It proceeds, not by means of a series of isolated events, but as a single unit made up of many smoothly flowing and overlapping stages. Classes, dances, sports events, assemblies, plays, concerts, rallies, trips — all comprise the school year. It is with this thought in mind that we, the staff of the 1963 REGIONALOGUE, have planned the yearbook. This year the REGIONALOGUE is a true representation of its name: the log 1963 MBER rt ED THU FRI 1 6 7 8 13 14 15 20 21 22 27 28 29 JANUARY MON TUE WED THU FRI 1 2 3 4 7 8 9 10 11 14 15 16 17 18 21 22 23 24 25 28 29 30 31 of all that took place at Jonathan Dayton Regional High Schoo ' during the year 1962-1963. The administrators, the faculty, the student body, and the daily and special events which have filled our lives all year have been recorded as we shall best remember them. When we stop to renew old memories, the sweeping panorama of the year will lie before us with all its touching, exasperating, thrilling moments captured be- tween the blue and gold covers of the 1963 REGIONALOGUE. Here is your year — from opening day to commencement. DEDICATION MR. ROBERT F. LAVANTURE There are many ways to say thank you, but we, the Class of 1963, wish to show our appreciation to you, Mr. Robert F. LaVanture, by dedicating this year- book to you. As you turn its pages during the coming years, we hope you will sense the warmth and respect this, your first graduating class, feels for you. We hope you will experience satisfaction and pride in the achievements which have climaxed your first year at Jonathan Dayton Regional High School. These have been high-lighted for you on the following pages, and are accompanied by our sincere thanks for your coun- sel, interest, and understanding. We wish you many happy years at Regional. OUTSIDE ADMINISTRATORS For the smooth operation of Jonathan Dayton Regional High School, we have more than just the familiar personnel to thank. Al- though they are not as well known as our instructors and school administrators are, they are essential. Dr. Warren M. Davis, Superintendent, is the individual behind the coordination of the three Regional schools. Mr. Lewis Fredericks is administrative assistant to Dr. Davis. This year a new position L. to R.: ROW 1 — Dr. W. M. Davis. H. Smith, A. Ward, E. Fay, J. Hopping; ROW 2 — J. Conlin, G. Lohman, M. C. K. DR. WARREN M. DAVIS Jones, W. Melick, P. Foster, T. J. Nolan; ROW 3 — L. Fredericks, Dr. R. T. Jacobsen, B. J. Steiner, F. J. Stefany, F. Elsasser. was created. Dr. Randolf T. Jacobsen, former principal of the Day- ton School, was appointed Assistant Superintendent of Schools. It is his function to deal directly with the schools, enabling Dr. Davis to cope with the administrative matters which arise in a large and rapidly growing system. Behind all of these people is the Board of Education. LEWIS FREDERICKS HELEN R. SMITH DR. RANDOLF T. JACOBSEN ADMINISTRATORS DR. DONALD MERACHNIK EDMUND FREY The people pictured here form Regional ' s Administration. Mr. LaVanture and Miss Romano are responsible for the general administration of the school. Miss Singer heads our Guidance Department which attempts to aid the student in planning his future. Mr. Frey, superintendent of grounds, maintains the attractiveness of the campus. Dr. Merachnik and Mrs. Murray are Regional ' s psychologists. They help to solve special problems, advise, and lend assistance to the Department of Special Services. AND SERVICES IN SCHOOL VINCENT J. ALBANO CONRAD FRANCHINO EDWARD J. GALLAGHER The existence of one faculty group often goes unnoticed by the student body, but its work can never be ignored or underestimated. Special Services provides an incentive and opportunity for many students to remain in school success- fully. Many of us have had at least a nodding acquaintance with the reading program, the oldest phase of the Special Serv- ices, as we tried to improve our reading speed and com- prehension. The increasing awareness of the need for Special Services has caused remarkably rapid development of this unique department. ANTHONY F. GONNELLA GERALD E.

MARCIA BRITTON VIRGINIA CARTUS EVELYN CHABAK ENGLISH PLEASES H j4l: sA English courses and the people who teach them occupy a prominent place during each of the four years we spend in high school. The frightened freshman gulps his grammar. The sophisticated sophomore swallows all the basic literary forms and pleases his palate with the finer points of grammar. The jumbled junior digests American history and literature with small doses of punctuation. The self-satisfied senior enjoys a full course meal of English WALTER A.

Room 224 resounds with the force of John Peter Zenker as budding journalists pre- pare for their scoops, at the beginning of each semester. Just below, seniors can read the menu of World Literature from Aeschylus to Zeno. At all times the Regionalite is encouraged to communicate effectively in speech and writing.

STANFORD The symbol 7Tr 2 , a senior password, represents not only the union of a mysterious content with a variable, but also a marriage of science and mathematics. They are inseparable in this modem world of speed and progress. Mathematics and science at Jonathan Dayton Regional High School hold positions of importance as they expand and change to keep pace in the changing world. The Regionalite is offered a wide range of survey, specific, and new advanced courses. In Biology 2, Mr. David M. Harkness requires one original research project. The material collected by each set of two students is presented in a report at a Conference on Biological Research open to all. Mathematics courses include studies for those planning to enter the business world as well as for students wishing to apply pure mathe- matics. Seniors are offered Trigonometry, Mathematical Analysis and Algebra 3. This year a semester of calculus, a Bialeckian Experiment, utilizes six shivering seniors in quest of mathematical learning. The Mathematics and Science Departments are stressing individual study, more than ever before, as an integral part of each class. 11 WE SEE A FUTURE PAULINE KEITH, DC. DORIS BOTWINICK DAVID C. CARL JEAN CUSUMANO DENNIS FOX The movement of this earth revolves about the deeds and actions of its in- habitants. In this modern day and age with the world shrinking as it is, it is essential that ever) ' world citizen be acquainted with his fellow man. To appreciate each other ' s thoughts means to understand each other fully, and this can only be achieved by a comprehen- sive study of man, his environment, his habits and religions. Here at Regional we are offered such social studies. Thanks to a competent and willing staff, the social sciences come alive. From Freshman to Senior one can choose his field of study, be it Founda- tions of American Culture. World His- tory, Economics, Philosophy, Psychol- ogy, Development of Western Thought, Modern European History, Sociology or the mandatory 2 year American His- tory course. With a little effort on the student ' s part, the world community is laid at his feet to be studied, examined and understood for further use in prac- tical living.

SANTAQUIDA PETER SCOCCA RAYMOND YANCHUS 13 WE ARE DIRECTED TO OUR HELEN CRAWFORD THOMAS GAMBINO M ARIE GIANNONE MELVIN LEFEVER Our Guidance Department is busy all year round helping students find their places in this world. It gives each student the per- sonal attention needed to steer him in the right direction. The department provides college catalogues and other information for the college-bound student. Any senior will agree that the guidance office does a mountain of work each year to enter him into the school of his choice. It is certainly not limited to helping college-bound stu- dents reach their goal. It is also the all- important start for students entering fields of business and agriculture. Oh, but they must accept me. 14 CAREERS In the Field ADAM LaSOTA PETER DANILO ELEANOR MURPHY. DC. Where the Guidance Department leaves off, our business and agricultural courses pick up. Through the effort of their instruc- tors, students headed for these fields acquire the fundamentals necessary for successful achievement and placement. The Agriculture Department seeks to keep our school beautiful by giving its students landscaping jobs on campus. Mr. Franchino s Distributive Education Club sees that students receive practical experience in sales and business by securing jobs for them during part of the school day. or the Office VERNA BALDWIN ARTHUR BALSHAN DOROTHY CASSAK RAYMOND MARTY MARTIN TAGLIENTI ELEANOR WALKER 15 WE LEARN TO APPRECIATE MARY ANN ULBRICH, DC.

Upstairs the aroma of warm spice cake or some burning molasses leads one to rooms where mixers buzz and sewing machines hum. Here the girls receive instruction in cooking, sewing, and entertaining which will enrich their lives and their husbands ' lives in the future. Both departments plan for the future. 16 ALL OF LIFE EDWARD BROWN, D.C. MARDIA MELROV NICHOLAS ROMEO JOSEPH TRINITY and Recognizing Beauty Did you ever stop to think of all the work that goes into the production of the annual Christmas concert, or the attractive bulletin board that enhances the front entrance? The art and music departments are responsible for keeping our school culturally awake. As the days go by, oil paintings and various original art projects pour out of Room 222, keeping fingers nimble and minds aesthetically keen, while, around the corner, voices are heard singing and learning more about the world of fine arts. DAVID BRODMAN MURRAY SHERESHEWSKY WE ENJOY JOHN BROWN, DC. MICHAEL L. IANNELLI ROBERT LUMMER JOSEPH MILLS HERBERT PALMER JOHN SWEDISH 18 BOTH WINS AND LOSSES Besides developing the student mentally. Regional also endeavors to develop him physically. With two complete gyms, two outdoor athletic areas, and a competent staff, Regional is well equipped to do so. By varying its physical education programs during the year, Regional allows the student to participate in many activities. For those who wish physical activity beyond that offered in the regular classes, the Physical Education Department offers intramural basketball and wrestling for boys, and a year-round program of athletics for girls. One of the things that makes Regie mal ' s gym classes interesting is the number of humorous incidents that happen in them. For example: But coach, it ' s freezing outside. You will go out and you will enjoy it. But you ' ve got a heavy jacket on. All we have is our 1 16 of an inch thick tee-shirts and shorts. You will go out and you will enjoy it.

We can enjoy Christmas in Spain via the Language Lab. In Modern and Classical Tongues Since the understanding of other countries and peoples is essential in today ' s world, the work done in our foreign language department is very important. In addition to acquainting us with the fundamentals of the spoken language, they introduce us to the cultural, human side of the country we choose to examine. The folksongs of Germany, the Latin classics, hot Spanish music, and French art masterpieces add to the enjoyment and reward of learning a foreign language. Instruction in these fields doesn ' t end in the classroom. The language laboratory is open every day so we can apply the language in c onversation. Language clubs further encourage and promote understanding of foreign languages and people. ROBERT J. MEYER HENRY ROGERS LOIS SARWIN 21 Ever had a longing for chow mein? Ever needed a certain magazine article immediately? Ever felt as though your head would explode with pain? If so, you know the value of three dedicated ladies our school is fortunate enough to possess. Miss Maitland sees to it that dietary requirements are fulfilled while Miss Dim- mers enriches our minds and Mrs. Montgomery guards our health. All year these experts in their fields help us lead richer, fuller and safer lives at Regional. RUTH MONTGOMERY WE GET SPECIAL CARE BARBARA J. DIMMERS MARGARET MAITLAND 22 I N M E M O R I A M Mr. Stanley Werner The faculty and student body alike suffered a severe loss when Mr. Stanley Werner passed away last fall. His unfail- ing service as head of our Commercial Department and his unselfish service for recording school accounts gives cre- dence to his energetic and reliable personality. Mr. Werner was more than just a faculty member at Regional; his amiability and loyalty provided his contem- poraries with a source of counsel in all their joys and sorrows. His dedicated ambition toward our school for more than twenty-five years and the remembrance of the truly fine gentleman he was will long hold a place in the hearts of all Regionalites. 23 s Class of 24 25 I was just here four sides ago. Freshman Orientation Day, the first event of the school year, took place on September 5. The purpose of this day was to acquaint the new students at Regional with the various facets of school life before the upperclassmen arrived. After a twenty minute period in the homerooms, the Freshmen gathered in Halsey Hall to listen to brief speeches about activities that Regional offers. Richard Arends, Editor of REGION ALOGUE, discussed Academic and Service Clubs; Marianne Miller, President of the G.A.A., talked about girls ' sports; Elaine Bouchard, Vice-President of the Student Coun- cil, spoke of the purpose and theory of student government; Gary Falkin, Co-Editor of the Dayton News, talked about publications; Walter Diercks, spoke about boys ' sports; Mr. Palmer, head coach, discussed freshman football. Mr. La Vanture welcomed the freshmen warmly and spoke of the school ' s academic program. Roger Timpson, President of the Student Council, closed the assembly with a few words of advice to the Freshmen. After the assembly the Freshmen followed their regular schedule and spent twenty minutes in each class. Thus Freshman Orientation Day ended, marking the begin- ning of an eventful school year for the old and new students alike. And don ' t call me Big John! THE CLASS OF ' 66 IS BORN 26 AND STARTS ITS ACTIVITIES Before a class can begin to function, it must have effective, dedicated leaders. In its first and form- ative year these leaders play a major part in setting the pattern for class activities. The success of the Freshman cake sale and dance have paved the way for a closely knit Class of 1966 with three more exciting years stretching ahead. Freshman Class officers top to bottom: Thomas Martin; Lyla Moore; Deborah Gash ; Susan Johnson. 27 We must move ahead with great vigor. A peek in the library on alternate Mondays reveals a body ot stu- dents, hard at work, who act as a link between pupils and faculty. All sorts of problems - - from jammed locker room windows to promotion of school spirit — confront the Student Council. Establishing a school crest, judging homeroom door decorations and WE PRESENT OUR OPINIONS dress-up days, chartering buses for sports activi- ties, selling school jackets, granting scholarships and attempting peaceful coexistence kept the Council, headed by President Roger Timpson. very busy as the days of 1962 — 1963 wore on. 28 It ' s out of my hands. 29 1962-63 Varsity Soccer Team. 1st ROW 1. to r. - - C.

TEAM Plagued by injuries and ill for- tune, the Dayton Regional varsity soccer team compiled only a 1-12-3 record under rookie Coach John Palfi. It was the Booters first venture into Watchung Con- ference competition. Lack of ex- perience and lack of a home field to practice on were partially to blame for the record. With five returning lettermen at the onset of the season, a successful year was anticipated, but injuries to goalie Dennis Francis and line- man Steve Rosenthal hampered Bulldog progress. Ron Urquhart, the team ' s leading scorer, Charles Muratore, Tom Patton, Larry Lichter, Danny Golden and Ches- ter Barrita paced the team ' s play. Urquhart and Muratore received All-County honorable mention at the end of the season. With many returning lettermen, the outlook for next season is no less than optimistic. 31 WE ARE BEHIND THE TEAM L. to R. STANDING: L. Kuehn; L. Marino; P. DeNichols; K. Murphy; E. Bouchard; KNEELING: S. Barclay; R. VanVliet; A. Fisher: J. DiBiase; P. Feller. We ' re from Regional; we couldn ' t be any prouder — and if you don ' t believe us, we ' ll yell a little louder! And when the cheer- leaders yell — the crowd follows. Rieny Van Fliet and Sandy Barclay, the co-cap- tains, boost the team ' s morale and organize cheers which consti- tute the spirit for the games. Torrential rain or freez- ing cold does not discourage the girls who do their best to stimulate spirit. Few fans, as they sit in the bleachers actually realize the work these girls must do. No game is complete without them. 33 The beating of drums and the blare of brass adds excitement and color to football games. Before the game they set the mood for the crowd, which responds wholeheartedly to their spirited songs and cheers. The march- ing band, however, excels in more than just loudness. The half-time show, for those who watch it intently, shows a great deal of effort and work on the part of Mr. Romeo and the individual band members. A BAND 34 The football players are not the only part of a successful season. The dedicated Twirl- ers express the spirit of the game, even in their after- noon practice sessions on the front lawn. On cold Saturday afternoons, you will find these girls strutting their stuff and cheering their team to victo- ry. Their scanty costumes provide little protection from harsh weather, but the bit- ing cold doesn ' t decrease their dexterity or dampen their spirits. ADDS COLOR TO AN EVENT 35 PARENTS ATTEND CLASSES Yes, they do have to pay for breakage! On October 11. 1962, parents of Regional students were welcomed to our hallowed halls. Bewildered parents attempted to follow the schedule of their child. Parents scurried through the halls arriving just in time to hear the closing remarks of the teacher. Even though the break between classes was lengthened and the up and down stairways weren ' t in effect, many parents found it impossible to arrive to class on time. Revived by coffee, exhausted parents relaxed and spoke with the teach- ers. At eleven o ' clock the parents went home, glad that they were no longer stu- dents. 36 ri w But my knees are cold ! 37 Girls ' Soccer Team 1 to r ROW 1 — S. Ambis, C. Poshner, M. Miller, C.

In the fall the G.A.A. offers Hockey, Soccer and Rec. Games. Competition is interclass and interschool. Credits for partici- pation are given and awards are pre- sented at the end of the school year. On any warm autumn day after school, one is able to view a hockey game — that is, a wild group of girls chasing a little ball, only to emerge from the conglomeration of hockey sticks with a variety of minor bumps and bruises. Skill in maneuvering the ball is, however, finally achieved. In soccer too, the importance of team- work is eventually realized. Give it a good smack . . .

Assisting Coach Palmer were Coaches Albano, Lummer, Yanchus, Mills and Iannelli. With a strong offensive team led by quarterback Jack Apgar and a mighty defensive team led by guard Tom Venice, the Bulldogs outscored their opponents 159 to 82. Pacing the scorers was halfback Ron Puorro with ten touchdowns, third in the county. Receivers Butch Bell and Rich Bittle carried much ol the offensive burden, snatching short passes. Drew Wuestman and Bob Haas did most of the running for the team. On the tough forward line were Joe DiMario, John Stupak, Frank DiFabio, Tom Venice and Charles Roll. At the conclusion of the season, third team All- State w as given to end Harold Bell.

When the tense moment finally arrived, how- ever, the selection of Tom Venice as Regional ' s Man-of- the-Year was loudly acclaim- ed.

One day each year a continuous shuffle of feet is heard in the corridors near the boys ' gym. The Mantoux Test for tuberculosis is now an annual event feared by Freshmen, and taken in stride by Seniors. It ' s bleeding! and I didn ' t feel it, can be heard as students return to class. Teachers maintain their composure as Mrs. Cassak ' s soothing voice calls more students to the waiting doctors. The entire student body is tested by the end of the morning. Some of the faculty and those with positive reactions are spared the needle, since they are tested by painless x-ray. The 1962-63 test ended with pleasing results. Every- one at Regional was assured that he did not have tuberculosis. 45 JB! ? 46 Anything can be discussed over a cup of coffee. ' Tis the day before Thanksgiving and all through the school each student is stirring and faculty member too. Down in the Boys ' Gym there arose such a clatter because three hundred eighty-two mums had to be delivered. The mum sale, which is sponsored by the senior class, is an annual pre-Thanksgiving Day activity. The white and yellow flowers are symbols of this time of year and one thinks of mums whenever the Thanksgiving Day game is mentioned. Both the Rah way game, won 32-6, and the mum sale were among the many suc- cesses of 1962-1963. That s what I call a straight seam! MUM ' S THE WORD IN FALL We not only sell them, we wear them. 47 The competent office staff can do anything but give out Scotch tape. 48 OUR OFFICES HUM A vital, but unsung, part of Re- gional ' s staff is its office help. Did you lose a book? Mrs. Mason will help you look for it in the lost-and-found. Do you want to be sure the school record section of your college application is properly filled out? Leave it with Mrs. Quinzel or Mrs. Zucker in the guidance office and you can be sure it will reach the right person. Was I absent on the 26th of December? It ' s in Mrs. Cannon ' s records. Is school in session today? Mrs. Blanda cheerily answers, Yes. Can Mr. LaVanture spare the time to discuss the state of the Student Council office? Only Mrs. Rice knows that. These able, dependable ladies provide the accurate secretarial and clerical work that is needed to keep our main office and guidance office running efficiently. Can this transcript be sent within ten minutes? 49 50 You got in by yourself, now get out by yourself. MAKES HIT WITH SENIORS A November event anxiously awaited by the student body is the Senior play. This year ' s selection, The Many Loves Of Dobie Gillis, was a record breaker in all aspects. It was so well attended that many had to be disappointed and be turned away at the door. The performance was excellent, the cast being headed by RegionaFs Dobie, Paul Biddelman, and Bonnie, Tracy Bachrach. Helene Rau played Dobie ' s ideal girl, while Rod Green, Helene ' s steady, became impatient with her flirtations. The audience reacted with amusement to Bethanie Bauchner ' s portrayal of Limbo Lamb, the world-renowned actress. The performers who seemed to enjoy their roles most were the members of Happy Stella Kowalski ' s Schottishe Five. Their every appearance evoked gales of laughter. The play was a natural to be produced by the students of J.D.R.H.S. I always wanted to take a bath with my clothes on. 51 w Class of 52 53 W lYiJi i i uai v }tft r l 1 H t r ' S3F - J wVE v. jf 1 M lk i iJMt I need the energy it provides. NOVEMBER STIMULATES Milk is good for growing boys. Football and Thanksgiving are synonymous with fall and Novem- ber. Each occupies an important place during that short school month of an exhilarating season when appetites flourish and spirits rise. Teachers and students show signs of preparing for the holiday season to come as they munch and meditate in the cafeteria. The football season closes with the traditional Thanksgiving Day game with Railway, held on the following Saturday this year, but many of the good times of the school year still lie ahead for the Regionalite. £NTr 54 Your jello has more whipped cream. 55 FOOTBALL HAS ITS The Seniors vs. underclassmen annual football game indi- cates to all football enthusiasts that the season is drawing to a close. This year ' s game, fought on a bitter cold, gloomy Nov. 3rd afternoon, proved the seniors superior with a 1 2-0 victory. Despite the cold, a few school-spirited die-hards came out to watch and hear the thud of leather bruising leather which truly indicated the heated fervor that went into this game. The football season actually came to an end with the annual Booster Club Dance on Nov. 23. Although the Thanksgiving Day Game was postponed until the following Saturday, the dance was a booming success on Regional ' s social calendar this year. The vibrating music of the dance band quickened the steps of everyone in attendance, even the visiting alumni, home for the weekend. Who knows, maybe the spirit generated at this dance pushed our team on to a 32-6 trouncing of Rahway. 56 TRYING AND TENDER TIMES 58 Jack Moore, Honor Society President, opens induction ceremonies by over- seeing the lighting of the candles. TO FEW In November the National Hon- or Society inducted six seniors in a solemn candlelight service. They were elected on the ba sis of scholarship, service, leader- ship, and character. The im- pressive induction was held in the presence of an awed group of students, teachers, and proud parents. This honor, the high- est that can be bestowed on an upperclassman, was marked by tension and deep emotion. Honor Society inductees toast the future Determination should be worth a strike! WINTER BRINGS SPORTS Victory, Win, Tournament were the strike words this year for the Coach Peter Scocca ' s Bowling Team. Great optimism was expressed because of the success of last year ' s team which narrowly missed first in the county and placed third in the state. The Keglers, who sported a 170 average, lost several matches because of off days but really scored smash- ing upsets when they were at their peak. G.A.A. members also participate in bowling at Echo Lanes. Over 150 girls competed for high score of the day. A final tournament concluded the season. Interest in bowling has increased greatly this year and is ex- pected to take an even more prominent position in Regional athletics. 1962-63 Dayton Regional Boys ' Bowling Team.

Paced by the playmaking ability of Guard Jack Apgar, Coach Swedish ' s Cagers played many action-packed quarters filled with excitement and top basketball. Forward Dave Bonislawski, with an average of over sixteen points per game, was the high scorer. 6 ' 6 Center Bill Kretzer led in rebounds. Frank Monticello and Dennis Francis rounded out the starting five. Others who saw action were Keith Neigel, Gary Faucher, Jimmy Lies, Steve Arnold and Bruce Ledig.

The winter months were a typi- cally busy time for the Kiwanis Key Club. Club members were active with present projects and the planning of future activities. Having completed successful sales of school decals and light bulbs, Key Clubbers began sell- ing peanut brittle to raise money for the Salk Polio Institute. Plans for the College Bowl as- semblies and the Student-Faculty Basketball Games were in full swing this season with the Club ' s various committees working dili- gently to make these activities successful. Every week our Club members participated with neigh- boring Clubs in the District Six Basketball League. 64 65 SOPHOMORES Sophomore Officers: R. Basta, C. Yaras, M. Brownlie, A. Arends. 66 Even seniors attended the sophomore dance. The Sophomore Class kicked off the school year with the election of new officers. Most of them were actually not new at all, three of them being re-elected from last year. Headed by Rick Basta, and backed by Vice President Carl Yaras, Secretary Marilyn Brownlie, and Treasurer Arlene Arends, the Class of 1965 looks to the calendar of events with expecta- tion. Slowly but surely, they are gaining places of recognition in the school, flipping the pages of time, which don ' t always go fast enough, until 1965. The classes ' highly successful Winter Wonder- land Dance and their profitable Cake Sale added to the fine record already established as Freshmen. After their excellent start, two more rewarding years can be expected from the Class of ' 65. Joyeux Noel et Bonne Annee from Mrs. Hart to the French Club. REGIONAL EXHIBITS HOLIDAY Never was a door so well adorned. 68 p ' ; ,v; r §mMT --m. V  . ' -2 ' o SPIRIT Roger, please hand me the star! ' The Christmas season always brings a wealth of activity to Re- gional. The Student Council annually sponsors the trimming of the school Christmas tree and the homeroom door-decorating contest, while the Varsity Club sponsors the Alumni basketball game. This year Mr. Sachsel ' s homeroom won the door contest, and the Re- gional basketball team beat the Alumni, 64-43. Several other or- ganizations also did their part to spread the holiday spirit through- out Regional. The French Club, for example, had its annual Christ- mas Party in room 229, with holiday games played as they are in France. 69 CHRISTMAS 1st ROW: L. to R. -- L. Kuehn, G. Moulder, D. Ward, A.

CONCERT THRILLS AUDIENCE RegionaFs holiday season is characterized by the Christmas Concert. Miss Melroy ' s first concert at Regional included Christmas songs from around the world. Dirinda Witcher ' s solo highlighted the con- cert. The Choir, Chorale, Girls ' Glee Club, Triple Trio, and the Madrigals sang familiar and foreign selections. The Cumberland Trio, four folk singers, sang Cov- entry Carol and Go Where I Send Thee. The finale of the evening was the traditional Hallelujah sung by all the groups. The vocal music students pro- vided a treat for the audience. Regional Choir performs at annual Christmas Concert. TOP ROW: L. to R. — J. Herman, A. Randall, D. Hunter, L. Vital, B. Lemmermon, L.

Through various special speakers and films, club members learn about their future careers. These clubs also sponsor activities to give students first-hand experience in their chosen fields. The F.F.A. helps landscape the school, the F.N. A. visits various hospitals, and the F.T.A. provides student tutors to pupils with poor grades. Thus, Regional ' s students are trained for the future both in and out of the classroom. Happy students of today become helpful nurses of to morrow. Students at Regional can start preparing for careers in education. 72 73 CHEMISTRY AND For science students who are interested in pursuing their studies further than can be done in class, Regional offers the Biology and Chemistry Clubs. These clubs serve several purposes. Through in- dividual reports and experiments, students are given the chance to do independent research. When these students report their findings to the club, the entire membership of the group benefits from their knowledge. The opportunity for students to come in closer contact with their teachers is another feature of the clubs. In these groups, the teachers are able to introduce the students to new and advanced topics, and can delve deeper into material previously studied in class. Thus Regional ' s science program extends beyond class work with the Biology and Chemistry Clubs providing additional chal- lenges to the science student and quenching his thirst for knowl- edge. 74 1962-63 Varsity Wrestling Team. BOTTOM ROW I. to r.: R. Puorro, M. Muller, R. Lucariello, J. Gardella, J. Karlin. SECOND ROW: Coach Palmer, R. Haas, R. Basta, H. Goldberg, R. Bittle, T. Venice, L. Bellon, T. Baker, Coach Sachsel. This season Dayton Regional sported one of its finest wrestling teams in many seasons despite only a 7-5 record. The Grapplers, under Coaches Herb Pal- mer and Jerry Sachsel, presented a strong, well- balanced team and should be even mightier next season with the return of nine lettermen. In their third year and the mainstays of the wrestling team, were 115 pound Rich Lucariello, 123 pound Ron Puorro and 168 pound Tom Venice. 178 pound Harvey Goldberg was the only other senior. Sopho- mores and Juniors held down the remaining weight class positions. With the close of another successful season two Regional Grapplers, Tom Venice and 98 pound Jeff Karlin, were crowned with class championships in the District Finals held at Regional.

The Latin Club members traveled to see Julius Caesar, Antigone, and A Phoenix to Frequent. The German Club spent a day in New York where they saw a German movie and ate in a German restaurant. The Spanish Club visited Spanish museums and corresponded with pen pals overseas. These linguistic activities added spar- kle to the daily lessons and enhanced the students ' knowledge of the coun- try and language. 79 Be it resolved N.F.L. WELCOMES DEBATERS The N.F.L. gazes toward future victories. The Debate Club and the National Forensic League are intended to de- velop the ability for effective expres- sion in the high school student. De- bate is far from the only activity in which the truly forensically minded student participates. Student congress, extemporaneous speaking, poetry reading and radio announcing are il- lustrative of the great variety of avail- able activities. In January of this year, Dayton was host to a debate tournament involv- ing 15 New Jersey high schools. Most Regionalites were able to see at least one debate. The resolution which was discussed concerned a common mar- ket for the Western Hemisphere. This tournament like most forensic activi- ties proved to be extremely worth- while for participants and observers alike. 80 For the fourth year in a row, Senior Cake Sale is a record success. FOR TOURNAMENT Opponent quizzes Regional debater. 81 Iren and Amos leaf through the pages of an art book in one of their spare moments. Regional students again parti- cipated in the Herald Tribune World Youth Forum, acting as hosts to two delegates. Iren Spanidou of Greece and Amos Sawyerr of Liberia spent three weeks here, attending classes, group discussions, and social events, and acquainting Re- gionalites with their native lands. The United Nations is the only hope for the preservation of world peace. In preparation for their future role in world affairs the students of the Union County Regional High Schools staged a model General Assembly on Feb. 20, discussing everything from finances to apartheid. Each participant took away a greater appreciation of the UN and a more comprehensive knowledge of world affairs. One of the highlights of the school year, the UN was worth the ex- tensive preparation it required. We listen with .amusement . . . worry with energy and plan our speeches with care. dJk CLASS OF %v i 84 85 r fcr Regional offers athletic opportunities to everyone — yes, even the faculty. On March 15, twenty members of the Senior Class had their chance to get even with their favorite teachers on the basketball court. However, faculty experience proved too great as the students reluctantly acknowledged defeat. The crowd roared wildly as Mr. Albano and his associates went through their antics while the seniors tried their best to beat their overlords. Non-athletic students had their chance to perform in the wrestling and basketball intramurals. Both events proved that not all of Regional ' s good athletes are on its varsity teams. WE COMPETE Jump fellows, jump high up! THE ARTISTS This year Regional ' s dramatic and art clubs worked hand-in-hand to prepare Once Upon a Mattress. Skillful behind-the-scenes and on-stage work aided the production. Many of the Troubadours, already having considerable acting experience in the Sen- ior Play and previous musicals, secured leading roles. While the Troubadours supplied actors, the Art Workshop provided scenery. They worked day and night to decorate the King ' s court in time for this year ' s musical production. 1. to r. : R.

WORK BUSILY HALSEY HALL ONCE UPON A MATTRESS Sue Rivkind Barbara Myhrberg and Alan Yablonsky Richard Freedman On the nights of March 8th and 9th, Once upon a Mattress brought some pre-spring color to sell-out audiences in Halsey Hall. At 8:15 the audience was whisked back to the picturesque and chivalrous days of the Middle Ages as the curtain rose on the scene of a minstrel approaching a castle. Based on the fairy tale The Princess and the Pea, the story revolves around Prince Dauntless ' search for a suitable bride. Twelve maidens fail one of the tests they must take. Princess Winnifred gains the honor of marrying the prince by detecting a pea under a pile of mattresses upon which she slept. Once upon a Mattress brought rare pageantry to Regional. The vivid, lavish costumes and scenery provided a magnificent background for the perfor- mance. The elaborate costumes, however, had their drawbacks. The girls in the cast often pondered the question of how medieval ladies could move gracefully or otherwise - - in their bulky dresses. MONTHS OF WORK EARN RICH What did you say this proved? Somebody went buggy doing this project! Where are the men and women to lead America through the Space Age? On March 13, 14, and 15, some of them could be found at the Arther L. Johnson Re- gional High School in Clark. Students from the Regional schools displayed bud- ding talents at the district ' s third annual Science Fair. Hundreds of projects covering all scienti- fic areas were displayed. Many involved long hours of original research and meti- culous art work. It was worth the effort, however, wnen tne prizes were awarded. It ' s hard to believe anyone really understands this. 92 Star light, star bright, please help me win a prize to- night! REWARDS The judges confer, making an important de- cision. Among the first place winners were Ri- chard Mattern and Gregory Wanat in General Science, Adrienne Marder and Michael Adickman in Biology, Donald Smith in Chemistry, Bernie Brien in Physics, and Robert Einziger in Mathe- matics. Not only the prize winners, but all the entrants procured scientific information (and a few headaches, too) from their labors. Some of the outstanding head- ache-producers are shown on these pages. Physics and chemistry join forces to produce this product. 93 REGIONALOGUE REGIONALOGUE means work, is the understatement of the year. The never-ending pressure of deadlines, picture scheduling, and proof reading took countless tedious hours of planning and executing before the product was ready for distribution. Few students other than REGIONALOGUE staff members can boast of having remained in the school building from 8:00 AM till 11:00 PM. Those hours, however, were enjoyable and rewarding, for we learned much - - from principles of page layout to the care and feeding of our faculty adviser, Mrs. Hahn. 1. to r. : D.

The paper also inaugurated a new social event at Regional - - the Class Queen Contest. Regional ' s first four queens were crowned at the Dayton News Dance held on March 22nd. Besides their journalistic talents, Regional students can also write creatively as they demonstrate in Jonathan ' s Journal. Each June the Journal ' s publication is awaited anxiously as the source of the year ' s best short stories, poems, and essays.

AND RO SES BLEND The approach of April 5 means much to the Seniors of Regional. Small pauses in a teacher ' s lec- tures are quickly filled with chat- tering. What color is your gown? What length? With whom are you going? The boys discuss high fi- nance with hope, fear and antici- pation of the coming event. As the big night nears, silent prayers for starry skies replace thought of Health 4. Soon fair maidens and their Prince Charm- ings are dancing amid the moon- light and roses decor of the Sen- ior Ball. The expectations of the biggest Senior social event of the year are fulfilled as the night draws to a close. Only happy memories of the romantic even- ing linger on through the final exam period to become part of our tradition-filled Senior year. 99 1961-62 Junior Varsity Baseball Team L. to R.

Finishing with an 8-7 record last year, Coach Jasin- ski predicted a top county ball club this season. Four experienced pitchers — Frank Monticello, Rich Bittle, Bill Kretzer and Rich Freedman — and an infield iden- tical to last year ' s, — Dennis Francis, Steve Burger, Jack Ap- gar and Harold Bell — practiced hard and played well.

A BUSINESS WORLD 107 Throughout the halls first period every day, one can always hear vari- ous types of music flowing out of the Band room. Mr. Romeo, the band director, leads selections from many composers; the band plays everything from marches to symphonies. Mr. Ro- meo tries to select music that will create a challenge to the band mem- bers. The Band prepared all year for its concert which was held on May 17. IN MAY 108 Glenn Miller may have died many years ago, but his music is heard peri- odically emanating from the Regional Band Room. The jazzy tones are pro- duced by a small group of band mem- bers known as the Dayton Regional Dance Band. They are led by Mr. Romeo. Each year, the Dance Band exhibits their talents in various phases of en- tertainment throughout the school. Full of pep and talent, they have be- come known by everyone. THE BAND PLAYED ON 109 PROM HIGHLIGHTS JUNIORS 4tl 110 When do we eat? ' SPRING ' Twisting the night away. It ' s getting late. The high point of the Class of ' 63 ' s Junior social season came with its Prom, held May 11, 1962 at the Martinville Inn. The evening passed swiftly for the Juniors who tirelessly danced, ate, and par- ticipated in general merry making. The big mo- ment of the evening came when the Class Presi- dent Richard Arends crowned Helen Rau as the Prom Queen, and named Lorraine Paulikowski and Rieny Van Vliet as her attendants. Lively entertainment was provided throughout the evening by the Dick Myers Band. An added attraction was the singing of class members Susan Rivkind and Paul Biddleman. All in attendance will certainly remember this memorable evening. Ill CLASS OF ' 63 ENDS A FINE The class of ' 63 overflowed with intelligence, talent, and good looks, all recognized in the election of Sen- ior Superlatives. Through the past four years Carole Giallombardo and Richie Arends worked diligently in all phases of school life and were acknowledged as having done most for the Class of 1963 and for being the best all around. Carole and Tom Venice were voted most popular. Dave Liebling and Rita Wilner with their keen minds were named most intellectual. Versatile Jack Moore and Elaine Bouchard, with their high school records and personalities, were chosen most likely to succeed. Carol Billet and Jack Moore were selected most sophis- ticated. The S nior play brought out the theatrical talents of Regional: best actor Paul Biddleman and actress Tracy Bachrach. Dancing talent was exhibited by the best dancers, Richie Lucariello and Peggy Haggerty. Mr. Regional, Tom Venice and G.A.A. President, Marianne Miller showed the most athletic skills. Butch Bell and Roseanne Rappa. the class couple, could be seen strollin° ' down the halls, along with Ron Abrams and Cheryl Heeny, voted class flirts. Pom Venice and Christine Gorecki were elected best looking. Joe Di Mario and Rieny Van Vliet had the nicest smiles, while Fred Mercuro and Pat De- Nichols had the nicest eyes. Carmen Rica and Chris Gorecki were voted class pin-ups. Carol Billet and Harvey Goldberg, dressed in the best of fashions, were chosen best dressed. Frank Martin and Carol Lospinoso were chosen both class wits and most talka- tive, while John Soltis and Virginia Doege were elected the quietest. 112 CAREER The graduating class completed its final year with success and exuber- ance. The passing seasons added a sparkle to all that was done. The Senior Sports Dance climaxed the exciting fall athletics. The entire class, urged on by Walter Diercks, Gary Falkin, Carole Giallombardo and Pat DeNichols supported the class cake sale to make it the most successful ever held. The bleak winter months were brightened by thoughts of the com- ing Senior Ball, and the class trip. Miss Good and Mr. Taglienti were essential to the class ' success. ALMA MATER Here stands our high school, tried and true, Where hearts have been content, And thru the years our hearts will cling To memories we ' ve spent. O, hail! O, hail! Dear Regional High, A school like ours to cherish. On solid rock she ' s standing still, We know she ' ll never perish. The tower stretching to the sky, The babbling brook beside it, We love the halls, thy campus green, How high they lift our spirit. O, hail! O, hail! Dear Regional High, We love and honor thee. United voices sing thy praise With sad hearts now we leave thee.

The Class of 1963 reached that climax on the evening of the 19th of June. The traditional cap and gown procession moved with an especially sol- emn air, as the school band played Pomp and Cir- cumstance. Each graduate knew that he was com- pleting a most important phase in his life. He knew the impressions made and knowledge acquired would be a part of him wherever he traveled. The Class of 63 had many pleasant memories to look back upon. The friendliness and close association among the students was the outstanding character- istic of this year ' s graduating class. Their ability to work well together resulted in many class accomplish- ments. For four years in a row they broke previous school records at cake sales. Their dances and proms were marked by unprecedented success, while their numerous other activities including the Senior Play and Senior Trip all proved to be memorable occa- sions. All of this class enthusiasm and success would not have been possible without the ceaseless and un- selfish efforts of the Senior Class advisers. Miss Julia Good and Mr. Martin Taglienti were commended for doing such a marvelous job. The many individual achievements, both scho- lastically and athletically made this class an outstand- ing one in every respect. However, these achieve- ments are now a thing of the past and Regional ' s graduates look forward to new and more exciting ex- periences. The success and happiness they enjoy in later life depends a great deal upon the intrinsic wealth they have stored in their four year stay at Re- gional. While the diplomas lay clutched in their ner- vous hands and the benediction blessing was said, the Class of 1963 bowed its head in gratitude and appre- ciation for the opportunities afforded to them by their Alma Mater. 161 THIS IS WHAT WE DID IN OUR SENIOR YEAR ACKER, KEN FFA.
