Red Bank Catholic High School - Emerald Yearbook (Red Bank, NJ)

Text from Pages 1 - 162 of the 1963 volume:

PREFACE We, the Class of 1963, eagerly anticipated our senior year with its varied activities so dear to every Casey. The Emerald, our yearbook, ranks high on the list of treasured traditions. Within the pages of this nineteenth volume we have portrayed, through the magic of photography and the artistry of the written word, those never-to-be-forgotten moments. We long to hold on to the happy, carefree hours lived so fully and joyously within the loving walls of RBC, for this has been our “world during these four memorable years. As we step confidently but cautiously into the world of adulthood, we prayerfully place our hopes at the feet of Mary, our Mother. Through her, the “woman clothed with the sun,” we envision a better world, a world of love that moves toward the Heart of Christ.

Your eyes reflect the inner wealth of grace, Your hands reach out to us, O Heaven’s gate. All words and actions serve to prove our worth; Our world is fired with actions, nature’s sign Of inner strength and power while on earth. Are we not lifted up to heights sublime? Each one of us has known the warmth of love, The gay light laughter born of simple things, The countless benedictions from Above Which Christ through you, dear Mary, to us brings. This world, within your power to protect, Is yours to fashion, Heavenly architect. VATICAN COUNCIL II On the feast of the Divine Maternity 1962, Pope John XX111 convoked the twenty-first Ecumenical Council. This historic event marked the beginning of a new era in the life of the Catholic Church. The renewal and reform initiated during the solemn weeks that followed will affect our lives for years to come. How fortunate we are to be even a small part of this noble work! Our prayers and sacrifices united with all Christians will help build a world united in purpose and made strong by fraternal charity. Across the span of years a nostalgic footnote adds a link to the chain of memorable events. The mitre worn by the Holy Father as he opened the Council was a gift to Pope Leo XIII from William II, the Emperor of Germany in the year 1888. His Holiness POPE JOHN XXIII Unitive Spirit for a United World Monsignor Emmett A. Monahan, Diocesan Director of the Propagation of the Faith, and His Excellency George W.

ENGLISH DEPARTMENT An essential portion of every high school curriculum is the many- faceted subject, English. Tests covering grammar, punctuation, and correct usage are admin- istered each month. They serve to give students a comprehensive sum- marization of English. Close to the heart of many in RBC is the traditional One-Act Play contest. Semi-finals pit freshman against sophomore and senior against junior. The two winners from this contest compete in a final round. In this year’s competition the seniors, enacting a murder mystery, “The Silver-Backed Hairbrush,” scored TOO points. The freshmen gained 81 points for their mystery, “End of the Rainbow.” Future journalists and writers are given ample opportunity to express their abilities through the Catholic Daughters Poetry contest and the various essay contests sponsored by surrounding communities. In ad- dition to the regular English program, seniors have Creative Writing as an elective. This course serves to give the student facility in writing both creatively and correctly. Under the auspices of Sister Mary Anina, Department Head, and with the able assistance of Sister Mary Annunciata, Sister Mary Fides, Sister Mary Jeanne d’Arc, Sister Mary Paul, Mrs. June Plager, and Mr. Joseph Hintelmann, every student at RBC has the opportunity to deepen his appreciation of great literary accomplishments and to improve his in- tellectual background. Signpost feature writer Daniel Skelton interviews Sister Mary Anina concerning the results of the February English Department Test on punctuation. “Here he is now . . . help, help!!!,” exclaims J. Gruesome Smith (Nicholas Fugaro) as the murderer (Salvatore D’ Esposito) attacks him in a scene from the senior one-act play, The Mystery of the Silver-Backed Hair Brush. Still life is the subject of a creative writing contest which was sponsored by Mr. Joseph Hintelmann. Seniors Robert Marko and Marilyn Santelle gain inspiration from antique props. Macbeth (Gregory Hillman) and Lady Macbeth (Charlotte Bennett) read excerpts from Shakes- peare’s. famous tragedy. The interested au- dience consists of Joseph Moore, Brian McFadden, Frank Arnone, and Carol Lippert. David Price raises his hands in bewilderment as journalism students Claire Sullivan, Sally Spahn, Thomas Cullen, and Ellen Rose ask for their Times. The New York printers’ strike left seniors without their .paper for several months during the year. HASTE MAKES WASTE! Joyce Rafferty and Jane Ruck on route to mimeograph room are grateful for William Lewandowski’s helping hand. MISPLACED DECIMAL POINT MEANS DISASTER! Lorraine Hasa, Barbara Lay- ton, Linda Lyon, and Patricia Snyder chuckle as they discuss the mistake in the ledger that could have bankrupted RBC. Mr. Francis Balduc, Executive Vice President of the Chamber of Commerce, explains the economic status of Red Bank to Patrick Farmer, Jean McNally and Robert Fleischman. The interview will be given to the economics class. The Business Department meets to tally the results of a recent survey of business graduates. Pausing for the picture are Sister Mary Alma, Department Head, Religion III, Economics, Typewriting, Consumer Mathematics, Business Law, and Business Club; Sister Mary Joel, Religion II, Stenography, Typewriting, Secretarial Training, Introduction to Business Organization, and Actuarri Club; Sister Mary Regina, Religion 1, Type- writing, Spanish; Mr. Joseph Cieri, Religion 111, Record Keeping, Bookkeeping, Typewriting, Golf Coach, Service and Proctors. BUSINESS DEPARTMENT Future secretaries Carol Santelle, Mary Gillette, and Pauline Havens hurry to get programs completed before curtain time for the One-Act Play. Diane Blackburn counts finished copies. To RBC’s Business Department, progress is a key word. A major factor influencing the department is the outstanding growth of business in Monmouth County. As a result of this growth, RBC graduates have an increased number of job opportunities. These range from positions in professional offices to jobs in huge corporations. This year, in accordance with the aim for progress, Red Bank Cath- olic’s Business Department has initiated a Job Analysis Program. Its purpose is to evaluate the adequacy of the department and to determine the steps necessary to maintain its present high standard. A five-year evaluation project is being conducted which will attempt to measure actual in-service employment and the capabilities of graduates. Questionnaires supply the department with information concerning various types of work, the training required, and high school subjects considered most important for business students. The Business Department prepares students to meet the demands of the modern business world. Courses available in the complete program of study are Stenography I and II; Typewriting I and II; Bookkeeping; Business Law; Spanish I and II; Record Keeping; Business English; Gen- eral Business; Consumer Mathematics; and newly-added Economics. In addition to this, The Business Education Club, under the guidance of Sister Mary Alma, provides interested students with the opportunity of gaining knowledge from local business personnel. This aids students in selecting jobs for which they are best qualified. Business Law students plan a trip to Free- hold Court House. Phyllis Labrecque pays her fare to Demarest Newman and Kathleen O’Connell marks her paid.

Geraldine Chierchio, and Nancy Clooney as Denis Wildanger explains the various angles. In today’s world of wonders and discov- eries, the word mathematics implies ever- broadening horizons. Now, more than ever before, the knowledge of math is essential to people in all walks of life. Recognizing this need RBC’s Mathematics Department aims to bring the most up-to- date views of this ever-changing subject to all its students. In addition to the wide variety of sub- jects offered in previous years, the De- partment’s schedule has taken on a “new look.’’ Courses in Modern Algebra and Modern Geometry, presented with the latest textbooks and methods of teaching, have been introduced. Included in the college preparatory courses are Algebra I, Plane Geometry, Algebra II, Trigonometry and Advanced Mathematics. Caseys fol- lowing a business or a general education course are offered a study of Essentials in Mathematics and Statistics. This year selected senior students par- ticipated in the annual high school mathematics contest sponsored by The Mathematical Association of America and The Society of Actuaries. Juniors also par- ticipated in the annual State University Mathematics Day Competition. With all these opportunities, RBC graduates are able to pursue their particu- lar vocations with a well-rounded back- ground in mathematics. Jean Warrack, Paul Schissfer, Kathleen Maitland, Bonnelynn Nortz, Lorraine Hoos, and Thomas Flynn divert their attention from algebra long enough to give our Casey cameraman a big smile. 15 Parish priests to whom we are deeply indebted—Monsignor Emmett A. Monahan, Pastor and Administrator; Father William C. Anderson, Father Florian Gall, and Father Richard A. Leadem. An important objective of Red Bank Catholic High School is the development of spiritually vigorous Catholics. Religion is not regarded simply as a sub- ject to be learned, but rather a way of life which is the very heart and center of our whole program. As the Holy Sacrifice is the center of the day at RBC, students join together to share the benefits of Holy Mass on their assigned morning. In addition to the religious training received from their homeroom teachers, students at RBC are fortu- nate to have the direction of five diocesan priests. Reverend Florian Gall and Reverend James J. Mc- Connell instruct the freshmen in the Creative Love of God the Father. Reverend Richard A. Leadem teaches sophomores the meaning of the Mass. After a course with Father Dominic A. Turtora, the juniors know the importance of the Indwelling Spirit in their daily lives. As the senior looks at life more seriously, he is enlightened through Reverend William J. Bausch’s instruction on the Sacrament of Matrimony. In seeking to develop vocationally prepared Catho- lics, RBC has equipped itself with an efficient guidance program. This year the guidance program is under the direction of Sister Mary Gertrude. Before coming to Red Bank Catholic, Sister was Assistant Mother General of the Sisters of Mercy of North Plainfield. The former library is now used for expansive guidance offices. As Sister can devote her time solely to guidance, she is able to give more time for private direction and counseling. Through the direction of both religion and guid- ance instructors. RBC fulfills its objective—to educate the “Whole Man.” Our Religion teachers—Father John McConnell, Saint Dorothea Parish; Father Anthony Turtora, Saint Anthony Parish; and Father William Bausch, Saint Joseph Parish. Wagner, Vocation Director of Trenton aks to the student body regarding the need or religious vocations. First Friday Holy Hour gives senior altar boys Jacob Bloom, Edward Sulkowski, and Kevin Murphy an opportunity to serve Benediction. Sister Mary Gertrude, Guidance Director, distributes folders from the Scientific Research Association Information Kit to Diane Blackburn and Kathleen O’Connell to help them choose their future career.

An annual activity of the Modern Language Department is a French Christmas Play. This year in “Le Moindre d’ Entre Eux” William Rich, a humble shoemaker, is visited by the Holy Family, portrayed by John Hennessy and Marianne Campbell. LANGUAGE DEPARTMENT The first time man used crude sounds to express his ideas, language was born. Since that time, many languages have grown and developed. Through this great achievement, civilization continues its progress. With progression in mind, the study of language becomes an integral part of our curriculum. Since Latin is the parent of the Romance languages, it holds a primary position as the basic foundation for the study of French, German, and Spanish. Accordingly, a four-year course in Latin is offered, ranging from the rules of grammar to Cicero’s orations. Latin students have merited reward for their study by earning the Auxilium Latinium Trophy for three straight years. In addition to acquiring a facility in writing the language, the student also becomes familiar with the people and the customs of the country. Practical application is achieved through various activities which promote communication. These include a French Club under the direction of Sister Mary Loretto. Open to all third year students Le Cercle Francais presented “Le Moindre d’Entre Eux” in December. The entire dialogue of this Christmas play was in French. With the introduction of the department tests in the languages, an evaluation of the advancement and proficiency of each class is made possible. 18 iiumf Sandra Heberer leads Daniel Skelton and Judith Hyland in a Latin convivial theme song taken from the Middle Ages. Influenced by a touch of Old Mexico, James Kelly and Eileen Clossey portray the native dress of the Mexican people.

Biology cut-ups Patricia McConnell and Nicholas Fugaro are busy dissec- ting a frog, James Monahan checks with the organ illustration in the text. SCIENCE DEPARTMENT Although the study of science dates back as far as ancient Egypt and Babylonia, it is more important today in our modern world than ever be- fore. Science is a gateway to knowledge and progress and through the program offered at RBC, students are given the opportunity to explore its fascinating roads. Stressing the need for a solid foundation, the program requires every student to take General Science and Biology. For those wishing to further their scientific education, RBC offers physical science, chemistry, and physics. Students this year are the first to enjoy the new laboratories for physics and biology; the new chemistry lab was added last year. In conjunction with the work of the science department, various activities are available to the students. These present further challenge and provide additional information in the realm of science. Representatives of the various scientific fields are invited to speak to the student body. Among these were Mr. Harmon Smith of the Atomic Energy Commission in Oak Ridge, Tennessee; Mr. Donald Blake from the Linde Company of Union Carbide, who discussed the role of cryogenics in modern tech- nology; Mr. David Schindler, a Rhodes scholar, with his degree in Zoology, told the sophomores some interesting facts about Water Biology and energy cycles in an aquate food chain. The annual Science Fair provides a means for the student to display individual achievement. In order to measure the progress and ability of RBC’s science students, tests are administered and competitive examinations are also sponsored by the New Jersey Catholic Round Table of Science, the New Jersey Science Teachers’ Association, and the National Science Foundation. Physics students Joseph Perry, James Monahan, John Rice, and George Scrivani visit Red Bank Airport as the guest of Mr. Walter R. Lauden- slager, owner and manager, who proudly displays the '63 Piper Commanche. 21 SOCIAL STUDIES DEPARTMENT On Student Leadership Day, Kevin Murphy points out the character- istics of a medieval sword to Richard Gough, Carol Occhiogrosso, William Kelly, and Karon McMahon. The Social Studies program at RBC aims to make students ' aware of man’s institutions, struggles, and accomplishments, j Consequently, a student studies history not only for its own i sake, but for future applications as well. The foundation of this knowledge is laid in freshman year ’ through the study of World History. Here the student learns 1 the story of ancient man and traces the evolution of Western i Civilization. Correlating with this study is World Geography j which relates man’s environment to the effects on civilization. ] The history of our country from colonization to the New Deal j is studied during junior year in United States History I. Finally, in senior year the functions of our government and the problems of democracy are stressed through United States History II. In addition to the required courses, Current Civilization is offered to seniors interested in the political, social, and economic affairs of today. The “textbook” for this course is Newsweek magazine. Senior history students supplement their text with the New York Times and various periodicals. The scope of the courses extends outside the classroom through various projects, including a freshman “History Bee,” a trip to the Metropolitan Museum of Art to see Mona Lisa, and a comprehensive study by the seniors of both Communism and our two major political parties. Under the direction of Sister Mary Vincent, Department Head, a new testing program became effective this year. Bi-monthly tests were adminis- tered to all students. These tests included general knowl- edge of historical events and personality “profiles.” “He’s got the whole world in his hands.” James Desmond gives World Geography students Ellen Rose, Sally Spahn, David Price, Janet Grandinettl, and Mary Hochreiter a guided tour of our present day world by way of their imagination.

Pictured with Mr. John Giampietro before a football game are senior members of the band, Claire Rennick, Kathleen McKenna, Paulette Wall, Robert Marko, Judith Sanders, Sally Spahn, Adeline Schmidt, and Gabrielle Sardo. 24 MUSIC DEPARTMENT Through the music program at Red Bank Catholic, many talented students are given the opportunity to express themselves to an appreciative audience. The two musical organizations are the Glee Club, under the direction of Sister Mary Virgine and Dr. Jeno Donath, and the Band, under the direction of Mr. John Giampietro. Under the skillful guidance of our new instructor, the band had reached new heights of achievement. Whether sparking spectators at football games, marching in parades, or playing at assemblies, the band gives a creditable performance. This year Mr. Giampietro formed the Dance Band, an offspring of the regular RBC band, which provides music for school dances. Following Red Bank Catholic’s tradition, the Glee Club entertained Christmas shoppers at Steinbach’s Department Store in Red Bank. They also added to the holiday spirit by caroling through the halls of RBC during the Christmas Novena. On Sunday, December 1 6, the Glee Club and Band sponsored the annual Music Festival. The Glee Club sang “By Strauss,” “Black Is The Color of My True Love’s Hair,” and selections from Flower Drum Song, West Side Story, and Wildcat. In keeping with the season, they also presented “Star of Bethlehem,” “Adoration of the Magi,” and “Little Drummer Boy.” The school band played “White Christmas,” “Bobby Sox Suite” and “Blue Tail Fly.” The dance band presented “I Found a New Baby” and “Somebody’s Knockin’.” In addition to its other activities, this year the band also participated in our play, “The Music Man.” The finale included RBC’s band playing “Seventy-Six Trombones.” .1 A } The euphoneous voices of the senior Glee Club members ring through the foyer of Steinbach’s Department Store, Red Bank, to convey the yuletide spirit. STOP THE MUSIC! Glee Club instructors, Sister Mary Virgine, Dr. Jeno Donath, and Mr. Robert Hebble pause for a picture during rehearsal.

See our school nurses Mrs. Elizabeth Mendres, Mrs. Mary Raftery, and Miss Mary C. Kelly. They’re always there to serve. Here they pose for a picture with Mrs. Evelyn Russo, Girls’ Physical Education Instructor. One of the objectives of Red Bank Catholic High School is to develop “a sound mind in a sound body.” The Physical Education Department, under the direction of Mr. Albert Forte, fulfills this need. This year was essentially one of rebuilding in the Department. In addition to Mrs. Evelyn Russo, girls’ physical education instructor and Mr. Forte, boys’ instructor, the staff now includes three new members. As faculty moderator of athletics, Mr. Joseph Colao assists Reverend Richard A. Leadem in his work as Athletic Director. Mr. Philip Catanzaro and Mr. Martin Zittel assist Mr. Forte in instructing the boys’ gym classes. Mr. Zittel joined the faculty in March, taking Mr. Fiore’s place. During the winter all classes are held in the gym, but fair weather finds all students outside participating in an active program of sports. Every student also has a course in the basic fundamentals of daily health. Mrs. Evelyn Russo teaches the girls; Mr. Forte, Mr. Catanzaro, and Mr. Zittel instruct the boys. During the year, physical examinations are administered by Dr. Edward Mulligan and dental check-ups are given by Dr. Thomas P. Hyland and Dr. Donald C. Seuffert. The school nurses, Mrs. Elizabeth Mendres, Mrs. Mary Raftery and Miss Mary C. Kelly, assist the doctors during these annual check-ups. They are also on hand to give nursing care to any student who needs it during the school day. Through the efforts and guidance of the members of the Physical Education Depart- ment, another aim of Catholic Education is achieved—the development of physically-fit Catholics. Senior girls in gym class demonstrate S-T-R-E-T-C-H ability. MEET THE ATHLETIC DEPARTMENT! Reverend Richard A. Leadem, Athletic Director; Mr. Joseph Colao, Basketball, Track, Assistant Football Coach, Faculty Manager of Athletics; Mr. Albert Forte, Football, Baseball, and Freshman Basketball Coach; Mr. Joseph Cieri, Golf Coach; Mr. Philip Catanzaro, Wrestling, Assistant Football and Baseball Coach; Mr. Theodore Fiore, Assistant Baseball and Basketball Coach; Mr. John Dondero, Freshman Football, Assistant Track Coach. On December 21, if spirit had anything to do with the Senior-Faculty game, it would have been a tie. Mr. John Dondero leads the charge of the victorious Faculty All-Stars. Junior Varsity cheerleaders give enthusiastic support to the Faculty. “Open wide, says Doctor William Hyland to James Langan.

To warn the Varsity cheerleaders of impending doom, a Rumson “Bulldog’' visits RBC’s last pep rally of the football season. Suspecting a trick, the girls laughingly expose our own Michael “Huey Flynn. 27 -r A World Fired With Action Through its well-rounded athletic program RBC strives to develop the “whole man. By participating in various sports, students are taught through their victories and defeats teamwork and leadership. Hampered by inexperience, injuries, and tough schedules RBC’s football and basketball squads had losing seasons. The football team finished with a 3-5 record. One of their games they lost by one touchdown; another, by one point. Coach Joe Colao’s first year as basketball coach was a rough one. With almost the entire team composed of underclassmen, a very rugged schedule, and a foot injury which sidelined Paul Schissler, the Caseys finished with a 2-16 record. Of all the Caseys’ opponents only Red Bank had a sub-par season and the Caseys defeated the Bucs twice 53-35 and 68-54 for their 2 wins. Wrestling was better. The team, coached by Phil Catanzaro, wound up their schedule with a 4-5 mark. Seniors Pat Collum, Jack Kelly and Tom Flynn led the team as all three posted fine records. The spring sports outlook appeared much brighter although the teams are composed of mostly underclassmen. The baseball team looked forward to another fine season with All- State first baseman Sal D’Esposito, pitcher Ed Lenorth and seme good players from last year’s J.V.’s leading the way. For the first time since 1952 the Caseys had an official track team. Tom Lalli excelled in the 100 yard dash, the 220, and the broad jump. Tom Flynn showed great ability in the discus throwing. A great many talented underclassmen made the future outJ« k bright. The sports program concluded with golf wd tennis coached by Mr. Joseph Cieri and Mr. Allan MacDonald respectively. Both coaches are optimistic about their teams. As we leave RBC, the traits that have been eveloped as a result oj our participation in sports, will be a great asset to'fts. Leadership cot with united action will be our key to a successful «morrow. £ Through its well-rounded athletic program RBC strives to develop the whole” man.

With an inexperienced team and only seven seniors on the entire squad, Red Bank Catholic’s football team finished with a 3-5 record. However, the Caseys played fine football and only bad breaks prevented a winning season. Once again the team attended football camp at the Farmers and Gardeners’ Co-operative Association in Everett. Coaches Al Forte, Joe Colao, and Phil Catanzaro put the team through vigorous work- outs for the eight days. After losing the first three games—19-0 to Red Bank, the Shore Conference A Champions; 13-7 to Sayreville; and 21-0 to Seton Hall, the North Jersey Parochial A Champions—the Caseys came back to win three of the next five games. Before the Holy Cross contest, Coach Forte switched Tom Lalli from quarterback to halfback, and Pete Stirnweiss moved into quarterback position. Stirnweiss led the Caseys to a 33-0 victory; he scored three touchdowns, passed for two others, and kicked two extra points. The Caseys followed this with a 26-7 romp over Toms River. Against undefeated South Plainfield, RBC dropped a heart- breaking 14-13 decision. Stirnweiss scored all the points for the Caseys. The next contest, against Saint Peter’s, New Brunswick, saw Lalti break the school individual scoring record with four touchdowns and an extra point as the Caseys were victorious, 33-0. In the final game of the season, the Caseys were the victims of a 13-7 upset loss to a fired-up Rumson-Fair Haven Regional squad. Stirnweiss and Lalli led the Casey scoring with 48 and 38 points respectively. Lalli led the team in rushing, with better than seven yards a carry. In addition to Lalli and Stirnweiss, center Jim Kelly, end Paul Schissler, and tackle Ernie Mason won honors from various papers for their fine performance this year. Informal pep rallies highlighted the football season. After each game, the band, cheerleaders, twirlers, color guard, and students returned to the schoolyard to welcome and cheer the team.

M .'1 A World Gay With Laughter Just as Professor Harold Hill brought the lights, the flags, and the cofors to River City, Iowa, so too the “Music Man arrived at RBC with an aura of expectation. From the first moment, the magic of its excite- ment became part of all of us. The tryouts, rehearsals, dance practices, all the hours we spent perfecting it flashed by us, and we were all swept into the current of activity surrounding “the play.” Stagehands and scenery crew, as well as those who appeared before the spotlight, co- operated to achieve a successful production. Finally the “big moment” arrived . . . the one we had so long awaited. The orchestra warmed up and then broke into the overture as last minute directions were whispered back stage. The opening curtain, the foot- lights illuminating the stage—and then began the nineteenth annua! production at Red Bank Catholic! We captured each audience, removing them from the present and transporting them to a small Iowan town at the turn of the century. Its success served as a hard-earned reward for the long hours spent in re- hearsal and as an incentive for us to put our best into each moment of the show. As the school band played the final strains of “Seventy-Six Trom- bones. each Casey thrilled to its magic spell. The faces of Harold Hill, Marion, Winthrop, and the others have all faded into oblivion but the “Music Man will remain in our hearts forever. THE MUSIC MAN” Traveling Salesmen . Newspapermen .

The success of our School Play was the work of many Caseys! The sale of ads, boosters, and tickets along with the artistic and skillful hands of the backstage crew echo the memory of The Music Man. It’s dress rehearsal day at RBC. A World Warm With Love K, r' Later, when we look back on our high school days, the memories which we gather will be as vivid then as they are now! Highlighting them will be the happiness and fun we enjoyed through our social activities. We have grown closer as a class and now . . . senior year . . . we begin the final moments of what will soon be a precious memory. Over seven hundred fun-loving Caseys attended the first social event of the year—the Student Council Kick-Off Dance. Following this the Junior Class sponsored the annual Thanksgiving Dance. This year the cafeteria depicted a gay French Avenue. The dance was appropriately named “An Evening In Paris.” The seniors rounded out the year with the traditional Snowball held on December 29. The “Country Classics” provided many unforgettable moments. The focal point of each of these dances was the selection of a king and queen to reign during the evening. Royalty was also chosen at the Student Council Valentine Dance, “With a Song In My Heart.” The procedure was somewhat different, however, as votes were cast not for individuals but for their song. Not to be forgotten are the many other social events which took place during the year. The Sodality’s “Friendship 7,” the CYO’s Halloween dance, “Monster Mash,” the numerous record hops, the Freshman-Sophomore Hop—all these contributed to making the year a social success. The social climax of our four years at RBC begins with the prepara- tions for the Senior Prom. Under the direction of Mrs. Hibbard Christian, homeroom representatives and social chairmen planned the final dance of 1963. The Deal Country Club, gaily bedecked for this, the high point of our high school social life, echoed with the laughter of delighted Caseys. The final strains of music slowly fade but we know they will echo in our hearts as a reminder of the Class of ’63. 1 •- ■ . THANKSGIVING DANCE CASTING THEIR BALLOTS . . .

A World Without Walls Our “after-school world’’ is punctured by the staccato of typewriters, pounding out the last lines of copy for the Emerald. Students rushing to a Business Club meeting tiptoe past Room 406 so as not to disturb the students taping their speeches for Forensic. The halls are silent except for the clatter of a lone student rushing to a Future Teacher’s meeting. Signpost and Gleeman editors, weighing the pros and cons of new ideas, rush to make the inevitable deadline. In addition to these major activities, there are many other organizations to interest the student, ranging from chess to ham radios. AH these serve to cultivate the talent of the in- dividual student. Another aspect of our growth is our spiritual develop- ment. This aim is accomplished through Red Bank Catholic’s Mass program, Sodality, Holy Hour, and annual retreat. We are now ready to leave RBC. As we stand on the threshold of our adult lives, let us carry within the “walls” of our hearts both the joy and experience we have gained as a result of our “after-school life.” Front Row: Paul Schissler, President; Brian McFadden, Assembly Chairman; Margaret Garvey, Social Chairman; Claire Rocco, Social Welfare Chairman; Charlotte Bennett, Spiritual Chairman; Audrey Crisped, Secretary; Robert Fleischman, Athletic Chairman; Paul Peduto, Junior Class President, Second Row: James lazzetta, Mission Crusade Chairman; Ernest Forcino, Freshman Class President; Mary Christian, Club Chairman; Carol Occhiogrosso, Bulletin Board Chairman; Andrea Jeremy, Scholastic Chairman; Richard Nortz, Treasurer; Charles Dowd, Sophomore Class President.

STUDENT COUNCIL The Council's main activity of the year, Project Youth, took place in November. This year’s theme, Renaissance RBC,’’ voiced the Council's desire to renew the original spirit of this unique project, whose ideal is the realization of the individual’s responsibility as a leader and as a follower. The official prayer of the Project is the Act of Consecra- tion to Christ the Leader. Highlighting the month’s calendar were many eventful days. On Catholic Youth Sunday students attended a Holy Hour in Saint James Church. On Student Leadership Day, the Caseys took the reins of the school. About one hundred-fifty students were given an opportunity to prove their leadership as student teachers and as holders of administrative posts. Other events sponsored by the Council during the year included a series of pep rallies, Open House, Teacher Appreciation Day, and a Dialogue Mass of Thanksgiving. As a member of the New Jersey Association of High School Student Councils, RBC sent represent- atives to a conference at Rutgers University. The group was accompanied by their guest, Franco Rubattu, our exchange student from Italy. Paul Schissler participated as a speaker in one of the discussion groups. In cooperation with the Monmouth County Association of Student Councils, our Council took part in an exchange program with Henry Hudson Regional High School. Donald Fitzpatrick, Sally Spahn, Eugenia Parron, Carol Wasko, and Anthony Delsardo were the delegates from RBC. All too soon the Council's final tasks arrived. Seniors made a Day of Recollection. Finally the Council presented the Activities Day program, honoring the many students whose efforts and successes in all fields of school life have enabled the student body to live its Act of Consecration to Christ the Leader. RBC Teacher Appreciation Day!! Robert Fleischman, Claire Rocco, and Mary Christian chuckle when Brian McFadden reminds them, “These apples are for the teachers—not you! 70 In the art of detecting inter-classroom talkers, Thomas Lalli instructs fellow proctors, Philip Apruzzi, Donald Smith, John Moller, Robert Vazquez, John Rice, and Kevin Murphy. Nicholas Fugaro encourages Caseys to consider the qualifications of all the candidates objectively before voting in the Student Council elections. Carol Occhiogrosso works with a com- mittee throughout the year to keep our bulletin boards up to date. Thomas Lalli, Robert Fleischman, Margaret Garvey, and Claire Rocco are setting up the traditional crib scene in the foyer. Student Council members surrounded by the Glee Club place the Christ Child in the crib each day during the week preceding Christmas.

The sodality is not just another club; it is a way of life. Because they have an intense love for our Blessed Mother and desire to work to- ward perfection, Sodalists want to do something above and beyond the ordinary. They accomplish this through membership in this organization. They bind themselves to certain spiritual exercises. In return for their devotion they receive many extra blessings. One who belongs to this society is not a self-centered individual. Through the Apostolate, he helps the community in performing acts of mercy. In this way he emulates the charity and humility of Our Lady. Truly it is the perfect foundation on which to build a Better World Through Mary. Sodalists begin their year with installation of officers in early Septem- ber. Father William C. Anderson officiates at the ceremony. Father Florian J. Gall explains evaluation sheets to freshman boys. These evaluation sheets list the duties of a Sodalist. RED BANK CATHOLIC HONOR TO YOU . . .

FORENSIC CLUB Acknowledgment of speech as a gift of God and awareness of the impact of words as weapons for truth are the principles of Red Bank Catholic’s Forensic Club. Accordingly, members are offered the means to develop their individual abilities in debating, original oratory, declamation, dramatics, and extempo- raneous speaking. One of the most unique aspects of the Club is its program of parent participation. Instructions in judging speech events are given to interested parents. They in turn serve as judges and provide transportation for the members. Parents who take part consider the program enjoyable and worth- while, and their services are regarded as an invaluable aid to the Club. True to tradition, the Club offered this year’s members a full schedule of speech activities. Highlights in the calendar included a contest at Temple University and the Bishop’s Tournament. Winners in the district and state finals will carry RBC’s colors to the National finals. Early in the year Caseys earned three trophies at the Speech Festival in Long Branch. During a three-month period of highly competitive inter-scholastic debates, the Casey team traveled to Georgetown University, Washington, D. C.; New York University; Saint Joseph’s College, Pennsylvania; and Holy Cross College, Massachusetts. From these opportunities and successes, members of Red Bank Catholic’s Forensic Club learn to speak with words of truth, the words of God.

I m Signpost typists Phyllis Labrecque and Nancy Steffen stop to enjoy one of the quips from the latest issue of the paper. THE SIGNPOST The Signpost is one of the literary high points of Casey life. Now in its nineteenth year, this publication continues to be an outstanding high school newspaper. The Signpost is the written word of the entire student body. Sister Mary Anina is moderator of the Signpost assisted by Mr. Joseph Hintelmann. The staff, which edits six issues yearly, reports the news of the school and expresses its opinions on the editorial page. Gathering the news, however, is only the beginning. To the four editors falls the difficult task of preparing the copy for the printers, pasting and fitting the galley sheets, and proofreading the final copy. The Business Department contributes its share by typing the stories and distributing more than 2800 copies. Hard work is repaid, however, by the many awards the Signpost has consistently received. It has merited the Quill and Scroll International First Place Award, All-Catholic rating from the Catholic Press Association, and First Class rating from the National Scholastic Press Association. Mr. Joseph Hintelmann proofreads Thomas Imerito’s week- ly column which is published in the School News section of the Asbury Park Evening Press. RBC plays host to Sister Mary Ancilla, O.S.F. and representatives Geraldine Flynn, Sue Fabian, and Nancy Jorgensen of Mater Dei High School.

Reverend Eugene R. Scheg and Reverend William H. McGuire of the Oblates of Mary Immaculate conducted this year’s retreat. Each day begins with Mass; there were three conferences, spiritual reading, confessions, and bene- diction. Both priests were available for private talks and instructions. During these days of special prayer many found the necessary help needed to decide upon their life’s vocation. The conferring of the Papal Blessing climaxed the retreat. “Behold the Lamb of God.

THE GLEEMAN RED BANK CATHOLIC HIGH SCHOOL Red Bank, New Jersey VOLUME IV Following the tradition of the gleeman, the herald of medieval English literature, the Gleeman of RBC strives to sing its happy song. Uniting the real with the imaginary, the magazine aims to entertain through the use of the short stories, poems, and informal essays. The material for the publication is contributed by the students in the school while the final decision in editing is left to the staff. Working under the guidance of Sister Mary Fides and Sister Mary Paul, the literary staff assumes the responsibility of sifting through the submitted material and choosing the best articles. Susan Shelley, editor, heads this particular group. When the final selections are made, the art staff, with Patricia Monahan as editor, complements them with appropriate illustrations. The final step in the production is the preparation of the “dummy.” Both staffs collaborate during the year in order to correlate their work. The theme of the 1963 Gleeman is the Cultural Arts as developed, enjoyed and expressed by the students of RBC. The center page is devoted to the various activities—orator- ical, dramatic, journalistic, and musical. Through this theme the spirit and principles of the gleeman of old are brought into the Gleeman of Red Bank Catholic. Diane Fasano proofreads copy before the Gleeman’s first deadline. Sister Mary Paul and Ann O’Connor discuss the page layouts for this year’s publication.

It’s moving day for the library! John Sidwa, Robert Rug- gerio, Salvatore D’Esposito, and Nicholas Fugaro never realized how many books RBC owned until they had to carry more than six-thousand of them when the library was moved into the new building. OUR NEW LIBRARY Students returning to school this September noticed some major improvements at RBC. Outstanding among these was the new library, now located next door to the school. This was formerly a seven-room house belonging to the Sloyan family. It is furnished with new stacks, a vertical file, a card index file, a new charging desk, and student tables and chairs in aqua and coral formica. Mrs. Marjorie Akers is librarian, while Sister Mary Vincent is the library’s faculty adviser. The Library Club, a group of students interested in library work, is moderated by Sister Mary Devota. As the school expands its course of study and enrollment, the library must be ready to meet its needs. There are now 6,000 volumes in the library. Six hundred of these are reference books. A total of seven hundred fifty volumes were purchased this year. In years to come we can be sure that RBC’s library will continue to grow to meet the needs of more demanding courses and fields of interest. Charles Dowd, Paul Peduto, and Ernest Forcino take advantage of the facilities offered to them in the spacious, modern fiction room of the new library. Paulette Wall, president of the Library Club, ar- ranges the latest editions on the periodical rack. Early in October the RBC library held an “Open House” and Patricia Moran, Susan Condon, and Dorothy Boyle came to browse. In conjunction with National Education Week held in November, RBC sponsored an open house. Paul Schissler greets Mrs. John McConnell, Mrs. John Lennen, Mrs. Anthony Manfredi, Mrs. Norval Beeson, Mrs. James McGough, Mrs. Joseph Mendres, and Mrs. Fred Acerra. Thomas Lalli and James Kelly portray astronauts Grissom and Glenn at an assembly on October 25. They assist Mr. Harmon Smith, of the Atomic Energy Commission while he explains the use of atomic energy in space flight. The Linde Corporation representative, Mr. Donald Blake, demonstrates the different uses of a valuable new science. Cryogenics. Interested seniors watch Edward Minn prove one of the experiments.

Here preserved forever, are the familiar faces, which will have faded into the mist of memories. We will see before us the varied activities we participated in, reliving with each picture the joy and pleasure of those days that slipped by all too quickly. As we gaze at each page recalling famous incidents of our high school lives, we can’t help but remember all the work that made such a treasure possible. Work on the Emerald begins each year early in September. Staff members work under the experienced guidance of Sister Mary Jeanne d’ Arc, who has been moderator for ten years. Last year’s Emerald was one of ten yearbooks judged as a Yearbook of Distinction in a national contest and for the past three years has received the Medalist award from the Columbia Press Association. It also received the rating of All-Catholic from the Catholic Scholastic Press Association. Wednesday, Emerald Day, begins with Mass to pray for the success of the yearbook. At dismissal room 306 comes alive with the chatter of busy members as the afternoon meeting is called to order. As the year progressed and the work becomes more involved with planning layouts and candid days, writing copy and captions, every day becomes Emerald Day. After the book has gone to the printer there are still “miles” of sentences to be proofread when the dummy comes back. Finally the last line is double-checked and the book is on its way to the final stage. Soon after, the finished product is placed in the hands of the anxious seniors. Though the work may be demanding the staff members know they are ac- complishing something very important. The years will fly by and our classmates will go their separate ways, but the Emerald will remain as a silent reminder of the carefree days, close friendships, and cherished memories. Patricia Moran, Joseph Chapski, and Carol Lippert check the page layouts with the galley sheet before planning their section. A Sunday candid day finds Eileen Maloney, Judith Geiger, Judith Fiasconaro, and Bonnelyn Nortz lunching at nearby Ludwig’s. 95 A World Filled With Hope During our four years of high school we have found Red Bank Catholic a sphere of varied interests ... a small-scale world apart from the complexities of the “outside” world of modern society. We have been sheltered but prepared for the step we will soon take into this world. Our world has been . . . FIRED WITH ACTION Our activities have taught us the value of united action coupled with competitive spirit. GAY WITH LAUGHTER The gay and happy hours we enjoyed have stored our minds with memories to treasure. WARM WITH LOVE Our high school lives have prepared us to meet the challenge of the gospel, “Love thy neighbor as thyself.” WITHOUT WALLS We are aware of the existence of walls outside our own sphere, but no wall is unsurmountable. The knowledge we have gained will serve as a foothold in overcoming any barrier in our quest for happiness. Now we are ready to embark on life’s journey. It is our hope that each one of us will carry in our hearts the world that shines forth with the idealism of our youthful dreams . . . dreams that have their origin in love and devotion to Mary, our Mother.

JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY On hAarch 5, I960, the day of our entrance exam, we received our first ,i glimpse of Red Bank Catholic High School. The following September found three ' ■ hundred eight students in our freshman class. The newly-opened Cabrinl House ' accommodated four of our seven homerooms. Our school year officially began with the election of William Kane as fresh- ! man class president. As the year progressed, we presented our talent show on 1 November 16, with a theme centering around famous celebrities. Following this, '] John Haring was the first freshman to represent RBC in the newly-inaugurated student exchange program as he journeyed to St. Rose High School in' Belmar. | Displaying typical freshman enthusiasm, homeroom 9A was the first class to reach its quota in the annual magazine drive. In addition to the regular subjects I offered to freshmen, French I was also added to our curriculum. In the beginning of sophomore year we elected Dennis Howlett to represent our class on the Student Council as class president. On December 19, we pre- sented a French Christmas Play entitled “Les Sabots du Petit Albert.” This year Maureen Maguire was chosen to represent RBC as an exchange student to Wall Township High School. Extra-curricular activities found Robert Santaloci serving his second year as a Forensic varsity debater, while a large percentage of the staff ! of the Gleeman was composed of members of our class. Our athletic efforts were rewarded by a J.V. football record of 3 wins and 2 losses and a J.V. basketball record of 1 3 wins and 7 losses. Junior year opened with class presidential elections. Paul Peduto assumed the responsibility as our president. This year the editorship of the Gleeman was bestowed upon Susan Shelley, while Stephen Walters serves as sports editor of the Signpost. Three juniors also hold offices in the Forensic dub. This year two juniors had leading roles in the play, ‘‘The Music Man.” Judy Jensen starred in the leading role; while John Grewen had another main lead as Mayor Shinn. Other members of the supporting cast included Richard Cook, Thomas Imerito, Maureen Maguire, William McGrath, and Anne O’Connor. Ath- letes Richard Buckalew, David Fitzgerald, Ernest Mason, Paul Peduto, Thomas Petraitis, and George Stirnweiss each played an important role in the Casey sports season for 1962-63, Our class boasts a foreign representative who is studying in Belgium—Hilda Van Stappen. The past three years have been an excellent preparation for next year when we shall assume the duties and responsibilities of senior year.

Like all other freshmen we, too, wondered just what lay in store for us here at RBC. Now that we are at the half-way mark we can look back upon our progress as the largest frosh class in the school's history. Our first “official” act as freshmen was to elect Douglas Hillman freshman president. In the Signpost drive we went fifteen percent over our class quota, and one of our homerooms was highest in securing ads for the play. Also, as freshmen, we participated in the first “History Bee” held at RBC. At the annual Science Fair, several freshmen copped prizes in the General Science division. Patricia Maloney was the first frosh in the history of RBC to attain two hundred fifty points in Forensic. In the National High School Poetry Association, Lynn Westerfield captured prizes for her two entries. On the sports scene, the freshmen did admirably. In basketball the team ended the season with a 12-3 record. Many frosh took part in the track and wrestling teams. Perhaps our most successful achievement as freshmen was that our class play, “Double Date,” defeated the senior production, “Hurricane Hill” in the one-act play finals. After the swift summer days, we were back in school as sophomores. In September we elected Charles Dowd class president. Following our previous year’s record,, we boasted the three highest salesmen in the Signpost drive. In football, the J.V. team had a 2-1-1 record. Margaret McCue’s artistic talents were evidenced on three of this year’s original beat cards. In basketball, the J.V. team, ably staffed with sophs, compiled an impressive record of 10-4. Looking back on these accomplishments we are grateful for our opportunity here at RBC, and we are looking forward to the challenges our junior and senior year will offer us.

FRESHMAN CLASS HISTORY Our first taste of high school life actually began on March 4, 1962 when we took our entrance exams. Then, on September 5, 1962, two hundred sixty freshmen crossed the threshold of a new and exciting adventure. Sister Mary welcomed us and then introduced us to our homeroom and subject teachers. The next day we were lost in a maze of unfamiliar faces and in the confusing routine, we were soon swept into the activities of RBC. The first of these gave us the opportunity to participate in student govern- ment. This began with the election of homeroom officers and was followed by the election of Ernest Forcino as Freshman Class president. As freshmen, we are also encouraged to participate in the extra-curricular program. Although we are only beginners, we have already achieved success in this field. Forensic member Joanne McQueeney won a trophy in Freshman Oratory at the Long Branch Speech Festival on November 19. Twenty freshmen were among those receiving their membership in the National Forensic League. Dramatically, we showed potential by making the finals of the famed One-Act Play competition. Our play “End of the Rainbow,’’ was defeated by the senior class presentation, “Silver-backed Hairbrush.” In the field of athletics, the frosh had a winning football season with two wins, two losses, and one tie. Our basketball team posted a seven-six record. Finally, our class presented three assemblies. Under the guidance of Sister Mary Paul, 9B gave an Advent presentation on November 30. Then, on January 21, the freshman class presented a talent show. Michael Tornberg was master of ceremonies for an imaginary evening at the ski resort, “Holiday Inn.” Featured performers included Marguerite Fernandez, Anthony Delsardo, and Mary Louise Smith. And on March 8, the girls defeated the boys in the “History Bee” with a score of 30-22. In June, as we are assigned our new homerooms for sophomore year, we can realize we have three more years—three additional years to learn our lessons in scholarship, sportsmanship, leadership, and in spiritual development.
