Seniors Soar And Faculty Faults Jan. 28, 1971 - lt was a cold, windy night, and the stars shone brightly. A capacity crowd noisily filled the Ocean Township High School arena in ex- pectation of the Senior-Faculty classic. The specta- tors impatiently viewed the warmups as the Senior and Faculty cheerleaders paraded around the gym- nasium. Suddenly the buzzer sounded and each team reported to their respective bench. All the ex- citement and anxiety of the crowd was displayed as the cacophony of catcalls towards the teachers rose to new heights. Kevin Hartnett was hardly able to announce the lineups as everyone ieered at their fa- mous comic strip heroes taking the floor. The Seniors were introduced first. The upperclass- men included Lusty Lewis, Bomber Bird Falco, Crafty Craig Frankel, Mac the Magician, Junky Jerome, O. D. Avallone, lrv Van Arsdale, Kevin Austin Carr, Skinpoppin Wopperoo, Artis Gilmore, Needless Neilson, Roach Jones, Itsy Bitsy Grant, and the viva- cious Duck Pullen. This year's faculty team was the strongest squad ever assembled under one roof. lrate Linden citizens fthey have all the lucky reported hearing the cheers of the crowd during the faculty introductions and quickly evacuated the city. Each faculty member was received with laughs and insults. Broadway Jack Tighe managed a small snicker as his name was announced. The team was composed of Bully Busch, Tiger fl ain't great muchj Truex, Man Moun- tain Matoska, Jumpin Joe Judikic, Wild Wally Wal- ton, Dude Dahrouge, Rocky Rockel, Devine Deva- ney, Looney Tunes Truntz, Leapin' Law, Flash Gor- den and some obscure player named Magnotta. The crowd was especially grieved by the absence of Hondo Lefsky from the squad. Rocky Rockel left the fans aghast as he modelled the latest in Faculty game socks. The famous faculty cheerleaders received abun- dant laughter as they courageously attempted to perform cheers even difficult for healthy 21 year old women. The game itself was overshadowed by the numer- ous pre-game antics. Both teams substituted freely as lrv van Arsdale shot the Seniors out to a lead, which was never relinquished. Tempers flared, iudg- ing by Junky Jerome's inflamed elbows and Tiger Truex's three inch battle scar. Each team shot an in- credible 22W: from the floor as the Faultless Faculty matched the Sensational Seniors miss for miss. fcontinued on next page - see Seniors and Faculty, BOTTOM LEFT: Changing from the mild-mannerism of the school day, a more sophisticated cheering squad does their thing to cheer their fellow teachers on to victory.
