New mini-exhibit premieres September 6

Ocean Township High School turns 50 OTHS at 50 1 to 4, Sun., Sept. 6 The Eden Woolley House

E

arly September, 1965, the doors of Ocean Township High School (OTHS) opened for the first time. It was a momentous day—the culmination of an impassioned campaign and a turning point for both Ocean Township and Asbury Park, the district that up to then had educated most of the township’s teens.

Fifty years later, almost to the day, a mini-exhibit opens at the Eden Woolley House commemorating the milestone. “OTHS at 50,� premiering 1 to 4, Sunday, September 6, uses photographs, press clippings, and artifacts to demonstrate how the school’s history mirrors five decades of social and political change.

The campaign for a high school Ocean Township’s commitment to education is long standing. Between 1784 and 1960, it built at least nine schools. None was a high school.

Graduating eighth graders had Selma Howland, the moving force behind the campaign for a high school, shows the referendum results to Edward German (left), Ocean School Superintendent, and Raymond Ewing, Ocean Board of Ed president, June 1962.

a choice: Asbury Park or Long Branch. Most chose Asbury. By 1962 Ocean students at Asbury High outnumbered city students 713 to 558.

Ocean was booming and more than 1,000 highschool-age students were projected by 1966. Asbury High, on split session since 1959, was already overcrowded. Something had to be done.

Asbury asked Ocean to sign a 20-year contract with the city as a condition for its undertaking a building expansion. Ocean refused.

There was talk of regionalization, at first rejected and later revisited by the city. But it was too late.

A full-blown campaign for an Ocean Township high school, spearheaded by the PTAs, was underway. On June 12, 1962, by a nearly 3-to-1 margin, the voters of Ocean approved a $2,969,000 bond to build their own school.

OTHS changes with the times Ocean High opened in 1965 without a senior class. Ocean seniors had returned to Asbury to graduate with their class. The next year, OTHS held its first graduation

and published its first yearbook--then as now, The Sandpiper.

A look through almost a half century of yearbooks reveals more than changing hair styles and hemlines. Here’s a sample: •

•

•

In the 1960s, Industrial Arts were just for boys, Home Economics, just for girls (who also have a “Homemaking Club�).

Title IX (prohibiting discrimination in federally funded programs) shaped the 1970s: for the first time girls had golf, tennis, and soccer teams; girls fixed cars, boys baked cakes.

The technology revolution is evident.

Keypunch machines of the 1970s give way to desktops in the late 1980s and electronics redefine the classroom in the new millennium.

Proof of the pudding In recent years, OTHS has made its share of “best high school� lists. Its own list of notable alums is impressive: Academy Award, Emmy, and Pulitzer Prize winners; distinguished educators, journalists, authors, and scientists; a fashion designer, a network news anchor, innovative entrepreneurs, and more.

Join us September 6 to learn more about these talented graduates and the history of the school that shaped them.

History of Fashion exhibit opens to enthusiastic reviews

F

or the first time since moving to the Eden Woolley House in 2009, the Museum held an advance, private opening, exclusively for its members. On Friday, June 26, those members got to enjoy wine and cheese while touring “Fashion: The History of What We Wear,” newly installed in the Richmond Gallery.

Turns out the event was quite a draw—at least for Dot Schofield, who traveled by bus and train from North Providence, Rhode Island, to attend. “I joined the Museum because I enjoy coming whenever I’m here visiting friends,” Dot explained. “The new exhibit sounded

like something I wanted to see. And it was worth six hours on public transportation!”

Our volunteers returned on Sunday to welcome guests to the public opening. Reactions are best summed up in the often overheard, “I’m coming back and bringing [fill in the blank].

They’d love it.”

For those returning, or coming to see for the first time, the exhibit will be in the Richmond Gallery through June 2016.

An annual favorite

Mother nature smiled on the July 12th American Doll Tea

T

he sun shone and a light breeze cooled. Sunday, July 12, was a perfect day for the Museum’s 7th annual American Doll Tea. The sell-out crowd of 76 adults and children agreed.

Inside the Museum, guests saw the lifelike dolls created by Laura Tuzzio Ross, the historic American Girl dolls, mini teddy bears in costume, the imported Charlie Bears (who alerted the children to the plight of the honeybee and panda bear), and our 18th century Mrs. Woolley demonstrating her spinning wheel.

Outside, under the tents, the children embroidered bags to carry their dolls, had a fashion show, heard a Woolley sisters story, and enjoyed a tea party of homemade treats.

The girls and their dolls pose with Mrs. Woolley under the trees on the grounds of the Eden Woolley House after hearing an original story of the sisters who lived in the house in the 19th century.

The event raised over $1,800 for the Museum and introduced local history to a whole new generation. Kudos to the almost 60 volunteers—including the 11

teenage docents—whose creativity and hard work once again made the American Doll Tea a smash hit.

Our 7th annual History Ghost Walk is set for 5:30, Sunday, October 18 (rain date Oct. 25) on the grounds of the Eden Woolley House. Join us to hear first-hand tales of the battlefield and homefront from ghosts with New Jersey connections.

The actors portraying our ghosts include talented amateurs (many, students) and a few professionals. They have studied the history they “channel” and deliver performances that entertain and inform. Some are stationed outside; others perform at a reception for President and Mrs. Lincoln inside the Library’s Terner Gallery.

Outside Walk Outside, guests stroll along the path east of the Museum, encountering ghosts

I remember . . .

Message from the Museum

President

Ocean Township High S Robin Truax, ‘69. Our varsity girls’ basketball team played games Friday nights—right before the varsity boys.

It was a progressive step for women’s sports and I’ve always been grateful to Dave Dahrouge for initiating this groundbreaking scheduling. Remember, it was in the day when we played half-court games, in skirts, with six-girl teams taking the floor.

“We make a living by what we do; we make a life by what we give.”

Winston Churchill

One of the hallmarks of successful communities or organizations is citizen or member participation. Volunteerism is giving service to ideas that are greater than ourselves.

I have written before about the wonderful volunteers we have at our Museum. But look around our community and consider the hundreds of people giving their time to make things happen. Think about the coaches and administrators of Little Leagues, youth football, soccer, lacrosse, and baseball.

The men and women saving lives and property in our fire departments and on our first aid squads. Those elected to the Council and Board of Education and appointed to the Planning Board, Board of Adjustment, and the Shade Tree, Environmental, and Deal Lake Commissions. Those in Police Explorers, the Community Hope Fund, the Woman’s Club, and the League of Women Voters. The drivers for Meals on Wheels and the volunteers serving in their churches and synagogues. I’m sure you can think of even more.

The key to a vibrant community is dedicated volunteers. Think about it. Is there something you can do??

James Ruimy, ‘69. I remember Mr. MacDonald. My first day in his history class he pronounced that he never had a farm, will never have a farm, and don’t ask him about farms. At the time I had been in the U.S. about five months, barely spoke English, and thought he was nuts. I was asking myself why was he so hung up on this farm business.

OTHS Girls’ Basketball, 1969

Brenda Harshman, ‘71. Meeting my husband, star parties with Mr. Truex, ballroom dancing lessons with Miss Basso, the gym fire days before prom, the Vanilla Fudge concert in the gym, attending OTHS [then a junior-senior high] from grades 7-12.

Ray Hodnett, ‘72. I remember the smell and feel of the baseball diamond and football field (the only spots with real grass on the entire campus), though I’ve long forgotten the wins and losses of the games played there. Bodies atop me, I focused on the blades of grass, the micro-climate of them, while way in the distance, coaches called for me to get up and try it again, shouting, “You can do it.”

Howard Holtz, M.D.,‘72. A highlight for me was becoming OTHS representative to the Township’s Environmental Commission. As an associate member, I applied for a Ford Foundation grant which we used to publish a brochure to build support for acquiring Deal Test Site, a 208-acre parcel in the center of town, for parkland. The purchase was approved, and over time, the park was expanded and renamed for Mayor and State Senator Joe Palaia. Passing it today, I remember being part of a special group of people who left a lasting legacy to Ocean Township.

Meri Ford Newell, ‘75. I remember performing in “Spoon River Anthology” in 1974. Best OTHS drama production ever.

Kathy Richmond Ng, ‘75. Biology (not my favorite subject) was intriguing because of my teacher, Mr. Lysko. To this day, I remember his famous line, “Everything is copacetic.” I was on the gymnastics team for 4 years. Whether we won or lost, we worked incredibly hard and practiced almost every day. When we won, we rode the bus home cheering and over-the-moon happy. When we lost, it was dead quiet. We learned to deal with success as well as failure. My experience at OTHS was a strong start to a successful life. All is good... everything is copacetic!

Robin Whitney, ‘75. Our OTHS Class of 1975 made history by winning the Homecoming float competition all four years, fondly remembered during our recent 40th Reunion! Merci

School beaucoup to Mme. Schlegal for laying the solid foundation in French language and culture that paved the way to my academic career, and thanks to Mr. Post for an amazing course in Harvard Project Physics.

Marion Winik, ‘75. The dialogue in the first lesson of French I (Michel?

Anne? Vous travaillez? Euh, non, nous regardons la television, pourquoi?). The modern dance moves choreographed by Miss Dombrowski to Carly Simon’s “You’re So Vain.” The hideous floor-length dress with lavender and white Mobius stripes printed on navy polyester I wore to the junior prom, escorted by that Johnny-on-the-spot, Kyle Henderson.

The difference between sine, cosine, tangent, and cotangent. (Actually, no. But I did at least remember that trigonometry existed.)

Sandye Renz, ‘75. I remember the early morning computer class with Mr. Best. About eight of us came before school to learn how to use an enormous computer the size of a small room that the school mysteriously had. We learned computer languages (Fortran anyone?) and made stacks of punch cards to feed into the computer. The print-outs hopefully had an answer to whatever math problem you put in. I remember Mr. Best—his red hair, his smile that made his eyes close, and his stories of hitting a deer in Pennsylvania. His class didn’t get me a job in Silicon Valley, but I do love my Mac. Paul Edelson, Booster Club member ‘76-’86. In September 1983, the Spartan Booster Club put lights on Carelli Field. The first football game of the year was played under the lights with the new coach George Conti and sophomore quarterback Matt Errico.

Greg Edelson, ‘83. OTHS in the early 80s was all about STYLE—from the characters in the building to cars in the lot. There was Arlene Taschlik honoring the 50s every day with her outfits and Mark Ripley dressed as Clark Kent in class and pounding you later in intramural basketball.

The parking lot had everything from mopeds to muscle cars, a Volkswagen Vanogan, a former state trooper car, a Cadillac ambulance, a US Mail truck, family cars, and the start of high-schoolers with luxury cars.

Christina Kenney Bass, ‘85. I loved my years at OTHS and have wonderful memories of my four years there. I went to school with many great people who are friends today. I loved the trip to Italy my sophomore year with Mrs. Bio and the Italian Club. I remember the bonfires before games, BIG RED BASHES, and our class supervisors, Ms. Baselici and Ms. Egan.

Amy Edelson Durocher, ‘86. The creation of the “Big Red”, thanks to Coach Conti, brought us to a whole new level of school spirit.

Chryssa Yaccarino, ‘86. My best memories of OTHS include hang-

John Lysko in 1982, teaching an OTHS science class. John later became OTHS principal and Ocean Township Superintendent of Schools.

ing with Jerry Hauselt and Marilyn Measure in the Athletic Department with Jenn Brown, writing for the school paper under the tutelage of Marty Sauble, and volunteering for the Hand-in-Hand fairs with Raoul Nolan. I played softball for four years with Coach Mark Frankel. Even though I was a horrible player, I stuck with it and made life-long friends, including Debra Chomsky. And, of course, the lunch crew including Amy Edelson and my dear friend Lianne Marchetti.

Jason Watt, ‘89. I remember running alongside Coach Rafter after what seemed like endless miles of cross country practice, complaining and asking when we could stop. “When you’re too tired to talk to me,” was his answer. He was a role model. Years later, I finished an Iron Man competition, like Coach Rafter, and I’m sure his example was still inspiring me.

Doug Timms, ‘93. I remember being able to park across the street after getting my license.

Dallas Dellinger Hlatky, ‘99. I remember my English teachers most fondly: Mrs. Gilman, Mr. Ryner, and Mr. Ripley. They nurtured a love of literature and poetry that has grown through the years. The things we read and conversations we had were the highlights of my education at OTHS. Dan Wilensky ‘05. I liked OTHS for the opportunity to be an athletic trainer even before I got to the school. Overall, it was a good experience.

Long quest ends for the primitive first home of Ocean’s first European settler

Museum announces the discovery of Potter’s Cave

Born in England in 1630, Thomas Potter immigrated to New England with his family as a young child. Years later, possibly drawn by land available to Englishmen under the terms of the “Monmouth

ou might say we’re on a roll. Three awards in as many months. (And the best part is that two of the three honors were the result of nominations submitted

by Museum members on their own.) Here they are: •

The Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) Award for excellent volunteer work in historic preservation, submitted by Museum and DAR

member Kathy Mazzacco.

The Mid-Atlantic Regional Archives Conference Innovative Archives Award, submitted by Museum Member Julia Telonidis (below).

First place in the 2015 Kevin M. Hale Distinguished Publications Award (Newsletters) presented by the League of Historical Societies of New Jersey.

Museum member Julia Telonidis is a professional librarian and archivist who, on her own initiative, nominated the Museum for the 2015 Innovative Archives Award issued by the Mid-Atlantic Regional Archives Conference (MARAC). We had to call MARAC to identify our unknown advocate.

We’ve since spoken to Julia, who told us that she was impressed enough by the Museum to apply for the award. She wrote the application narrative and submitted links to our newsletter, press coverage, and website. “The Museum has its act together,” she explained.“ I saw that and so did MARAC.”

In memory
