold S. Molner and was performed at 8:00 P.M. in the high school auditori- um. For weeks before the play the cast worked tire- lessly, rehearsing every afternoon and many eve- nings to produce a good show. The play was not done in the traditional method, and costumes, light- ing, music, and props were used effectively to in- crease the universality of Shakespeare's work. Spartans Win Crucial Contest Nov. 7, 1970- Ocean Township played an impor- tant game with Toms River South for a share of the Class B title. After falling behind by a score of i0-0 in the first quarter, the Spartans came back to defeat Toms River South I8-10. Everyone played well, but Bob Vincent and Jerry McAuliffe, who scored two touchdowns, played great clutch foot- ball. Kevin Daniels scored the other Spartan touch- down from eight yards out. Other big plays were by Rick Broza, who blocked a punt, and Steve Setrin, who made an interception. Scott Moore and Bill Fink kept grinding out tough yardage, while the Spartan line opened holes for them. Ocean's de- fense played well as they shut out the Indians for three periods. 2 rl'

Fire Consumes Body Oct. 30, 1970 - The Red and Blue Booster Associ- ation, on Friday evening, sponsored an Ocean Township High School Bonfire. A Long Branch foot- ball player was burnt in effigy and a 99-I score was cheered for. Freshman, Junior Varsity, and Varsity Cheerlead- ers with their teams helped lead victory cheers. The High School Band played victory songs to add to the enthusiasm of the fans. The Cheerleaders made a ring around the fifteen foot high bonfire. The Oakhurst Fire Company was there to contain the fire and sparks flying from the dead leaves, branches, and Long Branch Jerseys. The entire happening lasted about 35 minutes. Approximately 150-200 Ocean Football enthusiasts were there to cheer our Spartans on to victory. Spartans Break Long Branch Oct. 31, 1970 - Ocean's Spartans fought a foot- ball battle with Long Branch's Green Wave. The Spartans showed a selfish defense and a pounding, driving offense. Ocean consistently held Long Branch in poor field position and took advantage of four Long Branch fumbles. Ed Kasky, Bill Fink, and Dave Neilson had recoveries while Rick Jones had a key interception. In the first period Ocean was held by Long Branch, but in the second period the Spartans moved on with the inside running of full- back Scott Moore and tailback Bill Fink. After a drive, Bill Fink iumped over from the one and Joe Avallone kicked the conversion. Late in the second period, Kevin Daniels slipped past two defenders andscored on a pass from Bob Friedman, Avallone converted again. In the fourth quarter after Rick Jones intercepted a Wave pass, Ocean scored again as Bob Friedman came over from the one. The score was 21-0. The Ocean line of Ed Kasky, Mike Pyrdsa,-Bill Bates, Aris Despo, and Jeff Conov- er played great football against 'much bigger foes.
