^ Let's make a change
for the better
In previous years, the traditional graduation from
Ocean City High School has been held at the Music
Pier and in the past few years, in the Ocean City
•Tabernacle. However, because of the growing
&nianber of students in each graduating class, this
g 1 year's seniors are attempting to change the tradition.
g: An idea has been proposed, using the Recreation
ij Field Instead of the Tabernacle. The most pressing
y< reason for this move is the number of people that will
J-be able to attend. If held at the Tabernacle, each
^student would be given only two tickets. If, however,
§!the graduation ceremonies were held on the field,
*; each student would be given four tickets and there
would be plenty of room left over for persons that are
;simply interested in attending.
_ There are objections to this change in tradition, one
fJof the main objections is, what if it rains? Feeling
A 1 runs high among the Senior Class that like any other
activity held outdoors, a rain date can be made. After
13 years of education, a few more days really
wouldn't matter. Another objection brought up was
the effect the weather would have on the students'
ft hair. It was pointed out, however, caps are worn.
It is felt that outdoor graduations are not only
economical, they are practical as well. After all,
"you only go around once in life!" That means only
one high school graduation. Why not do it the way the
students want it? It's their graduation and their
memory to cherish in the years to come.

The newly organized Public
Speaking Club has started its
first year in existence with the
election of officers. At a
meeting October H,
nominations were made for the
offices of president, vice
president, secretary, and
-tramnr - "Hron; eteaetf to
office -were Fred Arftilrid,
Chris Rothwell Maryhn
Martin, and Eric Blashurg
respectively
The organization was started
when students approached Mis&
Swagler presently the advisor
of trig club and expressed in
terest in a club of this kind
'"Hie club will serve as a
speaker's bureau to the com
munity," remarked Miss
Swagler "We hope that all the
local organizations will take
advantage of it "
The Public Speaking Huh
sent letters to different
organizations throughout the
community The letter ex
plained that club members are
available to speak to their
organizations.
The Public Speaking Club
also plans to have debatei, At
thepresent time, however, they
will have to be held on an intraschool
basis because no area
schools have public speaWng
clubs of their own. Plans are
being made tor the future In
hopts that other schools wfll
orgiiize clubs.
Some topics were suggested
by Mr, Ira Scott Johnson and
advisor Miss Swagler for some
areai of speaking at the different
organizations. Moit of
the topics were on current or
controversial issues.
Besides speaking at various
organizations and clubs, the
members will give the nag
salute and morning announcements
over the Intercom.
Meetings are held every
lecond and fourth Monday of
the month. Although the Public
Speaking Club is a new addition
at Ocean City Hlgi School, it is
well underway as a successful
organization and iffges all other
interested students to join.

with the Raiders finishing four
runners in the top 10. Mike
Scythes finished first, Dave
Duncan fourth, Rudy Smith
fifth, Pete Jinsson eighth, and
Ken Workman 13th, as the
Raiders finished with 31 points.
Their closest competitor was
Wildwood Catholic who had 43

The Raiders then went on to
defeat Wildwood and St. Joe's
in a dual meet the following
Tuesday by a score of 15-49,
with Scythes, Duncan, Smith

Ken Workman and Charlie
Weaver followed in succession
as the Raiders swept the first

Devils, and both teams finish
with only one league loss, the
title will be decided at the CAL

Near the end of the tenon,
the top three Raider runners
will go to the sectional championships

'"Hie big meets are to come" as
thi team has to contend with
Hammonton.
Coach Harris is impressed
with his team, who haven't lost
since Hammonton beat them
October 4. "We are doing better

losses. After the loss to
Hammonton we have picked up

besides "the county title. The

top three, Scythes, Duncan and
Smith, are r-ong. With the
improvement of Pete Jansson
maybe we have a top four, Ken
Workman is doing well also.
I'm hoping for Guy Esten to
