This is our school, where the gap between childhood dreams and adult reality is bridged. Every experience . . . from solving world problems in class room discussions, to dancing at The Rec, contributes in some way to our growth. The most appealing feature of Point High is the friendliness that penetrates every aspect of our scholastic and extra- curricular life. Friendly times, spent chattering before classy tough times, the night before exams, happy times, when the Garnet Gulls make a touchdown . . . all, blend together into four exciting years. The Ebb Tide staff has attempted to convert some of this enthusiastic and co-operative spirit into ink and paper form. Friendliness has been adopted as the l95l Ebb Tide theme because it best portrays the atmosphere which exists in Point High. 3 Mrs. Ellen G. Stetser Dedication A conscientious worker, Mrs. Stetser is not satisfied until she has accomplished a worthwhile iob. lt was with her untiring help and great understanding that this yearbook was published. Besides sharing her knowledge with the class as a whole, she is willing to assist each individual. The Senior class is indebted to Mrs. Stetser for the long, after school hours she devoted toward class activi- ties. Mrs. Stetser teaches English. It is with great pleasure that the class of 1951 dedi- cates our yearbook to Mrs. Stetser, senior faculty advisor. Not only has she proven to be a capable teacher, but she has often demonstrated her friendly attitude and given helpful advice to a perplexed Senior class. Mrs. Stetser has a genuine personality, and though always ready with a smile, she is sincere and a perion to whom all of usilike to take our problems.

How Can Point Pleasant Beach Hi9l1 School Serve Its Pupils? Secondary education, in this great nation of ours, is both a matter of learning fundamental facts and skills, and an experience in living together with other people harmoniously and cooperatively. Thus, the broad func- tion of the high school-OUR high school-should be to develop the potential capacities of its youth toward their intellectual, physical, social, cultural, moral, and vocational growth. ln addition to helping pupils learn to understand the ideals, responsibilities, and rights in American democracy, the school should also: Instill a recognition of the value of edu- cation and a respect for the same, Develop in youth a sense of duty in the performance of their obligations: Teach well the fundamental p and develop a recognitigi,-Jr portance, Help pupils, stand!

Schools are provided to serve the educa- tional needs of youth, all phases of the in- struction, the activity, and even the environ- ment of the school contribute to the complete influence the school exerts in the life of the child. Needless to say, all these influences should be continuously good. The ultimate goal of the school stafi-ad- ministrators and teachers working together democratically-is to reach each pupil, indi- vidually, and to meet his needs. Best results are obtained when the pupil, cooperating with the school stali, works to help himself and his schoolmates, thus actually sharing in the administration of the school. Cooperative action between Mr. Whitcomb and Mr. Antrim helps formulate the educational policy of the school. Here the administration makes arrange- ments for the school evaluation program. Board of Edu Important in the functioning of every school system is its Board of Education, serving in the public interest and without pay. Elected by the people, the members of the Board choose and appoint their District Clerk, Supervising Principal, principals, teachers, and all other employees. They are charged with the responsibility of providing, maintaining, and replacing school property, annually, they prepare and submit for pub- lic vote a budget for the operation of the school system, in accordance with the state school laws, they determine the policies of the schools. The 1951 Ebb Tide expresses the school's appreciation to the Board of Education mem- bers for their unselfish devotion of time, thought, and effort to the cause of public education in our behalf. Meeting to arrange the school budget are: Mr. Edward B. Wardell, president, Mr. L. Errol Pearce, district clerk, Mr. Norman I. Shoemaker and Mr. Joseph Patterson. Ab- sent: Mrs. Sophie Heckel and Mr. George M. Brooks. cation Q ,g Three Staffs Maintained Facilities l v Miss Natkie accepts a call for Mr. Antrim, while Mrs. Frazee mimeographs a notice, and Miss Bern- hardt checks her shorthand notes. Nine capable workers are respon- sible for performing the secretarial, ianitorial and lunch room work. All the office work is accomplished by Miss Lydia Bernhart, Mr. An- trim's secretary, Miss Regina Nat- kie, Mr. Whitcomb's secretary, and Mrs. Gertrude Frazee, elementary school secretary. They take dicta- tion, issue late slips, mimeograph notices and are definitely an asset to Point Pleasant Beach High School. The janitorial staff is composed of Mr. John Carver, Mr. William Mur- phy, and Mr. William Briggs. These men have done an excellent iob keeping our school clean and or- derly. Tempting noontime meals are pre- pared each day by Mrs. Ellen Rob- berts and Mrs. Gertrude Terhune, the cafeteria staff. A variety of menus are arranged by Mrs. Kath- erine Brandes fhome economics teacherl. Through the efforts of these staffs, Point High students work in an or- derly atmosphere. Mr. Murphy and Mr. Carver unlock a supply room door which contains brooms to sweep the 20 class- room building. L- , g ...,...,. .iii , With lunch almost prepared, Mrs. Roberts, Mrs. Brandes and Mrs. Terhune pause shortly before the cafeteria line forms.

With her wonderful disposition and helpful- ness, Mrs. Brandes diligently guided us through our sewing and cooking proiects. Conscientious Mr. Bridenbaugh has managed to give students an adequate knowledge of mathematics. The boys can often be seen consulting Unc. Elkinton for advice about shop proiects. Mr. Faull's English classes have been an in- spiring experience because of his interesting presentation of material. Enthusiastic Miss Flower directed the guid- ance program in addition to teaching history and sponsorina senior activities. A pleasing personality combined with her expert guidance of girls' physical education made Mrs. Hammarberg greatly respected by everyone. Always kidding, always smiling was Mr. Ke- witt, our capable general science teacher. ' bkfrcgf Hifi ,gf if 'L7' t X 5 gg Hqmmgrberg B S Nicholas Kewitt-B S M A Jeanne E. King-B.S. Albert l.

Mrs. Long's biology and history was made simple by her ingenious explanation and helpful examples. With patience and understanding, Miss Osmun taught us to have a better outlook upon lite.

Mr. Patterson's easy manner of presenting commercial subiects ably equipped his pupils for the commercial world, Miss Paxton, librarian and English teacher, became popular with the students in her first year with us.

Enthusiastic Mr. Stetser has done wonders with our band and choral groups. The Rock led us through very successful football and baseball seasons. Mrs. Trammell, history and mathematics in- structor, contributed much to the educational advancement of her students. Robert C. Stetser-B.S., M.S. 55. William D. Stratton-B.S., M.5. Auleen V.

Rings, And Sales Were With the closing of the school year, 1950-51, the Junior Class of Point Pleas- ant Beach High School is credited with many prosperous and creative accom- plishments. These consisted of selling candy at football games, also in accord- ance with the football season, the class instituted the plan of selling beanies with the traditional red and white colors stamped on them. ln December the class had a very suc- cessful food sale. A spaghetti dinner which was held in the school cafeteria was a great success for not only did everyone enioy the dinner but the class treasury received a substantial amount of money. As the yearly tradition the iuniors staged a basketball game be- tween the boys and the girls, which the girls won, showing that females are not always the weaker sex. The Junior Prom, a climax to the year's activities, was a great success. The iun- iors eagerly await next year when they take over senior positions. juniors Compare Class rings during C Sfudy hall.

A In October of 1950, the Juniors were busily trying to decide which of the four class rings in the show case they wanted. In early February their choice, an oblong ring with the traditional ship emblem, arrived. The rings were obtained in either black onyx, spinel, ruby, or solid gold, accord- ing to each student's individual taste. Mrs. Long, as the class advisor, is really kept busy, keeping the ac- counts in order. School spirit must be at a new height, because almost IOOM of the Juniors bought class rings this year. Sophs Arranged Dance, Dinner, and Sales SOPHOMORE CLASS This year was both a busy and profitable one for the Sophomore Class. Alter electing as their class officers, Caro' Herbert, president, Lea Aimen, vice-presi- dent, Sandra Vogel, secretory, and Eileen O'Mara, treasurer, the class started work immediately on plans for a Turkey Dinner. This proved to be one of the biggest and most financially successful proiects which they sponsored. The ever popular Soph Hop was a tremen- dous array of spring flowers, soft lights, and melodious tunes. This proved to be another successful proiect. In March, the boys played a hard, but somewhat confusing basketball game against the soph girls-using the girls' rules. The class has a club composed of their class mothers who call themselves The '53' Club . The profits realized by any projects spon- sored by this group will go to the class dur- ing their senior year. Advisors for this group were Mr. Oxenford, Miss King, Mr. lentz, Mr. Kochka and Mr. Repsher. Following a successful meeting, the Sophomore officers smile about the decisions reached by the class.

This dance was a huge success due to the careful planning of their class officers who were John Estelle, president, David Watson, vice-president, August Nothnagle, treasurer, and Theresa Zybort, secretary. Miss Osmun, Mr. Pabst, Mrs. Trammell, and Mr. Ozoroski were the able managers of this group. The freshmen seem to have a wealth of ideas and their class promises great things.

Extra curricular activities foster friendships, promote skills, and develop responsibility. Opportunities for broad participation are provided by Point High clubs, of which the gamut runs from electronics to canasta. 24 sffrw.-Pg' HM lima 'lillllt unsnnlzarluns Active Student Council Governed School ge' Checking points to be decided at the next meeting are: Tom Applegate, vice-president, Shirley Dwyer, secre- tary, Joan Von Oesen, president and Barbara Jenkin- son, treasurer. The voices of the Students are heard through this organization, for Student Council functions as a bridge between the students and administration. Group living necessitates complete cooperation and understanding among its members. Early in the fall, two representatives are chosen from each homeroom. Throughout the year, the Student Council attempts to regulate and guide civic and social life at Point High. This year, under the leadership of Joan Von Oesen, and through the untiring patience of Mr. Pabst, the advisor, the council has initiated several reforms and sponsored many activities. The Sadie Hawkins Dance , and Miss Point High Contest headed the list of successful events. Others included the Hall Patrol and Student Court, Student Day, where the students take over the positions of the faculty, the honor roll announcements, busses for away games, and the posting of the minutes of all meetings on all bulletin boards so that the students can keep up to date on council activities. Another successful undertaking of the Council this year was the Student Assemblies held for the purpose of determining opin- ions about any problems of student government which arise. Point High can be iustly proud of the Student Council, for although it may not seem too prominent in the governmental functions of the sutdent-body, the students know that the school's activities and accomplishments are built around the Council. Thorough plan- ning has been used in forming a successful organization whose rules are accepted and followed by everyone. e FIRST ROW L. to R.: B. Dias, J. White, B. Jenkinson, C. Herbert, J.

BAND AND TWIRLERS Each Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday during foot- ball season, the band could be found drilling after hours in the school yard, preparing for the next game. Drill periods were long and exacting, but the co- operation of the twirlers and band members was exceptionally high. All entered into the preparation for the pep rallies and parades with great spirit and looked forward especially to away games and bus trips. Late winter and spring rehearsals were spent in calming down an enthusiastic marching band and, from it, developing a concert group which added much to the enjoyment of the Spring Music Festival.

All three glee clubs were served by these pianists. The Advanced Chorus, under the direction of Mr. Stetser, had sev- enty members this year. They met twice a week for rehearsals. The annual Christmas Carol Service was a success. The honor solo, O Holy Night was sung by Phyllis Davis. Mozart's Gloria from the Twelfth Mass was another selection which add- ed to the enioyment of the serv- ice. The group again displayed their talents in the Spring Festival. A gay folk song from Tennessee, Frog, ln The Spring, was one of the favorite selections. Bea Poland and Joe Patterson were the accompanists for the chorus. The faithful hard work and cooperation of Mr. Stetser, with the accompanists and chorus members made us proud of the Advanced Chorus. The soloists who entertained at the Christmas Carol Service are Phyllis Davis, Carolyn Monday and Mar- ion Wendt. The girls were chosen to perform as a result of tryouts conducted among chorus members. l l FIRST ROW: B. Parr, M. Smith, G. Esdaile, J. Stone, E. Stone, R. Hooper, E. Stamos, D. Morris, B.

The auditorium is filled with suspense as students eagerly wait to see who will be chosen next for the National Honor Society. This is one of the highest achievements a pupil may attain at Point Pleasant Beach High School. Members are chosen for possessing the qualities of leadership, scholarship, character, and service. They are elected by the faculty and members of the Society. Each marking period, a banner is presented by the association to the tome room having the highest scholastic average. An lnformation 'lease program and a cake sale, under the supervision of Mr. Ray- nond Bergen, were other activities to raise funds for pins and keys. The Atlantic Chapter of the National Honor Society was founded in I947 to serve as an incentive to render service, develop character, :romote leadership, and create an enthusiasm for scholarship. Since hat time the group has enlarged and proved itself worthy of its name. 'he present officers are Jim Shoemaker, president, Jack Till, vice-presi- lent, Jean McLoughlin, secretary, Jill Lockwood, treasurer. 3l ,. A . 5555 REE?

As you read this book you see it as a whole, not the jig-saw version the staff worked witl Advisors, Mrs. Robert Stetser and Mr. Albert Kochka, worked to co-ordinate the materiai that the separate staffs contributed. Despite Editor-in-Chief Ethel Smetts' eFforts to keep the printing press well fed with completed pages, the work piled up until deadline time. There were always stray pic- tures to take, a bottomless pile of copy to correct, and tentative layouts to draw actual size. Writing thousands of words, all in a con- sistent style, was the iob of the literary staff. .lean Lundberg and her stalt spent long hours selecting iust the right word, typing write-ups and correcting copy. The financial backing was provided by a business staff headed by Joan Von Oesen. The layout and art staffs headed by Tom Applegate and Anne Clayton planned the overall appearance of the book, pausing occasionally to exchange shaggy dog jokes. While sensible souls were absorbed in home- work or cozily situated in the movies, a quartet of the faithful bent bleary-eyed over drawing boards designing layouts and crop- ping pictures.

Each member tried to lighten the burden of the editors by assisting them in their task of piecing together a book which will be treasured in the years ahead. The many jobs of the group included the designing of layouts, the interviewing of prospective advertisers, the identifying of pictures which seemed endless, and the writ- ing about seniors, clubs, and activities.

Garnet Gulls Flew With the return of but one regular lineman the 1950 Garnet Gull football prospects looked very gloomy, indeed. However, at the close of the season the record read, five wins and three defeats. Although it was a tough task to get a green team in shape, in the first contest of the season the Gulls completely out played St. Mary's of Elizabeth during the first half, and left the field leading at the intermission 6-O. Defensive weakness, especially lack of a strong pass interference cropped up in the second half and the game went to St. Mary's 21-6. This game pointed out the need for work, work and more work, and the boys did iust that. Wins came in rapid succession until the Big Reds faced one of its toughest struggles in a hard game at Tom's River which we dropped 20-7. The following week the red and white came back strongly to defeat Rumson 14-6. Then came that memorable game at Freehold which was the best game turned in all season. After spotting the Colonials a touch- down on the opening kickoff, Point out played the home team the rest of the way, but missed a tie by failing to kick the extra point after our only touchdown of the play. After defeating Atlantic Highlands 33-6, the Gulls came to the grand finale of the season, the traditional game with our rivals from across the river. As usual, a tremendous crowd was on hand to view the game, and this time the Gulls did not disappoint their staunch supporters. The final score read Point 18, Manasquan 7, in a game in which we led all the way. After the contest, one of the noisiest celebrations in recent years was staged. The parade and 'Squan Victory Dance were a fitting ending for an excellent football season. The banquet, given by the Garnet Gull Boosters, was held on De- cember 19th at the Hotel Arnold. At this time, jerseys, letters, and wallets were presented to the lettermen. This banquet came at the end of a successful year for the football team which was strongly supported by the whole school body.

Point fans were pleased by the accuracy and skill of this young team. The general style of attack which grew out of the season's efforts was one of team play rather than individual stars. Basically the J.V. was a green team composed of three iuniors, five sophomores, and seven freshmen. At the close of the season the group selected a play- er as its captain, who in the eyes of the players did the best iob of offense, defense, and general lead- ership throughout the season. The players selected Frank Cooper. A successful season encouraged fans with hopes for a strong varsity next year.

We, the class of '51, hope to use this gift many times, for it will indeed be pleasant to look back upon our four years in high school. We entered Point High a little frightened, a little awed, and very curious. There was a spirit of friendliness pervading the halls that left no one untouched. lt was easy to love Point High, to become a part of it, to be so very proud of it. Our freshman year began with the election of Mary Ellen Heath as president, Dick Brown, vice-president, Jay Perkins, secretary, and Pat King, treasurer. A talent show, under the direction of Mr. Pabst, was our first endeavor in the field of entertainment and proved very successful. The first few weeks passed in a iumble of getting lost, and looking for elevators that weren't there. Before we knew it our first retreat had come and gone. Final examinations came like lions and left us meek as lambs. We spent the summer congratulating ourselves on the fact that we were sophomores. This meant that we were half-way to the top. With Joan Von Oesen as president, Ethel Smetts, vice-president, Anne Clayton, secretary, and Joyce Dickerson, treasurer, we proceded in 1949 with an air of significance that only comes with satisfactory progress and understanding towards one another. The Soph-Hop was a hugh success with an attendance to be proud of. Our president and Ethel Mae Srnetts were on the School News page of the Air sponsored by the Asbury Park Press. 'Q Nm 'em gs:-'art . ,7 1, ff u. 1..,,,. ...if Qi? We decided to have something different in our class so the sophomore girls challenged the sophomore boys to a basketball game. It was all in fun, and after an exciting time, the males came out on top. Before we knew it, our second year had ended and the bustle of another vacation was presented, applauded, and forgotten. Soon we were telling people they could address us as iuniors. A September came and with it our return to Point High. We felt quite important, for after all, we were upper- classmen. Our class made quite a name for itself on the football and baseball fields, and the basketball court. The peppy cheerleaders and twirlers helped considerably. Under the direction of our new music teacher, Mr. Stetster, the band proved to be a great asset to the building up of school spirit! TheStudent Counci had its first Student Day and it was a great success. Then came the most important event of our year-our Junior Prom which was a billowy dreamland of soft lights, melodious music, and frllly crepe paper. In the midst of this flowery dreamland reigned Mary Ellen Heath, as our Prom Queen. and Bill Fleischman, as Klng. Our class leaders who really started the ball rolling were Dick Brown as president, Jack Till, vlce-president, Aldone Miksis, secretary, and Jean Lundberg, treasurer. Our class rlngs were delivered and accepted with proud receiving. They seemed to be a symbol of study, pleasure, friendship, and Polnt High, all put together. Mary Ellen Heath and Jean Lundberg were elected for Girls' State at N. J. C. with Joan Von Oesen and Carolyn Monday attending the Citizenship Institute. Jack Till, Jim Shoemaker, Tom Applegate, George Mlksls, and Dick Brown were privileged to go as our representatives to the Boys' State. The remainder of the year New by quickly. Our third summer passed and before we knew it there was September and school again. This time we entered grand seniors. We didn't feel too assured now, but the freshman seemed impressed by us. The election of senior officers brought Bill Fleischman as president, Jean Lundberg, vice-president, Mary Ellen Heath, secretary, and Joyce Pay your Duesl Dickerson, treasurer. The magazine drive helped our treasury out considerably. The hundred and one things of a senior year succeeded each other. The senior play, Stage Door, starring Bonita Fox and Bill Barkalow, was satisfactorily presented under the direction of Mr. Faulls. The Yearbook was prepared for publication with Ethel Mae Smetts as our very able Editor-ln-Chief. Anne Doyle was captain of the cheerleaders with Aldone Miksis as head maiorette. There was a ripple of excitement as we marked class poll ballots. statistics about our class.

Captained by Wes Gale, we gave Monasquan a tough fight and WONI Ethel Mae Smetts was presented the D. A. R. Citizenship Award. Then the enchanting, long awaited Senior Ball, Class Night, final examinations and farewell to Point High. Too soon and too true the end was reached. We were truly sorry to go, for few senior classes leave such happy times behind them. So, as we bid farewell to Point High and :nuke our way into this troubled world, we do so fortified with the memories of pleasant days with our classmates and teachers.
