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

Text from Pages 1 - 202 of the 1976 volume:

0 Beginning a typical day, Jane Doe (Lisa Tollinger) gets off the well-known yellow vehicle with a sigh of relief. I ime has given us ourselves; let us give ourselves back to time. Two hundred years ago the United States was an idea, a fight for freedom. One hundred years ago the United States was a nation of people demonstrating that freedom by electing their 18th President. Today the United States is the voice of its people pledging anew the spirit they felt in 1776. America is not today what it was two hundred years ago. We will not be in June what we are now in September. The year 1976 will not introduce any- thing new to the country or to the Red Bank Catholic community; this year will only heighten that which is already present. The spirit of 76 will resound through the halls of the school whether it be the year 1976 or 2001. Nothing artificial will create the Spirit within us, for we are the Spirit of 76. To start the day off correctly, Jane (Kathy Dowd John Doe (Pete Samaras) has a great schedule Linda Brock) goes to Freedmans for her early this year. Second period finds him deep in intel- morning nutritional needs. lectual conversation during his Sociology class. Dismissal! Jane Doe (Carol Roarty, Cathy Quinnessey) needs only five minutes to gather up her coat and books and head for Freedmans for a sixteen cent begle or hard roll. Reporting to the universal gym in the lower level of the grammar school, John (Wayne Calandriello) finds the bicycle great for the after lunch feeling . As another school day closes. John Doe (T. Pinto) finds himself “thumbing it home The year continues 3 From the Wright Brothers to the Red Baron ... Highwheelers to Ten Speeds ... J.C.L. to the Red-Headed Club .. Palace to Homeroom .., [during this Bicentennial year, Red Bank Catholic proved to be a little ahead of its time. We chose to keep in line with two themes. One was from the Diocese of Trenton-“Liberty and Jus- tice to All”, and the other was from Monmouth County - the role of women in the American Revolution, more com- monly known as ‘‘Equality for Women”. This year we are to do all we can within reason to make people aware of the anniversary of our nation’s indepen- dence. -Jack Rafter Mr. Jack Rafter, Bicentennial direc- tor at R.B.C., feels that for each student to get something out of the year, they should involve themselves in all that they can. ‘‘It is not easy for each student to do something relevant,” declares Mr. Rafter, “so to help with ideas, each department sponsored various types of activities.” Student Council members constructed a 76” sign to light up the Spirit of 76 . 8 Jackie Davis and Lisa Donahue compete in a battle of the sexes during Bicentennial run sponsored by the Athletic Department. Stacy Kirk shows her true colors as she dresses for the Bicenten- nial Run. Mr. Farmer watches carefully as two members of the sophomore team complete the obstacle course at the Anything Goes Assembly. Two teams race for the finish in the Paul Revere ride at the Anything Goes Assembly. The Social Studies Department traced the beginning of democracy by conducting skits and plays. Interested students portrayed characters from American history including Ben Franklin and F.D.R. The students also recited simplified versions of speeches given by these men during their lives. The Business Department sponsored an “Anything Goes” assembly in which eight students from each level took part in such skits as George Washington crossing the Delaware, and even a fox hunt was staged. The b©ys blindfolded themselves and chased girl foxes trying to shoot them down with whipped cream. Trophies were given to those grade levels coming in first and second place. Mr. Kristofik expressed his opinion of the assembly by saying, “It was a very different approach to the Bicentennial and proved to be zany and crazy as well as literate.” The Health Department sponsored an essay contest on “The American Dream of 76-Then and Now”. Those students interested wrote 76 words or less on their interpretation of Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness. Students also participated in an essay con- test sponsored by the veterans of Foreign Wars on the topic “What America Means to You” The winners were awarded savings bonds. These along with many other activities were sponsored to show the enthusiasm of the students here at R.B.C. during this Bicen- tennial year. 9 T his year at R.B.C., the en- tire student body and faculty found themselves bidding farewell to long time administrator Monsignor Emmett Monahan A testimonial dinner was held in honor of the former St James Parish pastor at Gibbs Hall on December 11, 1975. Monsignor Monahan received a glowing tribute by a broad spectrum of speakers addressing some six hun- dred attendants. Father Valentino was installed as pastor of St. James on January 18, 1976 as the ninth pastor of the 111 year old Red Bank parish. An estimated four hundred persons from both St. Ann’s Parish, Keansburg, (Father Valentino’s former parish) and St. James Parish witnessed the event. All of us here at R.B.C. wish both of these illustrious men continued suc- cess and happiness. Several parishoners extend a warm farewell to Monsignor Monahan whose years of dedicated service to St. James parish will be long remembered.

Sr. Vincent, you’re “marvelous.” Adriana Vinals, treasurer, signs a commitment to the Student Council as Mitchell Search, assemblies chairman, looks on. I n the Spirit of 76, this year’s Student Coun- cil entered office with its own strong feeling of independence. The ideal of unity among all those at Red Bank Catholic students, faculty, and administration was set as the Council’s main objective. All new programs, ideas, and activities were proposed with this goal in mind, and carried out with the cooperation of all involved. Long hours of hard work were spent through- out the summer months in preparation for the coming fall. The year opened with a totally new program for Freshman Orientation, designed to introduce the frosh as important members of RBC. Spirited football pep rallies for arch rivals Red Bank and Rumson were held, along with some weekend dances-all proving to be huge social and financial successes. In November, the season was wrapped up with the Homecoming Game and Dance-annual affairs that never lose their glow. Later, the Council called on the students to help in such community activities as the Thanks- giving Food Drive and the Christmas Gift Drive. This year was indeed one of innovation and creativity. Activities were done with more flair and style than ever before. For the first time, the Activities Fund had been used for the benefit of the student body, by making such activities as the Little Rascals Film Festival and the Home- coming Dance free of charge. More new events were the Harlem Wizard’s Basketball Game, a 50’s Sock Hop, and Youth Week. The Student Council at RBC has never before been so successful in all its endeavors. This is really the start of something good. STUDENT COUNCIL MEMBERS—FRONT ROW: D. Taylor, J. Tierney, A. Vinals, M. Byrnes, K. Robinson. CENTER ROW: M. Menna, K. Callahan, M. Malley, S. Trimboli, M.

Under the guidance of moderator Mrs. Mary Walton the group of sixty sophomores, juniors, and seniors held trips to New York, for the performances of Grease” and “Sherlock Holmes”, went on their annual camping trip in the spring raised money in various ways for both community and personal use. Perhaps the most memorable activ- ity was a tag day held at the Thanks- giving Day game vs. Rumson-Fair Haven Regional for the benefit of Alton Palmer, a student from Red Bank Re- gional who was seriously injured in an early season football game. As the rain drizzled on and off, a committee organ- ized and directed by Dan Norton, a senior N.H.S. member, roamed through the crowds and successfully collected a sum of over $200.00 for the benefit of the Palmer medical expenses. Installation was held in late March for the new members. Speakers at the in- stallation were members Chas O’Byrne, Scott Trimboli, Jaime Santelle, and Linda Rupy. They spoke about the character- istics of a N.H.S. student which included leadership, scholarship, service, and character. Concluding the ceremony were the actual installations, and a slide show presenting scenes from N.H.S. activities and gatherings. Musical enter- tainment and refreshments were also a part of the evening. Officers of the society, elected in the start of the year, included Lorna Lopez as president, Paul D'Aloia and Adriana Vinals presiding as co-vice presidents, Patti Morris as treasurer and Carol Scarpellino as secretary. This year’s National Honor Society has lived up to its title and outwardly shown the community the characteristics which designate such a member — scholarship, leadership, character, and service.

Currently there are fifty-five members: seniors, juniors and sophomores who are divided into groups according to the academic departments of the school. The members worked with these departments to promote a closer communication between faculty and students. In March, the Committee sponsored a Bicentennial festival open to the student body and their parents. The organization was unique in that the Committee does not have a presi- dent. Instead there were two co-chair- persons that worked together to insure that the ideals of the Committee were carried out. Mrs. Bliss was the Com- mittee’s advisor and, it was through her patience and guidance that the students were able to achieve their objectives. 15 Jane Blatz and Nancy Bevacqui emphasize the Emerald as a book of distinc- tion during a skit to promote sales. Donna Scarpellino takes a well deserved break from her many tasks as a section editor. Elach year, the Emerald tries new ideas with the sole purpose of satis- fying the school community. This year was no exception, in fact Emerald 1976 has expanded to include more art work and unusual layouts under the guidance of Mrs. Callahan and Sister Rosemary Jeffries. The many talents, and hours of dedica- tion put forth by the editors and their staff deserve commendation. Incorpor- ated into this book were different and effective ways of presenting the material contained within it. It is an explosion of unique literary and art styles reflecting the events and people of the Red Bank Catholic community. 1976 was not only the birthday of our nation but also an exciting beginning of modern publication for the Red Bank Catholic’s Emerald.

Their combined efforts have united the student body. The Band has performed success™ fully in various parades including the Veteran’s Day Parade in Asbury Park and The Saint Patrick’s Day Parade in New York. As part of their Bicentennial spirit, our Band and Marching Unit performed a “Spirit of 76” halftime show at the Thanksgiving Day Game. The flagtwirlers, cheerleaders, and color guards all carried American flags in a musical tribute to our country. Wishing America a happy birthday, the Band then joined in with a medley of songs including, “America the Beautiful,” “God Bless America,” and “My Country ’Tis of Thee.” Despite the downpour of rain, a prize-winning performance was given if one was to judge by the reactions of the fans. Setting the mood for the holiday season, our many talented Band members performed in a Christmas Concert to bring to all the spirit of Christmas through music. The concert was open to anyone who wished to attend and the response was great. 22 J.V. CHEERLEADERS: BACK ROW: T. Braun, S. Lane, MIDDLE ROW: B. Lopez, D. Donnelly, K. Shebell, L. Clarahan, N.

The talents of these students are not only at the games or in the parades, but at pep rallies and in school as well. As the Band plays “We’ve Got The Whole School On Our Side,” and the Marching Units perform, the entire student body responds enthusiastically. When members were asked what it was like to be involved in this group, the majority replied it required a lot of work and practice, but it was a satisfying experience as they represented Red Bank Catholic. In conclusion one must call attention to the moderators that shaped and main- tained this Unit. Mr. Cole has been both an advisor and an inspiration to all the Band members. Mrs. Pennotti and Miss La Banca both have given many after- noons and evenings to help them become a well knit group. Miss Campbell has enabled the Marching Unit to structure themselves better. Through the guidance and patience of these persons, the Red Bank Catholic Band and Marching Unit has reached its’ goal. FLAG TWI RLE RS: BACK ROW: G. DeMarco, S. Clarke, M. Largey, C. Ferraro, L.

Although the day itself was drizzly and dismal, the stands were filled with loyal and spirited spectators, who were there to witness the Caseys’ final football contest against their traditional Turkey Day rival, Rumson-Fair Haven, and to extend a hearty cheer of congratulations to the 75-76 Homecoming Queen, Patty Travis. The R.B.C. Band and Marching Unit performed a Bicentennial tribute as Patty and the runners-up Mary Ellen Haynes and Mary Copperthwaite were escorted onto the rain-soaked field. Monsignor Monahan crowned Patty with a floral wreath as the fans shouted, “Three cheers for Patty Travis, the best of them all.” Despite the dampening weather, our fabulous fans at the Rumson game just won’t quit. 26 Bettianne Alter says it all in a box.

The dedication of the Red Bank Catholic Chorus to music could be heard every morning during first period, as the harmonious and melo- dious voices filtered out from the Broad Street Auditorium. Under the superb instruction of Mr. Robert Cioffi, any project undertaken this year proved to be a success. “The Little Prince” enhanced by the music of Lerner and Llowe, superbly adapted for the stage and directed by Mr. Robert Cioffi, did not leave a dry eye in the house. The acting was stupendous and the chorus added to its state of perfection. The Spring Con- cert had also confirmed the many talents this class possessed.

Through their work, students in the program became aware of the needs and difficulties of others, and have acquired a sense of understanding and sensitivity. It is via this encounter with the other students that the cadets became conscious of their capability to work with people. There are approximately 89 students involved with the Teacher Cadet Program. It consists of various areas of education, science, P.E., language, photography, etc. Co-ordinator Sister Mary Vincent states, “I feel the program is self-satisfying for both the students and myself. The students have put their training to use in a majority of classes and have shown enthusiasm in their endeavors.” Sister Vincent also men- tioned that you don’t have to be an “A” student to be a teacher cadet, but you should have the willingness to give service.

I n the past, the Red Bank Catholic High School Forensic Team had established an excellent reputation. This year was no exception. Continuing with past traditions, this year’s mem- bers have also achieved outstanding performances. The students compete in various areas of speech, including declamation and prose interpretation, poetry reading, original oratory, and poetry interpretation. Special mention should be made con- cerning Junior Chas O’Byrne who excelled in extemporaneous speaking while Junior Lisa Gambacorto gave prize- winning performances in humorous inter- pretation, and Senior Kathy Beck’s dra- matic interpretation was overwhelming. This year’s team has traveled far and wide striving for perfection. They have attended tournaments at the Bronx High School of Science in New York; Penns- bury, Pennsylvania; Cranford High School and Long Branch High Schools in New Jersey; and took second place as a team in a Marlboro Tournament. A successful tournament was also held at R.B.C. on February 14, 1976. The team as a whole prepares the entire school year practicing many long hours. Moderator Miss Kammerman along with new co-ordinator Mrs. Devon- shire is proud of the entire Forensic Team and feel that this year’s spirit may bring success to the team at the finals in Colorado.

The program served as a means for the students to work as a group for a common goal. This year a record number of students included the full year religion course in their schedules. After participating in a weekend retreat as juniors, many of these same students decided to become a part of Renewal in order to aid the R.B.C. commun- ity in becoming aware of God and their surroundings. Renewal is guided by Sr. Rosemary Jeffries with the assistance of our school chaplain, Fr. Mike Corona and Sr. Mary Francesca. When several students were asked to explain Renewal they replied, “Renewal is a reaffirmation of faith - an expression that transcends beyond the wall of the classroom and textbook religion to reach out to the commun- ity through witness and service.” This year Renewal was kept busy within the school community by initiating three major pro- grams, namely Rite To Life, Ashes To Easter, Unicef and several minor activities as a class. They proved to be rewarding experiences for the student body and for each Renewal member as well. The Renewal group has realized and exper- ienced many things this past year and this quote from the Gospel of St. Luke sums it up beautifully: ‘‘When a man has had a great deal given him, a great deal will be demanded of him; and when a man has had a great deal given him on trust, even more will be expected of him.” 36 C“P fjD Un IF crp UD rhe Signpost, Red Bank Cath- olic’s newspaper, is published four times during the school year and is a member of the Catholic Press Associ- ation. Charles O’Byrne served as Editor-in-Chief, and Charles Muldaur and Aileen Ancrum were Assistant Editors. Mrs. Carolyn Devonshire func- tioned as faculty advisor. It was through these people, and the entire staff, that the student body was kept aware of happenings in the school as well as out. The paper presented a capsule summary of the myriad activities which took place at Red Bank Catholic. The Signpost sponsored photography con- tests and permitted students to express their opinion on music, theater, and school events. Highlights of this year’s issues were: a spotlight on new teachers, a concert update, and a special tribute to Mon- signor Monahan, pastor of St. James parish and school director, who was transferred during the school year.

I n recent years the plays at Red Bank Catholic have been of a serious nature. This year, however, called for a change of pace. The administration was not only looking for a light-hearted love story, but a musical as well. What better choice could they have made but to select the Broadway production “GIGI”. GIGI” is a love story. It centers around a young girl growing up in Paris where society stressed that young ladies be trained to be women of the world. Gigi could not bring herself to go along with this concept and the delightful story unfolds. This year, the main cast of characters is comprised almost entirely of seniors. David Finley did a superb job of recreating the role of Honore Lachailles, a middle-aged man of the world and Gaston’s uncle. Dave also portrayed the Pilot in the school’s Christmas play, “The Little Prince”. Kathy Beck emerges as a “New Gigi. Honore portrayed by David Finley gaily sings “I'm glad I'm Not Young Anymore!” 00 00 Liane (Mary Copperthwaite) exclaims “How sweet” as she is introduced to Gigi. Melina Melone, Choreographer, and Meredith Pennotti, Assistant Chore- ographer, discuss during rehearsal some possible dance steps. Maitre Dufresne (Patrick Maloney), Aunt Alicia (Mary Angers), Mamita (Patricia Mulvaney), Maitre Duclos (Charles O’Byrne), sing about The Contract, they secur- ed for Gigi's future with Gaston. The Can-Can girls delightfully entertain the distinguished guests at Maxim's. Gaston Lachailles, Honore’s nephew who is bored with the Paris social life is played by Daniel Norton. After seeing him perform as the Snake in “The Little Prince” and now in “GIGI”, Danny renews our faith in him as a fine actor with a great future. Kathy Beck creates her first leading role in the school play “GIGI”. This would prove a challenge to most of us, but not for Kathy, however. She said since she “is basically a little girl” it is easy for her to identify with the character. Portraying Gigi’s sophisticated Aunt Alicia was Mary Angers. This was Mary’s second year as a leading performer in the school play. Last year she starred as Abigail Adams, wife of John Adams, in “1776”. Mamita, Gigi’s grandmother, is played by Patricia Mulvaney. Tricia was the only junior performing in the main cast, so we can look forward to her talents in next year’s play. Many other students were also in- volved in the cast, chorus and crew. They too have been given credit for all their personal achievements. Probably the most unforgettable mo- ments in the play were the lyrics and music by Lerner and Frederick Lowe. The audience watched and listened to Mamita (Tricia Mulvaney) and Honore (Dave Finley) reminiscing their love by singing “I Remember It Well.” When Gaston (Dan Norton) realized that a young girl had become a women he sang “Gigi”. Honore summed up the entire play when he sang “Thank Heaven For Little Girls”. Mr. Christopher Merli, Set Constructor, and Mr. Robert Cioffi, Producer-Director, review some final details about the set. 39 Happiness finally comes when Gigi (Kathy Beck) accepts Gaston's (Danny Norton) hand in marriage. ccording to Mr. Robert Cioffi, the director of GIGI, R.B.C. is the first high school to stage this musical production. GIGI made its debut at 8:30 p.m. on Friday night, March 5. It continued running the following evening, March 6 and the next weekend on the nights of March 12 and 13. The reaction of the audience was exuberant. During intermission and after the performance, everyone who attended made comments on how excellent and authentic the production was. Mr. Robert Cioffi, along with Miss Mary Carmody, Miss Meredith Pennotti, and Sr. Mary Francesca spent long hours directing the cast in their singing and dancing. The success of the play proved that we were all proud of their efforts.

I Honore (David Finley) and Mamita (Patricia Mulvaney) reminisce as they sing “I Remember It Well. One of the many times Gaston (Danny Norton) turns to his wise uncle Honore (David Finley) for advice. 41 Sr. Mary Francesca, Production Coordinator, and Miss Mary Carmondy, Assistant Director, look on as the cast goes through a trial run. 1976 brought the first science fair to R.B.C. in twelve years.

Music and laughter filled the bus during the four hour trip to the resort. Upon arrival it was discovered that there was to be no skiing as a result of the weather conditions. This was somewhat of a disappointment for the more exper- ienced skiers as well as for the beginners in the group. However, it was not enough to dampen their spirits as there were other activities offered. The first day was mainly spent explor- ing the surrounding areas of the resort. The following days proved the indoor pool, sauna and game rooms to be equally entertaining. Meanwhile, horses received much exercise and the tobag- gan run proved to be challenging for both students and chaperopes. alike. That Wednesday night the seniors danced to the music of “The Union Break” at the Tally-ho Barn. As Mother Nature decided to shed some snow, skiing became the major activity for the morning hours of Thursday. After a final meal, suitcases, skiis, and people boar- ded busses at two p.m. Four hours later, one hundred and sixty weary seniors arrived home with heads full of memories of one of their final tastes of high school life. What could be more fun than getting your skiis crossed? ask Monica Loncola and Alicia Tierney as they prepare to take on the icy slopes at Eastover. 46 The Senior group at Eastover, 1976.

Tides are turning, we are learn- ing, (forever changes).” This quote symbolizes all that Seniors faced in this year of decisions, impressions, and farewells. Seniors saw this year as one of a transition period between adolescence and adulthood. They were not yet adults, but were expected to make adult decisions, that would determine the rest of their lives. They were not still children and they were criticized if they acted as such. They had to bide their time until they grew into the right role. As a whole, Seniors felt responsibility resting on their shoulders. Responsibility for their jobs, for their school work, for their future. The cliche about how “Seniors lead the school” may be old, but it still holds true. The spirit, the good times, the planning, the responsibility all told the school what kind of com- munity and class they were becoming. Academics played a large role in Senior life, especially in the beginning of the year, as Senior year is the time 51 NANCY JOAN CANCELLIERI GINA MARIE CARBONE PHYLLIS JANE CARBONE CELIA JOYCE CAREY LORRAINE ANN CAVALIER KEVIN JOHN CASEY LISA ANNE CASSIDY MARIE TERESA CATRICALA PATRICIA CHARPEK JAMES FELIX CHMIEL Mary Ellen Haynes, Tom Woods, Cindy Samaras, and Bruce Grimm add a little Senior spirit to the Sophomore dance by demonstrating a few steps. 52 CATHERINE LUCY CIRIANI PHYLLIS ANN CLARK SUZANNE TRACY CLARK KOORLEEN MARY CICALESE LORRAINE ELIZABETH CLUNE ANNE STEPHANIE COLE ANTOINETTE MARIA CLAY SCOTT THOMAS CLAYTON ELLEN MARY CONLON MARK DAVID CONNORS NORA ELIZABETH COOLAHAN ROBERTA JEAN CROWTON MARY CELESTE COPPERTHWAITE KATHLEEN PATRICIA CURNAYN MAUREEN ANNE CROWLEY PAUL ROBERT D’ALOIA JOANN MARY DALM MARK ROBERT DALY RALPH D’AMBROSIO CELIA GRACE D’AMBROSIO ANA MARGARITA DAMIEN PATRICIA ANN DANIELSON JOHN SANDS DAVIS, JR.

When asked in a questionnaire distributed randomly, “What are your plans for college?”, most said that they were going to take a year off to work, and then decide for the future. The need to go on, to do something worth- while, and at the same time fulfilling, was faced by each Senior. Much of the Senior curriculum was course choices made by each Senior based on their in- terests, and of course, their credit need. Most Seniors felt the course choices were relevant, and that they were ultimately responsible for their own career’s preparation. Many also felt that RBC had adequately prepared them for college. It was not to be disre- graded that paper work, such as tran- scripts, applications, forms, and day to day classwork, broken up by visits to college compuses, demanded much of a Senior’s time. Senior-itis, one of the most prevalent afflictions, had apparently not settled in according to results of the Senior questionnaire. Most Seniors felt that spirit was still resounding through the halls. As one classmate put it, “Our class could have always been Seniors. We have good ideas and good leaders.” Many however could see how jobs, decision-making and other commitments have gotten in the way.

Since much of the flavor of Senior year is memories, looking back at Freshman year, Seniors remembered their continual clashes with the faculty and administration. They could vividly recall the episode in the church, during which LOOKING BACK.. .MEMORIES some freshmen leaped over the pews, and of couse the ensuring assembly with the administration. It seemed somehow that the “Spirit of 76” which the class brought with it through four years of school, overflowed into row- diness, and that spelled trouble. The ready acceptance of the “Robin Hood” hats and the pranks that go along with Freshman Orientation, was con- sidered as tradition. THE YEAR OF THE TURKEY... It was not that the Seniors possessed the authority to “do unto others as others did unto them.” The reputation of being rowdy began from the first in- troduction of this class to RBC, but it grew and developed until that same reputation was put to good use in ac- complishing many activities and goals.

The Junior Buffet was one of the most successful activities, plann- ed to raise money to help defray the cost of the Junior Prom. The theme of “Eat, Drink, and Be Merry” proved to be well-chosen, as everyone agreed there was plenty of fun, along with plen- ty to eat and drink. The Junior Prom, set to the theme of “Somewhere Over the Rainbow” was held at the Essex and Sussex Hotel in Spring Lake on May 22. The fun of being together, and partying together was a fantastic ending to a fantastic year. ophomore year was one of adjusting; to the system, to the feeling of not being a freshman anymore, and to the other people. The Freshman- Sophomore Coffeehouse, two iceskating trips, and a successful toy drive were some of the THE YEAR OF THE OWL activities the class accomplished. Also, some of the class participated in Christmas caroling at the Hudson Center. Sophomores were still birds, but they were wiser now.

The enter- tainment started off THE FOOTBALL HALL OF FAME on a mellow note with Joe Lanigan playing the guitar and got more vibrant as the night went on with the rock ‘n’ roll music of Mike Melicia, Chris John- son, and Tom Woods. There was no question that the food was good and response outstanding. The atmosphere of Halloween Harvest set the mood of relaxation. A lot of hard work, and fun, paid off at the end as it was a huge success. The Seniors made the fresh- man feel welcome to their school by organizing a Freshman-Senior Mass with a reception following. The Class Trip, which so many Seniors looked forward to, was held at Eastover, where it had been for the past five years. The food was excellent, with many types of activities available for those who skied, and for those who did not.

I n looking back, it is easy to remember the major and most suc- cessful activities. However it is not easy to recall the day to day frustrations and pranks. THE YEAR OF THE LION The Seniors should always be able to remember the plate-breaking in the cafeteria, and Sr. Vincent’s collections to cover the cost. The Seniors must remember the classes, the teachers, the friends who came and went, the shock of death of a contemporary, the scare of college boards, and the joy of attaining their desired goals. However, their lasting impressions of RBC were due mainly to the influence of their friends. They made some friendships in these last four years that they know will last a lifetime, and yet they also had friends who they think they could never forget, but the memory will fade in time.

With 13 senior harriers providing the strength and experience, this year’s squad completed a fine season by posting a hard-earned 13-4 record. The secret of their success this fall can be attributed to the great team spirit instilled by Tri-captains Jim Seuffert, Tom Max, and John Murphy. However, much more went into it than just this. Many long, hard hours of practice and a lot of determination made the season as successful as it was. In addition to the regular HARD-EARNED 13-4 RECORD season achievements, the Casey’s ran to a fifth place spot in the Monmouth Country Meet and an eighth place finish in the State Championship Meet. Both times the Casey’s were anchored by the strong finishes of First Team All Shore harrier Jim Seuffert.

The year was high- lighted by a Casey berth in the State playoffs. The key to much of the gridders success was the ability to come through in tough situations. The Casey Green Machine shifted into high gear after dropping a 20-0 decision to cross-town rival Red Bank Regional and went on to capture the next five games by a combined score of 104 to 27. The Casey offense was powered by quarterback John Sutphin and All-Shore selection Paul D’Aloia as the Caseys constantly outscored the opposition by large margins. Also adding to the potent attack was the presence of excellent receivers such as Jim Lake, R.J. Bates and Rich Kelly who came up with many outstanding catches. DEFENSE WAS SUPERB ALL YEAR The defense was superb all year. Anchored by All-Shore junior Chris Shellenbach and All-Parochial middle guard Bill Berth, the Casey defenders turned in sparkling performances which made them one of the better defenses at the shore. Other key players were tri-captain Chris Eagan, linebacker John MacDonald and end Mike Morley. Hopes are running high for next season as the Caseys will have many returning let- termen. lve:: jf, . i . .

With the strong running of senior halfback Paul D’Aloia coupled with an awesome defensive unit, Red Bank Catholic romped past Shore Regional 27-0. D’Aloia, in top form after an early season shoulder injury, scored two Casey touchdowns and gained 121 yards rushing for the day. Defensively, the Caseys held the Blue Devils to only sixteen yards total offense, recovered three fum- bles and intercepted two passes and a pitchout. The Casey defense “We played a nice defensive game, no question about that.” never permitted Shore to get closer than the Red Bank Catholic 32 yard line.

The Casey cagers began the season spectacularly by running off an 8-2 record after the first 10 games. Strengthened by the leadership of co-captains Bob Mahon and Jackie Davis, this relatively young Casey squad combined team play with fine individual performances to be recog- nized as one of the top teams around. Based on their fine record, R.B.C. made it as far as the Parochial Cham- pionships, but were eliminated by a three point loss to a tough Holy Spirit team. Supplying much of the scoring power for the Caseys was 6-7 center Tom Seaman while 6-6 junior Billy Howes controlled the boards. Round- ing out the starting five was Pete Clabby who proved himself to be an outstanding defensive player. Con- tinually coming off the bench to spark the Caseys with needed punch were guard Joey Rodriguez and forwards J.C. Chemiel and Ralph D’Ambrosio.

(pn« @ m C ■ 3 Efjj| no w mmm ® [il JL ril i ill W hen girl’s basketball tryouts were held in mid-November, Coach Lynn Dooley found herself faced with a difficult task. The girls practiced in the gymnasium after school, vying for a place on the team. By showing enthusiasm in trying out, each girl was in fact stating her desire to represent the girls of Red Bank Catholic, and making a promise to exhibit dedica- tion and a will to work. Unfortunately, Coach Dooley had to eliminate several of the girls. Cuts were made and the twenty jayvee and varsity members pre- pared for the upcoming season with anticipation. Being a member of any team involves more than showing up on the day of the game. It involves work, talent, and time. The girls on the basketball team were no exception to the rule. Everyday after school and on Saturdays, they donned their sweats and proceeded to perfect those skills necessary to shape a winning team. While Ms. Dooley supervised, the girls practiced jump balls, executed lay ups and conducted scrimmages. At the end of the season, the girls posted a fine 13-12 record. However, it goes without saying that the most impressive victory came when the Varsity team defeated the previously undefeated DEFEATED THE PREVIOUSLY UN- DEFEATED MATER DEI GIRLS TEAM Mater Dei girls team. In fact, RBC handed the Seraphs their only loss for the regular season. Led by Captain Ann Egan, the Case- ettes entered the Casey Holiday Festival Tournament in December, placing fourth in the final standings.

The season was climaxed with a convincing 36-17 victory over heavily-favored North Bergen, which eventually went on to win its District championship. Coach Mautner’s squad also took first place in the C.B.A. Christmas Tour- nament. Captain Steve Gironda along with Brian Kirgin were the mainstays of the team posting 18-4 and 20-5 records respectively. Gironda’s record was the best in the Shore Area in the 141 weight class, and he was also credited with 10 pins. John Pinto 13-7 and Gerry Copperthwaite 15-9-1 also compiled outstanding records.

Sole have discovered that tennis isn't all fun. ince its initiation three years ago, the Red Bank Catholic girls tennis team has gradually made a name for itself in the Shore area. The twelve member team closed out the 1975 season with an impressive 7-2 record, and clinched first place in FIRST PLACE IN THE INDEPENDENT CLASS the Independent class. Under the direction of Coach Mary Carmody, the girls triumphed over several strong opponents, such as Toms River South and Middletown. Shutouts were easily handed to Asbury Park and Southern Regional. Due to the lack of a home court, the team worked out at Monmouth Beach Club, and later at Thompson Park. Carpools were set up for transportation purposes. Coach Carmody expressed extreme pleasure with the many victories, although the girls faced obstacles — lack of home court, a majority of away games, and trans- portation difficulties. “The girls still managed to keep a victorious spirit throughout the season.” Leadership for the racketeers was provided by team captains Mary Ellen Haynes and Joanne Tierney. In ad- dition, seniors Cathy Loberman and Marianne McHugh were cited as out- standing team members by Coach Carmody. Miss Carmody views the future as optomistic because under- classmen Karen Stanley, Robin Sole, and Margaret O’Byrne exhibit the potential to keep the team victorious in ’77. 114 K. Stanley and M. O’Byrne wait at the baseline for the start of play. Tom Cunneff demonstrates the classic forehand stroke. 3 ne of the fastest growing sports in America is gradually making a name for itself in the athletic program at Red Bank Catholic High School. A growing interest in tennis was reflected in the successful boy’s team as well as that of the girls. In mid-March the male racketeers were given the opportunity to compete for one of the few positions open on the boy’s tennis team. Immed- iately after final cuts were made, the aspiring Jimmy Connors’ set out with victory in mind for the 76 season. Due to the courtesy of the New Shrewsbury Raquet Club, the boys were able to serve, lob and smash on beautiful indoor facilities. In his second year as tennis coach, Mr. George Gill anticipated a very good season for the Casey racket team. His optimism was based on the fact that two of the strongest team members, John McMahon and Jack McNamara had returned as varsity members to lead the team. Other outstanding talent was exhibited by senior Jim Keale and underclass players Rody Angers and Marshall Culver. 5=3 (s=i u it 3 «=3 b—u—d b u lJ SsJ Ijul) =3 S=5) Tom Cunneff, Jack McNamara, John McMahon, and Jim Coolahan find a moment to relax between matches.

This year, the team is relatively young and inexperienced. However, all members possess a love of golf and a real dedication to work. Coach Tony Howard, pleased with this season’s turn-out of 15-20 members, stated that “Anyone is welcome to join the Golf program. No cuts are made for the team. The only requirement is to know a little about the game of golf.” Practice sessions were held two to three times a week at Bamm Hollow Country Club in Middletown. There, members of the team chipped balls, practiced driving and putting and pre- pared for matches against such strong opposition as CBA and Rumson. Approximately twenty matches were scheduled for this season. Each match TWENTY MATCHES SCHEDULED FOR THIS SEASON consisted of nine holes of golf played by the five team members chosen by Coach Howard before the match. In most cases, those “duffers” who turned in the best practice scores were entitled to represent RBC in the match. One great advantage of being on the golf team was that the members had the opportunity to play some of the finest courses in the Shore area. Coach Howard and the golf team set the State Tournament in May as their ultimate goal for the season. As for the future, Mr. Howard is very optimistic, due to the great many freshmen who turned out for the team this year. LEFT TO RIGHT: Coach T. Howard, D. Williams, B. Chmiel, M. Clabby, J.

The high hurdle unit is led by Ken Killian, Bill Baldinger, and Pat Harmon. Also Jim Monachello will provide keen competition in the 880. These seniors combined with talented underclassmen, Neil Hughes in the pole vault, Pete Brown in the 440 and half, and Kim Foulkes and Joe Phieffer in the sprints should produce quite a year for this Casey team. 120 Coach Merli explains the Eric Bunn, Ken Killian, and Neil Hughes are off to a good start and hopefully to a successful season. fundamentals of a starting block.

Girls are reminded that there are only 52 days left to prepare for tryouts on March 1 . .Since that time, reminders were periodically posted in the bulletin to keep the girls of Red Bank Catholic aware that March arrives all too soon. Indeed it did, for on March 1, approximately 250 nervous but anxious girls gathered in the cafeteria for a meeting. However, only a lucky 78 were chosen to continue with the tradition of girls track . .. that is, victory. The first official team practice was held and although the worry and excite- ment concerning tryouts had vanished, the enthusiasm of the girls never failed. Daily practices were held and the team worked out diligently, knowing that hard work can only pay off in a successful season. Managers, coaches, team mem- bers all worked together as a unit, striving to make the 76 performance second to none in the Shore area. Although the Caseys realized they faced tough competition, they always had the optimistic attitude that made last year’s state Championship team. The season held not only dual meets, but the Casey Relay Festival, which attracted the best girl’s track teams in the East. Senior members furnished the confi- dence and leadership necessary in the course of the season. Numerous under- classmen were a reminder that the future will also hold victory for the Caseys.

These individuals each with their own special talent, formed a class separate and distinct from all others. When they entered Red Bank Cath- olic three years ago, the class of 77 viewed junior year as the distant, practically uncomprehensible level of upper classmen. Yet looking back, recalling all the memories — time has certainly passed quickly. Suddenly, but confidently, . . . the “Gold of 77” assumed the role of co-leaders of the school community. Enthusiasm and spirit is the Junior’s key to success . . . Success academically has set the pace for their achievement in a variety of activities. Much of this success can be attributed to their class officers: John Malley as President, Cris Kinslow as Vice-President, Louise Mellilo as Activities Chairman with Ms. Meredith Pennotti as their class level moderator who did an out- standing job in the organization of class activities. With these things set, the class pulled together and began one of the most memorable years of their scholas- tic career. Teachers persistently re- minded the juniors that they were now mature young adults and should begin to act it.

For some, this meant mastering the intricacies of Algebra II and Trigonometry; for others it meant attacking the typewriter keyboard in room 313 with vigor (and in many cases remorse). Serious consideration of future plans also came to enter the minds of these people. College catalogues and hand- books slowly but surely became more familiar to all. Juniors went through the typical anxieties of PSAT’s and college boards yet met these chal- lenges with their usual “go get ’em” attitude. Though the awareness of duties and obligations always remained in their minds, the Juniors never allowed it to overshadow their desire for fun and relaxation, coupled with involvement and recognition in extra-curricular activities. The same spirit that permeated the class for the two previous years carried on through their junior year. By this time most of the Junior class knew each other fairly well. The change and development in individual personalities did not separate them, but served to bring the Junior class closer together in true unity. Their enthusiasm was channelled in various directions . . . BACK ROW: K. Osborn, L. Travis, J. Buckley, C. Roarty, C. Hoffman, P. Faust. MIDDLE ROW: K. Morton, T. Blake, L. Beckley, J. McDonald, M.

It was the first activity sponsored by the Juniors to help lower the cost of the Prom. In the Bicen- tennial Spirit the buffet took shape. Its “Bicentennial Show”, which featured the Juniors, gave a musical account of the twentieth century. Musical selections ranged from the slapstick comedy of the ’30’s to the “do waa” sound of the ’50’s and finally to the thought provoking sounds of the ’70’s. The food prepared by Juniors themselves, was planned to suit everyone’s tastes. Twelve turkeys, chicken, and trays of lasagna, along with various salads, vegetables, and deserts covered the serving tables. A tremendous turnout of faculty, parents, and students alike filled the cafeteria. The Junior Buffet proved to be the largest fund raising event organized by the students in the history of Red Bank Catholic. A major event in every Junior class is the ring ceremony. To be a part of the upperclassmen is a goal worth while reaching to most Juniors. The ceremony BACK ROW: E. Flanagan, P. Kraemer, M. Schullstrom, R. Lisowsky, FRONT ROW: D. Ducey, A. Flurley, K.

The Juniors earnestly began prepar- ations for their Prom in early January. Homeroom representatives worked dili- gently on committees and soon carloads of students were out listening to bands; pricing and choosing decorations and favors; and etting up seating arrange- ments. MAY 26 finally arrived and the elegant atmosphere of the Shadowbrook in Shrewsbury with its beautiful gardens and excellent food was the setting chosen for the prom. The evening was enjoyed and will long be remembered by all. A Junior’s seventeenth birthday could mean many things, but most importantly it means “driving.” The long hours in Driver’s Education, the countless practices behind the wheel, and the six month wait for the driver’s test was now a reality. K-turns and parallel parking became the new obstacle to tackle for each Junior. The excitement of being their own chauffeurs came with a smile. No more troublesome worries of finding or waiting for a ride home. Feeling free to go as you please, where and when you want. The problem then became getting the car. . . To be sure, there was rarely a stag- nant moment during this unique year. As a class, the Juniors gave their best effort, whether it was in the scholastic, athletic, employment, or leisure mo- ments of their lives. The Golden Jubilee class of 77 was always on the move and in the mood of the spirit of Red Bank Catholic. Class President John Malley dis- tributes that long-awaited Emerald ring to Sue DeMaio.

The spirit of 78 was expressed through the Sophomores as they began the school year with new ideas and ambitions. Though they coordinated few activities, their enthusiasm and adventure were evident. The year of the woman was exempli- fied in the class elections. It was a chance to test female capabilities as they experienced the task of leading and unifying the Sophs. President Michele Byrne, Vice Presidents Denise Taylor and Kathy Robinson, and Activ- ities Chairperson Kathy Callahan, along with class moderator, Mr. Eugene Luciani, merged into an effective team.

Soon the band, “Shine”, arrived and the atmos- phere grew lively as people edged their way to the center of the floor. For the entire evening the crowd of fresh- man, sophomores, and many upper- classmen bumped and swung their way around the dance floor. Both dances were great successes resulting in sizeable profits which benefited the whole class. Early March saw the excursion of a busload of Sophomores to New York City with tickets to see the Broadway musical, “Grease”. This was a chance for over forty students to relax away from the school atmosphere and experience the hopping and bopping of the 50’s. BACK ROW: B. Schmidt, M. Culver, T. Kulis, D. Murphy, J.

But spirit does not end with dances and activities; it also represents long hours of work and study. This meant tackling new type of courses, such as proofs and theorems of Geometry, and in-depth study of second year lang- uages. For many, taking on honors classes such as American Literature, U.S. History II, or BSCS Biology proved more of a challenge. Lab itself was a new mystery, as many students probed the problems of disappearing crayfish and murky microscope slides. Goals were met by many Sophomores as they obtained first and second honors on the Principal’s Honor List. Seasoned athletes also contributed their talents to make this year’s J.V. teams very successful. Sophomore year is also tenth period lunch. Perhaps the hardest adjustment was enduring a long day and wonder- ing what it would be like to find an abundance of food in the cafeteria. However, the Sophs soon forgot their problems in mustard fights and flying food, and in looking forward to that last class of the day . . . As the school year closed, the class of 78 had proved themselves as one determined not just to fit in, but to stand out. And that they certainly did. 147 Joe Nuziato points out a line from the play 1776” to Mrs. Golden as Mike Largey looks on. 148 The microscope offers a humorous view for Kathy Robinson and Tracey Seaman in Biology lab.

For one seem- ingly unending week, these newcomers got a taste of the R.B.C. life style. When the bell rang, the frosh would dash from class to class in hopes of avoiding the senior initiators. At the end of initiation week, the class of 79 threw off their pins and became full-fledged members of R.B.C. Their first activity as part of the school was a Freshman- Sophomore dance. On Friday night, September 12, they danced to the light of “Shine.” For the freshman, it was their first opportunity to get acquainted with their new classmates outside of a school atmosphere. It was an enjoyable evening for all. Their first decision as a class was to elect three fellow class- mates who would represent their inter- ests on Student Council. Following the elections, Maureen Holahan became President, Susan Trimboli Vice Pres- ident, and Margurite Festa Activities Chairperson. After being installed with the rest of the council, these three people worked towards the unification of the largest class R.B.C. had ever known. The class of 79 had much to be thankful for in the achievements of their officers. For Denise Kaminski, stopping for a picture is a moment’s relief during Freshman Initiation Week.

Another big event in their life was the freshman pep rally; R-O-W-D-l-E — that’s the way they spelled rowdy and it was obvious to all that they knew the meaning of the word. Led by the cheerleaders, the frosh sparked their football team in hopes of victory against Rumson. Their spirit was not confined to their own pep rally, but was also infectious during Varsity games. Their presence was felt by all others. The class of 79 not only excelled in extra-curricular activities, byt schol- astically as well. In the beginning of the year they entered a new and perhaps more difficult classroom atmosphere, but made adjustments according to the demands of high school life. For many students, Modern Algebra was a new concept that represented a challenge. Foreign languages also had not been studied by many as of yet, so freshman year marked the time to decide upon Spanish or French, or even German or Latin. High school was also a chance to concentrate on special interests for those with an appreciation of music and art. Opportunities to create outlets, and also to test one’s talents became available. The freshmen joined clubs varying from history to art, and from chess to skiing. Stage productions were another outlet as students audi- tioned for singing and dancing parts. Altogether the year was a new experience for the freshman class of 79, as many friends, decisions, and memories were made. BACK ROW: P. De Guzman, M. De Santis, J. Schieferstein. MIDDLE ROW: D.

He has spent more than half of his priesthood in this district. Since this is his first Pastorate, he is naturally very attached to the area and its people. He knows the parents whose children now attend Red Bank Catholic, therefore, he has to admit that it is very hard leaving something that is so much a part of him. Monsignor also realizes that it is the will of God and accepts the fact he must move on. Monsignor Monahan’s career here has had many highlights and con- tributions. In 1965 the new wing was added to the high school and 1960 the new grammar school was built. These are two of his most lasting accom- plishments. Monsignor has had much success in developing the parish through its liturgical, social, and educational aspects. He improved the CCD program and started the Parish Council in 1968. According to Monsi- gnor, the new wing of the high school 164 FATHER FREDERICK VALENTINO Saint James Pastor BISHOP GEORGE W.

MONAHAN Former Director of St. James Parish could not have been built without the full cooperation of the parishioners who worked with him to make St. James a most progressive parish and one of the first to have its own business manager. Monsignor will be moving on to St. Mark’s in Sea Girt. He hopes that he will be taken in there with the same love that was shown to him at St. James. Monsignor has fulfilled his goals for the St. James Parish and now must move on to new challenges elsewhere. He hopes that God will give him the power to do the work which benefits his parishioners. a Friday, January 16, 1976 the Reverend Frederick A. Valentino became the ninth pastor of St. James Parish. Fr. Valentino, formerly of St. Ann’s Parish has become known throughout Monmouth County for his exceedingly successful record as an administrator. During his nine years at St. Ann’s, Fr. Valentino undertook the complete remodeling of the parish plant. He was able to maintain a tuition free grammer school at the same time. It is one of the only two tuition free schools in the Trenton Diocese. Adding to this the parish pays half of the tuition of its students in the Catholic High School and also provides for fifty scholarships a year. Fr. Valentino born in Trenton, studied at St. Charles College and St. Mary’s Seminary in Baltimore. He was a member of the first class or- dained by Bishop Ahr on June 3, 1950. After a number of early assignments, he found himself in his native city at St. Joe’s. There he became the Mercer County CYO Director. Fr. Valentino also served as Northern Monmouth County CYAC Director. In succeeding The Right Reverend Emmitt A. Monahan, Fr. Valentino looks forward to a fruitful stay at St. James. 165 SR.

As a concerned Christian Community, we believe that each student has the right to receive the best possible instruction that can be provided by a learned and aware faculty, alert to every manifesta- tion of the growth process within the in- dividual student. We hold that through innovative programs and imaginative teaching techniques, each student will be caught up in the process of learning, and will be inspired to maximize his potential as a future citizen in a democratic society. To achieve the development of the whole man through effective academic, physical, aesthetic, spiritual and social problems; to create an atmosphere which promotes faculty growth and fosters the educational process; to assist students to understand options and to make decisions within the bounds of Christian behavior; to further self-development withing a structure of discipline and order; and to cultivate in- dividualization by providing meaningful opportunities for self-realization is our goal. and plant facilities. 167 Sr. Percylee returns to teaching Algebra after an absence of six years.

Even after having such a full schedule, which most first year teachers do possess, he enjoys taking time out 'for himself by playing tennis and soccer. Miss LaBanca taught for four years at Long Branch Junior and Senior High School. She finds Red Bank Catholic very different from Long Branch and very rewarding due to the great interest shown by the students. Miss LaBanca teaches Algebra II and Geometry and is cheer- leading advisor during basketball season. R.B.C. IS VERY DIFFERENT She spends most of her free time learning to play tennis and bowling. Sister Mary Wendelin is the new Science Department Chairperson. A.P. Biology, BSCB Biology, and Human Physiology are her domain. Before coming to Red Bank Catholic, Sister Wendelin taught at Notre Dame High School in Trenton. STUDENTS’ SUPPORT A teaching veteran of thirty-four years, Sr. Wendelin feels that this year has been very impressive, a year enhanced by the interest shown by her pupils, and a great challenge to her. Her aims for this year are to work closely with the Guidance Department in a com- bined effort to help the students make the right choices in course selection.

Sister McAuley is a graduate of Georgian Court College, where she re- ceived her B.S. in Math, and a grad- uate of Villanova, where she obtained her Masters in Math. She also took additional courses at The University of Maine. Sister McAuley teaches Math, Calcu- lus, Trigonometry and Algebra. She has taught in Perth Amboy where she was Student Council Moderator and Chairperson of the Math Department.

Her area is Physical Education and naturally her free time is spent doing anything related to sports. ONE OF THE MANY FAMOUS HARVEY SISTERS Mr. Paul Franzen graduated from Ursenus College and teaches Physical Education. He is a football coach but would like to coach more sports and hopes to be involved in the physical testing and weight training of students. When not jogging, a daily morning activity, he enjoys skiing on snow or water. The one thing which impressed him about this school was the students attitude towards physical fitness as an important part of life. Mr. Christopher Merli graduated from Red Bank Catholic and attended the University of Maryland and Mon- mouth College. He teaches Sociology and Psychology. Mr. Merli was on the varsity track team for four years when he attended R.B.C. Now he has grad- uated to coaching the football and track teams. Mr. Merli admired the much more relaxed atmosphere the school has now, a difference from when he was a student here. Also, the greater extent of administrative organi- zation.

To conclude our long list of new teachers is Sr. Mary Kerwin. Sr. Kerwin has a most interesting background, after serving as directress of Mt. St. Mary’s Academy for seven years she was selected to study in Rome last year. Her situation is more than unique as she was one of thirty-six of the English speaking women envolved in this international, intercongregational study of scripture, theology and the religious life. During her year of study in Rome she also spent two years in Israel. Sister is more than qualified to teach Scripture, which she loves, as she also has a M.A. in French.

Fhe IDEA program is a group project developed by four teachers: Mr. Johnson, Mr. Lemig, MissCarmody, and Mrs. Pennotti. Miss Carmody is the chairperson of the program and also teaches English. There are two individual areas in IDEA. One consists of English and History and the other Math and Science. The teachers of the two subject groups must work and plan together. The English and History are interdisciplinary as are the Math and Science. This course emphasizes the basic skills as students work on an individual basis with A.V. equipment supplemented by lectures. Teacher Cadets are a very important part of the class. They assist small groups of students while the two teachers work with the large group. The IDEA program is in its third year and it has helped many of its students to understand their courses better.

Mr. Jack Rafter became coordinator of this program. The purpose of the program was to rekindle an appreciation of the spirit of America. The aim was to rebuild the in- terest in our laws and their meaning and at the same time to parallel our aims of the bicentennial year with that of our church. The Diocese of Trenton used the motto “Liberty and Justice for All.” This is what we have tried to bring out here in this program. Liberty and justice for all; no matter what creed or color. Monmouth County was designated by the Diocese of Trenton as the county that will dedicate its study to the place of women, such as Molly Pitcher, in our revolution. An appeal went out to each department chairperson to present his or her own project, play, or something to represent this event. Each depart- ment presented an event that was re- presentative of their area. Mr. Rafter also brought out the fact that he was pleased with the student body in their acceptance of the real meaning of the Bicentennial. He remarked that we do have concerned students here at Red Bank Catholic who will care if we give them something to care about. The key word is involve- ment. With every right there is a respon- sibility but how can one understand their responsibility if they don’t unders- tand their rights. 187 Another hectic chorus practice lor Mr. Cioffi. IK 111 ! M r.

In an inter- view she reminisced about the past and the future. As a person with a tremen- dous gift for helping students, she saw guidance and supervision as her field within the religious life. She helps others by teaching them how to help themselves. We all need to feel rewards within our lives, and Sister’s rewards have come from seeing uncertain freshmen mature into educated com- petent adults ready to meet the challenges of a waiting world. Sr. Alma has seen a need for curriculum change to fit our modern society especially in the vocational field; therefore, she instituted a modification of the business courses. So again we salute you Sister Alma, may you have a very happy future. 192 Guests at Sister Mary Alma's Golden Jubilee recount some of the humorous stories of her past life in the convent.
