The artist who represents himself. He is not afraid to express his individualism Not afraid to stray from the conventional, widely accepted views of the society from which he comes. We feel inde- pendent, but not isolated. We have the support of our friends, and more important, ourselves. We feel secure in our actions.

RIGHT: With rising costs of metal, the value of a genuine tin man will make a good dent in college tui- , ' v tion in the 80's. 4 mm. Gardner Attlee The Administration sees the young people of the 80's becoming more involved in the government and the functioning of society. The young adults of this new decade will be quite visible. Not only will they be active in the political sense of government but in a con- cerned sense. Those young people will be concerned with the conditions of the ecology, the waters, and the air. These people are go- ing to make the difference by getting involved in local, state and federal actions. They have learned that protest will make a difference, and it done correctly, will work effectively. The administration is optimistic with the dawn of the new decade. it has faith and hope in the new generation of leaders. It sees a more serious. hard working, purposeful. and united generation. One of thoughtful conservatism. and compromise. The administration is still, as always, vitally interested in the students. They e L look at the finished product and are proud, , w? ' ' k' Gt 1 and will continue to be proud.

The department is headed by Dr. Helen McDonnell, who is well known in her field. The department itself has a wide variety of educational possibilities. One aspect is creative writing, taught by Mr. Lord. He feels that this is a good way for students to express themselves. The drama director, Mr. Ryner, gives the students a chance to learn how to give and take direction, and then, offers a Repertory Theater class in which they practice both. Students in- , . , . terested in journalism are given the chance i i i i L ' to interview, to review, and to editorialize Dr' Helen MCDonne Fred Elker school concerns. These are published in the Ocean View, under the guidance of Mr. Elker. The department has previously offered mini courses where the student can choose the area of literature in which he has an in- terest. A program, awaiting approval, will offer mini-courses every three years. By this program, the student will have the chance to specialize his learning while he concentrates also on more basic material. In accordance with Dr. McDonneIl's theory Strive for perfection, the depart- ment is constantly considering means of ,improving itself. BELOW: Three branches constantly checking and balancing each other. RIGHT: There is no supreme power. ' Roert Gartner 40 George Ripley Rita Friedman x Robert Olshan Susan Sapnar Joseph Smith Maureen Sofield Communication: The Key To Diplomacy The future of our students will be greatly influenced by foreign language knowledge. The student who knows one or more foreign languages is better prepared for his future socially and culturally as well as financially. Language opportunities in business, government, and other services are immense, and the Ocean Township High School is preparing students to take advantage of these opportunities. In the approaching decade our nations well being will more and more depend upon our ability to communicate effectively with the rest of the world. In order to relate diplomatically and economically, it will be necessary for our people to have the skills needed to deal with others in their native languages. The future of our country will lie in our ability to interact competently with nations worldwide, and the study of foreign languages is a valuable step in this direc- tion. RIGHT: We must learn to speak their language. FAR RIGHT: To achieve total cultural indepen- dence, we must know what the world is saying. Av X f Elsa Lake Donald Hill Elizabeth Weiss Our Government Will Continue To Grow The mathematics department of Ocean Township High School is continually con- centrating on and progressing with the times. We see before us an age where in- creasingly sophisticated computer hardware is becoming more and more commonplace, making the availability of educated, capable mathematicians an ob- vious necessity. The latest field on our ' country's horizon is that of personal com- Leona Burke John Best puters, and our math department is striving to encourage the excellence in mathematics necessary to enable our stu- dents to share in the wide range of possibilities open to them in this area. Our school looks forward to joining the ranks of the many who benefit from com- puter use. One of the hopes for the future is a computer resource laboratory which would be at the service of students and faculty alike. By exposing math students and others to hands on computer work, as well as stressing fundamental mathematics, our math department will be preparing students to be a productive part of tomorrow's rapidly growing world. FAR RIGHT: Computers will run the society of the future. RIGHT: New knowledge insures our govern- ment's ability to thrive and grow in stature. ii i r u Vincent Meola :9 1 44 V. .

In the 80's we will see a more futuristic science department. Various changes in the curriculum will occur such as the possibility of dropping Organic Chemistry and Qualitive Analysis. The Science Department says good-bye to Mr. Post this year. After 13 years of ser- vice to the Ocean Township Science Department, he leaves with many fond memories among his students. We all wish him the best of luck and we'll miss his ser- Vice. HiGHT: We must develop new sources of energy.

Most members of the department agree that we should take a more humanistic approach to the future based upon the events of the past. This could, in fact, subsequently lead to a more har- monious merging of the technological and educational worlds, and perhaps someday you shall be viewing history lessons on a type of computerized cable television. As for a cause and effective point of view, the history department feels that we should be on our guard, learning from our previous history and previous mistakes. In the com- ing years Ocean Twp. should be prepared to meet a more futuristic history depart- ment. FAFl LEFT: With the rise of our technological ad- vance will come the rise in social, psychological, and philosophical awareness. At stake is the sur- vival of our race and world. BELOW LEFT: The Social Studies Department will more and more meet the needs of students who are neither college bound nor academically oriented. Arthur Wankmuller Emphasis On Physical As Well As Political Strength The Physical Education Department forsees a y a complete change in society's philosophy for Barbara BandStra the 80's. One member of the staff interviewed suggested that it will be a decade of increasing unity, and sees government as taking on new leadership roles and beginning more projects to help the common man. The staff member i also commented that this might lead to greater caring and lpnderstanding between people. The 80's will also see a return to the family unit, although women will be a larger force in the job market and play more important roles in government leadership. There will also be a greater interest in conserving our natural resources as we progress. The faculty mem- ber optomistically concluded that the 1980's will be an exciting decade, and hopefully one of unity and caring. RIGHT: The only direction you can move in physical education is up. ?'er Carmine Magnotta Michael Rodgers David Ruch Wayne Walton Charles Roberts , X : A Annette Caccamise Frank Murphy i Arline Broza Virginia East PatriciaThorne Endless Opportunities In Business The most important advances we can look to in the 80's are the many breakthroughs in computers. It is expected that in the next decade more advances will be made in com- puters than have ever been made before. Because of the advances in computer technology society of the 80's will be more automated and faster paced. There will be more job opportunities than ever before for highly skilled workers. Business training will be essential for many jobs. Skilled typists, stenographers, and bookkeepers will be greatly in demand. BELOW: Increasing speeds, another aspect of our automated society. 51 We Will Have More Consideration For Our Fellow Human Beings RIGHT: In our growing society we must not forget creativity. h 7 Louise Dennis Annette Pierce Joseph Judikic Theodore Smith We Are Leaning Towards A More Structured Society LEFT: Technological expansion will uncover areas never seen before.

In 20 years I will be married to a multi- millionaire, and living in Europe. I will also have a career as a fashion designer. -Pooh In 20 years I will be involved with my own business and will be married to the most important person in my life, whether he may be rich or poor. -I.M.B.

Also, I feel world tensions will grow over the shortage of energy. I think the United States will become energy self-sufficient and use food as an international weapon, in the same way O.P.E.C. now uses oil. This could trigger another cold war era in the 80's. Overall, I see the 80's as a pivital time in the world, a decade for which we should brace ourselves. -Dave McCarthy FAR LEFT: Mike Carl LEFT: Joann Huntowski BELOW: Pam Petko. Sue Nelson, Pam Miller, Maggy O'Donnell Finding a Place In a Shaky Future With our age of automation, we have lost touch with creativity. The eighties will see total artistic neglect. We will lose touch with the humanities, the arts, and the classics. The words science, mathematics, and technology will be embedded in the minds of our youth. By 1990 the high school seniors at Ocean Township High School will have next to no conception of an art form existing for the sake of sheer pleasure. Everything will lie carefully calculated with no room for individualism. Because of this, creativity may vanish from the face of the earth. What a shame . . . BELOW: Lisa Relert RIGHT: Lisa Fetter Beth Barrett Joseph Baldanza Jolisa Baskin Roger Bennett Haskell Berman 9 Loretha Blank A Whole New Wor d . . . Because computer technology is becoming a dominant influence in our growing society. we are losing sight of artistic expression. As emphasis is placed more and more on science and technology, creativity is quickly being diminished. LEFT: Skip Wohlert BELOW: Patti Romano. Patti Buchholz, Justine Smith .. . and End of an Old One Where we - the class of '80 e become parents, our children will ask us how the theater works, what a symphony orchestra is, why people paint or sculpt or write for a living. Their lives will be devoid of culture, of creativity, of a sense of individualism and self-expression. They will have to fit into the mold and answer to the number which the coun- try's central computer system has assigned to them . . .

They will have known nothing else. But we do know. We have been exposed to culture and self expression, the arts and humanities. We may consider ourselves lucky for growing up in the 70's, very lucky indeed. LEFT: Sarl Sardell FAR LEFT: Ulises Navarrete Dona Carletto David Carlisle Oppo tunity Will Answer I believe that in the 80's we will reach a beautiful balance in our lives. Computers will be used to calculate proper proportions of all aspects of our society. We will put our technology to work for us by measuring the correct proportions of recreation, to academics, to arts, to entertainment, to business, to pleasure, to black, to white. We will understand that balance is the key to success. Going to extremes will only be destructible. With this new understanding, we may possibly eliminate world prejudice. We will realize that variety only enhances the quality of life. We will strive to attain variety among people, activities, and ideas. This new climate will make for a more well rounded, diversified, flexible nation. This will bring us success. BELOW: Dee Ann Breltbach RIGHT: Maura Murphy FAR RIGHT: Sandy Malnak Ralph Casbarro 9in..

Fred Cimino l X: VRay Clowney Carolyn Cleary Peter Coakley Call to Action How do you think the American Life style will change in 15 years? In the next fifteen years I think there will be a significant change in the American Lifestyle. I think this year will be the turning point. The handling of the Iranian situation and the election of the President will be two important factors. There will be great infla- tion. Maybe welll have a replacement for oil. I think many of the problems we have now will be greater. -Jean McPherson BELOW: Larry Wilderotter LEFT: Ruth Obre Momentum is on Your Side During the next fifteen years, Americans will be changing their lifestyles very drastically. I think more emphasis will be placed on inner satisfaction rather than material wealth. Issues like aid to the Cam- bodian refugees will become more prevalent while inflation and unemploy- ment will die in terms of personal impor- tance. Many prominent authorities have called the seventy's the nme generation. During the eighties and nineties, I think they will describe our American people as the us generation and this will be evidenced by our increasing of benevolent activities. -Mark Introcaso RIGHT: Donna Allen FAR RIGHT: Mark Carlngl w Lisa Cohen Frank Cook Robin Cohen Mark Cook Steven Cohen Cynthia Corbin yri Co Gail Dangler 1 Louis Dkello : j, Todd De Lusant Suzanne Derby Toni D'Oria Andrew Elwell Dina DiFlumeri Steven Dishler Catherine Dubois Lenora Ervin Excellence Never Changes Thirty years from now I'll look back on my high school days and laugh. I'll wonder why I spent 4 years of my life in Academic agony when all I want to do is wait on tables for the rest of my life. I don't care much about money. I'm only interested in meeting real sincere people not plastic ones who use money and stature as masks. In 30 years I'll wonder why I sat for 6 hours memorizing the periodic table or Pythagorus' theorem or basic law of supply and demand. I'll wonder how they made me more of a sincere, hardworking. decent human being, and wonder if all the aggravation was worth it.

I wish to study to become a researcher for either the United States or an independent agent. Hopefully my career will be suc- cessful and I will be able to contribute to our great search for energy. Whether we uncover new sources of energy, create alternative methods, or develop and better manage old ones, our nation will depend on people like me to supply it with sufficient energy.

Gavin Gatta i sep h Gentempoi 6 Tony Furrow Jeff ealiina Career Energy. . . Power Source Waiting to be Tapped If we do not become independent with respect to energy, the entire free world will take advantage of us. The United States will no longer be one of the most powerful na- tions in the world. The American dollar will be worth pennies abroad, our military will hold no weight, and we will have to be at the heck and call of nations like Russia, Japan and Egypt. Nationalism and confidence will be at an aiI-time low if we do not show the world that we really are the great nation we profess to be. This can only be achieved through independence, specifically with energy. it shouldn't be necessary for us to import 520A. of all our nation's oil. It shouldn't be true that as a minute fraction of the worlds population we consume Va its' energy, and lastly it shouldn't be true that we destroy a little more of the natural en- vironment everytime we turn on the stove or start our car. My goal is to insure the well being of our country in the coming decade and thereaf- ter through research and development of energy sources. BELOW: Jim Whitney RIGHT: Lisa Karasic Lets Talk Technology I believe world peace can be achieved only through inner peace. The 705 have created barriers between ourselves and God. This has created inner turmoil in all of us. Our decadent life style creates tension and anger manifested in the relationships between people. I am going to devote my life to the clergy so that I may promote world peace. In the coming decade I wish to learn more about myself, about my fellow man, and about our relationship to God. Through his un- derstanding, I will hopefully be able to make my contribution toward creating har- mony among the nations, races, and in- dividuals on earth.

There are not many frontiers open to women anymore. Teaching is out, nursing is at a stand still, medical schools now ad- mit more women than they ever did, and law schools are becoming crowded with the hfairer sex. So why shouldn't I attempt to enter an area where women have only been used as clerks?

In- dustry has recognized it and we constantly see the expansion of multinational com- panies. Soon the third world will be ready for a new kind of diplomat.

Working with children will afford me the op- portunity to give of myseif, express myself, and share my wealth of positive feelings towards life. For instance, as a kindergar- ten teacher i can serve in the capacities of mother, best friend, nurse, and dis- ciplinarian. i have a talent for developing very special relationships with my kids. Working with children is a give and take situation. While I give them everything i possibly can in the way of basic education, and entertainment they give me a love in- comparable to anything else.

Nowhere, if we continue to neglect the shortcomings of our economy. Right now we are in the midst of a terrible inflation. According to economic history, there are certain specific ways of curing inflation. Because we see that the classic Phelps trade-off between inflation and unemployment doesn't work, we must explore other areas. For one, we must increase our productivity rate. Second, we must establish a more favorable balance of trade. Thirdly we must become more energy efficient so we don't have to rely on foreign oil, and lastly we must seek government assistance. Although we do not want to encourage socialism, we do feel that our government could help out a little. LEFT: Mlndy Applegate BELOW: Paula Schodowskl X' 91 Opportunity Our plan must be to execute each one of these measures carefully and properly. Once we get our nation on the road to economic recovery we may determine a direction. For now, we know we have one task, and one task only.

This includes the foods we eat, the fuels we use, the things we do. It seems our morals have been somewhat altered by this narcisistic age. Many of our daily habits are harmful to our bodies, our environment, and our fellow man. If we stop for a moment, look around, and really see what's happening, we will think twice before we put saccharin in our coffee, light up a cigarette, throw our trash on the ground, or drive our car 30 miles over the speed limit. We will realize that without these things, our lives and our Earth will be much better than it is today. FAR LEFT: Mark Wahl LEFT: Denise Telonldls Alice Madden 95 Sandra Malnak Challenge I am annoyed with all the anti people today. We live in a pretty good place. We have the advantages today that our an- cestors never did. The average standard of living is way above that of previous ages. 80 what's all the complaining about? Maybe if all the negative people stopped complaining and did something they would see how lucky they really are. In 10 years, when our living conditions are even worse than they are today, we'll know who to point the fingers at.

I've always been strong in the sciences but never really had the desire to be a doctor. I think ltll be married by the time I'm 27 but I don't want children until I have a few years to spend with my wife alone. We'll travel and really build on our relationship before we start a new one, one with children included. By the time Pm 65, I'll retire, live on a nice pension, and enjoy watching my grandchildren grow. FAR LEFT: Scott Ansell LEFT: Mark Cook BELOW: John West Thereill Always be a Shortage of Talent Economics has been a hot profession. That trend will probably hold for the im- mediate future. There's been a great explo- sion of economists as Federal employees. That may level off some, but it will probably continue on the state and local levels. Students planning careers as economists obviously need a thorough preparation in mathematics. And it helps to have an analytical ability, a talent for asking the right questions. For students planning careers in business, the economics majors look like a pretty good bet. At the graduate level I ex- pect that most of the products of the top in- stitutions will continue to go into academics. But you will find some of them surfacing in industry.

A big Ruth MUQQ'IN Maura Murphy problem is maldistrlbution of services. If professionals are willing to move where there is a lack of supply, there will be op- portunities. The professionals, particularly doctors, must learn more about working with peo- ple. There's going to be a swelling in family practice because people are going to de- mand it. Also, the public will look more in the health field, such as nurses, instead of physicians. There will be a wider accep- tance of related specialties-mitronists. chiropractors. Also there has been an in- crease in the number of minorities and women tend to be attracted to family prac- tice and primary-care specialties.

For instance, Sears has more credit cards than any bank. That tends to depress the banking employment picture. But the positives outweigh those factors. There will be a continuing expansion of financial services by the aggressive banks, particularly as opportunities for growth spread across the nation. Banks will also need increasingly specialized skills. For instance, operating a credit-card service requires decidedly dif- l ferent skills from lending money to a large l l l k t Scott Page corporation. About as many people with un- dergraduate degrees are hired as those with M.B.A.ls. The one difference is that the master's degree holders will have probably had prior experience. Therefore, they go directly into jobs. LEFT: Wendy Purcell BELOW: Cindy Woda, Mrs. Dell'Omo Making the Right Connection The legal profession will be different for two reasons. First, there has been a tremendous increase in the number of women in the profession. And second, there has also been an increase in the num- ber of Blacks an Hispanics. Welve already begun to see the changes in the courts. Thirteen years ago, maybe five women lawyers a year were involved in litigation. Now it's not unusual to see that many a single day. The profession is probably more com- petitive than ever. As some of the ablest young people have gone into the law, the competition for seats in the law schools has become very keen, as has the competition for jobs that pay well. For three clerkship positions available, usually 150 applica- tions are received and there are almost as many women applicants as there are men.

The supermarketing of clothing is part of this phenomenon. it all started with the so- called designer's jeans, something taken from the street, with a designer's name stuck on it. Although jobs in the mass fashion marketing will continue to grow, creative design will be harder than ever to enter, and if you want to enter, you better be prepared for a great sacrifice. Of the assistants hired, persons with an international background are desired. Among those now working in studios are assistants from Thailand. Italy. Wales, and New York. it's not difficult to get a job if one is talented, but the selectivity is very demanding. Its not a cookie cutter opera- tion.

LEFT: Jill Huss BELOW: Pam Petko, Jeff Belfer 116 You Make the Decision Like Broadway, the rock-records in- dustry and the movies. the nations retailing industry, the largest employer in the United States, is embarked on a quest for superstars in the light of recent, spec- tacular successes by individuals. Age, background, and sex are no barriers for the talented people who have quickly, or over a period of time, racked up an impressive record. And they add that three types of superstars will be most in de- mand in the years ahead. These will be merchandising executives who can give a store directional impact; real-estate ex- ecutives who can pinpoint viable, strategic store sites; and marketing or sales- promotion experts skilled at positioning a retailer in a major or minor metropolitan area. The hunt for these superstars in an in- dustry until recently noted for being long on hours and short on rewards - is one of the more dynamic elements pointing to a bright career future in retailing. The most sucessful of the candidates in this enter- prise have achieved impressive incomes not unlike those in the entertainment field or, in a brief time, have commanded im- pressive salaries that will put them on the road to superstar status. This highway has been reached through different routes and with a varied repertoir of skills.

Mark Sleifer Robln Slutsky Sharon Smyth Judith Spanarkel en Spbhrer What Happened to the Class of 80 From the White House to the firehouse, Government offers a kaleidoscope of jobs that range from the sublime to the pedestrian. Government however. is no longer a growth industry. The days of rapid expansion of public payrolls have faded into the mists of the early 70's. The expectation of growth in state and local government employment, is that it will no more than keep pace with the growth of the economy. President Carter, mean while, is trying to shrink the Federal Government's share of the national economic pie, so one must expect that Federal employment will lag behind general trends.

Dave Hultman Dynamic Areas Meet Dynamic People The prospects for new jobs in some fields are much brighter than they are in others. Excellent job opportunities are ex- pected for industrial-purchasing agents because of increased emphasis by businesses in reducing purchasing costs. Almost without exception, the job market for teachers will be too tight, at almost every level. But lhere will be better oppor- tunities for academicians outside of teaching - for psychologists in clinics and industrial psychology, for historians in such specialties as historic preservation and business history. for economics in banks and businesses and for environmental scientists in such areas as energy explora- tion and pollution control. -M.A. BELOW: Surfer RIGHT: Lynn Chernetz Stacey Stavitsky Mitchell Stern R David Stiles i yw' Christopher Swenartbh Darlene Thorpe David Troum Doreen Teresi Robert Van Brunt Lance Van Note Stepping Stones If you want to be a lawyer, you'd better face the fact, experts say. that your chances of finding work will be much better if you avoid California and most of the big cities on the East Coast. In the next decade, openings for new lawyers should be relatively more plentiful in small towns and suburbs. Registered nurses, on the other hand, will be needed in inner cities, and architects will find the job outlook most favorable in the South and in states that do not have architectural schools turning out graduates. Bartenders should look first, for obvious reasons, in states like North Carolina that have recently liberalized drinking laws. The trick is to be in the right place at the right time with the right skills. -A.J. LEFT: Chis Gordon, Wylie. Mark Horowitz BELOW: Lori Sudalter Kevin Vincent 123 Absolutely, Positively Be a Winner In seeking jobs, there may be particular frustration for those who have gained academic credentials - once a passport to stimulating work, and often status. College graduates may be squeezed out of professional and managerial pursuits and be forced to take clerical and perhaps blue- collar jobs. There are other factors that affect the job outlook. For instance: Business conditions. Some fields-advertising, travel promotion, and landscape architecture, to name three e are especially sensitive to general economic conditions. In good years, these jobs will be plentiful, but when the business cycle is on the downside, the jobs will dry up. BELOW: Pam Ginnett, Ron Albucher.

Today, about two-thirds of married women have paying jobs. By 1990, the proportion will have risen to three- quarters. White collar workers now make up about half the work force, and continuing the trend of the last decade, more than half of the new jobs are expected to be in white- collar areas. The number of blue-collar workers is growing more slowly, but jobs are likely to be in and about a quarter of the new jobs are likely to be in those fields. l Most of the remaining openings will be for service workers. As has been the case since World War Two, few people each year work on farms. l l FAR LEFT: Felicia Graff LEFT: Harold Scott 127 Cynthia Woda Robin Woda Steven Wohlert We,re Serious About Success I have learned many things in high school.

Who could forget their daring ingenuity Freshman Year with the Freshman float, Comedy Headliners . It was not the prettiest float, but definitely the most original! Sophomore year was an enticing ex- perience. Led by Mr. Mark Frankel; President Tara Watkins; Vice-president, Ginger Bressler, with Larry Hipschman, Pam Petko. and Joann Huntowski as following officers. the class of 1980 took on tremendous energy and succeeded in building Buck by Buck this extraor- dinary and well presented float. The dreary and rainy Homecoming Day was truly enlightened by their marvelous presentation of the Three Littie Pigs . This float definitely showed that this class had a shining potential. Junior year the class was given the trade mark of Success . With Tara Watkins. Ginger Bressler, Jeff Linfante, Doug Richter, and Pam Petko as class officers, the class proved to be an enor- mously energetic group. They took first place with their unforgettable float called, A Knight to Remember . it con- sisted of a springing Knight in shining armor, a medieval castle, and a fire green dragon. The ambition and unity portrayed by the float was reflected on the Almost Anything Goes competition where juniors took first place. The bake sales, car washes, and bumper-stickers- Seniors: Tomorrowis Future drive all paid off when Junior year reached its climax with the Junior Prom. The Knight proved to be an unforget- table event with the Junior High cafetorium decorated like a medieval castle. The evening ended, with the crowning of Queen Tara Watkins and King Kenny Simon. It was truly A Knight to Remember . The class' final year in O.T.H.S. was a memorable one. Once again Tara Watkins was named president with Ginger Bressler, Jeff Linfante, Denise Telonidis, and Kenny Simon as class of- ficers. The class succeeded once again in presenting Homecoming Day with the winning float, uFun Under The Sun , and Tara Watkins was named Homecoming Queen. The success of the float was just a beginning, for this gave the class momentum and enthusiasm for success in further activities. With the help of the class advisors, Mark Frankel, Vicki Be- jda, and Marilyn Guiiford, the class put forth their energy in trying to get rid of the endless candy for the candy sale. This was followed by car washes. bake sales, pancake breakfast, picnics and even Christmas caroiiing on Christmas Eve. The Class of 1980 has opened up a new decade for O.T.H.S. The class with enthusiasm and never ending rowdiness will always be remembered in O.T.H.S. The halis wiII always echo their cries of cheer and remember their neverending spirit.

Advances such as the space explora- tions, the invention of the pocket-sized calculator, and the extensive use of computers are all products of this technological craze. Although these advances have provided us with numerous con- veniences, they may have a negative effect on our future. By the end of the twentieth century it is quite possible that our world will be run by computers and machines. We will no longer be distinct individuals but rather distinct numbers. At the rate technology is ad- vancing, complete automation is the only possible outcome. -Brad Slutsky 132 Wu w! J' r The New 803 Fashion Trends? Will the knickers fad return?

Due to the help, enthusiasm, and support of the Junior Class and our advisors, Mr. Gartner and Mr. Gardella, we accomplished many of the goals we set for ourselves. Our first major project was the Homecoming Day float. Although our float may not have been a winner in the eyes of the judges, the Juniors who worked on it were very proud of it. With Autumn as our theme, we depicted the Legend of Sleepy Hollow. It was the best float our class had created yet, and we hope to win the competition as Seniors. After Homecoming, we began concentrating on various fund raisers. We held bake sales, washed cars, held a dance, and sold pretzels at basketball games to increase our treasury.

It could potentially have the most effect on our world. This year the club has shown relentless effort and determined hard work in raising funds. En- couraged by its enthusiastic leader, Mr. Richards, we hope to raise more money for people who are less fortunate than we. While our funds remain low. our outlook for the future is high. Our school literary magazine, The Af- terglow , provides the school a great service. Through its efforts, we receive artistic works which can in turn, inspire us to be creative. The Afterglow helps to replenish a decreasing sup- ply of beauty, art, and culture to an all too scientific world. Under the guidance of Mr. Richards, The Afterglow affords many budding artists their first opportunity for growth and exposure. 203 204 The language clubs, including Spanish, Russian, French, and Italian, hold many fund raising events including bake sales and dances. The proceeds of these events go towards field trips and other activities, such as a trip to see Spanish Flamingo dancers or to an Italian Opera, related to the respective languages. The language clubs afford students the opportunity to be with other students who have similar interests while promoting international education.

Each class screamed wildly proclaiming its superiority; each class out yelling the other. Sweeping the first 5 events, the Juniors quickly took the lead. Amidst the excitement, an announ- cement declared the U.S.AJU.S.S.R. Olympic Hockey game final at a US. vic- tory of 4 to 3. While the entire gym joined in chanting USA , the class rivalries suddenly disappeared. Although the Juniors unexpectedly defeated the Seniors by a narrow margin and walked away victorious, it was an exciting night for all. Everyclass, in its own right, was a winner. 210 FAR UPPER RIGHT: Library Council - John Lelivelt, Jeffrey Fishman, Joe Smith. Cathy DuBois, Yvonne Lane. John Brown, Marty Pawlukanis.

Seniors Skip Wohlert and Tony Furrow ran time af- ter time to aid in Spartan victories. Quarterbacks Greg Hunt and Bob Klinger helped the pride score again and again. Junior Rob Strano, when given the ball, knew only one destination-the endzone! Chris Tralka led the team with four interceptions. Future Spartans set their sights on the states. -Greg Hunti Midseason. the Spartans were psyched to do the impossible. Ocean had not won a homecoming game in five years. October 27th's game against Freehold Township ended that precedent. The following Sunday. Ocean went on to beat Lakewood. Offensive receivers Chris Dupree and John Shultz helped Ocean to score, while defensive standouts Skip Wohlert, Chad Watkins, Rob Strano, Chris Tralka, Bob Molloy, Glenn Applegate, Kevin Lovgren. Jim Loizos, Mark Mechura, Lou Yac- carino, and Tim Rose prevented opponents from doing the same. The next Saturday, Ocean met the first place Pt. Pleasant Boro Panthers. Despite torrential downpours, a muddy field, and discourag- ing odds, the Spartans once again did the impossi- ble. Ocean tied Pt. Boro 6-6 in one of the biggest up- sets of the season. Ocean nearly knocked the Pan- thers out of the playoffs while clinching a conference victory over Asbury Park. Overall season accom- plishments include both Chris Tralka and Mark Mechura making All Monmouth County Honorable Mention. whiie Skip Wohlert was the All Short Pun- ter.

Soccer, Hotdogs, Apple Pie, and SpartansW The Ocean Township Spartans had a frustrating year. They lost many games by only one goal. Ocean beat the State Championship Wall Township team twice last season. When the conference ended, Ocean finished 11-10, placing fourth in Class B. Even though Ocean failed to qualify, by the slim margin of one win, for the State Tournament, they finished the season by beating Monmouth Regional 3-2. This win clinched the Red Division Cham- pionship for the Spartans.

Many of their meets were close and decided in the last five places. Their top three, Andy McHugh, Robert Fyfe. and John Bisbee, were tough to beat. 1980 marks the beginning of a new era in the rapidly growing world of running. High School Track and Cross Country events are being converted to the metric system. A whole new set of records will be achieved and hopefully O.T.H.S. athletes from both boy's and girl's teams will make the books.

In the tour- nament senior Ginger Bressler was awarded Most Outstanding Player while junior Cindy Bonoforte made the Ail-Tournament team. Cindy is also to be compiimented for her outstanding accomplishment of 31 rebounds ischool recordt in one game and to have broken the 1000 rebound mark as a junior. At the start of the Conference play, Ocean en- countered some problems losing their first three games to Wall, Freehold Township, and Point Boro. Then things turned the other way with the help of juniors Toni D'Esposito and Janet Prentice and sophomore Debbie Emery who averaged 17 points a game. With victories over teams like Asbury Park, Manasquan, Lakewood, and Middletown South, Ocean was able to win the Red Division of the Shore Conference.

Long after the students of Ocean Township High School graduate, the memory of Coach Walton will forever remain in their hearts. Coach Walton loved the students of Ocean Township High School and he was dedicated to them. The teams he coached loved and respected him, for Coach Walton loved his teams. But Coach Walton's love was not only channeled to his teams. He loved the entire student body. He was always willing to help others. It was not unlike him to give up his spare time to help other coaches or students. Coach Walton was interested in helping people. He loved children, and he wanted to see them be successful. Anyone who has seen his teams knows that he realized his dream . . . The students Mr. Walton touched truly appreciated his dedication and love. The imprint he made on Ocean Township High School will forever remain as a fond remembrance in the minds of both the staff and students.

THE DECADE WHICH TAUGHT US THAT OUR EFFORTS CAN BE JUST AS GRATIFYING AS OUR REWARDS. 300 THE 708 HAVE HELPED US TO RECOGNIZE OUR RESPONSIBILITIES. IN THE 803 WE MUST ACCEPT THOSE RESPONSIBILITIES WE HAVE SEEN THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN RIGHT AND WRONG. NOW WE WILL DEMONSTRATE OUR MASTERY OF THESE PRINCIPLES. WE ARE CONFIDENT ? THAT AS WE APPROACH THE 808 . . . 304 During our years at OTHS, we have shared so many things. Laughter and tears alike have bonded us in a very special way. We've all been through many of the same things in a very similar way. We all know how our eyes burned after tedious hours of Chemistry homework, we remember how bitter the coffee tasted at 3:00 am. when the paper was due in 5 hours, we remember the dark November morning gym class that left our sneakers cold and wet all day, the lecture on Julius Caesar that seemed to last for an eternity, the Interim we were afraid to show to Mom and Dad, the Monday mornings, first period, the Friday afternoons. last period. We also know how it felt winning the float competition at Homecoming, playing in Almost Anything Goes, watching our friends in Student Varieties, receiving a special flower from a friend, pulling that impossible A in Calculus, reading our first College acceptance letter. Having shared so much, we feel that bond between us, the lasting, common. unbreakable thread of laughter, and tears. If at any time, you feel that thread growing thin, I hope you can open this book and recapture the warmth and spirit of your high school days. I hope this book inspires you to achieve success as never before. I hope you aspire to greatness and I hope you achieve it by maintaining high ideals even when times seem grim. I hope you fall nothing short of spectacular in every endeavor. I hope you continue to build and prosper upon the foundation that has been laid at OTHS. I hope you find success and contentment in all your efforts. I hope the 80is hoId a promise for you. And I hope that all your dreams come true.

Fairytale Once upon a time I saw in a dream a lone unicorn dancing upon baby's-breath and heather that embroidered a white, marble path leading to a rainbowed sunset at the end of the sea where soft clouds of magical mist rose to the glimmering constellations of Scorpio and Taurus and followed the universe to a fantasy heaven where golden angels bore gifts for the royal lords of paradise, and I lived happily ever after in reality. Joann Huntowski '80 We built castles in the sand, the waves washed them away. We saw castles in the clouds, the wind blew them away. We built castles out of cards, the children knocked them dqwn. We built castles in our minds. 0 x which nobody has found. y Helen Ingraham '80 FANTASY Why He roams free, far from civilization, His jetblack stallion always knowing the way. Sometimes I wish My dream and I follow him, I could just climb on a cloud My snowwhite filly stumbling in his path. And float forever . . . My mind's only thought is on capturing this But just when I get to my cloud, wild creature. I find out it belongs to someone else- . And I fall. My only objective- To tame him, To break his will, To injure his pride, It hurts more to find out That the cloud is taken 31:33:11; cloud- Till he is too weak to fight me. And how much pain must I feel He will be cornered. Before I reach my cloud? He will be caught. Is there even a cloud with my name on it? He will be mastered. Or will I float forever, Without a cloud, or even a person And a cloud with room to share? I will control him, own him, Change him to a meek, crawling ghost of a being, Till he has nothing left to call his own. He will be mine. I will possess him. Loretha Blank '80 Felicia Graff '80 306 Carol Ann Schiavone t80 Helping Hands Hands outstretched . . . Pleading for help. Hands barely covered with flesh, The flesh covering them, Have marks of youth. Youth that is appalling to view, Yet cannot be ignored. More hands, Filling the bare outstretched ones, with food. The hands are soft, Unmarked Pretty to look at . . . The blind see only these, These graceful hands, with painted fingernails, They do not proclaim, Their cry for help--- Yet whisper it. They ache not, For food to fill their stomachs, But ache from the hunger of loneliness. They reach out, Not merely to help others, But for others, To help them. To fill their gap with warmth. This is the symbionic relationship, It keeps the world from starving.

I've seen her cry, but don't ask why. Shels all alone, don't send her home; the doors are broken, nothing's spoken. Cold air blows in, how hard it's been. Never ask questions, the girl doesn't give. Like time she passes, its her life to live. She's the golden lady. Everybody's looking to see if the golden lady is ever gonna set herself free. She never says Hold me , yet I see her eyes yearn. She never says Hold me , Oh, when will she learn? So they gaze at her or they blaze at her, lusting or wanting to kill, but no one ever knows what pain in her grows and she is one of a very strong will. Her eyes hold tears, yet she pulls back 312 what stands so spirit tall. Her thoughts are hers, we'll take them not, it's her choice to lose it all. She's the golden lady. Everybody's lookinl to see if that golden lady is ever gonna set herself free. Yet I believe when her soul finds good strong love to challenge and to match her own, she's gonna settle down, forget her past, and they'll begin to build a home. And she'll grow secure with innocent time from the base of her ultimate landing; for while the best of houses will someday fall, the home remains forever standing. Shels the golden lady. Everybody will turn to see when that golden lady finally sets herself free - sets herself free. Donna Rice '80 When it's very late at night things run through my mind. I think about the two of us and the love that we might find. But when I awaken from my dreams and realize you are gone. Then I think of our tIme apart and I wonder how long.

Watching the big red fiery ball sink down into the sea Just the two of us alone Just you and me. Scott Page '80 I thought about you today. I saw your face, your deep blue eyes, your beautiful smile.

She lands and covers me with her snow-white wings and whispers sweet words of wisdom to me. And as she speaks, I reach out to touch her. And then . . . I'm - there . . . in a world of true life. The beings of this world live in their snow-white village, which Is surely a sign of purity. As I watched these beings study their martial arts, I realized they were not studying for seIf-defense or any other violent inten- tions, for the thoughts of these beings were concerned with the conditioning of their bodies, their souls, and for peace of mind. Here, there was no need for seIf-defense. The beings here were in pursuit of constructive goals, with positive thoughts to guide them. They learned from life that to live is to seek spiritual fulfillment, instead of surrendering to unhappiness. I asked the dove of freedom, Why is one's life so meaningful and beautiful here? She ruffled her wings and said unto me: Your world is little more than a stage, as one of your number so wisely once put it. You, man, is but an actor upon life. Is it not true that one man may characterize many others? A true man Is one who knows himseif, and judges others for what they are, not because of race. My people live here In harmony, for this is truest life. So I ask again the dove of all manis wisdom: Is it possible for me to stay? And the dove of freedom repiied softiy: So sorry, my friend, but your world is of harsh realities, and so you must return. Put to use that which you have seen and heard, for it can make you truIy a happy man. And with a touch of her silvery snow-white wing . . . I am here, back in school again.

Anonymous Robert Blenden 1N7 ,rViINH AMT um MW Fm i.gmi iNi Pit You and our happiness create a special kind of day for me - the type of day that flows by me, as in a dream. I haven't earned my wings quite yet, so instead of flying, I can only float; but even thatts enough to carry me through the day, until I must abruptly return to the coldness of reality. I leave my fantasy world well behind me, as I trudge to work or school, where responsibility awaits me with open arms. I putter around, as in a daze, not will- ing to surrender the reverie which surrounds me, until reality, in all its harshness, hits me squarely between the eyes, and I have no choice but to watch my once-soaring spirit take a nose dive.

When I'm with you my life is complete; but I want you to understand someday I will have to leave you. I want you to know the joy of giving, caring, sharing, and loving. I want life to be good to you, and make you happy. I want you to always trust me, believe in me, and know I care. I want you to know I will always love you. Dona Carletto '80 The Old Woman and the Child Daily they can be seen walking the welI-worn path through the blossoming parke the sIow-walking, fast-talking, graying old woman and the lively romping boychild. She travels slowly along the trail, Her mouth constantly moving, oblivious to her surroundings. She rambles on, proudly spilling her life for the child to hear. He tries his hardest to walk beside her, Politely listening to her stories, Until he can contain himself no longer. He bolts away, Not because he is tired of her mutterings, But he aches to explore- a baby's cry, a patch of budding daisies, or a lone mutt wandering through the foliage. Only then does her mouth close, Waiting for the boy's return. Her mind begins to ponder their friendship. He Is shy of her still, Not yet having learned how to act with one her age. He stays silent, only speaking when spoken to. She talks enough for both of them- dominating him- The gap in their ages not affecting her. But one thing about the boy bewilders her; Although he won't speak of his adventures, He blurts out I love you with every breath he takese enthusiastically, easily. Her doubts in his words have long since disappeared, Still her experiences have cautioned her; She holds her emotions back- even from the child. She does not e can not e speak her feelings. She can only trust that in time the child will learn to find love in her sparkling eyes, her dazzling smile, and her tenderly spoken words. One day it is surprising to hear the young child telling of his adventures in Alabama, As the pair slowly disappear along the trail. She smiles and when he is finished, Softly whispers I love you . He returns her smile and gives her a quick hug before he runs off to exploree a baby's cry, a patch of budding daisies, or a lone mutt wandering through the foliage. Loretha Blank '80 Solitude nding in solitude - is hypnotized the flowing movement he curtains wing gently in the breeze. DEAR ANGEL When we first met I knew You were special Maybe it was the way You looked at me or maybe that smile You always talked of Her Her special look Her special way And I listened with envy We became closer with each passing day You told me I was special a unique friend someone You loved more than anyone and You always talked of Her and I listened with curiosity You were not content with what we had You wanted a different love - afternoon sun warms her it filters softly ugh the thin cloth - a shadow faIIs ntly on the .floor behind her. - is at peace . wishes that this quiet moment last forever. Tanya Klein '80 I sit here in my faded Ievis with my sneakers kicked off and my hair falling upon my face. James Taylor sings to me as i sketch the plant which hangs upon the ceiling. My eyes begin to wander and fall upon my shelves which hold my memories of yesterday and hopes of tomorrow. I can hear the rain lightly patting the roof and wandering to the window pane. My mind begins to think of the past and dream of the future I sit here so 002in on my patchwork quilt and though I am alone, I am not lonely I'm in my very own world, something no one can take away from me, something that keeps me company when no one is there for me. I love this world, but will return to the other with its challenges and adventures But for now I'll just sing with James Taylor and finish my sketch of the plant which hangs upon the ceiling.

To express the way I feel would take days or maybe years. I try very hard to do it but I dont know if he really hears. Its hard for me to tell him how much I really care. I don't know how to begin I guess I must be scared, This one is much more special than anyone could ever be, I want to make it right and show my love clearly for him to see, What it really comes down to is that I seem to want to say, That he is very special and I love him more and more each day!

Steve Kiessling '80 VULNERABILITY The vulnerability of a girl who cares, A girl who is aware of every ripple in the forsaken brook. And she came to drink from it, To quench her unbearable thirst, To moisten her parched mouth. To rejuvenate the life in her which has been so cruelly stifled. And for once, the water beams glittering with purpose, Bubbling with joy, Beckoning with all its chivalrous charm. And for a moment, the hand on the decrepit clock freezes, allowing emotions to sour. For the beauty of truth is rare. But abruptly, the clock starts, And the girl, with highest spirits, sips. And the expected sweetness of her wildest fantasy Is in reality, 2 A bitterness That stings her tongue, And poisons her body. Darkness covers her corpse. Yet the sentimental sun, never even flickers, And the boastful brook, Glistens at its triumph. And for her pains and virtues, The girl is left with an eternal sleep. To fantasize about other sparkling waters. Robin Slutsky '80 324 FO RGOTTEN LOVE? I say I've forgotten, But lim constantly remembering.

They lack the expression, of the simple innocence of not knowing, And so they pretend to know, By throwing out names, Making others look foolish. Yet they are the Fools, For I am able to inquire, Free from the imprisonment, of egotistical lies . . . And the Followers, No longer able to view themselves in a mirror, For they are now extinct . . . YESTERDAYS So now I recall, To all those many years ago. Today is like tomorrow - Forming those yesterdays that have Gone before me, and the ones that Still have to go, My yesterdays are coming together In the hazy shapes of lost times. To only find my lost tears Among all the fallen stars. As I must also fall, among the fallen, My soul looks ahead, Forgetting those forgotten dreams, Trying to escape those scenes I read. My mind has searched, Only to find awaiting in my path Fallen stars of long ago. And of all the new ones - Adding to that never ending cinema show. I wander high and low To find those special places That my soul may go. To forget, by and by, All those many years ago. David Nahan I82 Yet my reflection, ls clear . . . Undistorted . . . I exist, Not only as an image, But as a person. And the Paranoid, Fear life itself. They retreat into the false security, of a blanket, Long outgrown. But I live life, And experience it every day. People survive, BUT I LIVE. I am the only one, Who has to accept me. And so I am shielded, From Others insults. I am cautious about the friends I choose. They must be there for me, As I will be for them. I do not thrive on what others think of me. I thrive on my self-image and my self-respect. For I am like an eagle who stands erect . . . FOR I AM ME. 327 Robin Slutsky '80 The stillness of death; The motion of life. One is wrong; One is right. One is beginning; One is end. One is darkness; One is light. One gives vision; One is blind. One you possess; One you must find. Which is which? Can you be sure? No one knows anymore. Scott Page 80 3f , 1V w thwmwtnxy A DEATH The grass will still grow in his garden. The rains will still freshen the stream. Flowers will grow in a wild display, For the cranes will be calming the sea. The sun will still shine as if for him, But the rays cannot touch his skin.

The command given, loving fathers and husbands file out obediently, Grim workers to the factory, Where remote from all humanity, Mindless, mechanical monsters shovel countless nobodies into the blaze. They see not the writhing bodies. They hear not the cathedral bells, nearby as death itself, Cutting the dense, human haze in chordless mockery. Little ones raise their eyes, Expressionless as the gaping, fiery holes before them, To the black smoke unfurling in the sky. Their hearts are screaming . . . Mama! This is not funny, Mama. Oh, please can we play a different game? Oh, wide-eyed stranger, hold me! I feel so alone . . . Are the children not enough to pierce the decade-long silence? The murderous, deafening silence?

Can heading do me harm? My head, it does grow light Billions croaked, as it is said, Heading I fear can hurt me, Itm sure I'll soon be dead.

And in it. It sweeps us up in its crescendo. It raises us up, Then suddenly drops us, To be broken and scattered on the shore. ..... but a few survive.

Unaware of hatred. So the snow grasps the earth, Not letting debris fall, Upon the delicate soil. Like a mother clutches her child, Not letting cruelity touch, the innocent skin.

Kathy Basso '80 337 TEARS, FROM A WOODGODlS SOUL In a secret place, a place that was never meant to be secret, a place that could have been shared by all, if not for jealousy and lust and greed, the woodgod stirred. At peace with the land he adored, his veins now thick with stagnant blood, both spirit and springworid would soon be apart. Along the banks of a healthy green meadow the wind stroked the surface of the lake, making it wrinkle. The lake it- self was deep, its waters a solemn green, murky, almost grim. It was fed by a small brook, which moved like cool liquid glass over smoothing stones and featureless sediment. Its move- ments were serpentine, as it slithered around sandy clearings and over the roots of thirsty trees. The sun shone brightly, as it always did, since there was never any night, just as the season was always spring. The air was comfortably cool. As the brook emptied into the lake, its waters swirled about a hard, solid mass. The water frothed and splashed gingerly over cloven hooves. Hands, as dark as fresh-tilled soil, formed a cup in the water and brought refreshment to an eager mouth. Wearily, the woodgod turned his head, as if touched by an un- seen something. His eyes were sad and unrested. His eyebrows were like fallen arches; his beard was straight and thick, and failed to hide his bleached lips. From a thatch of thick, curly hair, finely sculpted horns rose majestically from a troubled brow. All around him there was an air of frantic calm. Once more, the woodgod turned his head, his neck tight and cramped. But there was nothing around to warrant his cautious behavior. Enough. It was time for him to go. He rose painfully from the shallowness of the brook on trem- bling legs. He had thick, bushy thighs with dense, soggy fur. His calves were slim and sinewy, once fleeter than those of a wild stallion; but no more. Weak legs carried him towards the waiting meadow, while his hooves clupped softly on the fine green mattress of grass. The meadow was conversing with itself. Daisies whispered secretively to daffodils. Sequoias mumbled with disinterest. The violets ignored them all. The sun pampered the tall trees as they groped for the sky, and beneath one such tree the woodgod found himself a bed of grass. Mosses hung lazily from the branches of the tree, while some rested on the roots. He lowered himself to his knees, physically exhausted. A breeze brushed his back, and for a moment his stress was gone. lt returned once the wind withdrew its gentle touch. Stricken once more, the woodgod settled against the tree, his back to the bark. He lay on a cushion of grass, examining his handsome fur. He found fleas. Biting fleas. Fleas that had made a home in his flesh, fleasithat had made a meal of his blood. He buried his fingers in his chest and scratched furiously at the dried scabs and caked flesh, where the fleas had made their feast. The madness ceased, but only for a moment. It would soon return. The woodgod turned on his side and winced. He reached behind the tree, his fingers falling stiffly on his pipes. He placed them to his dry, withered lips. Exhausted lungs inflated the 15 Copyright 1980 by Jim Herbert pipes, and the air was filled with music, as the woodg played. He played with the gentle caress of a fawn for its mother. played with the sweet odor of daffodils wetted by morning de He played with the warmth and care of a shaft of sunlight. played with the succulence of honeysuckle. He played for lo and he played for life, and he played for the beauty that co be found in all things. When he finished playing, he bent his head in solemn co templation. He removed the pipes from his fevered lips a stroked his cheek with them fondly. He set the pipes very g : tly on the ground beside him - for the last time. From acro the rolling hills and waving grasses, a breeze washed over h and kissed his forehead. He leaned back and looked up i the branches of the tree. He saw the dark green leaves and t outstretched arms, the welcoming embrace. And the woodg felt grief. And he cried. He cried for the harshness of ingratitude for the ache of loneliness for the decay of neglect and for the affliction that was hatred. The tears streamed from his eyes; not like the crystal-cl- waters of some freshwater stream, but like a broken wat main. The tears had always been there; they were nothing n But the stress had become too great a thing to bear, and so . tears forced themselves free, wrenched from the woodgo soul, spilling like sour milk or rancid honey. There was noth very lovely about the sight. Nothing at all. At last, the well of tears ran dry. A rasping cough rose fr the woodgod's tortured throat, tightening his chest lik- clenched fist. And there was pain: pain from the thickenin- phlegm and corrupt mucus in his trachea, denying him bre pain from the vile juices that poisoned his insides . squeezed his intestines. Pain from the sickness that infecI his soul. He carried on that way for some time, writhing on the gro i like a worm in a frying pan. At length the spasms subsided, - as always, the pain remained. He settled back against thet once more, the mosses pillowing his head. Dimly, through a colorless haze, the woodgod knew that was dying. The knot in his abdomen felt like it was rippin was. The sores on his hands and feet discharged an obsc yellowishness. He did not know these things, for he could ' very little now. His head felt light, as if it were drifting. He co hear the trickling of the brook, even as his sight failed, : everything went black. The moist sweetness of honeysu lingered in his nostrils, then slowly faded, as his heart stop- beating. A relaxation he had never before known slipped i his body, as the cancer smothered his lungs and the deep ll of pain faded from his face. And he was dead. The wind shrieked mindlessly over its precious loss . struggled vainly to stir the lifeless form. Then the sun fled : the darkness came, and all was terribly quiet. The woodgod wept for many things. He did not weep for death. Jim Herbert l81 Jeffrey Fish man '82 As the gray gull soars Upward, his beseeching cry Echoes his lone-ness.

ACREJS 911 1; Kid km Sculptures By: Tara Watkins Photos By: Howard Slater THE HOUSE On a hill above the beach stands the house. It almost has a majestic aura about it, a place of grandeur there on that hill. The iron gate at the end of the driveway stands closed, looking old and rickety from disuse. Once inside the gate, an air of mystery prevails. I can't easily describe it, but I still feel it there around me.'lt hangs heavily, as if pressing down on me. There is a feeling of anticipation; as if I'm waiting for something. For what? I feel as if something has happened here; that perhaps the house is scarred. Yet, what could have caused these scars? I go on climbing further up the hill. The road twists and turns. I fling back branches and briars that seem to fly in my face. Dim sunlight peeks in through the tall tree branches and the trees cast a shadow on the driveway. I reach the garden in front of the house. Brownish-looking weeds and crabgrass have taken the place of a once blooming and green lawn. I walk up the small pathway to the steps of the house, trying to tell myself that this is an old house, that no one has been living here for years. I try to convince myself that nothing here can hurt me. The steps creak as I go up them, and I see that the handrail is now nothing more than a rusty, metal, slanted pole. I open the door. It too is creaky and rickety. I step in- side, and almost as if I were in a horror movie, the door slams shut behind me. I jump, as if that were the proper thing to do. The inside smells musty and damp. I look up and see an old chandelier that had once been shiny and bright. But now it is covered with dust, and I notice that pieces of it are broken off. I hear a noise. I think that it might be a creaky board, and so I go along to the next room. It is empty, and I see that some of the windows are boarded up. Far in a corner I see a door swinging slightly. It makes a funny noise. Not really a creaky sound, but it sounds almost as if someone had just given it a very hard push. I go through the doorway timidIy, wondering if there might be someone waiting for me on the other side. Of course, I think, therets no one there. Then I laugh at myself for being so foolish. I look around and see that this room has only a table in it, and no windows. My eyes ad- just to the darkness . . . and I realize that this must have been a ballroom or banquet hall. Again I glance carefully around, and see that there is another door. There is not only one - but two. I pretend that I am the man in the ring, choosing between the lady and the tiger. I choose the door on my right and walk to it. It opens easily, and I see a very narrow spiral staircase. I figure, why not? and begin to go up it. All of a sudden, I come to yet another door. I open it. It opens onto a wide staircase, and I assume that this must be the main one. Again I decide to investigate, but have the strangest feeling that someone else is present. I turn around, and a portrait in amazingly good condition stares at me. It is the portrait of a man, a man with a white beard and high cheek bones. But I dont notice these. It is the eyes that fascinate me. Something about those eyes make them look real! I laugh at myself again, and go further on up the stairs. Each time I take a step, however, it seems as if someone is there behind me. I glance around and see nothing. I go on, looking at the very worn and red car- peting, until something catches my eye. A spot or a stain that seems to be the wrong shade of red. I bend down to look at it more closely and notice that it looks like blood. I touch it, and realize that the spot is still damp. A chill runs up my spine as I wonder if that is fresh blood. And then, almost as if it was planned, I hear a strange whistling sound, like the wind whipping through the eaves. I go on. I have nothing to be frightened of. I reach the top of the steps and see a door right in front of me. I go up to it, and carefully open it. And there I see the back of a man! I can tell he is an older man, but I know immediately who he is. I am stricken with fear as I realize he is bending over a body, one that is apparently dead. Terror hits me as the man turns around, and then I see his eyes. My legs feel like jelly, my knees shake. I take a step backward as I see him come toward me. I try to blink. I'll wake up. I am only having a nightmare. I feel for the doorknob. I grip it and a wave of relief sweeps over me. I turn around and run. Right down the steps and around the corner until I see the front door. I glance behind me and see the man practically right behind me. I tug at the door with great force, and to my surprise it swings open easily. I charge down the steps and along the walk, not daring to glance behind me. I run all along the driveway again, swinging frantically at branches in my way. I don't stop running until I get to the iron gate, and then I look quickly back. I see him there, that man standing on the porch with the door open behind him. lfeel his eyes looking at me, as I climb hurriedly over the fence. But when once more I look back, he is no longer there. I breathe in deeply and walk slowly down the hill.
