' --1 fee.--..,,.z g f. 1 . - F we - ,,.. ef, 1 9' o s It I N Weight Lifting: A Heavy Sport Jan. 26, 1971 - This year a new activity was insti- tuted in the intramural program, in the form of weightlifting, with Dr. Vodola, who was in charge. All boys were eligible. On Monday, Wednesday, and Fridays after school from 3 to 4 o'clock in room D-l07, the boys could be seen practicing their vari- ous exercises. Many of the students who ioined were there to build up their strength for various other sports, especially football. If a student wanted to build up a certain part of his body he did a specific exercise primarily for that area. The boys worked on their individual programs until they had worked up to the level they desired. The many phases of the program were: for the arms, curb-stand up straight and lift weights, push- ups, and pull-ups, for the legs, applying weights on the shoulder while doing squats, running up and down the stairs, and bicycle riding. Boys also did sit- ups, back extenders, and sit-ups while putting weights behind the head for abdominal strength. The boys were confident that their body-building would be successful, but the waiting was easier than the weighing!

Ocean Spartans Dry Long Branch Wave Jan. 26, 1971 - The Ocean Township Cagers defeated the Long Branch Green lWave for their eleventh win. Ocean won convincingly, 87-57, and raised their season record to ll victories and two defeats. The Spartans expected a tough battle with the Wave due to the close contest earlier in the year, won by Ocean in overtime. Surprisingly, the game was completely one-sided as Ocean led by as much as 35 points. Charlie Brown shot remarkably well in the first quarter to lead the Spartans to a I5 point advan- tage. Brown scored 15 points in the opening period. Ocean outscored the Wave 20-4 in the second quarter to take a 45-I4 lead into the Iockerroom. Mark Hlatky caught fire in the second half and capitalized on skillful passing from Charlie Brown. Hlatky finished with I9 points and Brown sunk 27 points. Ron Bonoforte, Hlatky, and George Anders led Ocean, to a 44-28 rebound advantage. This game was one of Ocean's most impressive wins and earned them a spot in the State Tourna- ment. 2

See C-2l9 - Two Stimulating Ideas Jan. 2Z 1971 - A model of the globe theater, constructed by sophomore Beth Elker, was used by Mrs. Erlich and her freshman classes in their study of Shakespearian plays. Beth made the replica in her freshman year. It contains theatrical accessories of the Shakespeorian era including trap doors, vari- ous balconies with curtains and seating sections. The mini-theater has been on display in room C- 219. Another interesting display in room C-219 was the original bulletin board created by a group of Mrs. Erlich's freshmen. They made an abstract idea, Fear, concrete by using phrases similiar to the Happiness ls series of Schultz's Peanut Books.
