Cafeteria Mascot Returns Jan. 19, 1971 - Students marched into the school cafeteria tothe tune of a familiar old luke box. Yes, the mascot of Ocean High's Lunch Room was with us once again. ln the '69-'70 school year, the Senior Class sup- plied the music machine for the enjoyment of all. However, the noise-maker took such a beating that it had to be removed to recuperate. Upon its return engagement, the iuke box roared during lunch hours, before school, and sometimes in study hall. Students had different opinions on the return of the iuke box. Some felt that it was disturbing their lunch period, the precious time that is needed for friendly conversation. Others were happy to hear the familiar songs once more, and planned to con- tribute some of their own favorites to the machine. Now that the foundations of the high school were shaking again, the student body thanked the senior class for bringing everything back to normal. ,Sw I .-X ewwwan- sg-we-v ns ' .eww

Ecologists Do Good Deeds Jan. 22, 1971 - Conservation of the environment has become the most crucial and pragmatic issue of the new decade. Pollution unchecked will yield world destruction. Conscious of the enormity of the problem, Ocean Township High SchooI's Ecology Club attempted to make the urgency of the situation apparent to the students and faculty. Besides disseminating that information, the Ecolo- gy Club was involved in two maior proiects. The members of the club put together a map identifying the flora growing in the immediate vicinity of the school. Also, while working in the greenhouse, they grew pines and Bonsae plants and raised such tropi- cal fish as Angelfish, Swordtails and Platties.
