Klackers, Yo-Yos, Water-Guns Are Fads Of The Year This year, two new items were added to the list of O.T.H.S.'s playthings. Klackers, colorful plastic balls attached to each end of a cord, was one toy added to the list. The obiect of this game was to move the cord in a vertical movement, making the. balls meet and hit in semi-circles. By the time this new craze was fading out of view, Ocean students had mastered many techniques and tricks. The second fad of the year was yo-yos. Dura- ble plastic yo-yos of every size and color were in use in every hallway. They flew through the air dur- ing every period, making a long day more tolerable for many students. Ocean's traditional water-gun fights, one of the first signs of spring, started with a bang this year. Guns aimed at strategic places cooled off the stu- dents in warm weather. Although this type of vio- lence on campus usually brought little or no casualties, several students suffered from water on the knee, arm, face, etc. The water war waged on until the very last days of the school year. Smuggled pistols were always confiscated by teachers, but all charges were dropped. And even the little squirts got revenge! Dr. Discusses Contraception Feb. I6 - Dr. Domenick J. Acerra, a local obstetri- cian-gynecologist, spoke today with some biology and anatomy classes about the physical aspects of sex. He first discussed the menstrual cycle in detail and then went on to explain the rhythm method as a natural contraceptive. He related the percent- age of failure of the various contraceptives to the wide-awake students. Dr. Acerra concluded his lecture with the fact that Mechanical contraceptive devices are much safer than the natural contraceptive techniques. Ques- tions were entertained after his talk. Ocean Outpoints Neptune Feb. 22 - The Ocean Township Girls' Varsity Bas- ketball Team played Neptune today. The five start- ers for Ocean were Sue Stockfisch, Maddy Mar- shall, Bobbi Baselici, Kathy Hellwege and Helene DeLisa. The game started with a iump balll At the half, Ocean was winning T8-l4.
