We all agreed that we had a great time at the Model Congress at Temple. We repre- sented tlie state of Massachusetts, without any advertisements. Chairman Ed Reichert called out our votes and Rick Makin and Perry Cotler were our oflicial delegates. We all helped to draw up the Bills on Foreign Aid to Non-Russian Communist Countries and Federal Aid to Schools. VVe decided to be dramatic in our Senior Play and chose Thornton Wilderis Our Townf, Rick was the stage manager. Bob Cooper and Barbara Karol were the lovers, and the families were made up of Bette Brescher, Roger Collins, Joan Burrows, Judy Dennis, Dick Reynolds, and Pete Turrin. Perry Cotler was the gossipy Mrs. Soames and Sue Honour worked hard as Mr. Faulls' assistant director. We rounded out this wonderful year with a fabulous trip to Washington. The Variety Show, under the direction of Mrs. Ward, was a great success. At the annual Miss Point High Contest, Carol Witte was the winner. Other contestants were Ioanne Ehrhardt, Nancy Schmidt, Jayne Wilson, Elaine Clay- ton, and Barbara Staagard. As we look back on these past four years, We can say without a doubt that they were the greatest any class could have had, We look on Graduation not as an ending, but only as a gateway between these wonderful days and the many more wonderful days to come. 41- 4 'I' - IAYNE WILSON Treasurer '14 ' I ' vizff 4 ,, ,WI ,, 9 f , . iw ef v , ' bf ' ' QQ' 7 ' if I V uii.L5Zy,,. , 3 mf- ' .

l l - - il-gi L:- F loshhack of Events HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF ,57 By Perry Rae Cotler We entered Point High in the traditional state of fright in September 1953. We were new at everything: we hunted for the ele- vator, room 215, a bucket of steam, and all the usual things. We went out for sports, clubs, and other activities until we found our own special niches. We elected Carole Witte to her first term as president, and the other officers were Karl Cordinier, Joanne Ehrhardt, and Harry McClelland. At the Thanksgiving Day Came Rally we showed off our new school spirit by wearing red and white nightshirts, and, boy, were we proud when we tied with the seniors! The big event of the year was our Fresh- man Dance. The theme was a Bunny Hopf' and we made the decorations, as was to be- come a tradition, at Elaineis. Someone else was a newcomer that year, also, Miss Bennette. We all thought she was pretty great and somebody else must have, too, because in the fall of, our sophomore year we had two teachers named Ward. Our oflicers for our sophomore year were Carole again, Elaine Clayton, Eddie Reichert, and Sue Honour. Our brain child for the Soph Hop was l'Disneyland Dancef' We all laughed at Donald going to Daisyis party and Jo's Peter Pan. Junior year brought our class rings and the coveted title of upperclassmen. I hate to be repetitious, but our Carole was again elected president. The rest of the officers were Jayne Wilson, Judy Phillipson, and Nancy Schmidt. Our junior boys vs. girls basketball game was a real switch. The girls wore the varsity uniforms and the boys dressed up as society dames. We did a switch on the Sadie Hawkins, Day Dance, too, our theme was St, Patrick's Day. The Prom arrived amidst a shower of cherry blossoms designed for our Oriental Springtimef, Our very lovely Queen was, of course, Carole Witte, and our King, Karl Cordinier. We sent Ed Reichert, Karl Gordinier, Bill Matthews, Claude Cannon, Bill Moore, Bob Westphal, Bob McIntyre, and C-erry Cruend- ling to Boys, State, and Elaine Clayton and Carole VVitte to Girls' State, Carole is now the secretary of the Ocean County Chapter of the Alumnae Association. At last, we were seniors and our officers were Gerry Cruendling, president, and Harry McClelland, Dotty Holcombe, and Jayne Wilson. We were all eager to start work on the Ebb Tide, and we elected Karl Cordinier our editor-in-chief, with his staff consisting of Janie Bridenbaugh, Elaine Clayton, Ed Reichert, Rick Makin, Perry Cotler, Joanne Ehrhardt, and John Ing. We settled on Jour- nalism as a theme and modeled it after a four star edition. ' ,gl
