MATHEMATICS DEPARTMENT In geometry class the wheels of knowledge spin for Michael Flynn, William Lewandowski,. 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.
