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.

11 was perhaps one of the most suc- cessful years concerning activities for the National Honor Chapter of Red Bank Catholic. 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.
