242 Volleyball And Bowling: A Study ln Togethernef lt's Your Serve Girls and boys alike enioyed the experience of playing volleyball together in the Senior Physical Education classes. Approximately five girls and boys were on each team. The squads played each other for the class championship. The girls were a little wary at first of hitting the ball, speedily moving out of the way of the oncom- ing proiectile. But after a few weeks, to the boys' pleasure, the female teammates became quite adept at the game. lt's Only A Spare To bring excitement to the hallowed halls of Ocean Township High School, Mrs. Mary Jo Blair and Mr. Gordon Long instituted a bowling program for iunior gym classes. To add to the fun, classes and teams were co-ed. Students were instructed in the fundamentals of bowling. These included many types of approach and the different follow-throughs. The follow- through depended on the type ball which was thrown - straight, curve or hook. Students were also instructed in how to complete different spares and how to make a strike. Teams were then set up, and nine lanes of pins were put up for the actual bowling. Each person was to bowl at least two games. Then the teachers, using handicaps, would set up tournaments. The purpose of teaching a bowling unit was two- fold. The primary purpose was to make students aware that bowling was an enioyable form of recre- ation and that facilities for enioying it were availa- ble for their convenience. The secondary purpose was to enioy bowling as a sport. FAR UPPER RIGHT: Junior Steve Johnson exibits the four step approach, which, if done correctly should give him a strike.

One of the future produc- tions will be an original: the first children's love-rock musical - Cinderella. The script was revised by Jennifer Berman. Instead of a Prince Charming for Cinderella to fall in love with, there will be a Prince and Paupers band. Di Snyder was selected to play Cinderella. And rather than the ordinary fairy god- mother, there will be a fairy godagent, fto be played by Victor Garberl. The usual, mean step- mother will not be absent, but instead of having only two ugly daughters, she will have three, Esmer- elda fBeverly Jonesl, lsadora lStephanie Spectorl, and Gertrude fCarin Falcol. ln total, the show is ex- pected to be a unique and delightful experience for people of all ages.
