Students Salute Veterans November 1 1, 1970 -- In honor of Veteran's Day, Ocean Township High School, in cooperation with Fort Monmouth, presented a special assembly for the Freshman and Sophomore classes. During the assembly, First Lieutenant Michael Yocum and Lance Corporal Barry Duncan spoke about the im- portance of service in the armed forces. Lieutenant Yocum stressed that . . . lt is the American veteran who most sincerely supports that quest lfor peacel because he has left his family and endured the hun- ger and danger of the battlefield. The High School band played two selections dur- ing the assembly. The first, The Star-Spangled Banner was played while the colors were pre- sented by an Army honor guard. This ls My Coun- try was performed prior to the introduction of Lance Corporal Duncan. Scholars Are Recognized Nov. 12, 1970 - ln the annual evening program, l89 Spartan Scholars were honored on a dreary Thursday night. This program, sponsored by the Guidance Department, was the only solely academ- ic award presented by the school. All recipients had demonstrated exceptional scholastic ability during the previous school year. The guest speaker was the Honorable Judge Pat- rick McGann of the Monmouth County Court. Dur- ing his speech, Judge McGann explained that those honored, who were the top five percent academi- cally, represented the leaders of tomorrow and were responsible for the world's future. The requirement for becoming a Spartan Scholar was 3.75 average for the previous scholastic year. fAwards for seniors were given at graduationj. The average was determined by a weighted four-track grade system which awarded honor points accord- ing to the level of difficulty of each track at a partic- ular grade level. First award winners were given a varsity letter. Subsequent awards were: a bronze medallion fsec- ond awardj, a silver medallion fthird awardl, and a gold medallion ffourth awardj. lt was estimated that less than five percent of any graduating class qualifies as Spartan Scholars in the senior year, though the Class of '71 will be an exception, be- cause 20'Zn of the class made Spartan Scholars.
