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.
