Thanksgiving Sees Walt Disney Honored Nov. 26, 1970 -S . . . And the new Homecoming Queen is Linda Leitstein. These were the words over the microphone to which 3,600 spectators gave applause. This and other activities highlighted the Home- coming-Thanksgiving halftime show. The Ocean Township High School Marching Band paraded on field and began playing nostalgic Walt Disney songs. To add a little spice to the field, girls in paiamas began skipping in and around the band. With the band music playing, Grace Agresti began describing the floats which came into view for the spectators. A statue of Walt Disney, sur- rounded by Snow White and the Seven Dwarves was the Senior float, written under the statue of Dis- ney were the words, He made the whole world smile. Jiminy Cricket, waving to the delighted chil- dren, and The Book of Knowledge, carrying the words, Never Tell a Lie, was the Junior'float. The Sophomore float displaying a giant Mickey Mouse clock, Donald Duck, and a sign expressing the theme, A Time to Remember. A model of the world and students representing children from other lands declared the theme of the Freshman float, lt's o Small World. Following the showing of the floats, the winner of the canned food drive sponsored by the Keyettes and Leaders' Corps was announced, it was the Freshman Class. The candidates for Homecoming Queen were then introduced. They were: Jeanette Samaha, Den- ise Reily, Linda Leitstein, Robin Rose, and Cindy Scharer. The winner of the float contest was announced, the Sophomore Class, with Mickey Mouse and Don- ald Duck, was the winner. Great cheers arose from the Sophomores on the bleachers and the field. Finally it was time for the crowning of the new queen. The winner was Linda Leitstein, co-captain of the cheerleaders. Applause filled the stands as Patsy McMahon, last year's queen crowned Linda. The Homecoming-Thanksgiving Day game be- tween Ocean Township's Class B Champs and Wall High School, Class D Champs, commenced with the giving of corsages to the parents of the Senior players. The game showed Ocean playing a very tough defense, which set up three scores and effectively held Wall's offense. The Spartans scored in the first period when Bill Fink, in three plays brought the ball to the one yard line. Jerry McAuliffe carried it over on a sneak. During the second period, Wall had its best of- fensive effort, but with no success.

After P.A.P. was formed in September of l970, meetings were held three times a month. Each time a meeting was held more people attended. Several clean-up proiects in Ocean Township were held. The first, in coniunction with Citizens Against Water Pollution, the sanitation department, the Boy Scouts, and others, helped removegarbage from a section of Deal Lake. Another clean-up, or- ganized by P.A.P., took place on Route 43135 across from Grand Union Supermarket. A truck from the sanitation department was available to cart away several loads of refuse. At one meeting in November, committees were formed to help combat specific problems in our area. One committee put boxes in the high school classrooms to collect old papers. These papers were later reprocessed for another use. P.A.P. successfully helped curb the apathy of township residents and made them realize that they, too, were responsible for keeping Ocean Township clean.
