4 Seniors Excel As Leaders, Scholars And Musicians Neptune High School has prided itself on the achievements of its former and present students for many years. Often, these students are recognized for only a moment and then are forgotten in the annals of the school. We would like to recognize the outstanding merit of four seniors of the class of '86. John Gluckow: Outstanding can be compared to a quote by Emerson which John read: Good and bad are but names very readily transferable to that or this. John added, The only thing that makes someone outstanding is how others ac- cept his or her achievements. Most ev- eryone is outstanding and should be proud of it. As liaison to the State Board of Education, John represented the stu- dents weuf His main goal was to buud school pride. Former Student C0uI1Cil President Kevin Marks was his gr6a'f6St inspiration, although through his Own experiences, John met many new people who contributed to his success. He found that the only difference between others and himself was, as he put it, I use the resources I have, I go after things. If ev- eryone were involved, the school would be a much better place. We wouldn't be able to name students 'outstanding' be- cause everyone would realize the great person he or she is. Tom Robinson: Another outstanding member of the senior class also brought distinction to Neptune High School. Tom's aspirations became reality when , iAbove:,Steve-,Etz prepares alltlie-.paper work to take the S.A.T. to' t ,improve upcfn his almost perfect scored Above Right: Nancy Sumrall, 52 ,V', MonmoutlifCounty Junior Miss, displays' her poise that won her the I f ftiflefifherreceived a savings bondfand a five. hundred dollar scholarship.
