This they do with a willingness and an altruistic spirit which inspire us all. Although the office staff enjoys perhaps the least personal contact with the student, they assist him in every phase of his high school life. From the day you fill out your first schedule card to the day you receive your diploma, they are ever present in the background, guiding and aiding you. For these reasons, and in grateful appreciation of their never failing interest and understanding we respect­ fully dedicate this yearbook to Miss Mildred Leis, Mrs. Virginia Owsik, and Mrs. Vera Switras. The Editors I would like to take this opportunity to offer you my heartiest congratulations and sheerest wishes for the future. You are leaving many wonderful years behind, but stepping into a most exciting part of life. Though past years seem important now, it is the future that holds your place in life. Paraphrasing Louisa May Alcott, Let LIFE be your college; may you be graduated well and earn some honors. Eugene R. Biringer To The Class of '63: On this memorable occasion, I extend my sincerest congratulations and best wishes to the members of the graduating class. It is my fond­ est hope that the years spent at Metuchen High School will be valuable as you assume your roles in our complex society.

Signature Date: 17/12/2020 ii iii ABSTRACT Since the development of the superhero genre in the late 1930s it has been a contentious area of cultural discourse, particularly concerning its depictions of gender politics. A major critique of the genre is that it simply represents an adolescent male power fantasy; and presents a world view that valorises masculinist individualism.

    Weequahic’s MARQUIS “BO” PORTER, 1990, named new manager of the Houston Astros Major League baseball team By Brian McTaggert, MLB.com With the Houston Astros about to embark on a new era that will include a move to the American League, a new color scheme and new uniforms next season, the team on September 27th revealed the man it wants to lead the players into the new frontier. The Astros named Bo Porter to become their 17th manager at a news conference at Minute Maid Park. The 40-year-old Porter, a resident of Houston, was the 3rd base coach for the Nationals in 2012.
